Duties and society notes drift through Western life
A collection of aphorisms and short items notes duties to God and society. It mentions Nevada charter rules barring Chinese workers on roads, laughter at lazy workers, six physicians at a princess birth where the baby died, a Dutch maid hiring a cavalier for dances, an umbrella bearer earning double pay, and a North Bend monument fundraising effort likely to fail. A joke about a boy and a teacher ends the snippet.
