A garbled miscellany quotes donalds and locals from varied sources with humorous asides on morals, theft, marriage plans, and social pretenses. Notable bits reference a donkey skeleton remark, a Tennessee citizen, a thermometer gone missing, a rich Oshkosh educator, an elopement, and Broadway rent chatter.
A Letter Box anecdote from St Nicholas recounts a bustling spelling bee at Mr Henderson's ministerial home where strong word play and slips spark laughter among students. Jim Connor and Mary Knowles shine, while words like ipecac and saccharine test memory and nerves. The piece ends with hope for another contest and fond reminiscence of the event. The Little Loaf tells of Frances who shares quiet virtue, finds silver in bread, and learns blessings come to those content with little.
