What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and light humor** rather than political satire. The main content consists of: **Advertisements** dominate: Club Cocktails (spirits), Evans Ale and Stout (beer), law training courses, and patent attorney services—typical early 20th-century periodical fare. **"Stories with Smiles"** features four brief, wholesome jokes: - A schoolboy's blank essay about spending a million dollars - A college student suggesting his father work nights to afford tuition - A former convict ordering "pork and beans" at a fancy restaurant (playing on working-class ignorance of French menus) - A minister's preaching on marriage responsibilities driving away unmarried parishioners These are **gentle social humor**—poking fun at youth, class differences, and small-town life—rather than sharp political commentary. The jokes assume readers recognize familiar social scenarios: parental sacrifice, educational expense, class pretension, and rural innocence. The page reflects Judge's lighter editorial content alongside commercial messaging typical of satirical magazines of this era.

Stories with Smiles What He Would Do—As the subject for their weekly ay the schoolmaster asked his pupils to say what they would do if they had $1,000,000. At once all heads were bent, save one, and pens scratched busily. The one exception was little Willie. He calmly sat doing nothing, twiddling his fingers and watching the flies on the ceiling. At the end of the time the teacher collected the papers and Willie handed over a blank sheet. “How's this, Willie?” asked the teacher. “Ts this your essay? Why, all the others have written at least two sheets, while you do nothing!” “Well,” replied Willie. E vhat I would do if I were a millionaire!” —Phila- delphia Ledger. Cost of Culture—The college fresh man year was proving very expens to father, so father decided to ha “heart to-heart” talk with Charles, home for the week. “Now, son,” said he gravely, but affee- tionately, “your mother and I are spending just as little as we possibly can. I get up in the morning at 6:30 and I work unul after 5. But, son, the money just won't go round at the rate your expenses are running. What do you think we had bet- ter do?” For a moment Charles's head was buried in thought, and then he replied: “Well, father, I don’t see any wa but for you to work nights.” —Philadelphia Ledger. He Had Enough of Beans—Bill Pink- erton of the Chicago detective force was accosted on State Street by an ex from Joliet, to whom he had shown some favors in former years. The ex being temporarily flush with money, invited Bill to have lunch with him at one of the fashionable restau- rants. The ex offered the bill of fare to Bill, and the waiter having taken his order, handed the French menu card to the ex. He looked at it a moment, puzzled at the strange hieroglyphics and then turned to the waiter: “Where are the pork and beans on this card?” The waiter indicated the item. “Well, bring me everything above and below that line.”"—Joliet Prison Post. Scared Them off—The lady from G Littleton was talking to a friend who lived in Lesser Littleton. “T’ve often wondered,” she said presently, “why you all combined to get your minister changed. What had the old one done?” The Lesser Littleton lady settled herself more easily in the chair. “Oh, my dear, he was quite impossible she explained. ‘‘Why, he used to preach and talk about the responsibilities of marri- age so much that none of the unmarried men in the village had the courage to propose.” —Philadel phia Ledger.
