What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and humor anecdotes** rather than political satire. The main content includes: **Advertisements:** - Cook's Champagne (American Wine Co.) - Indestructo Baggage (trunks) - "The Science of a New Life" marriage manual - Club Cocktails **Humorous Stories:** Four brief anecdotes occupy the center column: 1. A young man pretending to have read "Romeo and Juliet" admits he only read "Romeo" 2. A Scottish highlander (Jock) returns from London claiming Londoners are dishonest—he bought pins labeled "1000" but counted only 993 3. A woman contorting her face trying to adjust her veil over her chin 4. A young woman interrupting neighbors' phone conversation to warn them their beans are burning These are mild, genteel humor pieces typical of Judge's family-friendly content. The Scottish dialect humor and the telephone anecdote represent common period comedy tropes. No significant political commentary is present on this page.

Presently the maiden asked archly, “Of course you've read ‘Romeo and Juliet’?"’ He floundered helplessly for a moment, and then, having a brilliant thought, blurted out happily, “I've read ‘Romeo’ !'"— Peoria Journal. Perfidy of London—After much debate on the dangers and risks to be encoun- tered, McHaggis decided to leave his home in the Highlands for a week-end trip to London. The old folk at home waited anxiously for their Jock’s return, and, when the hour came for the train to arrive, trooped in a body to the station to welcome him. Jock seemed very silent, and the fam- ily glanced apprehensively at each other. Could he have lost his heart to the wiles of some Sassenach siren? When all were gathered round the blaz- ing fire in the evening, his old mother put the dreaded question. “What ails ye, Jock? Ye've no’ told us onything aboot Lunnon. Is it no’ the fine place they would have us believe?"’ “Oh, aye, it’s nay so bad!"? answered Jock. Then suddenly his indignation flared up. ‘‘But they’re no’ honest up there !’" “Whit way are they no’ honest, Jock?’" “*Weel, I had my doots all the time, but I made sure the day. I bought a packet of pins at the station for a penny, and on the cover it said there were one thousand pins insid Weel, I counted them in the train, and—would you believe it?—there were only nine hundred and _ninety- three !"’"—London Answers. It Wasn't Agony— Mrs. Jones went shopping one afternoon, accompanied by her husband, and as they emerged from a store after a busy seance, hubby noticed that mother wasn't acting naturally. Be- neath a spotted veil her face was under- going a series of fearful contortions, twisting first to the right and then to the left. “*What’s the matter, Mary?” asked the old man, in alarm. ‘‘Are you ill?" “Of course not, silly !"’ answered wifey, as the contortions continued. ‘‘I never felt better in my life."" “Then what in the world are you doing with your face?’’ wonderingly demanded father. ‘What am I doing?’’ answered mother, exposing both hands, which were full of bundles. ‘Why, I’m trying to get my veil down over my chin.’’—Philadelphia Telegraph. Alarm by Telephune—A young lady took down the receiver of the telephone one day and discovered that the line was in use, “T just put on a pan of beans for din- ner,’’ she heard one woman inform an- other. She hung up the receiver and waited for the conversation to end. Returning to the telephone, she found the women still talking and broke into the conversa- tion. ‘!Madam, I smell your beans burning,”’ she announced. A scream greeted the remark, and the young lady was able to put in her call. — Everybody's Magazine. BUY.
