Fireplaces and a crafty cracker box trap
A tale from the San Francisco News Letter recounts a bachelor bungalow in Tiburon where a charming fireplace fails to draw when guests arrive. Polk installs a cracker box atop the chimney to test the puzzle, revealing mischievous friends who cover the chimney to spoil his entertaining. It ends with a cautious note on opium as a global issue, detailing production, trade to China, and severe penalties for use in ancient and modern times. The Atlanta Constitution adds historical context on opium's reach and punishment.
