What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and humorous filler content**, typical of Judge magazine. The main text piece is a light satirical poem about human hypocrisy—the speaker denounces complaining, procrastination, extravagance, and laziness while admitting to practicing all of them. It's mild social satire about universal human failings. The surrounding content includes short joke submissions from readers, a hotel advertisement, and ads for art schools and cartooning instruction. The advertisements for Old Overholt Rye whiskey and "Letters of a Self-Made Failure" book indicate this is a magazine for educated, middle-class readers. No prominent political figures or specific contemporary events are caricatured on this page—it's general-audience humor and advertising rather than pointed political commentary typical of Judge's satirical focus.

ALL KINDS OF PAPER MADE TO ORDER Passing the Mustard Where the Trouble Lies It’s very foolish to complain, It doesn’t soothe an ache or pain. There’s nothing that man can gain, That I have noticed, by it. A grumbler is an awful bore, Who makes his neighbors sick and sore, But all the same I grumble more Or less. I don’t deny it. It’s foolish to procrastinate, It’s well to do things soon as late, But I would always sooner wait ‘Than instantly take action. It’s wrong to be extravagant, T’'d like to save, but then I can’t, And spending money is, you'll grant, A sort of satisfaction. It’s foolish for a man to shirk His fair and proper share of work. In idleness great dangers lurk, Although I can’t detect ‘em. It’s very foolish tobe blind To one’s own faults of any kind. My own quite easily I find. It’s hard, though, to correct ‘em. Chicago News.
