This page contains **humor content and advertisements** from Judge magazine (a satirical publication). The main feature is "Judge's Own Contributors' Corner," which presents **Perelman**—a fictional pseudonymous contributor described as a mechanical figure made of glass, concrete, and steel with human attributes "except a check-book." The satirical biography mocks his Brooklyn Navy Yard address and claims he composed "Jingle Bells" and other pieces. The final detail—that he's married four times and "strangled all four wives for waking him before noon" because he's "a Moslem"—uses crude ethnic stereotype humor typical of early 20th-century American magazines. Below are several brief comic anecdotes with punchlines about illness, attraction, and mistaken identity (a man at a costume party dressed as a Roman isn't "Titus Andronicus" but rather doesn't know where the bar is). The page is primarily filled with **period advertisements**: a Murad cigarette ad and Resinol burn treatment product. These were standard magazine filler content.

His permanent address is the Brook- lyn Na Yard. During the w he was a piper with Sou Band and is generally regarded as the composer of “Jingle Bells,” “L’Africaine,” and other popul: ar ditties. His favorite dish is cabi- net pudding and his favorite flower the dahlia. He is fond of games of chance and has a sweet and winning disposition. For the benefit of our feminine readers, he has been married four times and has strangled all four wives for waking him before noon. He is a Moslem.
