This is primarily an **advertising page** from Judge magazine, with a small humor section ("Stories with Smiles"). The page contains period product ads (cordial liqueur, pianos, ginger ale, rupture supports, art supplies, and gemstones) typical of early 20th-century publications. The humor section features short jokes using racial stereotypes prevalent in that era—specifically caricatured Black dialect ("darkies," "'Lor' bress you' heart!"). One joke plays on Biblical knowledge; another on absent-mindedness involving a U.S. Senator and Attorney-General Wickersham. These jokes are framed as light entertainment meant for educated readers. The ads themselves offer self-improvement materials (art lessons) and medical devices alongside luxury goods, reflecting the era's marketing approach to middle and upper-class audiences. The page provides insight into advertising practices and humor standards of the period, though modern readers would recognize the racial characterizations as offensive stereotypes rather than amusing content.

One of them asserted that, as Palestine was about in a line with Africa, the people must all have been colored. ‘Lor’ bress you’ heart!’’ said the speaker, ‘St. Peter an’ St. Paul an’ the rest of the apostles was as white as that North’n gen'‘I’man ober dere.’” “No, sah!’’ said the man in opposi- tion. ‘Paul may ha’ been, but St. Peter —no, sah! St, Peter was a culler'd gen'l’man."” “You're wrong; for if St. Peter'd been color’d, dat cock wouldn’t ha’ crowed more’'n once’t.’’—Charlotte Ob- server. His Absentmindedness.—In a Washing- ton club some time since a member of the Senate started to light a cigar, but became so engrossed in some other thought that he forgot the burning match in his hand until the flame reached his fingers. Whereat Attorney-General Wickersham smiled, **A case of absentmindedness,’’ he re- marked, ‘‘that reminds me of the experi- enceof acertain professor. One evening, ‘on returning home to dinner, the professor was met at the door by his wife, who led him into the house with a reproving glance. “Do you know, John,’ said she, just a little poutfully, ‘that you went away this morning without kissing me good-by?” ***You don’t really mean it?’ returned the professor. ‘You must be mistaken.’ “Oh, no, I’m not!’ declared the good lady. ‘Not a single kiss did you give me!’ “Tg that 80?’ responded the professor, with a thoughtful expression. ‘Then whom in the deuce did I kiss?’ ’—Phila- delphia Telegraph. A Poser!—It had not been a good year for apples, and Adam expected to do pretty wedl with those that he had picked from his orchard. When he got back from work in the evening, Eve, his wife, said to him, “Mr. Green, of Pudley, has been in, and he says he will give you fifty-two cents a bushel for those five bushels of cookers."* “Will he?’? said Mr. Smith. “No, thank you. I shall do better than that. Sure enough, next day he sold a third of the apples at sixty cents a bushel. But after that his luck went wrong. Days passed, and there was no further bid. A quarter of a bushel of apples went bad and had to be thrown away. Adam was very glad to take forty-eight cents a bushel for the remainder. “*You’d have done better to have taken Mr. Green's offer,’’ said Eve. ~ ‘But you never would listen to advice.'’ “Shouldn't have done so well,”’ growled Adam. Which of them was right ?—The Strand. In answering advertisements please mention JUDGE. It will be appreciated. comicbooks.com
