What you’re looking at
This page from Judge magazine contains primarily **satirical humor columns** and advertisements rather than political cartoons. The content focuses on **gender relations and social observations** typical of early 20th-century American humor. The "Thoughts on the Sex" section offers witty commentary on women's behavior—criticizing their bargain-hunting, their power to damage reputations, and their vanity. These pieces reflect the era's condescending attitudes toward women, treating them as objects of amusement. The cartoon at bottom ("Why Brown Called the Census Man Back") shows a man catching a woman in what appears to be a compromising position with another man—the joke being that the census man must return to verify the household count. It's a risqué innuendo typical of Judge's humor. The advertisements include tobacco cessation products, a press clipping bureau, and book-binding services—reflecting period commercial interests. Overall, this represents **early-1900s satirical magazine content**: gender-based humor, mild scandal jokes, and period advertising.

Thoughts on the Sex. A woman can say more in a look than aman can in a book. When the bargain-hunter's last dollar is spent, so is she. It takes a tender young widow to cap- ture a tough old bachelor. We never yet saw a woman so timid she wouldn’t strike a bargain. If a woman knows she’s pretty, it’s not because some other woman told her 80. A shrug of a woman’s shoulders can blast a reputation more effectively than words, Sinnick says more women are wooed for their complexions than for their characters. Although women love bargains, they are not especially fond of the man who cheapens himself in their eyes.—Boston Transcript. The piquancy of a Sherbet is attained by using a dash of Abbott's Bitters.
