What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and light humor** rather than political satire. The main content includes: **"Ge-lang! Git Up!"** — A humorous Irish dialect poem (noted as from 1860) about an omnibus driver repeatedly shouting "Ge-lang! Git up!" at his mules, with the phrase becoming an earworm that haunts him and others throughout the day. It's ethnic humor playing on Irish-American speech patterns. **"A Chicago Bank 'Gone Up'"** — A joke about a merchant who panics when told his bank has "gone up," misunderstanding it as bankruptcy. The punchline: the bank building was literally raised eight feet (a real 1860s Chicago practice), not financially ruined. The remaining pieces are brief jokes about children's malapropisms and a riddle about crinolines. The page is dominated by **period advertisements** for High Life Beer (Miller-Milwaukee) and other products, with the Judge masthead indicating this is a weekly satirical magazine. No specific political figures or events are referenced.

Little Willie was visiting rélatives in the city. His mother had ‘warned him to be on his good behavior and to avoid saying anything that might give offense. One day, when his aunt asked him at luncheon if he would have some curried chicken, he could not help show- ing his surprise. “Why, what’s the:matter, Willie?” inquired the aunt. ‘*Don’t you like curried chicken? i “Well, aunty, I can’t really say,”’ You see, on the farm we don't curry our chickens—we pick tem,” A little tot was placed on a chair in peas for dinner.
