What you’re looking at

This page mixes humor columns with advertising. The main content includes: **"Judge's Favorite"**: A photo of Grace Washburn, an actress at the Winter Garden theater, paired with a brief joke about a young man showing more interest in a "young missus" than in art at an exhibition—poking fun at romantic distraction. **"Artemus Ward Up-to-Date"**: A humor column mimicking 19th-century humorist Artemus Ward's deadpan style, offering sardonic observations about modern life: pawnbrokers, divorce, Mormonism, failed singing talent, and drawing skills. The jokes rely on unexpected punchlines and wordplay typical of the era. **Short anecdotes**: Brief jokes about Irish servants, marriages, and sales tactics—standard period humor. The page is primarily **advertising-heavy**, featuring Apenta water, Blatz beer, and Hotel Nassau promotions—typical of Judge magazine's revenue model. The cartoons and columns are minor entertainment filler between paid advertisements.

Comes a Time WHEN COFFEE SHOWS WHAT IT HAS BEEN DOING. “Of late years coffee has disagreed with me," writes a matron from Rome, N.Y. “Its lightest punishment being to make me ‘logy’ and dizzy, and it seemed to thicken up my blood. “The heaviest was when it upset my stomach completely, destroying my ap- petite and making me nervous and irri- table, and sent me to my bed. After one of these attacks, in which I nearly lost my life, I concluded to quit the coffee and try Postum, “It went right to the spot! I found it not only a most palatable and refresh- ing beverage, but a food as well. “All my ailments, the ‘loginess’ and dizziness, the unsatisfactory condition of my blood, my nervousness and irrita- bility disappeared in short order and my sorely afflicted stomach began quickly to recover. I began to rebuild and have steadily continued until now. Have a good appetite and am rejoicing in sound health which I owe to the use of Postum.”* me given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

I have a great passion for photo- graphs—of myself—and a fondness for people who beg me for my pictures— few ever do. I have an uncle who takes photo- graphs, a servant who takes anything he can get his hands on—and a few jokes which won't take anywhere. I could draw on wood at a very tender age—I once drew a small cartload of raw turnips over a wooden bridge. Now I draw on the imagination and on the bank—very seldom on the bank.
