Stray Topics From Little Old New York
A collage of essays and notes on credit frauds and roguish adventurers, a squirrel census in Central Park, and rail travel misfits. It laments honest men crushed by loan sharks while fraudsters prosper, cites Foster and Meyers cases, and recalls Belasco’s wary sponsorship. A park census notes fewer squirrels, possible restocking, and woes of luxury.

Star Teeth Joke and Pocketed Sixpence in London
A mixed plate of light items begins with a breakfast joke about a pupil insulting a “star teeth” master and a puzzled father. Then a geographic note describes grass raincoats in tropical Mexico made from woven native grasses providing full rain protection. Other items include a skater coachman mishearing, Stevenson and a beggar, St Peter directing to souvenir cards, and a man seeking a thrifty wife but preferring a rich one.
