# Content Explanation for Modern Readers This page from *Judge* magazine contains several humorous pieces: **Main Feature**: A satirical song encouraging dog ownership as a path to unconditional friendship. The joke plays on dogs' famous loyalty—suggesting a dog is more reliable than human friends. It humorously catalogs breed preferences (pomeranians, collies, bulldogs) for different personality types, all ending with the refrain to "hitch a pup." **"The Horse" Section**: A comedic piece presenting a Japanese schoolboy's hilariously garbled English description of horses. The humor derives from malapropisms and confused anatomical terminology ("spinal cord" for saddle, "foots" for feet, "afterwards" for hind legs)—a common early-20th-century joke format mocking non-native English speakers. **Golf Instruction**: Jim Barnes (likely the famous golfer) offers genuine golfing advice about concentration. **Short Jokes**: Miscellaneous one-liners about domestic life and class differences, typical of the era's humor magazine format.

If You Want to Have a Regular Friend IF you want to have a regular friend, One you can swear is true, If you want to have a regular friend Whose only thought is you, If you want to feel whate’er life brings He’ll never give you up, Go out and buy a collar and chain And onto it hitch a pup. Chorus. Onto it hitch a pup, Onto it hitch a pup, The surest thing you ever will know As on through life you jog: You’ve a friend in need that’s a friend indeed If only you own a dog. To stylish tastes maybe you are inclined, You’d like a pom or peke, Or a little, curly, poodle-oodle Is just the kind you seek. It matters not if big or small, With joy he’ll fill your cup, So, go out and buy a collar and chain And onto it hitch a pup. Chorus. Or, perhaps you’ve a somewhat sporty taste You’d like a bull, you feel, With legs that curve and a powerful chest And finely trained to heel. And there is the collie of bounding grace That begs with you to sup, So, go out and buy a collar and chain And onto it hitch a pup. Chorus. Don’t you love the airs of the aire- dale glum? Beats there a heart more true? Shepherds, setters, pointers, Oh, any old dog will do! If you want to have a regular friend Who'll never give you up, Go out and buy a collar and chain And onto it hitch a pup. Chorus. The Horse As explained to his teacher by a Japanese schoolboy in Honolulu: The horse is a very noble quad- ruped, but when he is angry he will not be so. He is ridden on the spinal cord by the bridal and sadle. The driver places his foots on the stir- rups and divides his lower limbs across the saddle and drives his animal to the meadow. He has a long mouth and his head is at- tached to the Cut sp My, Al ot Drawn by RENE CLARKE tration. JIM BARNES’ LIST OF TEN COMMON FAULTS OF GOLFERS.

He has four legs, two are in the front and two are after- wards. They are the weapons on which he runs, also defends him- self by extending those in the rear in a parallel direction towards his foe, but this he does only when he is in a vexatious mood. His fooding is generally grasses and grains. He is also useful to take on his back a man or womans as well as some cargo. He has power to run as fast as he could. He has got no sleep at night time, but always standing awaken. Also there are horses of short sizes. They do the same as others are generally doing. There is no animal like the horse, no sooner they see their master or guardian they are always crying for fooding but it is always at the morning time. They have got tail, but not so long as cow and other such like animals. A Caution “Ts your mistress out?” “Well, sir, she’s out to some gink.
