What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and light humor pieces** rather than political satire. The main content includes: **Humor Stories:** Three brief anecdotes—one about a railway guard bribed with a half-crown to tell a passenger someone is mentally unwell; another about a newly hired Black worker named Poe being confused with Edgar Allan Poe; and a fragment about unpopular "Morgan Buttles" and moonshine makers. **Advertisements:** Dominant on the page are ads for diamonds (direct importation claims), "Improve Your Face" beauty advice, magic tricks, cigars, and a hotel in Buffalo. **Social Context:** The "Poe" story relies on period racial stereotypes and dialect humor common in early 20th-century American magazines. The other stories use mild class humor (working-class guards, mountaineers). The page reflects Judge's mixed editorial approach: satirical commentary alongside conventional advertisements and genteel humor targeting middle-class readers.

All went well till hey got toa station about the middle of the journey, and then an irascible gentleman pulled at the door of Pilkington’s carriage. “Guard, guard!” he called, “open this door! I know your tricks. I’ve got the right to travel in this carriage, and I mean to do it!” The guard hurried up; but, wonder of wonders, he whispered a few words to the irascible gentleman, after which that gentle- man went quietly away to seek room else- where. “How did you manage it?” Pilkington asked the guard at the end of the journey, as he pressed the promised half crown into his hand. “How did you manage to get that bad-tempered old chap to go away so quietly?” “Oh, that was easy,” replied the guard. “T only just told ‘im you were a bit wrong in the ’ead.” —Philadel phia Ledger. He Was That Party—A colored man called at Mrs. Baxley’s looking for work. “What is your name?” she asked, after hiring him. “Mah name is Poe, answer. “Poe!” she exclaimed. ‘Perhaps some of your family worked for Edgar Allen Poe; did they?” The colored man opened his eyes wide with amazement. “Why—why, ma'am,” he said, as ma’am,” was the Thrills with A Pleasur eg uma Fills with Joy Good Restaurante, Saloons sad Dealers HOTEL LENOX North St., at Delaware Ave., Buffalo, N.

Preparing a Finish—“ That feller Mor- gan Buttles is terrible unpopular,” said one mountaincer. “We'll have to git rid o’ him somehow,” replied the old moonshiner. “Yes. But we don’t want to do nothin’ in a way that ain’t legitimate an’ customary. You know he has p’litical ambitions.” “T’ve heard so. But he ain’t got no pull.” “Yes, he has. An’ you an’ your relations want to stand back o' me when I put the case up to our congressman. We'll git Buttles app’inted a revenue inspector an’ then let nature take its course.” —Washing- ton Star. The Law On Pies—A reader wrote to the Arkansas City Traveler, asking what a young man should do when he sat on a custard pie at a picnic. The editor advised him to remain there until the others went home. However, there are those who dis- agree with the Traveler. editor’s advice. There are those even who advise throwing the remains of the pie into the lap of the woman who brought it along. Anyone who takes a custard pie on a* picnic deserves whatever may happen to her. Custard pie is, or should be, strictly an in- door enterprise. No pie without a sub- stantial top crust should be allowed on a picnic.—Kansas City Star.
