What you’re looking at

This page contains several distinct satirical items: **"Good Place to Leave"** mocks temperance advocates through dialogue—a traveler from "Dangerous Gulch, Montana" notes the town lacks saloons, prompting a temperance worker to boast about this. The joke satirizes the temperance movement's self-righteousness. **"Swift Justice on a Funster"** depicts a character being ejected from a building, likely mocking someone's inappropriate behavior or social pretension. **"Robinson Caruso"** is a serialized illustrated narrative poem retelling Robinson Crusoe, presented as light entertainment. **"Reciprocity in Business"** shows a photographer's reciprocal sign arrangement—subtle business satire about commercial practices. **"The Surfeit of Knowledge"** features a New Yorker and visitor discussing auto rides, satirizing the difference between practical knowledge and mere information. The page combines political/social satire with humorous fiction and illustrations typical of Judge magazine's format.
