Clever Prose and odd musings in a Wisconsin page
A sprawling extract of dialog and anecdotes from a Wisconsin paper covers morals, self reliance, politeness as money, and various vignettes. It includes tales of a rustic dentist, a Hartford correspondent, a drunk on a streetcar, a recluse hermit of Gavan's Jat, and notes on holding breath underwater, plus household tips like whitewash recipes.
