Widow Bidwell and the editor mock romance ends in empty pockets
In a tale from 1900, Editor Flint of the Weekly Clarion pursues Widow Bidwell with a staged romance built on poetry. A traveling “poet” and a forged fortune keep the ruse alive, while Flint’s scheme backfires as the couple discovers the deception, ending in an unromantic split and mutual loss.

Advantage of Being Wicked
A short tale from Om's Weekly about Evelyn Jones who, while visiting a neighbor after a death, mishears a prayer. Her mother's remark on the good dying young leads the child to ask in prayer to become a bad and use less foe as they hope for a life together. The piece uses humor and childlike mispronunciation to provoke reflection on virtue and mortality.
