What you’re looking at

This page from Judge (March 6, 1913) is primarily **advertisements and light humor columns**, not political satire. **Main Content:** The centerpiece is "Flotsam: How Mothers Are," a sentimental poem by Miriam Teichner celebrating maternal self-sacrifice—mothers who forgo travel, fine clothes, and personal pleasures to care for their families. This reflects early 20th-century idealization of motherhood. **Supporting humor** includes two brief jokes: a prison warden offering an inmate job choice (the inmate wants "outside work"), and a discussion about trained pythons' prices (playing on the fact pythons have no feet). **Advertisements** fill the remaining space: The One Minute Camera Co. promises $50/week income; Pears' Soap emphasizes "good society" and "refinement"; and hotels advertise competitive rates and locations. **Historical context:** This reflects pre-WWI America's gender roles, consumer culture, and the magazine's mix of sentimental verse with gentle humor—not sharp political commentary.

WARFIELD, Manager “Flotsam How Methers Are Queer, isn’t it, how mothers are? How peacefully content seem they Just to sit back, and, day by day, Let others go the joyous way; Let other people travel far, Let others have the smiles and fun, Help others get their labors done, Ready to comfort any one! Queer, isn’t it, how mothers are? , how mothers are? an unseen Queer, isn’t How, when there came treat— A chance to gc somewhere and meet Some clever folk; a front-row seat To see some splendid, world-famed star— How mother simply shook her head, Pretending not to care, and said, “No, darling; please—you go instead.’’ Queer, isn’t it, how mothers are? Queer, isn’t it, how mothers are? Not caring as to what they wear, Although they are so fair, so fair. But how they work, and how they care, And bring some little jeweled bar For daughter’s hair! How long they'll sew To make her dress ‘‘just right, you know,”” And fit it, then, with eyes aglow! Queer, isn’t it, how mothers are? Queer, isn’t it, how mothers are? How they will soothe and nurse and pet! How sweet they make it to forget! How they can smooth each little fret, Bach ugly little care and jar! How, in whatever thing they do, The heart of them shines out anew, Forgetting ‘‘I’’ and thinking ‘‘You’’! Queer, isn’t it, how mothers are? —Miriam Teichner, in Detroit News. Hard To Suit.—The warden was sym- pathetic. “If you wish,” he said to the new con vict, ‘‘you may choose your own occupa- tion while here.’” No. 777 grinned. “TI ain't particular,’’ he replied, ‘‘as long as it’s some kind of outside work.’’ —Youngstown Telegram. Only a Snake Story.—Simp—I see by the paper that a Chicago zoo keeper says the price of trained pythons has advanced five dollars a foot. Gimp—Aw, that’s only akfd! Pythons don’t have feet.—Springfield Union. “*A Marriage in Thebes’ To tue Eprtor or Jupce: tr—Reading over Jupce for March 8th, I noted Mr. Sarka’s interesting pic- ture of ‘‘A Marriage in Thebes.”” I might point out, what seems to have escaped him, that the object which the priest holds in his left hand is not a ‘*knot,’’ but the ‘Crux Ansata,’’ the Egyptian symbol of the origin and end of life. This gives the picture a much more noble significance than the mere tying of aknot. Trusting you will find space for this, Yours truly, A. S. DEAVILLE. Victoria, B. C., Canada.
