RIBALD TALE AND QUIRKY GOSSIP FROM A BRISTOL PAGE

A collection of humorous vignettes and stray notes from the Bristol press includes playful anecdotes about a Harvard annex for women, social engagements among five students, a Hartford Sunday school miscue, a joke about a doctor and patient, a country editor’s subscription moment, and a Sunday school ticket quip. The page also features a correction about a Civil War era illustration showing how a woman shades her eyes.

Unsest Sessician and a Riverside Prank

In Austin a colored domestic Matilda Snowball faces a light confrontation over wine. The lady of the house accuses her. Matilda jokes that a man named Webber was near the bottle. Laughter follows as the daughter teases and reflects on courtship while a joke about a man measuring arms and waists unfolds. A separate note mentions a Jackson, Michigan prank with a cast iron bullfrog observed by local boys.
