What you’re looking at
This page from the satirical magazine **Judge** is primarily a collection of humor pieces and advertisements rather than political cartoons. The **left column contains "Joe Millerisms"**—short, gentle jokes in a traditional vaudeville style. These include: - A child's misunderstanding about angels (governesses) - An engaged couple's awkward wish-bone moment - A boy's naive solution to water scarcity: stop bathing - Scottish farmers' dialect humor about sheep sales - A child's stomach-sleeping logic - A boy choosing indestructible trousers These are light domestic humor reflecting early-1900s family life and social propriety. The **right side features advertisements**: Apollinaris mineral water ("Queen of Table Waters") and I.W. Harper whiskey, with a whimsical illustration of children celebrating Christmas morning. The page lacks political satire or caricature. It's entertainment-focused—representative of Judge's mix of mild humor and advertising rather than hard-hitting social commentary.

ST ll ee oe Oe ee ed el Joe Millerisms Angels with Wings. *‘What is an angei, mother?’’ asked a six-year-old. “Why, dear, it is a beautiful lady with wings, who flies. But why do you ask?” “*Because I heard father call my govern- ess an angel.” “Oh!’’ said the mother. ‘Well, dear, you watch her and you will see her fly to- morrow."” Christmas Sweets A newly engaged couple were enjoying some blissful moments alone after the Christmas dinner. They had broken the wish-bone at the table. “Tell me what you wished,’ she asked | shyly. “Tell me what you wished,’’ he returned. “Well, I will if you will.’” “‘T hate to do it—it might not come true."’ “But maybe it would. Now, you prom- ised, you know."” “Well, I—er—I wished you'd let me kiss you. Now, what did you wish?” “Oh, I daren’t tell “But you promised.’” “Well—I wished you'd get your w The Boy’s Sacrifice. He was a good little boy and very thoughtful. He had heard about the great scarcity of water throughout the country. He came to his mother and slipped his hand into hers. “Mamma,” he said, ‘‘is it true that in some places the little girls and boys have scarcely enough water to drink?” “That is what the papers say, my dear.”” “‘Mamma,"’ he presently said, ‘‘I’d like to give up somethin’ for those poor little boys and girls.”” His mother gave him a fond look. ‘Yes, dear; and what would you like to give up?” “‘Mamma,”’ he said, in his earnest way, “tas long as the water is so very scarce I think I ought to give up bein’ washed.’"" Just Charity. Two Highland farmers met on their way to church. “Man,” said Donald, ‘‘I was wonderin’ what you will be askin’ for yon bit sheep over at your steadin’?"" “Man,”’ replied Dougal, ‘‘I was thinkin’ I wad be wantin’ fifty shullin’s for that sheep.”” “T will tak’ it at that,’’ said Donald; | “but, och, man, Dougal! I am awfu’ sur- prised at you doin’ business on the Saw- bath."” ‘Business!’ exclaimed Dougal. ‘‘Man, sellin’ a sheep like that for fifty shullin’s is not business at all; it’s just charity.’’ After the Plum Pudding. “No, Willi "’ said his mother; ‘‘no more sweets to-night. Don’t you know you can’t sleep on a full stomach?’” “That's all right, mamma,” said Willie; “Tcan sleep on my back, can’t 1?”” Something to Get from Santa Claus. When the small boy of the family needed a new pair of trousers, mother thought it would be nice to let him choose the kind he wanted. So when they got to the clothier’s she said to him, ‘‘Now, Willie, you may choose from these pants on the counter any pair you like.” ‘Gee! here's my choice, ma,”’ said Wil- | lie. ‘*See the card?” It read: ‘‘These pants can’t be beaten.”” | THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS,” Apollinaris Bottled only at the Spring, Neuenahr, Germany, and Only with its Own Natural Gas.
