In Cedar Gulch a young teacher Della Angell contemplates life and a budding romance with Frank Richards, a prospector who saved her from a laborer’s assault during schooling days. The tale follows their evolving relationship amid frontier town life and local hardships.
Delia, a Cedar Gulch teacher, rejects Reginald Poogerten as a refined suitor, while a coarse prospector Frank Richards remains her sympathetic foil. She reads Lincoln to pupils, receives a perfumed marriage plea, and discards the letter, then departs past Uncle Frank’s cabin where the prospector studies a dictionary by candlelight as she tears the note to pieces in the cold night.
Description recalls a Christmas season custom at Savoy chapel London after Nell Gwynne's death. An orange was placed on the alms plate on Sundays after Christmas to honor the orange girl famed for generosity. The practice survived as a charity reminder in church rites.
A historical sketch recalls the Isle of Wight’s war haunted past with Romans, Jutes, Saxons, and Danes, and notes repeated French threats from the 14th to 16th centuries, including 1377 to the burning of Yarmouth and the devastation of Newport.

In Indianapolis the return of Major Fred Bates Johnson recalls a long-buried tale. He used to visit Salem for weekends with Walter Crim and would slip into Crim’s lumber yard, waiting for arrivals or a call to the shack. A log hauler claimed a suspect, a “yellow hair” man, cracked Crim’s safe, but the source found that the “suspicious” visitor was not the culprit.
In Judge Guerin s court in Chicago the Otto Maths murder case unfolded over whether a curling iron could be a deadly weapon. Otto claimed Edward attacked him with the iron, prompting the stabbing. The judge ruled describing the weapon unnecessary, noting everyone knew what a curling iron is. Spectators joked about its danger and looks. Jurors reacted, the youngest appearing relieved.
A French proposal suggests using dynamite to break soil surfaces and drive fertilizer into the ground to revive orchards damaged by shell fire. The plan envisions cartridges of fertilizer around explosive cylinders ignited by a Culminating charge, creating a deep cavity for young trees, covered with fertilized soil. The idea extends to using surplus war explosives to reclaim deserts and irrigate battlegrounds by trenching and road work through staged explosions.
In an orbit of cave exploration in South Berk shire Connecticut Jack Newboy recalls a rabbit hunt muddled by a dog.
