About 2500 youths work as messengers and telegraph boys in New York City. Half serve the American District Telegraph Company, the rest across three other firms. The boys mostly live in the city, from tenement districts, and are from humble families. Applicants are asked their residence and their plans if faced with difficulties.
An 1892 article explains how telegraph and messenger services recruit and train large numbers of boys in New York. It details qualification screening, discipline, pay progression from 3.50 to 5.50 weekly, and a record system tracking misconduct. It notes career paths into telegraphy, offices, brokers, and rail service, with many leaving the field within months.
Theodore Roosevelt extols elk as prime western game noting their limited range in Rockies and Oregon Washington, their majestic size and horns, and the season behavior of bulls with harems. He recounts an 1891 hunt encounter with a bull elk, stalking through pines to a clash of antlers and a decisive double shot ending the chase.
In 1864 Hillsboro endures siege as hospital wards fill old Tem perance Hall and refugee crowds gather. Joe Maxwell recalls a tense reunion with former friends Mr Deometari and Blandford while Mr Pr uitt’s desertion ties to a relief committee unfolds amid Laurel Mill retreat memories and a perilous mountain trek.
A humor item notes a contractor asking double pay for street cleaning while a citizen questions the need, joking that there was no cleaning last year and implying more dirt this year.

The narrative describes elk combat with neck and shoulder armor, a near fatal interruption, and two combatants injured by gunfire. A ranch cowboy later chased a trotting elk on a pony, forced a gallop, and roped the animal but could not stop it until another rider shot it.
West Side cook Aunt Chloe questions a small Bible she holds in the family sitting-room. The mistress confirms it is a Bible. A dialogue follows about the word on a page and its meaning, with mischief and confusion in the exchange.
