What you’re looking at

This page from Judge magazine contains three humorous stories rather than political cartoons: 1. **"A Soft Answer"**: A beggar uses flattery and pseudo-intellectual language (calling himself a "psychologist") to manipulate a woman into feeding him. The moral emphasizes diplomacy's power. 2. **"Then He Fled"**: A farmer advertises for a wife and arranges to meet a respondent at the train station. Two women arrive; he approaches the homely one but learns she's not his correspondent. Embarrassed, he flees across Arizona rather than face the beautiful woman he was actually seeking. The humor relies on slapstick misunderstanding and his cowardice. 3. **"Message Strangely Delivered"**: An incomplete story about a Scottish doctor visiting India, promising an old Highland woman he'll find her son Donald there—despite India's vast size. The humor lies in the absurdity of the promise. The page is primarily advertising (cocktails, hotels, education programs) with these brief comic stories interspersed—typical Judge magazine fare mixing humor with commercial content.

I read character at a glance. In looking into the soulful depths of your beautiful eyes, I read there that you are by nature a kind- hearted, gentle, generous woman. It is these noble impulses and the contempla- tion of charitable deeds that keep you look- ing so young and handsome.” “You poor, tired, hungry man,” said the woman. ‘Come inside and I will give you some breakfast.” Moral—Diplomacy is mightier than the sword.—Downs (Kans.) Times. Then He Fled—Tired of driving fur- rows and raking cattle in solitude, Verhaden Spritts advertised in the Midwestern Booze for a wife. He received one answer, which read: “Meet the Wednesday morning train. I will wear Woodrow pink. Sisabelle.”” Wednesday morning two females stepped off the train at Spawfields. One was three octaves homelier than blue mud, the other was one of the world’s ten most scrumptious beauties. “*Scuse me,” he said, “but is your name Sisabelle?” “The idea!” she replied indignantly. “No, it’s not, and it’s none of your business what my name is. My name is Prunella.” And she walked haughtily away. Verhaden Spritts took one more glance at the remain- ing female and fled due east.

Message Strangely Delivered—Dr. Norman Macleod, the famous Scottish divine, before visiting India called on an old Highland woman in Glasgow. “When ye gang tae India,” she said, ‘‘ye’ll be seein’ ma Donal’ that went awa tae India 10 years ago, an’ never sent the scrape of a pen tae his mither since.” “But, Katie,” said the doctor, “India is a very big place, and how can I expect to find him?” “Oh, but ye'll just be askin’ for Donal’. What for no?” So, to please the old woman, he promised to ask for Donald, and he conscientiously kept his word. At various ports he made inquiry among British ships, although it seemed very much like looking for a needle in a bale of hay. But it is the unexpected that happens. As Dr. Macleod’s steamer went up the Hoogly River an outward bound vessel passed close by. A sailor was leaning over her bulwarks, and, moved by a sudden impulse, the doctor shouted out: “Are you Donald Mactavish?” To his intense surprise the man answered, “Yes,” Dr. Macleod had only time to shout, purchase of any motor. driven vehicle or boa but are in doubt as to what particular type is best suited to your needs, H.
