What you’re looking at

This page consists primarily of **short humorous anecdotes and advertisements**—not political cartoons. The three brief jokes exemplify Judge's "Stories with Smiles" humor typical of the era: 1. **"Love's Labor Lost"**: A bride instructs her husband to tell the clergyman not to kiss her after the ceremony. The minister's response—that he'll charge only half his usual fee—is the punchline, satirizing clergy expectations. 2. **"Rare Breed"**: A boy wants a dog "just like Teddy" and insists it be "a full-blooded mongrel," misunderstanding the term. The humor lies in the child's logical but absurd interpretation. 3. **"Beating the Gun"**: References a Wall Street Journal anecdote about a Jewish robbery victim deducting $4 from $200 stolen—relying on period stereotypes about Jewish financial shrewdness. The remaining content consists of **period advertisements** (Egyptian Deities cigarettes, Mothersill's seasick remedy, Carbona cleaning fluid) with no political significance. This is a typical advertising-heavy Judge page rather than a satirical commentary issue.

| Stories with Smiles Love’s Labor Lost—At a certain church it is the invariable custom of the clergyman to kiss the bride after the ceremony. A young woman who was about to be married in this church did not relish the prospect and instructed her prospective husband to tell the clergyman that she did not wish him to kiss her. The bridegroom obeyed the instructions giver “Well, Harry,” said the young woman, when he appeared, “did you tell the minister that I did not wish him to kiss me?” “Yes,” “And what did he say?” “He said that, in that c charge only half the usual fee.” he would Tit-Bits. Rare Breed—Teddy is the joy of a North Hill neighborhood, not on account of his ancestry, because Teddy is a dog of varied antecedents, but because he is one of the best-natured and most highly accom- plished “purps” imaginable. To be plain and frank, Teddy is a mongrel, and this fact was conveyed to one little boy who urged his father to get him a dog just like him. The little boy knew Teddy was a mongrel, but his idea of what “mongrel” meant was surprising when revealed to his father. “What kind of a dog would you like?” the father questioned when he finally con- sented to make the purchase. “Just like Teddy.” “But Teddy is a mongrel.” “Yes; that’s what I want, too, the youngster, ‘‘a full-blooded mongrel Youngstown Telegram.
