What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** rather than political satire. The masthead identifies it as *Judge*, Vol. LXX, No. 1505—a satirical weekly newspaper. The small humor sections ("Familiar Fiction," "Paying the Minister," "Rebuked") are brief, **non-political jokes** about domestic life and social situations—a miner's wife complaining about meager wages, a couple's cheap wedding gift to a minister, an artist being observed. These reflect **working-class and genteel anxieties** typical of 1916 but lack topical bite. The majority of the page features **commercial advertisements**: typewriter lessons, art instruction books, foot powder (marketed to WWI troops), and patent services. The war reference to "German and Allied troops" dates this to **active World War I**, though America wouldn't enter until 1917. **No significant political cartoons or caricatures appear on this visible page**—it's a typical mixed advertising/humor format common in early 20th-century periodicals before the magazine focused primarily on satirical illustration.

So, for the second week, the miner doled out only half a dollar. Then his wife went for him. She told him what she thought of his meanness. The house rever- berated h her indignation.

Rebuked—The persevering landscape painter knew that he had an observer looking over his shoulder at the easel. He knew from the rustle of skirts that the observer was a woman; yet he worked steadily on. Presently the observer spoke. “A charming landscape,” she said. “Ah, you patter me,” said the artist modestly Compared with the original landscape it is very poor stuff.” “T meant the original,” said the observer. —New York Times. 1916 No. 1808 Copyright, 1916. by LeslieJudge Company Entered at the Post-office at New York as second-class matter Cable address “Judgark.” Telephone 663% Madison Square Published weekly by LeslieJudge Company, Brunswick Building, 225 Fifth Avenue, New York Washington Representative Building, Washington, D.
