Ribus and roughhouse items from a Boston Chicago column
A Parisian of insomnia jokes and a house dispute lead to a string of brief comic sketches. Anecdotes span a Boston lady misinterpreting insomnia as rats, a mail depot jab about parcels, a late‑night husband’s “busy” work, and a bank job offer joke. The page also carries cures and ads for patent medicines and salves.
