What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with brief humorous anecdotes**, not political satire. The "Stories with Smiles" section contains three short jokes: 1. **"The Military Look"** references Sir John French, actual commander of British cavalry, using him in a joke about military posture and discipline. 2. **"He Had Experience"** is a dialect humor piece playing on a German immigrant's misunderstanding—his claim to have "sold" clothing at a pawnshop (where he pawned his own overcoat) rather than a clothing store. 3. **"Profitable Discord"** depicts a Scottish bagpiper deliberately keeping his instrument broken so tourists will pay him to stop playing. The humor relies on **ethnic/national stereotypes** (German accent, Scottish frugality) typical of early 20th-century American comedy. The page is dominated by advertisements for seasickness remedy, hotels, art portfolios, and correspondence courses—standard Judge magazine content of the era.

CASSELL & COMPANY, 47 East 19th Street, New York (lo tasiness since 1848) a “ a Stories -with Smifes The Military Look.—When Sir John French was in command of the cavalry at Canterbury, he chanced one day to meet a rather slouching young recruit. “Tell me, lad,’? said the new chief of the general staff, ‘‘does this city belong to you?”” The military fledgeling saluted and blushingly replied, “*No, sir.’? “‘Never :nind,”? said French genially. “Straighten yourself up, pull yourself together, and look as though it did.’’— Chicago American, He Had Experience. —A nice, clean German lad applied at a store for a job at selling clothing. The boss liked the applicant’s looks, but doubted his ex- perience. “‘Have you ever sold clothing?” asked the employer. “*Ach, yes!’’ answered the applicant. ood! +Where did you sell clothing?” ;wanzighundert Blankstrasse.”’ “Where? I never heard of such an address.” “I solt my clothes there.” “*Why—that’s a pawnshop!"” “Vell, vere you dink I sell my overcoat —at a drug store?’’—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Profitable Discord.—While passing an old-fashioned inn in Scotland, some tour- ists were attracted by an aged bagpiper, who was tooting atrocious sounds through an instrument that was both dilapidated and squeaky. “Great Jericho, Sandy!’’ exclaimed one, in desperation. ‘*Why don’t you have your bagpipe repaired?’’ The old man ceased playing and looked up in astonishment. “Havers, mon, ye dinna understand! If ma bagpipes wor in good tune, the inn mon wadna give me two shillings tomove on."’—Exchange. And He ‘Was Unhappy. .—A school teacher said to her boys, ‘‘Now, I am going to give you each three buttons. You must think of the first as representing life, the second liberty, and the third as happi- ness, In three days I want you to pro- duce these buttons and tell me what they represent.” On the appointed day the teacher asked one of the youngest pupils for the buttons. “I ain't got ’em all,’’ he sobbed. “‘Here’s life and here’s liberty, but me mudder went and sewed happiness on me pants !"’—Newark Star. Was Very Grateful.—There was a ques- tion as to the age of a man who was slowly rambling along the street in Washington the other day, when George G. Thompson, chief clerk in the Post-office Department, said he looked to be just about as old as Uncle 'Rastus, Uncle ’Rastus, Mr. Thompson ex- plained, was employed on a farm in Vir- ginia, where there was a prize bull that Instruction University Are You ,. fares 1 Saccone tn Bente mn Read This Offer!
