What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, featuring vintage product endorsements typical of early 20th-century magazines: Beeman's Pepsin Gum, Evans' Ale, Hunter Whiskey, and other goods. The satirical content appears in the right column under "Stories With Smiles"—short humorous anecdotes rather than political cartoons: 1. **"Had Been Strictly Fresh"**: A grocer's customer discovers eggs sold as "fresh" were actually six weeks old, purchased secondhand from another source. The joke satirizes dishonest retail practices and false advertising. 2. **"Literary Preference"**: A society caller asks a hostess which book she finds most helpful; the hostess replies "Webster's Dictionary"—because her baby sits on it. This mocks pretentious literary discussion while poking fun at how people use books practically rather than intellectually. 3. **"Asked Too Much"**: Partially visible, appears to involve a father and suitor. These are mild social satires about everyday hypocrisy and absurdity, not political commentary. The page reflects Judge's lighter humor section.

Mrs. Smith, according to the narra- tive of the senator, was very fond of reading, and while on a visit to Mrs, Brown one afternoon she started a book talk with a view to discovering what particular work her hostess liked best. **You have quite a number of books, I see,’’ remarked the visitor, glancing around the room. ‘Which do you think is the most helpful to you?” “‘Webster’s Dictionary, without a doubt,’’ was the prompt response of Mrs, Brown. “You don’t really mean it!"’ exclaimed the visitor, assuming for some reason a look of surprise. ‘May I ask in what particular way?"’ “‘Certainly,”’ was the obliging reply of the hostess. ‘‘The baby sits on it at the ind it saves the price of a high — Philadephia Telegraph.
