What you’re looking at
This Judge magazine page contains **three brief humorous anecdotes** plus **period advertisements**—not political cartoons. The jokes rely on early-20th-century social conventions: 1. **"The Kind She Wanted"**: A young woman asks a bank teller to open a "charge account" like department stores offer—satirizing women's shopping habits and the novelty of consumer credit. 2. **"Improved Conditions"**: A father boasts of childhood poverty; his son quips that the father's suffering proves nothing since the family's circumstances improved *after* meeting them—a child's logic joke. 3. **"Untimely"**: A Black man complains to cold wind about *timing*, as if addressing a person—wordplay on personification. The advertisements promote **Hunter Whiskey**, **Chartreuse liqueur** (highlighting a recent Supreme Court trademark ruling favoring Carthusian monks), and **Sunny Brook whiskey**—typical of Judge's alcohol advertising during the pre-Prohibition era. The humor is genteel and light, reflecting Judge's middle-class readership.

According to the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court, handed down by Mr. Justice Hughes on May 29th, 1911, no one but the Carthusian Monks (Péres Chartreux) is entitled to use the word CHARTREUSE as the name or designation of a Liqueur, so their victory in the suit against the Cusenier Company, representing M Henri Lecouturier, the Liquidator appointed by French Courts, and his successors, the Compagnie Fermiere de fa Grande Chartreuse, is complete. * * * z * z * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * t z t * * * * * The Parson Glad.— Parson—‘'I'm glad to see you on your way to Sunday school, Algernon.
