What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* contains primarily **advertising and humor anecdotes** rather than political satire. The content includes: **"Sour Grapes"** — A brief humorous story about a playwright (William Dean Howells) whose theatrical productions failed, with a subplot about a man named Jobson whose marriage proposal was rejected. The "sour grapes" reference suggests Howells criticizes modern theater because his own work didn't succeed. **"Edible Collars"** — A short joke about Governor Stubbs's brother, who orders a servant to buy collars; the servant mistakenly purchases digestible/edible collars instead. **"The Line He Carried"** — An anecdote about Bishop Watterson of Nebraska, who cleverly deflects personal questions by claiming to work for "Lord and Church" (a religious pun), with locations "all over the world." The remainder is **commercial advertising** for Iver Johnson revolvers, Hunter High-Ball beverages, Blatz beer, and the New York Central's 20th Century Limited train. These are light social humor pieces typical of *Judge's* satirical magazine format—jokes about everyday life rather than political commentary.
