This page is primarily **advertising** for luxury goods (champagne, liqueurs, whiskey, pianos) interspersed with brief humorous anecdotes. The small editorial jokes include: **"The Religious Penny"**: A dialogue between a silver dollar and copper penny at a Kansas revival, where the humble penny boasts it attends church more faithfully than the showy dollar—satirizing materialism versus genuine piety. **"Or He Might"**: A New Jersey schoolboy's innocent misunderstanding, thinking the teacher wouldn't permit him to kiss a girl—gentle satire on childhood naiveté. **"Ship Names"**: A joke about vessels named *Romanic* and *Platonic*, with a doctor suggesting merging them into "the Idiotic"—wordplay mocking shipboard romance. The page reflects early 1900s *Judge* content: light social satire mixed with commercial messaging, targeting affluent readers of refined tastes (champagne connoisseurs, piano buyers). The humor is genteel and moralistic rather than politically sharp.

At a religious revival in Emporia, Kan- sas, which closed recently, the attention of the reverend Dr. Munhail, the evangel- ist, was called to the large number of pennies in the offering. One night the preacher held up a silver dollar and a/ copper penny and gave a conversation held by the two coins : “You poor little red cent you; you don’t amount to anything. I'd hate to be * said the big dollar. know I'm not very big,” replied the cent, * but the children like me and I can buy a good many things.” “ Huh ! you can’t buy anything at all,” said the dollar. Just look at me; big and bright and shiny. I can buy a whole lot more than you can.” ‘May be so," said the little red cent meekly, ‘but I go to church a heap oftener than you do, anyway."—£-r. OR HE MIGHT, In a village in New Jersey the school- mistress saw one of the little boys cry- ing. She called him to her and inquired the reason, “ Some of the big boys made me kiss a little girl out in the school-yard,” was the reply. “Why, that is outrageous! Why did you not come right to me 2” + [—I—didn't know that you would let me kiss you,” he said, —Chicago Daily News. SHIP NAMES. Miss Amy A. Bernardy, the well-known writer, was recently having luncheon on the Romanic with Captain Anning and the ship’s doctor, Prior, as the boat lay at anchor in the bay of Naples. “It seems to me,” said the captain, “the name of this boat should be changed to the Romantic, from the amount of spooning that has been going on aboard of her this trip.” “Then another boat of the line,” ob- served Miss Bernardy, * should be called the Platonic.” “I would merge your two boats into one large one,” said the doctor, ** and call it the Idioi Boston Transcrift. |, 1897) equal- Hly protects the fa public against BOTTLED IN BOND ‘Complies with this law and is bottled under direct supervision of Gov't Officials and 13 sealed by U.
