Humorous Anecdotes From An 19th Century Page
A collage of gags and local color from a dated page includes a colored juror quip in Iowa, a New York suburb chestnut thief nabbed by a wary shopkeeper, a lawyerly response to insult, Sheridan and Fox misadventures, a hopeful Worcester Farmer joke, a Bible classing misread, and an Irishman freezing with a dog in January caustically teased by his wife.
