What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and light humor** rather than political satire. The main content includes: **"Stories with Smiles"** section: Three short, gentle jokes typical of early 20th-century humor magazines. The first involves Jake Adams, a farmhand who chooses a doctor based on betting odds listed on office doors ("eight to five" versus "ten to one"), misunderstanding medical confidence ratings as gambling odds. The jokes are wholesome, apolitical anecdotes. **Advertisements** dominate the page: watch fobs, Cuban cigars, hotel rooms, gemstones, and La Follette's Weekly magazine (a progressive publication). These ads reflect contemporary consumer goods and services. **Notable**: One ad references "Senator Benjamin T. Shively, of Indiana," a real historical figure, lending credibility to the anecdote, though the story itself has no political content. The page contains **no clear political cartoons or satire**—it's primarily a mixture of advertising revenue and light entertainment content typical of Judge magazine's commercial function.

WARFIELD, - : ys Stories with Smiles Had a Better Look—They were talking about the medical fraternity at a recent social affair, when Senator Benjamin T. Shively, of Indiana, recalled the case of Jake Adams, the farmhand. One day Jake, who was new to the com- munity, was taken jll, and his employer sent him with a note to the family doctor in town. On the following morning the patient returned to the farm considerably improved. “You are looking a whole lot better, Jake,’ remarked the boss. ‘‘Did you have any trouble finding the doctor?” “No; his name was on the door,’’ an- swered Jake. ‘‘But I didn’t go to the one you sent me to. “You didn’t!’ wonderingly responded the farmer. ‘Why not?’’ “‘Because,’’ replied Jake, ‘‘under his name on the door it said ten to one, while under the name of the other doctor was eight to five.” “Well, what in the world has that got to do with it?’’ demanded the puzzled farmer. “Everything,” answered Jake. ‘‘Eight to five is a whole lot better chances than ten to one, ain’t it?’’—Philadelphia Tele- graph. Envy—‘‘The truly modest girl doesn’t stand any chance!’’ “*What’s hurting now?”” “Twas thinking about Jack Nicefello marrying Imogene.”” “What's the matter with Imogene?” “One night, when they hadn't been acquainted long, I heard him ask her if she would scream if he kissed her.’’ “Of course she said she would.”” “Not she! She said she'd scream if he didn't !"’—Houston Post. Too Ciear a Case—‘‘ When did your hus- band begin treating you cruelly?” asked her lawyer. “Tt was about a year ago,’’ pretty petitioner. “What happened?”” “We were on our way to New York.”’ “Yes. Did he strike you?”’ “No. Lasked him to get a drawing- room, so that I would not have to dress in my berth.” “And he refused?” “Yes. He said his mother had never occupied a drawing-room in a sleeping- car, and he didn’t consider me any better than his mother.’’ “Was that the only time he ever was cruel to you?” “No. After I had bought my fall clothes last year, they were so fine that I couldn’t ride in a public conveyance with- out ruining them; and when I explained to him that he would have to buy an auto to save my clothes, he told me to go ahead and ruin the clothes and get the kind that could be worn in street cars next time.’” “It will be useless to go on with this case,’’ the judge interposed. ‘‘There is no doubt that the man is absolutely heart- less,’’—Chicago Record-Herald. replied the Cuban Special Cigars.
