What you’re looking at

This page combines humor sections with advertising. The "College Wits" section features brief jokes about university students and young people—typical of Judge magazine's satirical humor. The jokes mock absent-minded behavior ("George is wandering in his mind"), romantic entanglements at social gatherings, and the practical challenges of college life (prayer for engineering students). The dominant content is a large advertisement for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, promoting their "Electrified Mountain Route" across the Rocky Mountains. This highlights early-20th-century pride in railroad electrification technology and scenic western travel. The bottom features "The Shock Absorber," promoting a Judge magazine art print available for purchase—a common feature in Judge that monetized popular cartoon illustrations from the current issue. The page reflects Judge's dual nature: satirical commentary on contemporary life mixed with commercial advertising.
