Judgment of the Dead in a Jewish Stable Tale
In a Hungarian translated tale, an old Jewish man dies in Nathan Weiss's stable. Elders suspect theft of 500 guilders found in the dead man’s pocket but lacking proof. Judge Simon Schwarz stages a midnight ritual where Nathan swears he did not steal, then the hand grips him and the truth emerges that the money is hidden under the bake trough. The elders hail the dead man’s wisdom as Solomon-like.

Wayne MacVeagh as Possible Attorney General Pick
Rumors swirl around cabinet changes after March 4 as Attorney General Griggs is believed to retire due to private affairs. Wayne MacVeagh, a 67 year old Pennsylvania native and Yale graduate, is mentioned as a potential successor.

For the Farmer and the Western Ranges
An article by T. A. Cinten discusses alfalfa as a newer American forage crop, outlining soil, climate, and seed bed requirements. It notes regional variability, best seeding times, weed management, and the need for careful trial, plus alfalfa as an adjunct to pastures rather than a sole forage source. It also connects alfalfa to addressing range cattle pressures and suggests irrigation via artesian wells.
