A Fort Defiance, New Mexico, sergeant used a tied tin cup and a dog carrying a note to warn of four hundred hostile Navajo. The dog carried a lead pencil note to aid rescue, and a timely relief party arrived to save the guarding party. The sergeant seeks a presidential commendation.
A playful miscellany shows social signals and flirtations with anecdotes about foot tapping under tables, witty retorts, and a Canadian remedy mix up. It also features rhymed humor, a moral on marriage age, and light wartime banter with a focus on everyday gender roles.

A report from Fort Stanton area describes vast stone edifices with three hundred foot fronts, loopholed walls, bas relief carvings, and massive cemented blocks. The ruins are compared to Thebes and Palmyra with feudal European castle features and a dense, fertile plateau near the Pecos river.
A Russian Count exiled for political crimes escaped Siberia with his wife and daughter by boarding for the United States. In New York they earned a living as street musicians pawning clothing to buy an organ violin and fiddle. Four years of touring built savings to buy a $12,000 home and sign deeds. A pardon arrived and he plans to return home next week with their musical troupe.
