What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and light humor**, not political satire. The main content includes: **Advertisements:** Apenta water, Cook's champagne, Philip Morris cigarettes, and the "New Perfection" oil cook-stove dominate the page. **Humor pieces:** Several short, anecdotal jokes and poems, including "The Old Barlow Knife" (nostalgic rural Americana about a childhood pocket knife), "Captain Fibb in Germany" (a mild joke about a prisoner spared because his captor's wife lost her cookbook), and "Doing Well" (wordplay about starting in life). **Pennsylvania Railroad bulletin:** Promotes summer travel to American resorts. These are genteel, non-partisan jokes typical of Judge magazine's lighter fare—sentimental Americana, mild domestic humor, and international anecdotes rather than sharp political commentary. The page reflects early 1900s advertising aesthetics and taste in humor.

I hev seen a lot of cul’try in the city cul’try shops— The knives in silver cases with queer figures on the tops, And knives that are imported from a hundred different grades, And knives with pearly handles and a half a dozen blades; Fancy knives with corkscrews and scis- sors and the rest, Tiny knives to carry in the pocket of your vest. Knives of every fancy and every price, I'm told, From the ten-cent pencil pointer to the knife inlaid with gold; But of all the different cul’try of every style and fad I'd rather have the barlow that 1 had when but a lad, I can recollect that barlow when it stood in Jason’s case, How I used to stand and watch it with an eager, longin’ face; But the pennies of a farm-boy were few and far between, And I saved them in my pocket till 1 wore the linin’ green. Addin’ every chance I had—one, two, and sometimes more, Until I had just fifty—then off to Jason's store; Off in a run through brambles and fields and hills and streams, Not haltin’ till 1 reached it, the object of my dreams; I'm sure I wept for joy, for I never felt 80 glad ‘As when I bought that barlow when I was but a lad. Oh, the barlow of my boyhood—was there ever such a knife? For its memory ever haunts me as I journey on through life. For it me from thi city and it leads me far ai To the heart of Oldhams's woodlands where the squirrels romp and pla To the white oak where I whittled w the bent and battered blade, And the arrows and the bowies and the swords that I made, And the cedar poles for fishin’, and the paddles for my mill, And the triggers for the bird-traps that [OL act behind the hill. | Whittle, whittle, whittle!
