This page primarily contains **humorous short stories** rather than political cartoons. The "Stories with Smiles" section features anecdotes satirizing cultural stereotypes and class dynamics: 1. **"Overworking the Czar"**: A Scottish servant's innocent question—whether the Russian Czar can hold two jobs simultaneously—gently mocks both Scottish literalism and imperial pretension. 2. **"The Will to Do"**: A deadbeat customer's wordplay about paying for pork is simple comedic irony about credit and deception. 3. **"Silent But Eloquent"**: A pun about "stump speeches" (wooden legs/prosthetics for war casualties) satirizes war's human cost through dark humor about amputees. The remaining stories use similar gentle satire about miscommunication and character flaws. The page also includes **period advertisements**—for Vafiadis cigarettes and Pine Bluff Inn—typical of Judge magazine's content. There are no identifiable political figures or sharp partisan commentary visible on this particular page.

But the pride is still there. When the Royal Scots Greys were hon- aed by having the Czar appointed as their tonorary colonel, an officer in the regiment told the news to his servant. “Donald.” he said, “the Czar of Russia has been appointed colonel of our regiment.” “Indeed, sir, an’ is that so?” exclaimed Donald. ‘It’s a verra fine thing fur him.” Then a puzzled expression stole over his face ad he scratched his he - “Beg par-r-don, sir,” he added, “but wull be be able to keep baith jobs?”—London Answers. The Will to Do—Jim Smith was no- wwiously slow pay. He owed quite a bill at the grocery for pork. One day, as his credit was becoming strained, he walked almly into the groce and said: “Mr. Black, I want to pay you for the pork I have had, and I want some more.” “Certainly,” said the delighted proprictor, as be hastened to wait on his customer. Taking the package of pork, Jim Smith started to go. “Wait a minute,” said the proprictor. “Ithought you wanted to pay for the pork.” “Ido,” remarked Jim he resumed his bomeward way, “but I can’t.”—The Chris- tian Herald. Silent, But Eloquent — Otto Kahn, who has given his estate in Engl asa home for blind soldiers, was tal about the horrors of war. “The other day,” he said, “two men on a Hoboken pier saw a huge cargo of wooden kegs being loaded on a steamer for shipment to Europe. “Those wooden legs,’ said the first man, ‘ae a mighty eloquent argument against war, are they not “*Yes,’ the other man agreed; ‘they're shit you might call stump speeches.””— Washington Star. As James Understood It—The new curate was very anxious that he should look his smartest while preaching his first ser- non. But when he arrived at the church tefound that the vestry contained no mirror, % he sought the sexton, an old Scotsman, and asked in low, nervous tones: “Er, James, can I, that is, do you think you could get me a glass?” James, with a shake of his head, disap- peared, returning after a few minutes, carry- ‘ag something under his coat. Then it was that the mistaken James withdrew with feat care a large black bottle, saying at the same time: * “Ye maunna let on about it; for I got it 8a special favor, an’ I wadna hae got it ata’ if T hadna told ’em it wis fur you.”— Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Hunting Trouble—When a man just naturally wants trouble it is mighty easy to find an excuse for making it.
