What you’re looking at
This page contains **short humor pieces and advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The satirical content includes: **"In Search of His Home"**: A drunk man rings a stranger's doorbell at 2:30 a.m. looking for someone named Jones, then reveals *he himself is Jones*—the humor lies in his obliviousness and poor judgment while intoxicated. **Shorter jokes** mock working-class speech patterns and gender stereotypes ("Family Likeness," "The Eternal Feminine") typical of early 20th-century Judge humor. **Advertisements dominate** the lower half, promoting vacuum cleaners, paper warehouses, train travel (Santa Fe Railway), and Canadian whisky/tobacco—standard commercial content. The page reflects **period attitudes**: casual mockery of working-class accents, stereotypical femininity, and heavy advertising integration. No specific political figures or events are referenced; this is general-interest satirical humor for Judge's middle-class readership.

In Search of His Home. A peaceable resident of West Sixty- ffth Street was rudely awakened from sleep last week, at about two-thirty a. m., by a loud ringing at his doorbell. Throwing open the window, he stuck his head out and in no very pleasant manner demanded to know what was wanted. “Scuse me, sir,"? answered a muddled qoice. ‘‘Does Jones —-hic—hic—live bere?” “Jones?’’? said the party addressed angrily. ‘‘Of course not. What the devil do you mean by ringing people’s bells at this time of morning? Who are you, anyway ?”” “Who'm I?’ asked the disturber, ap- parently surprised at not being recog- nized. ‘Why, I’m Jones!""—Current Literature. : Family Likeness. “| ate killin’ my pigs, William!’ h, so do I, Garge!
