What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, with minimal satirical content. The advertisements dominate, promoting liqueurs (Chartreuse, champagne, whiskey), cocktail mixes, and Judge magazine's own picture sets and clipping service. The only cartoon present is titled **"A Touchy Student,"** a small sketch showing a student refusing social invitation because he's "studying what" he can "touch" next—a play on words suggesting financial hardship or desperation. The humor is mild wordplay rather than political satire. The page includes sentimental poetry ("Remember!") about a waiting child, and an anecdote about General Thomas H. Ruger threatening to shoot an unclaimed cheese at his headquarters—gentle humor about military eccentricity. The content reflects **1907 Judge readership**: affluent enough to purchase expensive liqueurs and decorative artwork for summer homes. The heavy advertising suggests Judge relied substantially on commercial revenue rather than satirical editorial commentary on this particular page.

There’s a little boy who watches when the steamers cross the bay, And who turns back disappointed -when they pass upon their way ; Time is dragging — dragging sadly — while I wait to watch his glee As he drops his little playthings and comes down the hill to me! Oh, I pity you who never may forget the work you do To remember one who watches with a yearning heart for you. —Chicago Record-Heruld. THE CHEESE, « The late General Thomas H. Ruger.” | said a Stamford man, + was, like many army officers, an authority on good cook- ing, but he detested rank, high cheeses. Ata dinner he said that a very rank cheese was once left at his headquarters to be called for, and after it had re- mained unclaimed two days he posted up this notice : If the cheese sent here addressed to Private Jones is not called for in two| days it will be shot.’"— Washington Star. | ene” yo! y do drink, //p Ly “A good wife and health Are a man’s best wealth.” 'y Green Label.
