This page is primarily **advertising with humor content**, typical of Judge magazine's format. The main satirical content is "Stories with Smiles," two brief humorous anecdotes: 1. **"Classifying Him"**: A father-son golf conversation where the boy asks progressively better golf distances, each time the father rates the golfer higher—until the boy suggests 325 yards, when the father concludes he's "probably a liar." The joke mocks exaggeration in golf boasting and the absurdity of claiming superhuman athletic feats. 2. **"Father and Son"**: A Scottish immigrant story about a drunken father locked out of his son's store. The father's indignant response—that he comes from "a better family"—is the punchline, mocking Scottish pride and the irony of his inebriation undercutting his claim to respectability. Both jokes reflect early 20th-century American humor: gentle mockery of social pretension, immigrant stereotypes (Scots in particular), and the gap between aspiration and reality. The surrounding advertisements (whiskey, hair tonic, hotels) are period-standard.

Stories with Siifes Classifying Him—‘‘Pop,’’ said the son, who had caddied one afternoon at one of the golf clubs, ‘tis a man a pretty good golfer if he knocks the ball one hundred aad twenty-five yards?” “Just a novice, my son.’” “Well, if he knocks a ball one hundred and seventy-five yards, is he pretty good?” “Yes, pretty good, son.’? “Well, pop, what if he knocks the ball two hundred and fifty yards?” “Mighty good! He's mighty good if he can do that, my boy. “Well, pop, what if he knocks it two hundred and seventy-five yards?’’ “He's awful, awful good, Tommy,”’ re- plied pop, as he once more fastened his eye on the story of the Indians’ downfall. “Well, pop, what if he knocked the ball three hundred and twenty-five yards —what would he be then?” “Probably a liar, son. Now, you had better run up and kiss mamma and go to bed.’’—Indianapolis News. WHITE VALLEY GEM zamination— all charges pre joney ret canted if net satisfactory. Ww £ WHITE V.

WARFIELD, - - Manager Without the Frills—Her wedded days had not yet run into months, and her am- bition was to become a model housekeeper, although she was so young and so very inexperienced. Her husband had had oc- casion to criticise the butter sent them by their grocer; therefore, determined to remedy this fault, she started, brave and eager, to discover some of a better quality. @ So, ‘What is the price of your butter?” she asked severely of the man whose store she had briskly entered. “‘Butterine, thirty cents; dairy, thirty- five,’’ rattled off the storekeeper; ‘‘fancy, thirty-eight; creamery, forty, and table, forty-five” She gasped, gazing blankly at the row of tubs, to each of which he had pointed in turn, “*Haven’t you any plain churned but- ter?’? she inquired helplessly; ‘‘or, I might say, churnery butter?’’ she added, her old spirit reasserting itself.—Wom- an’s Home Companion, Father and Son—In a little Canadian town near Toronto, where the population is half Scotch, Johnnie Walker runs the general store. Hugh Walker, his father, an eccentric old Kiltie, is fond of a wee drappie and on occasions has been known to indulge in a wee drappie tae muckle. On one of these occasions he found him- self denied admittance to the store, nor could all his pleadings soften Johnnie’s heart. It took some time for the situa- tion to sink into him, but finally con- vinced that his ain kith and kin would have nane o’ him, he turned away with tears in his eyes. “It’s an ootrage!’’ he expostulated, shaking his fist. ‘‘Ye ken Johnnie Walk- er! He’s ma ain son, but I'll show him I come frae a better family than ever he came frae !’’—Chicago Inter-Ocean, GREAT BEAL SPRING WATER. “Its Purity Has Made It Famous.” bes Gar ones of © xinm stoppered bouiben tii) In answering advertisements please mention JUDGE.
