What you’re looking at
This page from Judge magazine (a satirical publication) contains several brief humorous anecdotes typical of early 20th-century American humor: **"Same Coming and Going"**: A four-year-old observes that his grandmother's teeth are falling out while his baby sister's are coming in—they look the same to him. The joke plays on innocent childhood logic. **"Attempting Too Much"**: A singer moves an audience with a tender ballad, but when attempting a higher note, the crowd's emotional reaction shifts to mockery and floor-pounding. It satirizes fickle audiences or overreach. **"Fond of Music"**: A woman plays piano constantly—but only when her mother is washing dishes, suggesting she avoids housework rather than genuinely loving music. **Dr. Wines anecdotes**: A schoolmaster canes a student; the boy retaliates by adding "and other lickers" to the doctor's nameplate on his door. Separate jokes mock patent medicines and politicians' vague trustworthiness. **"Exchange of Gifts"**: A husband gives his wife a shotgun for Christmas—likely implying marital discord (a common Judge theme). The page is primarily advertising otherwise, with notices for fat-reducing pills and other products.

One morning at the breakfast table the boy seemed to be deeply meditating about something. “What's on your mind, son?”’ asked his father. “‘T was just thinking about grandma and baby,” the lad replied. baby’s teeth are coming in and that grand- ma’s teeth are coming out, and as far as I can see both of their mouths look alike to | me.’’—Youngstown Telegram. Attempting Too Much. He sang a tender ballad, And every eye was wet— “When you know you're not forgotten By the girl you can’t forget.” But when he tried a higher note Than any heard before, That brutal crowd did whoop aloud And pound upon the floor. —Birmingham Age-Herald. Fond of Music. “She seems to be very fond of music.’’ “Yes, indeed. You'll always find her at the piano when her mother is washing the dishes.'’—Detroit Free Press.

The lad took his revenge in a way that the doctor himself could not help laughing at. Dr. Wines’s front door bore a plate on which was the one word, ‘‘ Wines." The boy wrote an addition to this in big letters, so that when the doctor came home the inscription ran: ‘‘Wines and other lickers.” Bob Footlite (actor)—'‘Failure? I should think it was! The whole play was ruined."’ She—‘‘Gracious!
