What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and light humor content**, not political satire. ## The Advertisements The page features various business opportunity ads typical of early 20th-century magazines: a "One Minute Camera" for $12, a $60 outfit offer, and a mail-order "Sexology" book promising marital happiness through sexual knowledge. ## The Humor Content The "Anecdotal Humor" section contains four brief, gentle jokes: 1. **"Stung by the Picnic Bug"** — A cheerful poem celebrating outdoor picnics despite minor annoyances (mosquitoes, dirt, ants) 2. **Quaker vs. Worldly Parson** — A witty anecdote where a Quaker outsmarts a boastful fox-hunting clergyman, suggesting the parson would never find a fox hiding "in thy study" (implying the parson doesn't study scripture) 3. **Advertising Appeal** — An editor convinces a poet his sonnet will be widely read because it's placed next to striking advertisements 4. **Mistaken Identity** — A man angrily tells his neighbor that the neighbor killed *his* dog (not the neighbor's) with a borrowed gun These are gentle, pun-based humor pieces with no political content—typical light reading for Judge's audience.

Anecdotal Humor Stung by the Picnic Bug—Cleo C. Hardy tunes up his lyre and offers the following contribution as his credentials as the poet laureate of the picnic season: Fill up the lunch box, mother, fix up a spread that’s gay, and we'll take the kids and our oldest lids—then, ho, for a care- free day! For this is the picnic season, and I long in the woods to dine, where the skies are blue and the forks are few —yes, a picnic lunch for mine! Oh, I'll never knock on the fishing, though I get not a measly bite, and I won’t complain of the sunburn’s pain, for it’s fine for the appetite! Of course there will be mosquitoes, and the pie may attract the ants; the pepper you eat on your scram- bled meat may be dirt—it’s an even chance. But what if the jelly does get spilled all over the pickled tongue? It’s great to be in the wildwood free—it’s the way to feel gay and young. So fill up the lunch box, mother, with olives and eggs and ham—for the picnic bee has stung me. Am I going? You bet I am!— Kansas City Journal. Hard Blow by a Quaker—Bishop Chand- ler, of Atlanta, apropos of worldly par- sons, said the other day, There was a worldty parson of this type in Philadelphia—a great fox hunter —whom a Spruce Street Quaker took in hand. Friend,’ said the Quaker, ‘I under- stand thee’s clever at fox catching.’ “'T have few equals and no superiors at that sport,’ the parson complacently replied. ‘**Nevertheless, friend,’ said the Quaker, ‘if I were a fox, I would hide where thee would never find me.’ Where would you hide?’ asked the parson, with a frown. ‘«*Friend,’ said the Quaker, ‘I would hide in thy study.’""—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. The Attraction—Advertising is such an art, says a publicity expert in the Wash- ington Star, that many people actually bay periodicals as much for the adver- tisements as for the reading matter. “T sat in an editor's office the other day when a entered. “Glad to see you've accepted that sonnet of mine,’ the poet said, feverishly pushing back his long hair. ‘I hope it will be widely read.’ ‘**It's sure to be,’ said theeditor. ‘It’s sure to be. I’ve placed it next to one of our most striking ads.’ ’” Cause for Anger—Mr. Wilkins was near the exploding point when his neighbor met him on the street. “That man Tompkins,’’ he burst out, “hag more nerve than any one I ever “Why?” asked his neighbor curiously. “*He came over to my house last even- ing and borrowed my gun to kill a dog that kept him awake nights.’" **Well, what of that?’’ ‘‘Why,’’ shouted Mr. Wilkins, ‘‘it was my dog he killed!"’—Ladies’ Home Jour- nal. Hard To Tell—‘‘There were a lot of old shoes on the street when I went out this morning."’ ‘Wedding or a cat fight, do you suppose?’’—Boston Transcript. The Doctor’s Mixture .
