Meandering notices and oddities from a bygone paper
A collage of brief snippets and anecdotes includes a Dublin man jailed for stealing his wife's false teeth, a Chicago husband in a divorce case blamed for not buying a new hat, and a grand Highland Park super engine under construction weighing 340 tons. The page mixes social quips, adlike asides, and home life vignettes to entertain readers.
