Bob's Bargain Comes Crashing Down in Dockyard Yard
In a London stable yard Sam pressures Bob to buy a tarnished pair of patent boots for eighteen pence. Bob saves one and fourpence halfpenny for a new jacket, but the boots burst as he struggles to fit them, revealing that cheap can be ruinously deceitful. A moral thread about thrift and temptation runs through a courtroom anecdote and a jest about a wife’s tellings.

Furthest-Back Good Thing for Cleveland Base Ball Club
The Cleveland Leader humorously extols a fictional 1872 base ball club. It details a pitcher who throws with such speed the ball turns to ashes, a reserve who can pierce eighteen inches of oak, a catcher with hands like a hammer and a mower wide stance, and fielders with extraordinary feats. The piece parodies athletic bravado, praising the manager, scorer, and overall confidence of the club while lampooning exaggerated training regimens and improbable skills.
