What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine (a satirical weekly, circa early 1900s) contains several satirical pieces and advertisements typical of the era. **Main Cartoon Content:** The opening text piece mocks Noah's Ark, jokingly attributing modern rat infestations to Noah's supposedly releasing rats from the ark—a humorous explanation for an everyday pest problem. **Satirical Sections:** - "Worry That's Real" presents workplace anxiety through dialogue between characters named Coakley and Foakley, satirizing middle-class anxieties - "Her Plea" mocks theatrical ambition, where a woman claims she can buy a "figure" despite lacking stage presence—commenting on superficial show-business values - "His Bullet Was a Hornet" tells an absurd anecdote about a man mistaking a hornet's sting for a gunshot—satirizing overreaction and paranoia **Advertisements:** The page is heavily dominated by period ads: John Jameson Whiskey, Mennen's powder, obesity "cures," fountain pens, champagne, and art instruction—reflecting early-1900s consumer culture and dubious health claims common to the era.

The passengers on a:Darby-| bound trolley-car from this city, on the line of the Chester Trac- tion Company, were startled to see a well-dressed man, named Elliott, jump out of his seat clasp his hand to his left breast, and exclaim, “My God, I'm shot !” The man sank back in his seat, piel Stas eee Krementz tered around him, thinking some, miscreant had fired into the car, Collar Button although no shot was heard.

Cire Boys and girls will dread the drudgery less if as an inspiration to well doing they are given a pen they will be proud to write with. A pen that protects clothes from ink spots be- cause its simple, common sense and workmanlike construction keeps the ink in sufficient amount, where it belongs, at the point of the pen and not oozing out from joints and crevices. A pen that stays put in a boy's pocket because of the Clip-Cap. A pen that will teach boy or girl neat and orderly habits.
