What you’re looking at

This page from Judge magazine (a major American satirical publication) is primarily an **advertising and humor miscellany** rather than political cartoons. The main content includes: **Poetry & Humor**: Sentimental verse about "cuddle-time" with babies, followed by light jokes about young women, city life, and social embarrassment—typical Judge fare mixing sentimentality with gentle mockery. **Notable Satire**: "A Foxy Tenant" depicts an elderly Black man in Worcester, Massachusetts who has avoided paying rent for years by leveraging his political influence—he promises to deliver Black voters' support to his landlord (a banker running for office) in exchange for forgiveness of debt. The satire targets both tenant manipulation and landlord political desperation, though the racial dialect stereotyping reflects the era's conventions. **Advertisements**: High Life Beer ("Champagne of Bottle Beer"), Packer's Tar Soap, and piano ads dominate the page—standard commercial content for Judge. The page reflects early 20th-century American humor: sentimental domesticity, light social satire, and casual racial stereotyping typical of the period.

THE JOYS OF CUDDLE-TIME. As the evening shadows gather, Then ‘tis cuddle-time, I know, When my baby, «lressed for Dreamland, Comes a-rompin’ to me s Comes and begs of me to hold ‘him On my knees and ** rock-a-bye,” As the purpling sun sinks lower In the gleaming western sky. And he cuddles to me nearer, As the firelight softly glows, And across the dusky, portals Ghostly, flickering shadows throws ; And two dimpled arms about me Are clasped tighter for a kiss— Ah, was ever richer necklace Placed about one’s neck than this? Soon the drooping, drooping lashes Cover up two eyes of brown, And the tousled head so golden On my breast sinks lower down. Ah, the sweetness of the pleasure, Making life one golden rhyme, With a dimpled babe to fondle When it comes to cuddle-time ! —Anwers. The day after you need Abbott's Angostura Bitiers.

He occupied a little house owned by a promi- nent banker, but had successfully evaded the payment of rent for many years. No trouble came, however, until the banker was nominated to run for a political office. The next day the old negro came hob- bling into his office. + Well, Sam,” said the banker, I sup- | pose you've come in to pay me some rent.” Oh, no, boss,” replied the old man. “I's just come in to say I's glad yo’ is nominated, an’ will tell de res’ of dese no- ‘count niggers to vote fo' yo, an’ to men- tion to yo’ at de same time dat de roof of my house is leakin’, an’ if it ‘tain't fixed Till have to move out directly."—Lippin- cott’s, Oh! the music of the Ocean In the iridescent cave Makes the oyster very happy As‘he dances on the wave !

WHY SUNNY SOUTH? The little toy ‘gator is grinning again From his piace in the curio store ; The souvenir postal is back in the rack, And the tarpon scale here as before. There is joy in the heart of the hostelry man, For this is the time of the year That his dreams are of shekels, and, wak- ing, he sings, “ The tourists are headed for here.”* The panama hat has been hidden from view, The mosquito bars folded away, And the silks and the satins have taken the place Of chiffons, the mulls and pique. The automobile kings are Florida bent, The high-ball has vanished the beer ; There are car-loads of oranges journey: ing north, But the tourists are headed for here. The decoy ducks once more float stol- idly by ; The mountain resorts are forgot ; The circus and carnivals come back again, While talk turns to drama and plot. The small boy is dreaming of turkey and pic, For Thanksgiving time is drawing near ; Oh, its dreary and cold save in Florida now, So the tourists are headed for here. —Florida Times-Union, PHYSIOLOGY IN THE SCHOOLS. The following answers to questions in physiology were taken from the papers written by a class of boys in a Philadel- phia public school, who are nearly all Russian Jews: “An organ is a piano of the body that has some special work to do.” Digestion is mainly carried on in the New England states.” “The teeth found in an adult are in- cisors, biscuits and moulders.” “The first set of teeth are called the milk or temperate set.” , “The digestive fluid secreted by the mouth is the alimentary canal.” “+ The epiglottis is a little trap door in the chin, We should not pick our teeth with pins nor scrape them with a nail." —New York Sun.

HONESTY APPRECIATED. * Do you know,” a pretty bride of three months said to a friend the other day, “T think all these jokes about young wives having so much trouble with butchers and grocers, and being cheated, and all that, are just too foolish.” “Then I presume you are getting on all right with yours, dear ?" her friend in- | quired. “Why, of course I am! Anybody would if they would just deal ata reliable place,” the young wife declared.“ Now there is my grocer,” she continued. He is just as obliging’ and thoughtful as can be. The other day I ordered a dozen oranges, and when they came I found there were but eleven in the hag, so when I went to the store again I told him so. “+ Why, yes, ma’am,’he said. ‘I know there were. [had put ina dozen, but | | noticed that one of them was spoiled, and, | of course, I couldn't send you any but the | best goods, so I took it out.” “Now, don't you think that was nice in him to be so thoughtful and honest ?” she continued.—Detroit News.
