What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and humor columns**, not political satire. The main content includes: **The "Boston Baby" piece** satirizes how adults speak to infants in baby talk ("choo-choo cars," "coaties," "tick-tick"). The joke: an exasperated baby narrator resolves to teach adults proper English, frustrated by their linguistic condescension. **"Swagger Thing" and "Crop Stories"** are light humor columns—one mocking fashionable social behavior, the other presenting tall tales about impossibly large crops that farmers tell until listeners flee. **Legal/Social Humor** includes a pun on divorce (Hattie D. "Shook" divorcing John "Shook"). The page is dominated by **product advertisements** (Ed. Pinaud's toiletries, Club Cocktails, Williams' Shaving Soap, home-building books), typical of Judge's commercial content. There are no identifiable political figures or cartoons requiring historical context—this appears to be a regular issue page mixing light domestic humor with period advertising.

The baby was soliloquizing. “These people about me,” it said wea- rily to itself, «show a shocking lot of lin- guistic impediments. They cannot say “railroad train," but instead have to make themselves inditferently understood by saying in a scarcely intelligible jargon, ‘ choo-choo tars.’ They cannot say * cloth- ing,’ but must say ‘coaties,’ Half the time it is almost impossible for me to gather their meaning. Accordingly, I have resolved upon a heroic course.

CROP STORIES. “Yes,” said a farmer near Detroit, the crops is poor this year, but you must remember that we had a poor growin’ season, “Tain’t always so, I remember when th’ corn used to grow twelve feet high, had ears two feet long, an’ four of ‘em made a bushel. “Yes, sir.

NEW YEAR'S CALLS. TIME " APPLE-JACK.” Twenty-five years ago the custom of, making New Year's calls was a delight- ful one for all concerned, until some of the boys got more egg-nog ” or apple- jack” than they could successfully carry. Then the ladies tried to be charitable and the gentlemen tried to be as chival- rous as ever and stand up at the same time. If anyone thinks there has not been considerable improvement made in the last quarter of a century in the use of lalcoholic beverages, let him stop’ to con- sider, among other things, the fact that |the old custom of New Year's calls and |the genteel tippling is nearly obsolete. The custom of calling on one’s friends, however, at the beginning of the new ‘ar, is a good habit, and another good abit to start at that time is the use of, well-made Postum instead of coffee or spirits. A Staten Island doctor has a sensible daughter who has set Postum before her guests as a good thing to drink at Yule- ‘Tide, and a good way to begin the New Year. Her father writes : | “My daughter and I have used Postum “Tshall not only recommend it to my to our Christmas and New Year's callers.” Read“ The Road to Wellville,” in pack- |ages. “There's a reason.” Wilson - For guarartee of purity, see back \abel onevery baile: Andis WAY ‘THE CANDIDATE'S WOE.
