What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** rather than political satire. The dominant feature is a lengthy cigar advertisement by Herbert D. Shivers (Philadelphia), emphasizing his manufacturing standards and offering trial shipments. The page includes several brief **humorous anecdotes** rather than political cartoons: - **"Origin of a Habit"**: A joke about Eve questioning where Adam's "book of Nature" ends—mild satire on women's curiosity - **"A Mystery"**: A child's observation that adults call identical behavior "naughty" in children but "nervous" in adults—social commentary on adult hypocrisy - **"No Great Difference"**: A schoolmaster's failed attempt to explain the difference between humans and pigs to a student The remaining space contains advertisements for diamonds, cocktail mixers, and Leslie's Weekly holiday issues. **For modern readers**: This reflects early 20th-century magazine culture, mixing light domestic humor with aggressive product marketing. The jokes rely on simple observations about everyday life and gender behavior rather than topical political commentary.

There are fifteen thousand active accounts on my books ‘That is, there are fifteen thousand men con- tinuing to buy cigars from me after they have:given my cigars a fair trial This is about the best evi- dence that I can offer that my cigars make good. There are almost as many reasons why they do, I will name three or four here. First, economy. My custo- mers get their cigars at strictly wholesale prices. Next, they know what they are getting. Every cigar is as I describe it. Another. The cleanest cigar factory in America. ‘Still more. Clean, clear, straight tobacon, No drug- ging, doctoring or flavoring. Next. All strictly hand made cigars. No machine in the world will make a cigar that will smoke as well as one made by the trained hurhan hand. Another. Fair treatment. 1 never ask a man to buy my cigars until he has given them a fair trial at my expense. I manufacture every ‘cigar that I sell, and my factory is not a little basement affair on a side street either, but a full size five story city Luilding liter- ally within the business heart of Philadelphia, and I find it none too large for my ever increasing output. MY OFFER IS: I will, upon request, send one hundred. Shivers’ Panatelas on approval, to a reader of JUDGE express prepaid. He may smoke ten cigars and return the alning ninety at my expense, and no charge for the ten smoked, If is not pleased with them; if he is pleased and keeps them, he agrees to remit the price, $5.00, within ten days. In ordering please inclose business card or give personal references, and state which you prefer—light, medium or dark cigars. My Panatela cigar is hand made, of clear, clean, straight, long Havana filler with a genu- ine Sumatra wrapper. It is the retailer’s 10c cigar. I make other cigars than the Panatela. If you prefer some other size or shape, or cigars with Havana wrappers, permit me to mail you my catalogue, and explain more fully my methods of supplying smokers with genuine cigars at wholesate prices.
