This is primarily an **advertising and humor page** from Judge magazine, not a political cartoon. **Main Content:** The center features a photograph of actress **Louise Gunning** in a revival of Gilbert & Sullivan's "HMS Pinafore" at the Casino Theater—presented as "Judge's Favorite." **Humor Pieces:** Three short jokes appear: 1. "Taming a Buckeye Pedant"—mocks a pedantic professor who over-corrects his wife's grammar, only to be outsmarted when she points out his illogical suggestion would obscure a clock 2. "The Good Loser"—brief quip about fate forcing people to demonstrate losing gracefully 3. "Switch Off!"—wordplay about a train (garment) arriving "on time" **Advertisements:** Include Velvet tobacco, The Western Monthly magazine, and Leslie-Judge Company's "Golf Girl" print by Penrhyn Stanlaws (a fashionable illustration for gentlemen's dens). The page reflects early 1900s American humor: grammar pedantry, domestic comedy, and puns were popular entertainments for Judge's educated, middle-class readership.

Taming a Buckeye Pedant.—They are telling this story about an Adelbert pro- fessor who prides himself on the correct- ness of his English. (‘‘They,’’ let it be noted, refers to certain Western Reserve University students, and they are tell- ing it in whispers. But the murder of the king’s speech will out.) “My dear,” said this professor's wife afew mornings ago, ‘can’t I give you a fresh cup of coffee?” **You doubtless mean a cup of fresh coffee,’’ corrected the professor. ‘‘Par- don me, my dear, but these vulgar errors in rhetoric are easily corrected if we give attention to them. Thank you— the coffee is excellent. By the way, my dear, that picture on the east wall would show to better advantage if you'd hang it over the clock.’’ “Ah,” replied Mrs. Professor quietly, “you doubtless mean if I were to hang it above the clock. Of course you know that if I were to hang it over the clock we should not be able to tell the time. As it is, I can see that you have only three minutes in which to finish your coffee and get to your rhetoric class."’ —Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Good Loser.—The trouble with a “good loser’’ is that fate is always mak- ing him display his peculiar talent.— Chicago Journal.
