What you’re looking at

This page contains several unrelated satirical items typical of Judge magazine's format. "The President's Tour" references President Taft's railroad journey across America, hoping to bring "pleasure and not pain" to his travels. The verse mocks him as a "good-natured fellow." "A Stumper" is a classroom joke about a student (Reddy Backroe) who incorrectly locates the Mississippi River in Louisiana, missing the obvious answer. "A Woman's Weakness" depicts a magistrate scolding a woman for denying a crime, sarcastically noting her "youthful appearance" contradicts her protestations. The remaining items are brief humor pieces: "The Smart Boy Again" about a student's response about tyranny, "A Tough Bird" (about a squirrel and gobbler), and various jokes about lost items and babies. The cartoons are simple line drawings accompanying these short comic anecdotes rather than complex political commentary.
