What you’re looking at

This Judge magazine page (circa early 1900s) contains humorous short stories and advertisements rather than political cartoons. The main content includes three brief jokes: a baseball player's anecdote about a boy who "kindly" releases a trapped mouse to a cat; an Irish conductor's confusing transit instructions; and a librarian's quip about "light reading" directing someone to a basement gas meter. The dominant advertisement is for **Schlitz beer**, emphasizing purity and brown bottles as protection against light decay. This reflects pre-Prohibition era beer marketing and the early 20th-century commercial emphasis on product "purity"—a common advertising trope of the period. A secondary ad promotes **Allen's Foot-Ease** powder and **Forest and Stream** magazine. The page represents typical Judge content: mild, genteel humor aimed at middle-class readers, interspersed with contemporary consumer advertisements. There is no overt political satire or caricature present.

Stories With Smiles. A Kind Little Boy.—Harry Davis, who so long and gallantly led the Athletics, told a story at the banquet of the John D. Shibe Fishing Club that has a streak of humor which fetched roars from the rafters. “There was once a little boy,’’ started Davis, ‘‘who promised his mother that he would do a kind deed every day. Each day for many months he kept his promise. One night he had gone to bed, when he realized that the day had almost gone past and he had not done the little daily deed of kindness, He thought, as he lay in bed, how he could do a kind deed before going to sleep and still keep his promise. It was late, the house was dark, and his parents were long since asleep. He pondered hard, and finally thought of a little mouse that was caught in a trap in the dining- room. The little boy—for he was a very little boy—was not fond of travel- ing through a dark house at night; but he must perform that good deed. So he arose, pulled on his togs, and tiptoed to the dining-room, where the little mouse was a prisoner in the trap. He lit the gas and saw the poor little mouse in the trap, and he took it out of the trap—and gave it to the cat. Thus he accomplished his kind deed.’'—Phila- delphia Bulletin, Slightly Confusing. — An Irish con- ductor on the Payne Avenue line wes trying to make room for more passen- gers in his car during the rush hour the other night.

The Junce Christmas Number starts with an illuminated, colored front page, “A Christmas Hold-up.”” It is typical of the season and full of life. The other Pages are full of the Christmas spirit, and withal full of fun and good nature. Its table of contents (by the way, JUDGE doesn’t usually publish a table of con- tents, but the supposition that it in cluded so many good names that it could not very well let that feature go by) contains the names of John Kendrick Bangs, Roy L.

It is not enough that beer be made pure, it should be kept pure until it reaches your glass. Light starts decay even in pure beer. Dark glass gives the best protection against light. The Brown Bottle protects Schlitz purity from the brewery to your glass. The cost of purity exceeds all other costs in our brewery. We go to Bohemia for hops. One of our partners selects the barley. We go down 1400 feet for pure water. We scald every tub, keg or barrel, every pipe and pump every time we use it. We even filter the air in which Schlitz is cooled. Try pure beer. Ask for Schlitz Brown Bottles. See that crown or cork is branded “* Schlitz."” (LIT 32-M That Made Milwaukee Famous.
