What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and humor columns**, not political cartooning. The dominant feature is a **Miller High Life beer advertisement** claiming superior sales growth and purity. The decorative art deco design features stylized female figures and a champagne bottle. Below are several **humorous anecdotes** in the "Judge" style: - "Just Like the Fly" offers moral instruction comparing human weakness to a fly drawn to molasses - "Doing Time by Mail" is a brief joke about a burglar requesting correspondence courses in prison - "Hey, Rube!" excerpts amusing circus coverage from a small Indiana newspaper, highlighting colorful language and local events - "Turned the Tables" tells of Oxford students condescending to a Jewish shopkeeper who outsmarts them with linguistic wit—the punchline being the shopkeeper calling *them* fools for knowing fewer languages than he does The page also includes a vintage **fruit advertising illustration** ("The Cake in the Hand / If it isn't PEAR / leave it in the store"). These pieces reflect Judge's mix of advertising, light social satire, and jokes rather than sharp political commentary.

Botjer, Distributor, 353 Broadway, Long Island City, New York. HIGH LIFE; VLBEER Dy. MILWAUKEE JUST LIKE THE FLY. Note the fly in the molasses, and apply the lesson taught ; He was where he had no business, and for punishment was caught. Life is full of traps and pitfalls, set for. unsuspecting feet, But we bite and take our chances like the fly to gain the sweet. —Dallas (Texas) News. DOING TIME BY MAIL.

A woman has such an imagination she n almost believe her husband is as “HEY, RUBE!” There was a circus in Shelbyville, Ind., a few days ago, and the Shelbyville Vews got out a lively paper the next morning. We extract a few paragraphs from its in- teresting columns: “The parade, more than a mile in length, using the words of Mrs. Caudle, who could not express herself, was ¢ splen- differous.’ The tinseled horses, plumed riders, silver- and gold-mounted harness, gorgeous wagons, invisible animals, all added enthusiasm to the spectators who thronged the street. “One of the lady bare-back riders fell while on a horse with two companions, | a man and woman, during the perform- ance Wednesday afternoon, slightly injur- ing her left leg. She quickly remounted with a smile on her face. The left limb} was painfully bruised and strained by the| fall. ‘A man named Baker, hailing from near Smithland, engaged in a fistic en- counter with a showman at the grounds| while intoxicated on Wednesday afternoon | and was worsted in the fight. | * Israel D. Jewett and his wife and son, Dr. Earl, and family, came to Shelnyville from St. Omer Wednesday to attend the circus. “E. A. Tucker, one of the good oli hard-tisted farmers and patron and friend of the Morning News, was in the city Wednesday. “Matt Harris, from a horse Saturday, who received a kick is improving.” OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES, Small Peter Did your mother pun-| ish you for going in swimming yesterday, as she threatened to?"

A good story is told of two Oxford un- dergraduates touring the east, who en- tered the shop of a Jew whose knowledge of English, though he spoke most other tongues, was limited. With the custo- mary carelessness of the Anglo-Saxon race when abroad one undergraduate re- marked to the other, on failing to make the Jew understand what he wanted, “The fool does not speak English !" This remark came within the radius of the Jew’s comprehension, and drew from him the following questions : “Do you spik Italian 2" to which they replied : “Do you spik Grik ?” “Do you spik Turk 2” “No.” “Do you spik Spanish ?" “Do you spik Russian ?” After a pause the old man, with con- siderable energy, ejaculated : "Me one times fool ; you five times fool !" to the complete discomfiture of the young Eng- lishmen. —Tid- Bits. is worth two in the store comicbooks.com
