Remarkable stone records in Yuha Desert of Colorado
The Los Angeles Times extols Yuha plains in the Colorado Desert as a barren landscape strewn with remarkable stone formations. It describes graves of thirst victims, wave-worn rocks carved into cabbage patches and dinner plates, dumbbells, canons balls, flowers, birds, and shells. Two shell mountains record prehistoric life, with large shells and brachiopods preserved in place.

Local Pride and Public Spirit for Tomahawk’s Town Growth
The Tomahawk urges residents to praise and improve their town, support local institutions, and promote trade at home. Citizens should consider the common good, endorse public officers, and advertise to aid themselves, not just private interests, as strangers visit and locals live off collective effort.
The Iowa Hen as Town and Country Queen
A humorous verse praising the Iowa hen over Maude and milkmaids. It contrasts farm labor with town life, showing the hen laying eggs before dawn, supplying corn and fruit, while a farmer’s wife and husband face separate fates.

Leper Missionary Brother Serapion Van Koop Dies
A letter from Brother Serapion Van Koop, a Belgian lay missionary in Molokai, reveals he has contracted leprosy while serving near the leper colony. He describes diagnosis in Honolulu, a return to Molokai, and a vow to live in isolation, awaiting death. He is 28 and faces lifelong solitude in a Teper colony hut. The story recalls a once thriving inland town built around a doctor and his projects that collapsed after his departure.
