Du Maurier's Life and Poker Tale From Washington Post
The Washington Post recounts Du Maurier's upbringing in France and England, his failed eyesight, and early success with Punch. It also describes a legendary San Francisco poker game where Lucky Baldwin and a cattleman wagered huge sums, Baldwin winning with four aces against four queens. The tale blends biographical notes with a vivid frontier gambling anecdote.

Why the Shopsman Got Cross and a Missing Husband
A humorous tale from a newly opened haberdashery features a window display boast “Any article removed from the windows.” A customer asks for a bright item, the shopman complies, and the patron mocks the sign. An earlier London Letter narrates a disappearance saga of a man who later reappears as a crossing sweeper. A Tacoma Ledger item describes stormy weather gulls using logs to flip and eat harbor barnacles.
