What you’re looking at

This page contains multiple unrelated elements typical of Judge's format: **"Stories with Smiles"** section: Three brief humorous anecdotes about everyday situations—a Black defendant offering to trade a lawyer for a witness (playing on the stereotype that he lacks eloquence), a geography student's literal definition of "temperate zone" (confusing temperature with temperament), and a tongue-twister about Bill's billboard and board bill. **Main Advertisement**: A Schlitz beer ad explaining that "skunky taste" in beer results from light exposure during storage/transport. The ad emphasizes Schlitz's use of brown bottles to protect beer quality and positions this as superior to competitors. This was a legitimate technical concern in beer distribution before modern refrigeration. **Other Advertisements**: Hotel Van Rensselaer lodging, writing songs opportunity, and other services fill remaining space. The page reflects early 20th-century advertising and humor conventions, with racial stereotypes presented matter-of-factly in the anecdotes section.

Stories ‘with Smifes One for Exchange—Sam had been appre- pended by the sheriff for chicken steal- ing. Being without fands, he bided his geeustomed time in the calaboose until the day of the trial. Still without funds, he was also sans counsel, Witnesses, also, he had none; of character witnesses there was total lack, for any one who testified to Sam’s probity forthwith Te- moved himself from the category of wit- nesses—that is, from the category of those who knew anything about the facts. Of this Sam was well aware. “Sam Jackson, you are in custody ‘of the law,"’ announced the judge. ‘‘The State provides counsel for those who lack it, I hereby appoint these two gentle- men present in court to defend you. Have you anything to say?"* Sam's face brightened at the judge's i mae al EE Ee 8 ’ honah!’’ he ex- daimed delightedly; and then, with an engaging grin, ‘* suh, yo’ honah; bat, ef it ain't crowdin’ the law, cain’t I swap off one of dem lawyers for a wit- ness?”—New York Evening Post. ‘wo lawyers, y One or the Other—One kid story leads on toanother. A Cleveland school teacher —one who has at several periods in the gweet-scented past favored us with anec- dotes about her pupils—sends us an a count of a quiz conducted in her geog- raphy class. “In what zone do we live?” asked this teacher. “The temp’rut zone!’’ chanted drilled class, “Right. And what do we mean by ‘temperate’? Willie, you may answer.” “Temp’rut is where it’s freezin’ cold half the time an’ roastin’ hot the other half the time.” If Willie wasn't sent to the head for that, it wasn’t because he didn’t deserve the honor.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. the Bill's Board Bill—Another one has started and promises to become a worthy successor to ‘‘How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?’? Many heretical versions of the new teaser are at large, but the true form is as follows and must be strictly adhered to by the faithful: Bill had a billboard and Bill had a board bill, and Bill's board bill bored Bill till Bill sold Bill's billboard to pay Bill’s board bill, and then Bill's board bill no longer bored Bill. —New York Tribune, Family Party—‘‘I understand her hus- band is a baseball umpire."” “Yes. And it’s great for her people.” Suppose they get passes to all the it isn’t that. But every time they haven't anything else to do, one of her relatives says, ‘Let’s go out to the ball park this afternoon and roast Kitty's husband.’ "'—Detroit Free Press. is caused by the action of. Light “Beer acted upon by light soon takes up the very disagreeable so- called ‘light taste,’ and also a repulsive skunk-like odor. Beer so af- tected is offensive to the palate of most consumers, and there is prob- ably nothing that will influence them more against any brand of bottled beer than to have once tasted beer possessing this ‘light taste’ to a marked degree. The presence of this defect, however, is not always the bottler’s fault, as the consumer himself very often lets the beer stand in the light. But the consequences must usually be borne by the bottle: Fxtract from the “The Berr Bo:tlers’ Handy Book,” publ shed by the Wahl-Henius Insti- tute of Fermentolegy.
