What you’re looking at

This page contains two unrelated humor pieces and multiple advertisements, typical of Judge magazine's format. **"Her Wire"** satirizes the gap between husbands' and wives' communication styles. When a businessman asks his wife to "wire" updates during vacation, he expects brief, reassuring messages. Instead, she sends an exhaustive telegram detailing every family complaint—sick children, poor train food, overpriced dining cars, household instructions—then charges him $9.80 in telegraph fees. The joke mocks both her verbosity and the impracticality of his request, suggesting wives cannot be concise even when paying by the word. **"His Plea"** (incomplete on this page) appears to be a dialect humor piece featuring a Black man caught stealing chickens attempting to negotiate with a white legislator. **The Schlitz Advertisement** dominates the right side, claiming brown bottles protect beer from light decay and that pure Schlitz causes no "biliousness" (digestive upset)—a common beer complaint of the era.

Her “Wire” ‘OU’D better wire me when you get “(E" there, so I will know that every- thing is all right,”’ said Higgins, as he kissed his wife and three children good-by ‘on the car in which they were to, journey to the vacation resort at which they were to remain six weeks. The next morning he received the desired ‘wire.’ It read as follows: “Dear Tom—We arrived here safely after a hot and tiresome ride. Tommy got dreadfully earsick, and Maizie hada sick headache most of the way, and I had my hands full taking care of them. Then the baby got tired and hot and fretted a great deal, so it was rather a hard journey for all of us. They didn’t pat on any dining-car until two o'clock inthe afternoon, and we nearly starved. Then, when they did put on the diner, it was nearly an hour before I could get a table for all four of us. The food was the poorest I ever ate in a dining-car and the prices the highest. I heard one man say that he thought it was a regular case of graft. But we are here now and have qaite pleasant rooms, although they are not on the beach or water side of the house. But, then, we will be in our rooms so little that it does not make very much difference where our rooms are. Be sure and come down Friday and stay over Sunday, and don't forget what Itold you about watering my plants and seeing to it that the house is locked care- fally every time you leave it. You are s careless about such things. Now I must get the children to bed, and they should have been in bed before this, but Iwanted to wire you as you suggested, and now Ihave done so. Lovingly, “*Mary.’” “Nine dollars and eighty cents to pay on it,” said the messenger boy, as he banded Higgins the book for his signature. “Geewhillikens!
