What you’re looking at
This is primarily an **advertising page** from Judge magazine, not political satire. The page contains multiple product advertisements (Behning pianos, Durbar Gems jewelry, Allen's Foot-Ease powder, hotels) alongside a section titled "Stories With Smiles"—lighthearted comic anecdotes with punchlines. The three brief jokes are gentle humor about everyday situations: a persistent salesman who finally sells a glass cutter after rejecting everything else; a doctor telling a hungry girl she doesn't need a fork; and a setup about Scotch honesty (text cuts off). These are situational comedies rather than political commentary—typical filler content for magazines of this era, designed to entertain readers between advertisements. The page reflects early 20th-century consumer culture and advertising practices.

Now, get out!’’ “Thank you,’? said the agent. “That's all I had to sell in the first place."’—Boston Globe. Dr. Holmes and the Fork.—‘‘Are you hungry, little girl?’’ said Dr. Wendell Holmes to one whom he saw looking with longing eyes at the good things before her. ” “Yes, sir,”” was the reply. “Then why don’t you take a sand- wich?" “Because I haven’t any fork."* “Fingers were made before forks,”” said the doctor, smiling. The little girl looked, then said, “Not my fingers.’’—Strand. Truth for the Teachcr.—A story of Scotch honesty comes from Dundee. A small boy had taken the prize for an exceptionally well-drawn map. After the examination the teacher, a little doubtful, asked the lad, “Who helped you with this map, James?” “Nobody, sir.’? “Come, now, tell me the truth. Didn't your brother help you?”" “No, sir; he did it all.""—Los An- geles Herald. An Impediment.—She—"Did you notice that the groom in the deaf and dumb wedding had an impedi- ment in his speech?” He How's that?”” ‘The tip of his finger was —Gargoyle (Michigan).
