What you’re looking at

This page is primarily advertising and short humorous anecdotes rather than political satire. The "Stories With Smiles" section contains three brief jokes: one about a songwriter penning absurdly contradictory lyrics ("She hit me with a fence rail, but I love her"), and two anecdotes about detectives swapping stories about counterfeit money mishaps—one involves a detective's wife accidentally spending fake currency he'd confiscated, the other about officers who lost counterfeit evidence by spending it themselves before trial. These are gentle domestic humor and workplace comedy with no apparent political content. The page also includes advertisements for pianos, gems, cigars, and Leslie's Weekly magazine. A brief mention notes Judge magazine's recent "Smokers' Number" issue, but provides no satirical commentary beyond acknowledging its publication.

It is as follows: “**She hit me with a fence rail, but I love her just the same.’ '’—Washington Star. Sleuths Swap Yarns—Bert Cowdrey, a Chicago detective, met Captain Tom Halls, of the secret service, during the prison congress, They talked of mutual friends, and Captain Halls reached into his wallet foracard. Cowdrey spied a counterfeit note Halls had captured. “Raised, was it?’’ Cowdrey asked. “Yes, from two to ten,’’ Halls an- swered, meaning that the bill had been raised from a $2 banknote to $10, “That reminds me of a funny thing that happened to me not long ago,’’ Cow- drey related. ‘‘I had pinched a bill raiser and had one of his bills in my pocket. My wife needed some money and went into my pockets the next morning. She got the bill, went down to a department store, spent it, and then came home and told me about it. Well, just imagine how I felt. I chased down to the store, but the bad bill had been passed on to some one else and I never heard of it again.’” “Something like a couple of officers from southern Indiana,’”’ Captain Halls broke in. ‘They had arrested a counter- feiter, and when his case came up for trial they were summoned as witnesses. When the district attorney asked them to produce their evidence, one of the officers fumbled in his pockets nervously, blushed and looked like a sad sheep. ‘**Didn’t you bring the bad money with you?’ the district attorney inquired. “*Yes, sir,’ the officer replied; ‘but we missed connection at Terre Haute, and I —I guess we spent it.’’—Jndianapolis News, Judge’s Smokers’ Number The United Shield, the house organ of the United Cigar Stores Company, edited by C. R. Sherlock, who for years was a very able newspaper man, in a recent number said: ‘‘A notable recognition of the smokers of the country was the re- cent publication by Jupce of a ‘Smoke number.’ JupGE, everybody knows, pokes fun at all kinds of things, including even death and taxes, which are generally con- ceded to be the most serious incidentals of this weary life. The ‘Smoke number’ of Jupce was as lively an issue as so fine a subject justified. Its contents were noteworthy, however, in one thing, name- ly, in its avoidance of the old temptation to crack jokes at the expense of women who buy cigars for their husbands, brothers or sweethearts. We are inclined to think that that was the original whimsy in the literature of fun.’” good for over a century. Old Overholt Rye “Same for 100 Yean™ kies because of its age, fame and superior flavor.
