Irreverent Bits From The City And World Spotlight
In Kentucky grasshoppers are described as inveterate tobacco chewers. A Swett street discussion is labeled warm work by Aldermen. A Princeton student’s father cites a felon in relation to a boat race incident. England’s “floating coffins” are criticized as wicker and wicked. A Thames swimmer paraded twenty miles for a wager, and Russia pushes a bold street railway experiment.
