What you’re looking at
This is a humor page from *Judge* magazine featuring short jokes and quips labeled "Laughs and Smiles." The cartoons and text satirize everyday domestic and social situations of the early 20th century. Key items include: **"REVENGED AT LAST"**: Jokes about plants having feelings—mocking pseudo-scientific sentiment about nature. **"JUST HIS LUCK"**: A boy advances in school due to good behavior, but his father is disappointed because he'd counted on saving money from tuition costs—satirizing parental selfishness. **"CAUTIOUS"**: A woman's second husband won't eat her cooking (implying she's a bad cook), while her first husband ate everything—dark humor about her husband's survival instincts. **"WHEN HE SAT DOWN"**: A man's club speech was well-received, but a friend told him he'd left before the actual speech—satirizing false flattery. The page also contains advertisements (Evans' Ale, Sunny Brook Whiskey, Nestor Cigarettes) and reflects period concerns about marriage, domestic life, and social propriety.
