A San Francisco man recounts a solitary night in a front room with a bed, hearing repeated gate thumps and burglars, then discovers the noises were a wind driven by loose blinds. He imagines an endless procession of intruders, only to realize the “burglar train” was a figment of nerves.
A Philadelphia Press tale recalls Edith Rockefeller, daughter of John D. Rockefeller, buying a desk with classmates. When asked how to cover the balance, she suggested her father’s Broadway office, and the dealer learned her lineage, exclaiming upon hearing Rockefeller name. The anecdote ends with the desk shipped and her thanks. The piece also notes a major general’s salary of 7,500 dollars.
A polished gentleman from judicial circles recalls a childhood incident when he, shy and spoonless at dinner, feared stealing the host’s tableware. A terrier chases a cat into the room, chaos erupts, and the youth calmly asks for a spoon to avoid embarrassment.
A prized cat slipped from a window on Central Park West and walked along the cornice to a neighboring window before returning after a reprimand. The next day neighbors complained the feline lingered and peered into a room while a flute practice continued for two hours daily.
