It traces ocean as symbol of God’s majesty and mercy, noting storms as tests embraced by a benevolent Creator who guides souls home. Phonetic verse reflects solace in faith amid upheaval. The piece attributes the meditation to Luther Davis in the Northern Observer.
Hayle Kitwater and Coddy recruit, plan, and sail toward Sengkor Wat to uncover a legendary treasure chamber said to hold rubies sapphires and gold. They seek a court of the Three-headed Elephants and warn of Dutch jails while pursuing a life changing haul in the Burmese ruins.
A Youth's Companion piece recounts Balakireff and czar Peter the Great with tales of Finland under Russian rule. The jester’s clever quip about Swedish soil leads to a prophecy of Russian control, while a court anecdote shows Balakireff sparing a cousin by triggering a humorous mercy plea.

Parsley makes a good border for beds of bright blossoms and is hardy and easy to grow. Ampelopsis veitchii or Boston ivy makes a reliable porch climber with brilliant autumn foliage. Balsam varieties offer many colors and a camelias like look, while columbine remains a delightful old favorite in golden white and purple tones for varied bed schemes.
Press gleanings offer wry bits from Texas to Michigan. Jests joke about auto weddings, trusts and a starved Zapata county, a cat in a wheel, islanders in need, and a nervous groom at a church as a bride is welcomed.
