What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and short humorous anecdotes** rather than political cartoons. The "Stories with Smiles" section presents gentle domestic humor about American life, circa early 1900s. "Mother's Rampage" satirizes the exhausting, relentless labor of housewives—the joke being that one day off annually makes a woman so desperate for freedom she commandeers the family buggy. "Easy Money" plays on modern divorce settlements (a woman receiving alimony for *not* living with her husband). These reflect genuine social anxieties about women's domestic servitude and evolving marital arrangements. The remaining content consists of advertisements: Hunter Baltimore Rye whiskey (emphasizing "American Gentleman" hospitality), "American Queens" art prints (featuring female subjects), and The Great Northern Hotel in New York. The page reflects *Judge*'s audience—affluent, urban American men—and contains no overt political satire, focusing instead on gentle mockery of domestic life and consumption.

Stories with Smifes *g Rampage—A meek little woman festa Atchison. She does her duty by her family three hundred and sixty- four days out of the year, but on the other day she goes on the rampage. Instead of getting up at five-thirty in the morning, harrying into her clothes, getting break- fast, doing the dishes, cleaning up the house, feeding the chickens, skimming the cream, putting away the milk, get- ting dinner, doing the dishes, sewing, getting supper, doing the dishes, putting away the milk, sewing and going to bed, she goes on a strike, and begins by stay- ing in bed until some one in the family gets breakfast on the table. Then, dressed and ready to go downtown, she appears and says, evidently to her men folks, ‘I would like a horse and buggy to-day.’’ The men folks do not say a word; they know ‘‘mamma” is going on the rampage. They hitch up the family driving horse to the shiniest buggy on the place, and “mamma’’ walks out of the house, in a dignified way climbs into the buggy, and, sitting as straight as an arrow, says, “Get-up, Prince!’ to the horse and drives off. That’s the last the family sees of her until about dark, when she comes driving back, steps down from the buggy, and goes into the house and visits with the family until bedtime. — Atchison (Kan.) Globe. Easy Money—Miss Curley kept a pri- vate school and one morning was inter- viewing a new pupil. “What does your father do to earn his living?’’ the teacher asked the little girl. “Please, ma’am,’’ was the prompt re- ply, “he doesn’t live with us. My mother supports me."” . “Well, then,’’ asked the teacher, “‘how does your mother earn her living?” “Why,” replied the little girl, in an artless manner, ‘‘she gets paid for stay- ing away from father.’’—New York Times. She Knew Too Well—Ben Foster was noted for his shiftlessness. If it had not been for his wife, he would not have done astroke of work on his little farm and garden, It was all his wife could do to get him to work, for he preferred to sit and read all day. One evening, after he had been reading French history with deep interest, he closed the book and said to his wife, ‘‘Do you know, Maria, what I’d ’a’ done if I had been Napoleon?” “Oh, yes, I know well enough,’’ his wife responded. ‘*You’d have settled right down on a farm in Corsica and let it run to ruin, while you grumbled about your hard luck.’’—El Paso Times. One on Father—A young minister Preached one Sunday to a rural congre- gation and spent the next day visiting the people. At one house the man of the house was expressing his appreciation of the sermon in complimentary terms, while assisting TTT MNT LL THE AMERICAN GENTLEMAN EXCELS IN THE HOSPITALITY OF HIS HOME HUNTER BALTIMORE RYE ~—& EXCELS IN ITS PURITY, FLAVOR AND GENERAL EXCELLENCE Sold at all first-class cafés and by jobber } WM.
