What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and humorous anecdotes** rather than political cartoons. The content reflects early 20th-century American consumer culture and gender dynamics. **Key sections:** 1. **"We Give You a Suit"** - A mail-order tailoring scheme targeting men seeking easy money through door-to-door sales, promising wealth while wearing sample suits. 2. **"Stories with Smiles"** - Humorous anecdotes mocking domestic life, particularly husbands' poor excuses. The "Where Father Fell Down" story depicts a husband caught coming home late, caught in his own lie about rocking the baby. 3. **"Sexology" advertisement** - A book promising comprehensive sex education, suggesting contemporary anxiety about proper knowledge of "self and sex." 4. **"Be An Artist"** - A how-to book by cartoonist Eugene Zimmerman offering get-rich-quick schemes. The overall tone satirizes American consumerism and male behavior—husbands as bumbling fools, snake-oil business schemes, and earnest self-improvement promises. The page reflects Judge's satirical approach to contemporary social concerns.

New York Stories with Smiles Where Father Fell Down—They were speaking of the foxiness of father the other night, when Robert Metcalf, the new civil governor of the Canal Zone, told of the bad break made by the es- teemed Jones, Jones lives in one of the big Eastern cities, so related Mr. Metcalf, and, like many another thoughtless husband, fre- quently returns to his happy home rather late at night. Naturally wifey remon- strates, and then some argument. One night Jones was later than usual, and, holding shoes in one hand and his palpitating heart in the other, he sneak- fully climbed the family stairs; but, just as he entered the room, wifey awoke. Quickly sitting beside the baby’s cradle, he started to rock it vigorously. Happy thought! “Why, John,’’ exclaimed wifey, gaz- ing at the bluffsome sinner, ‘‘it is after two o'clock! What are you doing out there?”’ “Tam trying to get the baby to sleep,”’ answered John, still rocking to beat the band. ‘‘I have been working with him for more than an hour.”” “Ig that so?’’ responded little wifey, in cold, hard tones. ‘‘Well, the baby is in bed here with me, and has been the whole evening." —Fhvacsiphic Tele- graph. Some Optimist—Reference was made to the optimism of a certain party in the lobby of a Washington hotel the other night, when Congressman Willis C. Haw- ley, of Oregon, broadly smiled and said the party in question would have to go some to beat the record of Jim Jones. Jim Jones, so related the congressman, lives in an Eastern suburban town. Some time ago a friend, in passing Jim’s house, noticed a hole in the ground and a pile of bricks close by. He wondered, but there was nobody at hand to explain. Further down the street he met another friend of Jim’: “Say, Jake," queried the first, “what in the deuce is going on down at Jim's? His place is mussed up like a building operation !"" “‘That’s what's coming off,’’ answered Jake. ‘He is building a garage.”” “Building a garage?’’ wonderingly ex- claimed the other. ‘‘What for? He hasn’t got an automobile, has he?” No,’’ replied Jake; ‘‘but he was walking along the street the other day and found a raffle ticket for one that is to be chanced off.’’—Exchange. A Sure Enough Commandment—A teacher in a big elementary school had given les- sons to an infants’ class on the Ten Com- mandments. In order to test their mem- ories, she asked, “Can any little child give me a com- mandment with only four words in it?” A hand was raised immediately. “Weil,’’ said the teacher. “Keep off the grass,’’ was the revly. —Pittsburgh Chronicie- Telegraph. y Scientifically Distilled ‘ from choicest grain—aged un- til every drop is a pearl of | liquid perfection.
