What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with humor content**, typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine. The visual cartoon at top ("Passing the Mustard") depicts a child discovering frozen milk protruding from a bottle—a joke about a new milkman's generosity compared to the previous one who "barely filled the bottle." The page contains **six short humorous anecdotes** playing on wordplay and misunderstandings: - An actor's "long runs" (stage vs. film chase scenes) - A bachelor's sudden marriage proposal motivation (winning a saddle in a raffle) - A reckless American driver misinterpreting a "Dead Slow" street sign as referring to the town itself - A man's sympathy for underdogs correlating to dog ownership The final poem, "The Universal Lack," employs populist humor—nature provides abundance for rich and poor alike, yet **nobody can find enough money**—a likely commentary on economic inequality during this period. The remainder consists of hotel and product advertisements typical of the era.

Passing, the Mustard Good Measure—When little Bennie brought the milk in off the front porch one cold morning, he found a pillar of the frozen fluid sticking up out of the neck of the bottle. “Oh, mamma,’ he cried, ‘‘I like our new milkman!’’ “Is that so? Why?’’ asked the mother. Showing her the bottle, Bennie ex- claimed, “‘Our old milkman barely filled the bot- tle, but this one heaps it up.’’—Youngs- town Telegram. Always on the Run—Hem—lIs Raven- yelp much of an actor? Haw—Nothing out of the ordinary. Hem—But he is always boasting about his long runs. Haw—That’s probably because he takes & prominent part in the chase films for a moving- picture company. — Youngstown Telegram: His Inspiration —‘‘Darling, will you marry me?’’ “This is ‘so sudden! Why, you old, confirmed bachelor, when did you ever get the idea that you ought to get mar- ried?"” “I decided it yesterday.’’ “But what decided you?”’ “I won a side saddle in a raffle."’— Cleveland Plain Dealer. Misconstrued—An American motoring through a small Scotch town was pulled up for excessive speed. “Didn't you see that notice, Slow’ inquired the policeman. “Course I did,’’ returned the Yankee; “but I thought it referred to your durned little town !"’—London Evening Standard. ‘Dead When He’s Interested—‘‘I presume you have a lot of sympathy for the ander dog.”” “Yes, ma’am; especially if I happen to own the dog.’’—Detroit Free Press. The Universal Lack There’s air enough for every one, No matter what their station; And there’s enough of rain and sun For all the whole creation. There’s blossoms sweetenin’ the breeze In May for poor and wealthy; There's song birds trillin’ in the trees For invalids and healthy. There’s stars a-shinin’ in the skies For lordly folks and lowly, And sunset pictures for the eyes Of heathen folks and holy.
