What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and humor anecdotes**, not political cartoons. **Main Advertisement:** A Trimble Whiskey ad (established 1793) features two hands toasting with the sentimental toast: "May your joys be as deep as the ocean, / And your sorrows as light as its foam." **Supporting Ads:** Include Blatz Beer (Milwaukee), a tobacco-cessation product, and Hotel Nassau on Long Island. **Humor Section:** The bulk of the page contains brief, lighthearted joke anecdotes typical of Judge's format—romantic misunderstandings, marital humor, and wordplay. Examples include a young man embarrassed about leaning on a freshly-painted gate, and a woman's concern about suitcase labels falling off during European travel. **Context for Modern Readers:** These jokes reflect early 20th-century social anxieties about courtship etiquette, marital finances, and leisure travel—essentially gentle satire of middle-class life rather than political commentary.

For Dad’s Sake.—The young man was leaning on the garden gate chatting with the object of bis affections, when the latter said hesitatingly, ‘‘I am go- ing to ask a great favor of you." “It’s already granted,” he answered devotedly. “A very great favor,"’ she repeated, as if doubtful of the propriety of stating it. ‘*You're sure that you won't think it forward of me?"’ “‘Never,’’ he answered. ‘‘Nothing you asked could be too great a trial. Only tell me what I can do for you."”” “Well,”’ she replied, with evident re- luctance, ‘‘would you mind not leaning on that gate?
