Trembling Telemachist Girl and a Railro ad Rescue Tale
A young telegraph operator recalls a perilous day four years ago when a southbound train risked disaster. He raced on his bicycle to overtake a fuel stop, grabbed the bell cord of the last car, and signaled the train to back into the station. The stunt left him with brain fever but saved directors aboard from a possible wreck. Nearby, a humorous street encounter in Griswold Street features a drunk man joking about bank plans, while a long miscellany of poems and pieces follows, including a Swiss legend of Tell and humor about a marble stepping-stone.

Quick as a whip blacksmith test for a boy’s speed
A string of clipped anecdotes from old newspapers features a barefoot boy’s trial with a blacksmith, a picnic scene with an overworked mother, stray-phrenology quips, a jokey shoe store tale, and era advertisements for tonics and remedies. It blends humor with street vignettes and character sketches.
