The poem speaks of sorrow from a missing loved one. Clarence P Cranz voices a tender ache as tears fall like rain at night. The speaker wonders if the beloved is unhappy and whether a return could heal the heart’s broken ties.
Horace Reame, once praised as a rising man, deserts practical life for mystic prophecies. He marries Mabel Clarkson, follows a clairvoyant's “open door” to wealth, loses all, deteriorates, and dies after a reckless wheat speculation.

The Pomaks are Bulgarophone Muslims who keep their language and customs. They inhabit the remote Rhodope region in Bulgaria, a land long avoided by travelers, noted for fierce mountaineers who resisted Turkish and Christian powers. A Bulgarian force recently occupied the remoter Pomak area allocated seven years ago by the Top-Khane Convention to Eastern Roumelia.

The Chicago Mail notes Japanese hosts prepare ceremonial tea themselves for guests on company occasions. A refined process uses a jewel-like teapot, cloisonne cups, a pear shaped water pitcher, and a lacquered candy box of rare Uji tea. The host scoops leaves with an ivory leaf scoop and brews a pale straw colored infusion served in half filled cups. The tea is delicate fragrant yet strong enough to keep one awake twelve hours.
A Cincinnati land dispute over 1500 acres hinges on whether a deed from seventy five years ago bore five signatures or four.

A vivid New York scene describes 300,000 residents and 50,000 visitors flooding city streets from morning into evening. Brokers, lawyers, clerks, and workers surge along Broadway and Wall Street, with ferries, trains, and taxis overloaded. The piece contrasts frantic activity with the city’s organized push to move people westward and across bridges, detailing the relentless throng and its impact on transit capacity and urban life. It then shifts to a story of a captive white woman raised by Sioux Indians and her blended life, followed by notes on Jaffa orange groves and irrigation challenges in Palestine.
The writer recalls luminous fungi in decayed wood in an old hollow oak and notes glow that can rival contained light at night. Pleurotus in Indian Ocean islands yields a plentiful species with enduring phosphorescence used by native women for hair and dress. Glow reportedly lasts up to 24 hours.
