What you’re looking at
This page contains three separate joke items from *Judge* magazine, likely early 1900s based on the illustration style. **"Good Advice"** mocks General Pershing's counsel to Mexican rebels, with wordplay suggesting they should "take to their legs" (flee) rather than fight. **"Sufficient Reason"** is a brief exchange about calling a house a "bungalow"—the humor relies on the term's then-novelty and the pun that one "owes" money for it. **"Who's the Boss?"** shows a man and woman in what appears to be an automobile showroom (signs visible). The caption's ironic title suggests marital power dynamics—though the image is unclear about the specific satire intended regarding automobiles or gender relations. The page exemplifies *Judge's* style: topical, punchy one-liners mixing political commentary with domestic humor.
