Cracked Yarns and Odd Tales From Wandering Shooters

A collection of humorous snippets contrasts a headachy man failing to tell a joke with a water requesting coachman and a Kentucky dentist who bores a mule’s tooth until the drill strikes the animal’s soul. The piece recalls Rome’s Annales Mazina and a tall tale of the Nationals in Virginia, ending with a gag about a game cock mishap and a dead silence among the listeners.

Stirring roadside tale from Vicksburg Herald

A citizen on Jackson road reports a strange scene as a man atop a tree ignores questions while a woman from a fence corner wields a club and warns that worse carnage awaits. She promises a quit claim deed of the farm if the man drops down for two minutes.
