This page is predominantly **advertising**, with minimal satirical content. The left side features ads for Hunter Baltimore Rye whiskey (emphasizing its 50-year reputation) and Christmas gift cards. The right displays Cook's Imperial Champagne and W. Harper whiskey ads. The editorial content includes brief humorous pieces: "The Ghostly Winter Wind" (a poem about winter folklore), "Shavings" (a statistical joke about men shaving 20+ square miles of facial hair over lifetimes), and "News to Him" (a joke where a British tourist is surprised that American presidents must be 40 years old—implying any boy *theoretically* could become president, but practically cannot due to age requirements). These items represent typical Judge fare: light social commentary and wordplay rather than hard political satire. The page reflects early-20th-century consumer culture and genteel humor aimed at middle-class readers.

For his home is with the witches — Where the goblin-people stay “He's sighin’ an’ he’s cryin’ in the lone- some winter night ; The stars won't light his pathway, for he blows out every light ; He strips the leafy limb, Rocks the rainy steeples dim ; The old ha’nts dance around him, An’ the hills play ghost with him —Atlanta Constitution, SHAVINGS. A statistician bas ascertained that the average man shaves over twenty square miles of space in a lifetime. The figures may astound women or astonish men who wear full beards. They will not be the cause of the least surprise to men who worry along through a weary world facing the daily task of running a razor over uneven surfaces and relieving tedium now and again by cutting off a wart or making an incision, A black-haired man, | whose beard grows more thickly and re- quires more * going over,” may shave over twenty-five or even thirty square miles. Although the fact is not men- tioned, it is probable that a man who neg. lects to have his razor honed may cover fifty miles of space between the time he reaches his majority and the time he finds a respite from his labors in the grave.— p The young man who accepts a situ- ation frequently gets a salary that is smaller than the wages of the young man | who gets a job.—Somerville Journal, ELOQUENCE, From the land of the ivy to the gulf- kissed shores of the southland ; from the busy marts east of the Alleghanies to the - Christmas COOKS CPU UAD Champagne Not the best American Ghampagne But the Best Ghampagne Ce slopes beyond the Rockies and on to the setting sun, a speculating nation has fo-| west, where the red man walks along in peace and an ever-contented citizenship are realizing the benefits of a bounteous feast and happy environments.
