This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** rather than political satire. The main elements include: **Advertisements:** Player pianos ($110), Evans Ale, All Havana cigars (25¢), and Art Studies prints occupy the left and bottom sections. **"Stories with Smiles" section:** Three brief humorous anecdotes: 1. A husband subtly encourages his wife's physical labor by praising "exercise" 2. A Chinese man pretends not to understand English in court but forgets himself—racist humor based on the "inscrutable Oriental" stereotype 3. An Irishman mishears "Dunn" as "Done," creating a pun **Right column:** An advertisement for H.W. Slauson's automotive advice service through Leslie's Motor Department, offering free guidance to Judge readers. The page reflects early 20th-century commercial magazine layout and contains period ethnic stereotyping typical of the era's "humor."

Tagliche Rundschau tells an amusing story of an Oriental who pretended not to understand English, but forgot himself at the moment. A Chinaman was brought before a magis- trate in a court of a Canadian city and re- ceived a fine for a slight misdemeanor. The judge had great difficulty in making the Oriental understand, for he pretended not to know a word of English. “Look here, man," he said disgustedly; “that is one dollar. Do you see? Pay it —otherwise in jail! Understand?’’ The Chinaman signified that he did not understand, and the magistrate repeated it. **Let me talk with him, your honor,"’ said the portly officer who had arrested him. “T'll make him understand !"" When the judge had given him leave, the officer approached the Chinaman and shouted in his ear, “Say, you, with the teakettle face, can’t you hear anything? You've got to pay a two-dollar fine !"" “You're a liar!"’ cried the Chinaman, forgetting himself in his rage. ‘‘It's only one dollar !''"— Youth's Companion. A Wrong Impression—A German looking for a person by the name of Dunn, who owed him money, asked a young fellow near Sweeny’s eating-house where No. 66 Chat- ham Street was, as he ‘‘wished to find Mr. Dunn."" The fellow told him to go into Sweeny’s eating-house, and the man near the window was Mr. Dunn. The German went into the eating-house and went up to a man, who happened to be an Irishman. “Are you Dunn?" said the German. **Done?"’ said Pat. ‘By my soul, I have just started !'"—Philadelphia Record.
