What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine contains several short humorous anecdotes and advertisements, typical of early 20th-century satirical publications. The main cartoons/stories are brief, joke-based pieces: 1. **"Teaching the Editor a Lesson"** – A rural woman (identified by dialect) complains to a newspaper editor that he gives prominent coverage to babies born to wealthy families but ignores those born to poor families. She cancels her subscription to protest the class bias. The satire critiques newspapers' social prejudice and favoritism toward the rich. 2. **"Sarcastic Cabby"** – A taxi driver asks an extremely overweight passenger to step back several yards, claiming he doesn't want his horse to see the size of the load. It's a blunt joke about obesity. 3. **"Satisfied"** – A poor man claims he deliberately spent his earnings rather than save them, to avoid developing greed. The satire mocks rationalization of financial irresponsibility. The remainder is mostly **advertising** for Schlitz beer and hotels, using period marketing language about purity and filtration.

She waited for no cere- », but wildly asked, s this the printin’ office?’’ , madam."” “T want to stop my paper.’” “All right, madam.”” “Stop it right a “It’s stopped,’’ we replied, making a blue line through her husband’s name on the subscription list. “Mebbe that will learn you some hoss sense and how to do the square thing next time, and not to slight people just be- cause they are poor. If some rich, stuck- up folks happen to have a bald-headed brat born to 'em, you're in an awful hurry to put it in the paper and make it out an angel; but when poor people have a baby, you can’t say a word about it, even if it is the purtiest child borned. That's what I'm stoppin’ the paper fur. This ort to be a lesson to every paper in Oklahoma.” And she went out of the office as mad as a wet hen.—Kaw City (Okla.) Tribune. Sarcastic Cabby—‘‘Speaking of consid- eration for dumb animals,’’ said Con- gressman John Lawson Burnett, of Ala- bama, in the lobby of a Washington hotel the other day, ‘‘I am reminded of a little incident that happened in a town down along the Jersey shore. “One afternoon a man almost fat enough to weigh a ton debarked from a train and asked a cabby to drive him to a certain hotel. Reaching the hostelry, the fat man handed the cabby the exact fare and started for the door. ‘Just a moment, please,’ interposed the cabby, looking first at the coin in his hand and then at the man. ‘Would you mind stepping back the other way a few yards?" “What for?’ wonderingly queried the portly passenger. “*On account of the horse,’ answered the cabby, with a grin of satisfaction. ‘Idon’t want him to see the size of the load he has been dragging all over the town for twenty-five cents.’ "’—Exchange. Satisfied—‘‘I used to make fifteen thou- sand dollars a year,’’ said the man who was ragged and unshorn. “Weill, I suppose you are busy reeeet ting now that you didn’t save some of it?” “Oh, no! If I'd done that, I'd ’a’ prob- ably got the hankerin’ for more and more, and by this time I might have been lined up with the fellows that'll have to pay big income taxes.’?— Chicago Record- Herald. A Temporary Coolness—'‘The duke is angry with me,’’ said his wife, the heiress, “Seriously ?"” “Oh, very! He has refused to borrow any money from me for more than a week.""—Louisville Courier-Journal. Sliced Oranges with a dash of Abbott's Bitters SpPetizing and healthful. Sample of bitters by eta. instamps. C. W. Abbott & Co., Baltimore, | ure Beer Will Not make You Bilious We go to Bohemia for hops; one of our partners selects the barley; water is brought from rock 1400 feet under the ground. Not only is Schlitz—every drop of it—filtered through white wood pulp, but even the air in which it is cooled is filtered. Before it is offered to you it is aged for months in glass enameled tanks. It will not, it cannot cause biliousness. It will not ferment in your stomach. Light starts decay even in pure beer. Dark glass gives the best protection against light. The Brown Bottle protects Schlitz f purity from the brewery to your glass. More and more people every year are demanding Schlitz, Why don’t you demand this pure beer? See that crown or cork is branded ““Schlite.”?
