The Talking Dog and the Temptation of Jerry
In a Mississippi river tale, a planter Thompson and his son Bill recount a yarn about a dog named Jerry. Bill seeks a dog talk school after his father's temperance orders, drinks aboard a steamer, and Jerry dies when kicked during a dispute. Bill excuses his act with a wild confession and the father quietly awards him money while hinting Jerry may have watched them.

The Editor's Bore and Other Fragments
The item presents a verse on the nuisance of a constant critic and backseat editor who never leaves, followed by scattered notes on farming tips for hogs and cholera preventives, and a quip about gender cost expectations. The tone resembles a late 19th century newspaper miscellany.
Ice drift may reshape climate and raise future costs
The article argues a major shift in Arctic ice flow via Hudson Strait brings icebergs toward the Grand Banks and Davis Strait, potentially warming lapses and cooling effects near Lake Superior. It compares surface ice movement to ocean currents and notes possible climate impacts and future development shifts. A separate item reports Mount Hercules as 32,786 feet high in New Guinea, surpassing Everest, with Capt. Lawson's ascent described.
