Emerson and Coburn as Cranks in a Kansas Diary
In a Boston lecture a self conscious speaker named Emerson draws scorn from James on Clarke and John Quincy Adams, while Foster Dwight Coburn’s alfalfa crusade in Kansas turns into a grand success. The author reflects on changing fads and foresees future mockery of today’s “cranks” and their ideas.

Telegraph Tales of Love and Lapses at Home
A jumble of short items from a telegraph column recounts misadventures of romance and marriage. A man trims a branch of trouble after a bridge jump, a wife accuses a mistress of stealing a lover and a $100,000 apartment. A Kansas City iron worker dodges chores, a wife poisons over dishes, and a husband flees. A stern warning about a hunted husband precedents. A rural Iowa teacher wins damages for slander, while an elderly Jewish home scandal provokes odd commentary. Giraffe prices surge from 1500 to 7500, with a possible bargain at 5000.
