What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. The dominant content includes ads for Old Overholt Rye whiskey, Hotel Earlington in New York, a ladies' leg-straightening device, and various services (press clipping bureau, custom tailoring). The page contains several short **humorous anecdotes** rather than political cartoons: a judge imposing identical fines on a revolver-firing youth regardless of aim (satirizing judicial logic); American college students singing French songs badly for a visiting French classmate (mocking American pretension); a child misreading a gondola sign advertising "children thrown in" as literal (wordplay humor); and a reference to Franklin Roosevelt observing children's humor. There is **no clear political message** or caricature. The content reflects early 20th-century American commercial culture and gentle, lighthearted social observation typical of Judge magazine's humor section.

Lofty Target—A judge in a Western town had declared that he would stop the carrying of firearms on the street. Be- fore him appeared for trial a tough youth charged with getting drunk and firing his revolver in a crowded street. “Twenty dollars and costs,"’ said the magistrate. “But, your honor,"’ interposed counsel for the prisoner, ‘‘my client did not hit anybody.”” “‘Why, you admit that he fired the gun?”’ “Yes; but he fired into the air,'’ ex- plained the lawyer. “Twenty dollars and costs,’’ repeated the judge. ‘‘He might have shot an an- gel.""—Argonaut. That Was Enough—A young Frenchman in the sophomore class of an American college was invited to a musical enter- tainment given by his classmates, where there were sung, in honor of the for- eigner, a number of French songs, and they were given in the best American French. “IT say, old man,’’ observed one of the sophomores, after the entertainment, ‘‘I suppose those French songs made you feel a little homesick, eh?"” “*No,"’ responded the Frenchman; ‘‘only sick.""—Rocky Mountain News. She Couldn’t Swim—Barbara, aged six, had enjoyed herself tremendously at the exhibition to which her mother had taken her. There was only one thing more that she wanted to do, and that was to go for a trip in one of the gondolas that floated on the artificial lake. Her mother was, therefore, very sur- prised when they arrived at the landing stage to see a look of terror come over the child’s face. “‘Why, Barbara,’’ she said, ‘‘what’s the matter? Don’t you want to go on the lake now?” “No, I do ind I won" “‘Why not, dear? You're not fright- ened, are you?”’ “Yes, I am. Look what it says up there.’” Over the pay box was a notice board, and the mother read: “Come for a trip around the lake. Ladies and gentlemen only 10 cents each. Children thrown in.'’—New York Mail. Had Willie’s Permission—At a social session in Washington the other evening the conversation turned to the quickness of the average kid in seeing the humor- ous side of a situation, when this one was recalled by Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Roosevelt: Recently a stranger debarked from a train in a small Eastern city, and, after rambling around a while, paused at a street intersection with an expression of perplexity. “Look here, boy,’’ remarked the stran- ger toa small kid who chanced to be pass- ing. ‘I want to go to the post-office.” “All right, old pal,’’ was the easy re- joinder of the youngster, as he continued on his way. ‘‘Hurry back, please.’’— Philadelphia Telegraph. ** said Barbara decidedly; In answering advertisements please mention JUDGE.
