What you’re looking at
This page contains primarily **humor columns and advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The left side features "With the College Wits"—a collection of brief satirical jokes mocking college students and contemporary social anxieties. One joke ridicules a barber worried about men shaving themselves; another pokes fun at a campus official indifferent to student concerns. Additional quips target Montmorency (unclear who), a woman's "exactitude" about her birthplace, and a young woman claiming she couldn't be "rude" after being kissed—suggesting satirical commentary on changing social behaviors and courtship norms. The right side contains a large **Budweiser advertisement** emphasizing the beer's purity, ingredients (Saazer Hops), and nutritional value—typical early 20th-century marketing claims. Below that is an advertisement for Maurice Switzer's book *Letters of a Self-Made Failure*, illustrated with pen-drawings, promoting it as philosophical humor about success and failure. The page reflects Judge's blend of collegiate humor and consumer advertising from this era.
