What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and light humor**, not political satire. The content consists of: **"Stories with Smiles"** — Four brief, gentle anecdotes: - A child misidentifies a dead snake as a "worm" - A newly married Black man seeks divorce, complaining his wife is "wuss" than expected - Two girls mistake frog sounds for a cow or automobile - A cyclist is misdirected by a villager These are mild, domestic jokes relying on misunderstanding and wordplay—typical early-20th-century magazine filler. The racial stereotype in "Sambo's Sad Mistake" reflects period attitudes but carries no pointed satire. **Advertisements** dominate: Old Overholt Rye, White Rock beverages, hotels (Vanderbilt, Puritan, Hill Top Inn), Carbona cleaning fluid, and mailing lists. There is **no political cartoon or satirical commentary** visible on this page. It represents Judge's lighter editorial content alongside commercial promotions.

Stories with Smiles A Snake Story—Weeta is a little girl who lives in that part of Louisville at once and comprehensively denominated the West End. Her real name, of course, is Rita; but this is too much for her playmates, and their version of it has been taken by her and their elders, until now they have to stop and think who is meant when this ap- pellation is used. Ordinarily her communication, if not yea, yea, and nay, nay, is as acceptable in the sight of good folk as that of any six- year-old; but last week an incident oc- curred which startled her out of her accus- tomed decorum. She had been taken to the country for a visit and accompanied one of the men to the big barn, where, in the course of his labors, he uncovered a huge blacksnake that had hidden under a pile of boards. After it had been dispatched and the ex- citement was all over, Weeta, viewing the remains, ejaculated, “Gosh! What a worm!""—Louwisville Times. Sambo’s Sad Mistake—Recently a colored party living in the suburbs of a big city married a large brunette named Lucinda. Three weeks later he appeared at the office of a lawyer, looking as if he might have been dented with flatirons and bumped into by a road roller. “Can't stand it no longer, boss,’’ he sadly remarked to the legal one. ‘‘I wants a divawce from dat Lucinda. Las’ t’ing she chucked at me was de stove. To- morrer it will be de chimbley.”” ‘That's all right, Sam,"* soothingly re- turned the lawyer, seeking to effect a rec- onciliation. ‘‘Everything will come out all right. Besides, you know you took Lu- cinda for better or for worse."’ **Yes, sah,’’ admitted Sambo. ‘‘So I did, sah; but she is a whole lot wuss dan I took her for.'"—Philadelphia Telegraph. Sounds of Nature—The inhabitants of a frog pond close at hand awakened two little girls who were spending their first night in the country. First came the high, piping voice of a little ‘‘ peeper.’’ “What's that?’’ whispered Winnie. “T think it’s a bird,’’ ventured Susan. Just then a basso profundo frog sung one of his lowest tones. ‘What's that?’’ came another startled whisper. “T ain't quite sure,’’ came the answer, “*but I think it is either a cow or an auto- mobile.''— Youngstown Telegram. Fooling the Enemy—Rain was falling steadily as the weary cyclist plodded on through the English mud. At last he spied a figure walking toward him through the gloom. Gladly he sprang off his machine and asked the native, **How far off is the village of Poppleton?”’ **Just ten miles the other way, sir,’’ was the reply. **The other way !"’ exclaimed the cyclist. “But the last signpost I passed said it was in this direction."’ “‘Ah,"’ said the native, with a knowing “a teaspoonful of Abbett’s Bitters with » pe Fruit makes nn ideal appetizing tonic.
