What you’re looking at
This page from Judge magazine contains multiple brief satirical pieces typical of early 20th-century American humor, plus period advertisements. **"Tough on the Dog"** satirizes household economy during high inflation—a wife's relentless reuse of a ham bone (boiled for soup, scraped for marrow to grease griddles) before finally giving the stripped bone to the dog. The joke mocks both wasteful "extravagant" wives and the irony that even the dog gets little. **"A Bit of Annoyance"** features a failed hunter blaming a boy for startling his prey—a mild complaint about incompetent hunting companions. **Other brief jokes** mock pretension ("The Natural Deduction"—a poorly-dressed man with absurdly fancy accessories) and wordplay about modern conveniences (comparing aircraft endurance to baby-sitting). The page is primarily **filler content**: short humor pieces and advertisements for Velvet tobacco, champagne, and patent medicines. No specific political figures or major events are referenced—this represents Judge's typical satirical commentary on everyday life, fashion, and social manners rather than political cartooning.

Can't you cut a few scraps of meat from it for dinner this even- ing?” “I cut off all the meat I could night be- | fore last for dinner.”” “Well, then, you might boil it this even- ing. We'll have soup.” “Yes, ma'am. And what do you want me to do with it then?”’ “To-morrow morning you might see if A BIT OF ANNOYANCE, Unsuccessful sportsman (who has found the driven partridge much too difficult for him). beastly boy wouldn't do that !"'—London Punch. you can’t get enough marrow out of it to grease the griddle for pancakes.” “Yes, ma’am."" “‘And, Mary, after that you may give it to the dog.’’—Chicago Record-Herald, Is This True? “A man’s dearest friend is usually an old schoolfellow.”* “Say the rest of it.”” “But a girl’s dearest friend is generally some damsel she’s known about ten da; —Louisville Courier-Journal.

A fashionable photographer, however, has undoubtedly attained the pinnacle of tactful achievement. A woman with a de- cided squint came to him for a photograph. “Will you permit me,’? he said promptly, “to take your portrait in profile?
