What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and humor stories** rather than political satire. The content reflects early 20th-century American consumer culture and social humor. The **ads** promote luxury goods (Cook's Champagne, Sunny Brook Whiskey, Schultz Ginger Ale, Cuticura Soap) targeting affluent readers—typical of Judge's audience. A notable ad features "The Inspector" overseeing Sunny Brook Whiskey, playing on Pure Food and Drug Act compliance concerns from that era. The **humor stories** mock wealthy industrialists: J.P. Morgan's anecdote ridicules his stinginess (a check from Jay Gould so worthless only a waste-paper dealer would accept it). The Bishop of Lincoln story uses a servant's innocent misunderstanding for comedy. The Harry Coleman story about photographing the San Francisco earthquake commandeering an auto plays on post-disaster chaos. These pieces reflect Judge's satirical approach to American society—poking fun at the wealthy and powerful through gossip and comedic anecdotes rather than pointed political commentary.

Its Worth. P. MORGAN, giving his opinion of a certain promissory note, said, “It reminds me of a check that Jay Gould once received. His bookkeeper Bo asked him if it was worth anything, ‘Of course it’s worth something,’ Jay replied. ‘Goldstein will tell you how much.’ Goldstein was a dealer in waste paper." Who It Was., A delightful man as well as an excel. lent story-teller was the late Dr. King, Bishop of Lincoln. He had a valet, who was a little reckless in his mode of life when not on duty with the bishop. The bishop, hoping to counteract this, tried often to impress him with the omnis: cience and omnipresence of his Divine One day, when Joseph was as- ig him in some of the details of his » he said to him, ‘‘Joseph, Who is it that always has an eye upon you, Who follows you wherever you go, Who sees your every action and hears your every word, and to Whom even I am as a worm of the earth?” Joseph advanced quite close to the bishop and, looking around guardedly, replied in a very low voice, “The missus, sir!"’ A Boomerang Hold-up.
