What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and filler content** typical of Judge magazine. The main items are: 1. **"Niagara to the Sea" travel advertisement** for Canada Steamship Lines—promoting a vacation tour with pricing and booking information. 2. **"A Strange Pictorial Coincidence"** letter—A reader reports noticing something hidden in Judge's June 5th cover illustration that only appears when held to light. The letter doesn't specify what the hidden image is, but calls it a "joke." This appears to be an editor's note about an Easter egg or optical illusion deliberately placed in the cover art. 3. **"Stories with Smiles"** section—brief humorous anecdotes, including one about a farmer purchasing an automobile, unaware of its actual function or cost. The joke relies on rural/urban stereotypes common to early-1900s American humor. The page contains no political satire or recognizable caricatures—it's primarily commercial content and light humor typical of Judge's secondary pages.

Yours truly, a reader, HeW.s, Stories with Smiles Learning It All—A farmer strolled into a motor sales house. ‘‘ What's that worth?"* he asked, pointing to a small car. ‘*Five hundred dollars,’’ was the reply. “*And that?"’ pointing to a better car. “*Seven hundred and fifty dollars."” “‘And that there one?’’ pointing to a seven-passenger, with a jerk of his thumb, “That one is a fine car and is worth twelve hundred dollars.’’ “I'll take it,’’ said the farmer. “‘The car is cash, you know," said the salesman, “*Yes, I got the money,”’ said the farmer, as he pulled a roll of bills out of his pocket, peeled off twelve one-hundred-dollar bills and paid for the car. ‘‘Now, you'll show me how to drive the critter?"" ‘*Sure,’’ said the salesman; ‘‘that’s a part of the sale.’” So they started out, and, after going three miles, overtook a man in a wagon witha mule team, The salesman tooted and honked and honked and tooted, but the man with the mules refused to heed. of humor is i ‘Then,’ said the farmer, ‘‘you run right over that sunnavagun. That's the way automobile drivers always done with me.” —Toronto ( Kan.) Republican. A Cry for Discipline—‘‘I'll be mighty glad when my boy Josh gets back home,” said Farmer Corntossel. “You need him around the farm?" **T should say so.’" “*Is he such a wonderful worker?"’ “*L wouldn't think of askin’ Josh to work."” “Then why do you need him?"’ “The hired man’s puttin’ on so much airs, there ain’t hardly no livin’ with him. Josh is the only person that ever come around here that kin beat him playin’ checkers. '’— Washington Star. From Father to Son—'‘Well, Bobby,” said the minister to the small son of one of his deacons, ‘*what is the news?’’ **Popper’s got a new set of false teeth."” “Indeed !"’ said the minister, restraining adesire to laugh. ‘‘And what will he do with the old set?” “Oh, I suppose,"’ replied Bobby, ‘‘they’ll cut 'em down and make me wear ‘em."’— Kansas City Star.
