Strained reminiscence on rumors of powder in wood
The narrator argues there was powder in the wood and blames a white man for planting it to trap thieves who never buy wood. The speech condemns the act as an outrage and notes that children’s suppers were piled as a consequence.

Quirky Daily Snippets and a Cure for Drunkenness
A bemused drunk seeks a cure from a Chicago doctor who says abstinence is the only cure. A candid exchange ends with the drunk muttering he would rather remain uncured. Other anecdotes cover a boastful artist, a wary admirer of women at work, and a playful Yankee ribbing English and French painters. A trial in a cruelty case shows a grieving wife and a tense inquiry into domestic conduct.
