What you’re looking at

This page consists primarily of **advertisements interspersed with short humor pieces**, typical of Judge magazine's format. The main satirical content includes: 1. **"The Lawyer and the Swede"**: A joke about cross-examining a Swedish immigrant witness with a heavy accent who consistently misunderstands questions, answering literally rather than helpfully. The humor relies on ethnic stereotyping—the Swede's broken English and obtuseness is portrayed as comical, reflecting early 20th-century attitudes toward immigrants. 2. **"Blow to Wagnerians"**: A Pittsburgh manufacturer, forced by his daughters to attend a Wagner concert (high culture), finds it reminds him unpleasantly of factory noise from his working days—satire on the contrast between refined tastes and industrial labor. 3. **Brief quips** about domestic life and human nature scattered throughout. The remainder is advertising for whiskey, pianos, oil heaters, lamps, candy, and other products—this commercial content dominated Judge's pages and subsidized the satirical content.

The lawyer for the defendant was trying to cross-examine a Swede who had been subpaenaed by the other side as a witness in an accident case. “Now, Anderson, what do you do?” asked the lawyer. “Sank you, Aw am not vara well.” «I didn't ask you how is your health, but what do you do?” “Oh, yais ; Aw work.” “ We know that, but what kind of work do you do?” * Puddy hard work ; it ees puddy hard work.” “Yes, but do you drive a team or do you work on a railroad, or do you handle a machine, or do you work in a factory 2” *Oh, yais ; Aw work in fact'ry.” «Very good. What kind of a factory ?” It ees a very big fact'ry.” Your honor,” said the lawyer, ad- dressing the Court, ‘if he keeps on, I think we'll have to have an interpreter.” Then he turned to the witness : “Look here, Anderson, what do you do in that factory—what do you make ?” he =.
