What you’re looking at
This is primarily an **advertising page** from Judge magazine, featuring liquor and beer ads alongside humorous editorial content. **The advertisements** promote Hunter Whiskey, Judge Prints, and Ruppert's Knickerbocker Beer using appeals to taste, sophistication, and digestion—typical early 20th-century marketing. **The editorial humor pieces** include: 1. **"A Real Grouch"**: A satirical anecdote about an impossibly demanding Washington father who complains his son graduated second in his Yale class, then complains when the son becomes first—mocking parental perfectionism. 2. **"The Union Forever"**: A nostalgic reconciliation story where a Union doctor (General Patrick's wing) and Confederate Senator (General Jackson's wing) discover they faced each other at Antietam, now bonding over smuggled alcohol at a "dry" banquet—celebrating post-Civil War reunion sentiments. 3. **"What's the Use?"**: A brief joke about a child manipulating parental trust to access jam, reflecting period attitudes about childhood innocence and parental discipline. These pieces reflect Judge's satirical commentary on American society, politics, and family life circa early 1900s.

THE BEER THAT SATISFIES co In anawerine advertisements please mention JUDGE. It will be appreciated. A Real Grouch. There is in Washington an old “‘grouch’’ whose son was graduated from Yale. When the young man came home at the end of his first term, he exulted in the fact that he stood next to the head of his class. But the old gentle- man was not satisfied. “Next to the head!’’ he exclaimed. “‘What do you mean? I'd like to know what you think I’m sending you to col- lege for? Next to the head! Why aren’t you at the head, where you ought to be?”’ At this the son was much crestfallen, but upon his return he went about his work with such ambition that at the end of the term he found himself in the cov- eted place. When he went home that year he felt very proud. It would be great news for the old man. When the announcement was made, the father contemplated his son for a few minutes in silence; then, with a shrug, he remarked, “*At the head of the class, eh? Well, that’s a fine commentary on Yale Uni- versity !’’— Washington Post. “The Union Forever.”” At a banquet given in Philadelphia not long ago, Senator Johnstone, of Georgia, and Dr. James P. Kimball, of Red Lodge, Mont., were neighbors, and each found it a matter of regret that the occasion promised to be ‘‘dry.’’ So the doctor exerted himself to find a beverage more to their liking than ice water. Under the mellowing influence of the result of his efforts, the doctor and the Senator conversed freely and discovered that they had faced each other at the battle of Antietam, Dr. Kimball having been on General Patrick’s right wing, while Senator Johnstone was on General Jackson's left. At the conclusion of the banquet the Senator laid his hand upon the shoulder of his new-found friend and, with a glance at the empty bottle, said in deep- est gratitude, ‘‘Doctor, I’m glad I did not kill you.”’—Lippincott’s Magazine. What's the Use? “Mother,’’ said Bobby, after a full week of obedience, ‘‘have I been a good boy lately?” “Yes, dear,’’ replied his mother. ‘‘A very, very good boy.’” “*And do you trust me?”’ he continued. “Why, of course mother trusts her little boy!’ she answered. But the chastened child was not paci- fied. ‘I mean really, really trust me, you know,”’ he explained. “Yes, I really, really trust you, nodded his mother. ‘Why do you ask? “Jest becuuse,’’ said Bobby, diving his hands into his pockets and looking at her meaningly in the face, ‘‘if you trust me like you say you do, why do you go on hiding the jam?’’—Answers. A Suggestion.—Old Richfellow (des- perately)—‘‘If you refuse me, what is there left for me to do?” Miss Pertleigh—‘‘Well, I read the other day about a rich man who made his will in favor of the woman who re- fused him, and then went out and hanged himself.’’—Boston Traveler.
