This page is primarily **advertising**, featuring cruise promotions from the Hamburg-American Line prominently, along with various other product advertisements (ales, health books, cigars). The editorial content consists of three brief **humorous anecdotes**: 1. **"By Self-Delivery"**: A Princeton professor proposing marriage is too timid to speak to the father himself, so sends his fiancée instead. The father's reply—"With the compliments of the author"—is a witty rejection, implying the proposal lacks originality. 2. **"A Large Order"**: Former Florida Governor Albert Gilchrist humorously requests committee members: "one lawyer, one doctor and two men of common sense"—satirizing political appointments by suggesting most politicians lack common sense. 3. **"A Lemon"**: A brief exchange where a man claiming to prefer milk to cocktails is told it would "curdle"—likely implying something unpleasant about his character or constitution. The jokes are genteel social satire typical of Judge's era, mocking timidity, political incompetence, and pretension through anecdotes rather than visual caricature.

I know what I am doing!’’’ By Self-Delivery. President Hibben, of Princeton Uni- versity, tells the story of a professor who had made proposal of marriage to the daughter of a better known Prince- tonian, and was, as a matter of course, referred to the father. The professor, being uncommonly diffident, said to the lady, “Agnes, my dear, you must speak to him for me. I could not summon enough courage to speak to your father on this subject."’ ‘Father is in the library,’’ said Agnes. “Then you had better go to ** sug: gested the professor, ‘‘and I'll wait here.’" There being apparently no help for it, the young lady proceeded to the library. “‘Pather’s answer is pinned to the back of my dress,"’ said Agnes, as she re- entered the room, Turning around, the delighted suitor read these words: “With the compliments of the author.’’ A Large Order (4 One of the gentlemen attending the in- auguration of Florida's new Governor told this story of Hon. Albert W. Gil- christ, the retiring incumbent of the gubernatorial office: Several years ago ex-Governor Gil- christ was a member of the Florida Leg- islature and was trying to get a commit- tee appointed for the carrying out of some pet measure. The speaker of the house asked the ‘‘member from De Soto’’ just what kind of men he wanted on the committee. “One lawyer, one doctor and two men of common sense,"’ was the reply that brought down the house. It did not detract from the general en- joyment that the humor of the reply was unpremeditated. . A Lemon. He—No, I never take cocktails. I prefer milk as a beverage.
