What you’re looking at

This page contains humorous short stories and a tobacco advertisement. **The Stories:** Three brief comedic anecdotes illustrating human folly: a homely man asking a child's opinion (child wisely refuses to answer), a gypsy and Pole trading a lame horse (each believing they've outsmarted the other), and Uncle Joe Cannon criticizing a "muck-raker" journalist for recycling scandal stories. **The Advertisement:** The dominant right side features a large Prince Albert pipe tobacco ad. It uses casual dialect ("Getting right down to it, says Hunch") and promises that Prince Albert tobacco, packed in any pipe ("jimmy pipe"), enhances smoking pleasure without the biting sensation other tobaccos cause. The copy emphasizes the product's universal compatibility and superior quality. **Context:** This appears to be early 20th-century advertising merged with light satire—typical of Judge's format mixing entertainment with commercial content. The reference to "muck-raker" journalists suggests progressive-era skepticism about sensationalism.

Instead of replying, the boy turned side and thoughtfully hung his head. “You haven’t answered me,’’ smilingly persisted the caller, ‘‘Aren’t you going to tell me what you think of me?”’ “No, sir,’’ returned the youngster. “Do you suppose that I want to get a lickin’?""— Philadelphia Telegraph.
