A collage of juvenile classroom pieces, lectures on Clothes, riddles, tales from Wide Awake and Mrs Diaz. The excerpt recounts a Barn Hall lecture by John Spicer, witty anecdotes on clothing care, and didactic stories about poor boys Oliver and Edward, urging resilience and character over attire.
A Dalton, Georgia origin parcel weighing about 130 pounds was sent to a Green Street preacher in New York with a C. O. D. of $35. It contained an eighteen year old girl, sent by parents to New York to prevent loss or damages. The Adams Express Messenger Hesse ensured safe transit via Washington Jersey City and Cortlandt Street before delivery at No. 59 Broadway and Greene Street. The tale, presented by the New York Times, ends with Hesse hoping for growth of this odd freight service. Additional notes mention a Virginia preacher found dead in a hog pen and various remarks on Connecticut temperance and clergy, plus Philadelphia streetcar workers dismissed for fare theft.
