What you’re looking at
This page consists primarily of **short humor pieces and advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The content reflects early 20th-century American life and concerns: **The Jokes:** - "Passing the Mustard": A traveler asks directions; the local refuses because the hotel is so bad the local fears being called a liar - "For Art's Sake": A neighbor's concern about wife-beating is dismissed because the couple is filming for a moving picture - "The Fault Finder": A boss who nitpicks constantly - Various other brief anecdotes about everyday frustrations **Social Context:** These pieces mock workplace dynamics, domestic relations, and small urban irritations. The moving-picture reference shows early cinema's growing presence. The "cabaret" joke satirizes restaurants charging for turkey hash without actual turkey—food quality deception was apparently a common complaint. **Advertisements:** The page features luxury cruise lines, diamonds, hotels, and a "show card writing" course—typical consumer goods targeting Judge's middle-class readership. No significant political satire is evident; this appears to be a humor and lifestyle magazine page.

Passing the Mustard ing Off—‘‘Can you direct me to the best Betel in this town?"’ asked the stran- ger who, after sadly watching the train depart, had set his satchel upon the sta- tion platform. “T can," replied the man who was waiting for a train going the other way; “but I hate to do it.’” “why?” “Because you will think after you've seen it that I’m a liar.’’—Chicago Record- Herald. For Art’s Sake—‘‘Have you heard about the awful thing Mr. Jobson did this morn- ing? Several of the neighbors saw him dragging his wife around in the back yard by her hair. Don’t you think the author- ities ought to do something about it?”’ “Why should the authorities interfere? Haven't you heard that Jobson and his wife are working for a moving-picture- film concern?’’—Chicago Record-Herald, The Fault Finder— The tall blonde seemed to be disgusted. “What's the matter, Mamie?"’ asked her friend, the short brunette. “That boss of mine is the limit,’’ the tall blonde complained. ‘‘He just can’t be satisfied.’” “Pick fault, does he?’’ “Pick fault? Why, if I should operate my typewriter so fast that it sent upa tbue cloud, he’d be sure to accuse me of smoking cigarettes.’’—Youngstown Tele- gram. What She Did—Mrs. Exe—While I was going down town on the car this morning, the conductor came along and looked at me as if I had not paid my fare. Mr. Exe—Well, what did you do? Mrs. Exe—I looked at him as if I had. —Boston Transcript. Another Saga—As for folk songs, the following was brought home from school by the eight-year-old daughter of a sub- urbanite: I should worry, I should care, I should marry a millionaire. If he should die, I should ery; I should marry another guy. —New York Post. Great Luck—Ralph—Miss Wose, some- times I think Bertie has a chawmed life. Miss Wose—Why? Ralph—Whenever he goes after a posi- tion, he finds it has been taken.—Kansas City Star Cabaret You get a lot of turket trot Upon the bill of fare. You pay the cash for turkey hash, But get no turkey there. —Boston Daily Advertiser.
