This page contains light satirical content rather than political cartoons. **"The Ten Little Suffragettes"** is a poem parodying the nursery rhyme "Ten Little [N-word]," tracking suffragettes' numbers declining through various mishaps—losing votes, facing arrests, and eventually dwindling to none. It mocks the women's suffrage movement by treating activists as foolish rather than principled. **"Points on Sparking"** quotes a Western college physics professor explaining electrical principles, apparently comparing romantic "sparking" to electrical phenomena—a mild flirtation joke. The automobile cartoon shows a car styled like a revolver, captioned as "guaranteed to travel with the speed of a bullet," satirizing dangerous driving speeds. The content reflects Judge's conservative stance against women's suffrage while embracing genteel humor about courtship and automobiles.

The Ten Little Suffragettes. By BW. TEITZEL PEN LITTLE suffragettes, standing in a line; One spied a bargain sale, then there were nine. Nine little suffragettes, at a debate; One strained her vocal cords, then there were eight. Eight little suffragettes, out until eleven; Her husband came after one, then there were seven. Seven little suffragettes, up to cunning trick: One criticised another's hat, then there were six. Six little suffragettes, for votes they did contrive; A tiny mouse scared one away, then there were five. Five little galore; A big cop arrested one, then there were four. suffragettes, making noise Four little suffragettes, glad that they were free; A mere man proposed to one, then there were three. Three little suffragettes, to their movement true; One tried to make a speech, then there were two. Two little suffragettes, with their work un- done; Half sailed back to England, then there ‘was one. One little suffragette, in it just for fun; None to listen to her talk, then there was none. No Pretense. School teacher—'*‘Do not attempt to deny it! You were playing hookey !"” Kid—‘'I was not. I was indead earnest.”’ “YOU LOOK PROSPEROUS. SOMETHING GOOD TURN UP?” “YEP. RICH UNCLE TURNED UP." HE WORLD admires a good loser, but, for all that, it doesn’t want to loan him anything. Points on Sparking. A FOREIGN-BORN professor of physics in a Western college was lecturing to a class of young men and light-hearted “*co-eds."” With reference to an electrical apparatus before him, he explained in the gravest manner possible: “You see, when I keep dese two metal points far apart, de electric spark makes 8 great noise, but not so when I bring dem closer togedder. So, ladies and gentlemen, observe de general rule: De report iss never so great when de sparking distance is short."" A Testimonial. D8 doctor—About three weeks ago my wife discovered that her hair switch had been stolen from the hook where she always hangs it upon retiring. She im- mediately procured a bottle of your cele- brated Lightning Hair Restorer and applied it (to the hook) according to directions. What was her surprise, the next morning, to find the switch restored to its usual place on the hook, and, moreover, it was tied round with a blue ribbon. Yours truly, ete. The Same Old Story. ACK SPRATT bought an auto. His wife is getting lean, For 'twixt them both It keeps them broke To buy the gasoline. TENDER SPOT—Between engine and baggage car. \ — AFTER THE TORPEDO BODY—THE REVOLVER STYLE. The newest model. Guaranteed to travel with the speed of 9 bullet This should prove a killing pace. comicbooks.com
