What you’re looking at

This page from Judge's October 1910 issue contains seasonal humor rather than sharp political satire. The content includes: **"Ye Poemme of ye Monthe"**: A whimsical poem celebrating autumn's arrival—summer boarders departing, fall fashions emerging, schoolchildren returning, and fathers contentedly "purring" at home like cats after their wives return from summer travels. **"Seasonable Hints"**: Tongue-in-cheek practical advice mocking current fads and concerns—rubber plants, Halloween pumpkins, the "Jack o' Lantern Bug," and furnace maintenance. **"Mottos for the Month"**: Lighthearted observations about returning vacationers and college life. **The cartoon "Sport with Work Combined"**: Shows a man who has rigged a contraption combining work and recreation—satirizing the era's obsession with efficiency and leisure combined. The "Weather Prognostication" header satirizes political divisions as natural phenomena ("volcanic outbursts in affected districts"), typical of Judge's political commentary tradition, though this particular page emphasizes gentle seasonal humor over sharp political critique.

The pants grow longer on the pup. The mountain house is closing up. The mercury comes down a bit. The gossips now no longer sit And with their wondrous, clever art Pall friend and foe alike apart. We hear the pleasant morning pipe Of apples daily growing ripe, While down along the saffron shore The summer girl doth roam no more. The landlord counteth up his chink. The milk shake’s rather on the biink, And fans and hats from Panama Are quoted "way down under par. The haberdasher now is stuck On trousers flannel and of duck, And no one wears a yachting cap Save he who is a yachting chap. Notes on the above Dates. THESE dates must be used consecutively or the above calendar will be found to be useless. At the hour of packing, these dates were the best available material to be found in our cooling plant. To be kept vigorous and fresh, care must be taken to place them in a cool spot. By special arrangement five Sundays and five half-holiday Saturdays are provided with this consignment, for the benefit of tired business men and football players. Should any of the above dates prove too cold for consumption, this can easily be rem- edied by starting the furnace and warm- ing them over. They will be found entirely responsive to such treatment. SPORT WITH WORK COMBINED. Mr. Sabbubs found little time to go aeroplaning, and less to work, so he ngged up the above con- trivance and it 's working like a charm. Ye Poemme of ye Monthe.

Seasonable Hints. F YOUR rubber plant has not put forth any galoshes by this time, it is fair to assume that it is a non-fruit bearer and that you will therefore have to make your contract for your winter supply direct with the rubber trust. If the trees on your premises show signs of molting about this time, you will do well to lay in two or three hogsheads of carpen- ter’s glue and fasten each leaf to the boughs with this, if you desire your trees to remain shady throughout the winter. Be careful, as the month progresses and Halloween approaches, to place your pump- kin garage under lock and key.

To cure these, a good, stout shingle applied directly over the patch will serve the purpose. A good quality of kinding wood suitable for early October use can be made not only from the walk- ing sticks left behind them at the close of the summer season by your city boarders, but from the loose teeth of your wooden garden rake. These can be removed from the rake without pain by taking them between your thumb and forefinger and giving them a gen- tle jerk. The use of kerosene oil or gaso- line in starting your furnace fire should be avoided as far as pos- sible, unless you are carrying a BEFORE AND AFTER WEDDING BELLS. “Two hearts that beat as one."?
