The piece celebrates Christmas as a universal festival of peace and kindness. It recalls Jesus welcoming children and urges protecting and cherishing childhood. It contrasts harsh history with a hopeful vision where charity, schools, and homes for exposed and orphaned children flourish.
A Craftaman writer reflects on how adults lose the childlike freshness that let Stevenson speak true for children. The text notes the season’s urge to divert the young from that spell and the accompanying illustration evokes the child’s realm.
The article argues that childhood is central to Christian civilization and that toys should reflect simple art, offering realistic replicas and safe playthings. It envisions a Christlike spirit spreading through society, urging parents to give gifts, support the poor, and nurture children with gentle, constructive toys.
The piece notes widespread public and press fascination with religion from General Booth to hymns, Bible plays, and church leaders, citing global interest from Britain to France and the United States, and contrasting political power with religious influence in everyday life. It highlights the enduring impact of religious figures and events on society and politics.
A weathered fragment praising Christmas generosity and universal happiness spreading from Bethlehem. It notes people everywhere celebrate with gifts and song, from the North to the South, and envisions a world where peace endures year-round.
A Kentucky Courier Journal excerpt recounts Norway’s medieval rulers ending with Haakon V and the shift to foreign rule after 1310. It notes nicknames like Longlegs and Bloodaxe, the ongoing war with Denmark, and the line of succession through Haakon’s daughter leading to foreign sovereignty.
A strict minister recalls a summer day when his dignity slipped in the pulpit. Voices from a neighboring house drifted through open windows as a hush fell after prayer until a bawdy exchange about nails in a coffee pot broke the moment. The tale reflects on fame, skull legends, and the quirks of public life.
In a small town a man detained for a few days visits a shoe shop to buy insoles for number eight double A shoes. He jokes about wearing them in his shoes and mentions luncheon filet solo as a reason, leaving the clerk puzzled. The piece ends noting mental power helps sustain the body.
The reader is given a collage of quirky quotes and dialog fragments from a late 19th or early 20th century column. It includes references to mystic groups, beauty doctors, slang samples, and casual banter about money and time, all with a newspaperish, streetwise tone.

The article notes government Service numbers, bids for Manila wharf projects, and various diplomatic and national items. It mentions Navy powers, cholera in the Philippines, and global political shifts with multiple named individuals and places.
Six masked robbers used nitroglycerin to blast the Suffield Savings Bank and breach the station, injuring no one. Watchman William Jones and his twelve year old son were bound, later freeing themselves as locals mobilized a posse. The haul included securities worth about 3000, but some bonds valued at 50000 were left untouched.
A colorful quotation from the New York Evening Journal imagines a heated exchange where one speaker extorts a penny from Algernon. The line fuses slang and comic bravado to hint at coercive humor rather than a concrete event.
A jumble of cartoon captions and quips from multiple papers features humor about heaven for the good, charity for the poor, car culture, wartime industry, and grand opera opinions. The snippets include misquote dialogue, a faux religious teachable moment, and social satire.
The New York Court of Appeals sustained the mayor and Corporation Counsel in the William R. Wearst ballot box case but ruled the court cannot compel opening of ballot boxes under the election law. The decision ends attempts to gain access to hand boxes and leaves the contest status quo.
