Fragments From A Busy Train and A Postmaster Tale

A countryman jokes about a girl’s gymnastics as a boy calls it gymnastics. A man explains he pulled a train bell rope to wake the porter for a bed. A woman buys a windy fan while paying for the smaller wind. A farmer learns an elevator ride beats walking up, after entering a cellar door. Old Hickory defends a postmaster who once fought at Stony Point.

A Goop Dreps Reward and the Snake Charmers Tale

A Boston transcript recounts a printer's mishap when a foreman’s elaborate job collapses into a pit, the office boy using a mallet to save the scene but losing his position. A second feature describes Indian snake charmers who tame snakes with a jangling flute and reclaim payment after clearing compounds, then releasing the reptiles elsewhere.
