A mosaic of witticisms and vignettes from a Scranton column includes jokes about cats and teacups, curious misprints, a brokered reformer, and local curiosities. Anecdotes touch on Jamaica coffee plans, convict labor, schoolboys, and a bridal-behavior misadventure, all framed in a late 19th century voice.
