A Dollar or Two and a Humorous Slice of Life
A rambling column threads verses about the value of money and a social portrait of Miss Catharine Jones, a Wisconsin style tale of love, mischief, and a couple’s modest fortunes. The piece blends witticisms, rural anecdotes, and a long Mr Tomkinson tale about Maggie Rush, Williamsons’s courtship, and a practical, cheerful ending.
