What you’re looking at

This page contains Halloween-themed humorous content rather than political satire. The main sections include: **"Some Halloween Suggestions"**: A lighthearted essay discussing Halloween pranks and superstitions, including folklore about seeing one's future husband in a mirror at midnight, and advice on harmless tricks like removing a neighbor's gate or bobbing for apples. **"Night Riders"**: A brief illustrated section with dialogue about apples, appearing to be a humorous domestic exchange. **"The Call of the Wild"**: References Poland's retreat from Africa during what appears to be a military conflict, though details are unclear from this excerpt alone. The page primarily offers entertainment and seasonal advice rather than political commentary, typical of Judge's lighter content during this era.

A scientific investigation into the statement that if you look into a mirror at midnight on Hallow- cen you will see the face of your future husband re- cted in its depths fails to show that there is any foundation in fact for this superstition; but it is true beyond all ques- tion that any young gitl who looks into a hand-glass at any time be- tween six p.m. and midnight of this par- ticular evening will find reflected there the face of her future husband's wif The pranks of Halloween are some- timesrough, and boys particularly should remember not to ex- ceed the speed limit. It is a harmless va- gary to remove your neighbor's gate from its hinges, but any attempt to take the steepleoff the Baptist church and place iton the top of the town hall is regarded as a highly lawless pro- ceeding.

If pumpkins are scarce in your neighborhood, a very acceptable jack o' lantern can be made of an old suitcase—a yellow one preferred—with a kerosene-oil lamp in- side of it.
