This Judge magazine page primarily concerns a **Supreme Court victory for Carthusian monks** protecting their Chartreuse liqueur formula. The monks, expelled from their French monastery under France's 1901 Associations Act, had relocated production to Spain. A French-backed New York company (Cusenier) attempted manufacturing a similar product. The Supreme Court upheld the monks' trademark rights and their exclusive claim to "Chartreuse" in U.S. sales—establishing that the monks' non-use of the trademark didn't constitute abandonment and French law couldn't affect their American rights. The page also features several brief humorous pieces: satirical anecdotes about romance, tariffs, and character-building Sunday school lessons. There's a small illustration depicting an apparently romantic beach scene with ironic caption. The advertisements for P.B. Ale, a press clipping bureau, and paper warehouse are typical commercial content of the era. The underlying theme mixes religious-commercial irony (monks protecting liqueur profits) with working-class humor throughout.

MONKS WIN RIGHT TO CHARTREUSE United States Supreme Court Favors Carthusian Order in Fight to Protect Secret of Its Liqueur. By a decision of the United States Su- preme Court the Carthusian Monks, who make the celebrated liqueur known as Char- treuse, have won their fight against the Cusenier Company, a New York corporation, ter from using the trade- of the monks’ prod- uct in the sale of a similar cordial in this country. The Cusenier Company acts as agent for the French liquidator, Mons. Henri Lecontier, appointed by the French courts to take possession of the property of the monks in France under the Associations act of 1901. Following the forcible removal from their monastery, near Voiron, in the Department of Isere, in France, the monks took their liqueur manufacturing secret with them and set up a factory in Tarragona, in Spain, and there have continued to manufacture the cordial, importing from France such herbs as were needed for the purpose. The French liquidator, it is alleged, under- took to make a cordial identical with or closely resembling the monks’ product. In about all substantial details the claims of the monks have been upheld, except that the defendant company has not been held in contempt. Justice Hughes wrote the deci- sion. The jurisdiction of the Circuit Court was upheld. It was also set forth that the monks’ non-use of the trade-mark did not constitute abandonment and that the Frenche law affecting it could not have any extra- territorial effect as far as this country was concerned, and that the monks have an ex- clusive right to the use of the word Char- treuse in the sale of their product in the United States.—New York Herald, June 20, W1l. es 6 ‘Oh, Be Jolly’* If you'd drink the better ale, better drink At leading Hotels, Restaurants and Cafes G.

A thoughtful Bible student, who thought that he might possibly be of some assistance in a mission Sunday school, undertook to teach a class of a dozen lads, last week, and started off to inculcate the idea of total depravity— thinking to meet with responses that would enable him to make his point plain. ‘Now, boys,’’ he said, ‘‘if I were to draw a chalk line right across here and say, ‘Don't any of you step over this mark,’ what would you do?’ “We'd stay on this side, unanimous response. “*Suppose,’’ he continued, smiling at the ready answer, but thinking to drive the point further home—'‘suppose I'd put you all in an orchard where there were both apples and pears, and suppose I should tell you that you might have the apples but mustn't touch the pears —-then what?"" ““We wouldn’t touch the pears.”’ “‘Superintendent,’’ called the new teacher, ‘‘send me some bad boys, please —these are no good!’’—Ted Robinson, in Cleveland Plain Dealer.
