What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and light content** rather than political satire. The dominant elements are: **Advertisements** occupy most space: Harper's Whiskey, Cortez Cigars, Hotel Puritan, diamonds-on-credit schemes, and a correspondence course for aspiring cartoonists (the "Zim Book"). **The main editorial content** is a poem, "Enjoying the Farmer," by Edgar A. Guest, expressing nostalgic ambivalence about rural life—appreciating autumn harvests while glad to avoid the hard labor of summer farming. **"Wit and Wisdom of Children"** presents anecdotes about children's innocent but humorous misinterpretations of morality and prayer, typical humor for the era. There is **no identifiable political cartoon or social satire** on this page. Judge here functions as a general-interest humor and advertising magazine rather than delivering pointed political commentary. The content reflects early 20th-century middle-class sensibilities about work, nature, and childhood.

Address ZIM BOOK 1149 Brunswick Building New York Enjoying the Farmer In August, when the world’s on fire And when the sun comes scorching down, When cattle seem to quickly tire And all the fields are blistered brown, . [ watch the farmer mop his brow And gee-haw to the horse again; But, as he follows up his plow, I'm glad I’m not a farmer then. In August, when no touch of breeze Comes from the west to cool the day, And when the locusts in the trees Drone in their heat-foretelling way, I watch him toiling in the sun, Out there with not a bit of shade, Then farming I am sure’s no fun And I am glad it’s not my trade. But now, when rich with color lies Each field and meadow where he strays, Beneath these splendid autumn skies, With him I'd like to spend my days. I see the sumach glowing red, The maples bronzed and burnished fine; I see him toiling bare of head, And wish the farmer’s lot were mine. When filled to bursting is each bin, The fodder shocked, the pumpkins ripe, The harvests all, or nearly, in Out there, I'd like to fill my pipe, Away frum all the city strife, ‘ And call the dog and take my gun. I'd like the farmer’s autumn life, Especially if the work’s all done. ~Edgar A. Guest, in Detroit Free Press. Wit and Wisdom of Children (From newspapers and magazines 2% years ago.) She had done something‘naughty, and her mother had sent her off to bed a lit- tle earlier than usual and told her she would punish her for it in the morning. The child knelt down to say her prayers, and she put in this interpolation: ‘‘Please, God, won’t you take mamma up to heaven, not for altogether, but just for io-mor- row?’'—San Francisco Chronicle. The little boy was on his knees in his little night dress saying his prayers, and his little sister couldn’t resist the temp- tation to tickle the soles of his little feet. He stood it as long as he could, and then he said, ‘‘Please, God, excuse me while I knock the stuffing out of Nellie.’’—Phila- delphia Item, “‘Ma,”’ said Bobby, ‘‘is it wrong for little boys to tie tin kettles to dogs’ tails?” “Decidedly wrong, Bobby. I hope you'll never do such a thing as that."” “No, indeed, ma,’’ replied Bobby. “All Ido is to hold the dog.""—Harper’s | Bazar. A thoughtful child living near Albany was recently given permission to hold a party for some of her friends and enjoyed the occasion with extraordinary zest. At its close she went to the place where she kept her little savings bank, and, taking it to her mother with a beaming face, said, ‘‘Mamma, I have had such a very, very delightful time and enjoyed my party so much that I want you to take twenty-five cents out of my bank and give it to the missionary fund.""—Albany Argus.
