A reader lists Byron, Shelley, Holmes, Moore, Wordsworth, Browning, Milton, Scott, Macaulay, Tennyson, Arnold, Longfellow, Shakespeare, Rossetti, Horace, and Omar, confessing indecision about which poet to read. He resolves to sample the Rhymes column by J. K. Bangs in Harper's Weekly.
In Hickey township Dakota a four year feud between the Benedict and Walker families, sparked by a rogue yearling calf, escalates from court suits to insults and a husking-bee fight. A prairie fire forces Mort Benedict to race to save the Walkers, risking life as flames close in. Nellie Walker reappears, and Mort awakens in Will Berry’s room after the blaze. Nellie assures him there is no more feud.
A Chicago style column recalls John Hoey and a comical trespass incident at Hollywood. Hoey, in shabby clothes with a fox terrier, challenged a gun-wielding sportsman who misread him as a laborer, then used the moment to test the man’s hammerless firearm. The tale ends with the sportsman vanishing. Scottish longevity notes and musings on iron’s elemental nature follow, alongside reflections on ancient civilization’s origins and humanity’s beginnings.
The busy harvest season has coconuts ripening simultaneously with all hands gathering and loading carts to a nearby drying ground under the manager’s eye. Nuts are split lengthwise with an ax, dried in the sun, yielding copra that is shipped to landings for bulk transport or oil production, while the oilcake and poonak are sold locally for cattle feed.

Julian Ralph recalls a Mississippi River packet with a fine barber shop and a "washroom" where he and the barber chat as a razor glints between them. The barber jokes about stool availability for a Black assistant and condemns roustabouts, calling them roosters and praising their hard work while hinting at crime under duress.
In Pueblo belief the cougar or puma leads the sixfold pantheon of animal divinities at the cardinal points. The puma ka-bey-de is commander in chief, with buffalo as captain of ruminants, eagle of birds, crotalus of reptiles, and other gods like bear, wolf, and coyote serving hunt roles. Hunters carry a stone image of the patron in incantations during the chase.
Professor B. D. Halsted notes subterranean conditions yield monstrous growths in crops. A cluster of sweet potatoes showed surface fed, all yellow, and half red half yellow specimens. Irish potatoes also produce freaks, with potatoes appearing on branches and underground growths beneath skins unseen until cut.
