What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* contains several short humorous anecdotes and advertisements typical of early 20th-century satirical magazines. **"The Man for the Tunnel"** jokes about naval officers in dress uniforms flirting with factory girls near train tracks. When one girl shouts "I choose you for the tunnel!" to Paymaster Simpson, the humor relies on the double meaning—she's referring to the train entering a tunnel (a moment of darkness), but the officers interpret it as a flirtatious advance. The joke plays on the officers' vanity and the girls' boldness. **"A Husband's Lesson"** tells of Congressman Moss complaining about his wife's plain hat. When he accompanies her to select one himself, he chooses an expensive hat ($40—substantial money then) and learns never to criticize her purchases again. The satire mocks male presumption about women's fashion judgment. **"Marking Them Down"** is a brief suffragette joke playing on "plank" (political position) and women's "ages"—a common anti-feminist taunt. The page is mostly advertisements for *Sunny Brook* whiskey, *Evans Ale*, and other products, with modest editorial content.

They were in the glory of full-dress uniform. At a junction the train stopped, owing to some minor accident, and the officers, manlike, dis- mounted to look at the machinery and find out what was wrong. Just then a factory whistle blew and several hundred girls trooped out of a big manufactory near the tracks. Of course they spied the glittering group of men and gathered in groups, laughing with flirtatious in- tentions, calling out bold flatteries, and the officers were not slow in responding. But soon the train began to move and the men entered the Pullman, waving farewells. Paymaster Simpson, one of the Apollos of the navy, was the last man to mount the step. He raised his hat gallantly and stood smiling, in one of his best poses. When the car was well on the way, one of the girls shouted to him, ‘‘Ah, there, Charlie! 1 choose you for the tunnel!" A Husband's Lesson. Congressman Ralph W. Moss, of In- diana, did not care much for a hat his wife wore. He finally spoke about it. Mrs. Moss admitted that it was plain, and, instead of taking exception to her husband's remark, invited him to accom- pany her the next time she bought a hat. “Tcan certainly pick out a better one than that,’’ said Mr. Moss. So they went to the store together. Mrs. Moss id not a word as the comely milliner displayed one beautiful bonnet after an- other. It was the first time Mr. Moss had ever been in a millinery store, but he appeared to be at ease and finally selected one of the most joyful creations inthe entire stock. Mrs. Moss looked well in it. She was pleased. “I'll take that,’’ said the Hoosier congressman. ‘*How much is it?’’ “Forty dollars,’’ said the pretty girl, without even a blink. Mr. Moss saw blue stars, but luckily he had just come from the bank and was able to produce that much in cash. Now he lets Mrs. Moss buy her own hats and does not complain about their being plain, Marking Them Down. “What is the principal plank in the tufragette’s platform?” ‘Downward revision of women's ag: In answeri: aBavata THE—PURE FOOD—WHISKEY [J [J ogee To arrive at the top in any department of commercial effort one must produce, offer and do better than has been produced, offered or done before.
