Notable bungle on a bus exposes gender bias in transit
An odd, rambling dialogue recounts a bus conductor and a woman passenger debating women’s fitness for public transit. The piece blends satire and social commentary with assorted vignettes about manners, memory, and everyday life, mixing quotes from News Benak and Chicago Post style jokes.

Kapt His Word and Other Oddities in Havana
A Havana reporter falls for a planter’s daughter but is rejected as poverty stricken. He seeks Spain, writes poems read by a princess, elopes with her, and is eventually pardoned by Queen Isabella. Also notes on ladies masks in 17th century fashion, horse gaits called rack pace and ambie, Siberian ice bubbles, muskrat musk in perfumery, and musk origins from the forest end stream.
