What you’re looking at

This page primarily showcases **"A Chance for Amateur Artists,"** Judge's invitation for readers to submit comic drawings for publication and prizes ($5 for the funniest, $2.50 for second place, $1 for others). The upper portion contains several **brief jokes**—"Out of the Mouths of Babes"—exploiting children's innocent misunderstandings: a Sunday school pupil's dark quip about lying, a child confusing leghorn chickens' legs with horns, and another equating bathing with church attendance. The main cartoon depicts an exaggerated artist-figure painting stick figures, captioned "Send It to Judge," encouraging amateur submissions. The page is primarily **advertising and editorial content** rather than political satire. It advertises Red Top Rye whiskey, Williams' Shaving Soap, and The Keeley Cure (for alcohol/drug addiction). **Historical context:** This reflects Judge's open-submission policy and early 20th-century magazine culture. The jokes reflect period attitudes—religious irreverence was considered humorous, and children's innocent remarks amusing to adult readers.

Sage A CHANCE FOR AMATEUR ARTISTS | For many years JupGe has counted himself fortunate in the number and constancy of his amateur artist friends. Year in and year out this eager and aspiring host has favored us with a multitude of comic drawings. These have, in most cases, been unavailable for publication, and JupGE has been under the painful necessity of returning them. But correspondence has grown out of these rejections which has not infrequently led to pleasant friendships, and now and then an amateur has developed his talent and ultimately joined JupGe’s regular staff of contributors. Now we propose to do something to make amends for these years of apparent hostility to the amateur. for some time to come devote a page to the drawings of amateur artists. JupcE herewith invites his amateur friends to send in their drawings.
