Wit and Wisdom Snippets and Humorous Vignettes
A jumble of quips and anecdotes from various papers includes wry observations on arm modesty and scandal, satirical takes on handwriting, and comical translations of fires and carriages. Notable bits cite a Cologne dog tale, a fireman exchange, a Washington musketeer joke, a bishop and rural dean quip, and a North Side car remark about a cigar stump.
What He Would Do in a Duel on the Train
A Detroit Free Press excerpt recalls a scene aboard a New York Central smoking car where a boastful duelist meets a calm interlocutor reading a magazine. When challenged about handling insults or a duel, the quiet man prefers a horsewhipping to dishonor and demonstrates a mock restraint that unnerves the braggart. The exchange shifts to broader talk of national prosperity as the pair disengages.
