What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and miscellaneous content**, not political satire. The main piece is "Potpourri: Not Always Just," a philosophical poem by Strickland Gillilan questioning sentimental sympathy for underdogs. The author argues people deserve consequences for their own foolish actions—citing someone who sawed off a tree branch they were sitting on. He dismisses excessive pity, insisting people learn through hard experience rather than sentiment. The accompanying anecdote about a woman at a racetrack whose horse ran backward humorously illustrates this theme: she made a poor bet and lost, and that's simply how one learns. The page otherwise contains hotel advertisements (Powhatan, Earlington, Imperial), tailoring services, and magazine promotions—typical Judge magazine filler. There are **no identifiable political figures or cartoons** to analyze; this appears to be a regular content/advertising page rather than satirical material.

Terms, Henry Rowerxe, 106-110 Seventh | Potpourri Not Always Just This ‘‘under dog’’ stuff that I once ad- mired Has ad begun, somehow, to make me tired. The fact that some chap got it in the neck Now fails to stir my sympathies a speck, Until I get a little better line On what the chap’s deserts were. Tears of mine . No longer flow for any man because He got a swat. Instead, I calmly pause And ask, ‘Well, did he get what he de- served? From out the straight and narrow had he “swerved?” The gink who saws a tree limb off between Him and the trunk is addled in the bean And should be handed over, if he live, To some large institution where they give Rooms with upholstered walls to such as that Whose belfry scarce would hold another bat. Whenever we forget the jittle rules That govern this old universe—well, fools Can learn in but one way—experience! The cost is in proportion as they’re dense. Full half the time, I verily believe, We miss the mark and foozle when we grieve About this nether cur of which we read So many tender, heart-disturbing screed. It’s tough, of course, to get it where Lucile Festoons her beads, and we can’t help but eel Sorry the fellow used no better wit Than to amputate the limb on which he’d sit. But if that’s all the way that he can learn, Why should my heart in anguish bleed and burn? —Strickland Gillilan, in Indianapolis Star. Played Both Ways—Down at a South- ern race course, which I shall designate no more than to say that it’s a place where you lose your money in the winter- time, I took a young lady out to the track, and she insisted on placing a bet on a horse. She wouldn’t even let me help her do it. The horse did worse than to come in last. He turned around and ran the other way. I said, “Well, you lose your bet. The horse you had your money on is running the wrong way!’’ She gurgled with satisfied glee. “Shows that a woman’s instinct can’t go wrong,’’ she answered, triumphantly. “L played him both ways!’’—Cleveland Plain Dealer, The Ging-Ging-Goophus Says: Some men think that when they lug a hod of coal from the cellar, they are do- ing nine-tenths of the housework. It makes a man feel good after he is dead to have the crowd that was knock- ing him all his life tell what a good fel- low he was.—Springfield Union. Three Kinds—There are three kinds of men who don’t know anything about women. They are old men, young men and middle-aged men.—Brooklyn Eagle.
