What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with interspersed humor content**, typical of Judge's format. The main cartoon ("Gone But Not Forgotten") shows a minister catching a boy fishing on Sunday—a religious observance violation. The joke: the boy admits catching fish on the Sabbath, and the minister warns him God punishes such transgressions. The boy responds that fish got punished for "chasin' worms on Sunday," mocking the minister's piety. Other brief jokes satirize common early-20th-century social types: the "get-rich-quick" scheme promoter who eventually faces arrest; a college student's father misunderstanding "fencing" (swordplay vs. stealing livestock); and family political divisions ("Ma is insurgent, Pa is standin' pat..."). The "Political" verse mocks the era's fractured political landscape—Progressive, Democrat, Socialist movements competing while some citizens remain apathetic ("Buster's just a goat"). The page's bulk comprises product advertisements: White Rock water, Cook's champagne, Philip Morris cigarettes, and the Saint Paul Hotel—representing consumer goods marketed to Judge's upper-middle-class readership.

And men there were who envied him And wondered at his fortune rare; They found the going hard and grim, Beset with sorrow and despair. The get-rich-quick man didn’t work; His schemes brought money rolling in. He used to chortle, with a smirk, It was an easy thing to win. But men there were who plodded on And honestly essayed to climb The heights of fame, and every one Was busy struggling all the time. The get-rich-quick man had the best Of everything to drink and eat. He merely had to dodge arrest; But that was something of a feat. And one fine day detectives came And threw him in a prison cell. | They ‘‘busted”’ up his little game, | And then you should have heard him yell! —Detroit Free Press.
