It Will Do A Lesson On Slothful Work Habits
A series of vignettes shows how characters justify slipshod effort with the refrain It will do. Sam Dipple cheats by mixing colors on a job and loses favor with his employer, while a wife’s casual mending erodes her husband’s respect. A Sunday school teacher clumsily covers Selfishness with a flawed Bible example, learning the price of half measures.

Great Horned Owl and Other Owls in Country Life
A readable piece describes the Great Horned Owl's size, nocturnal habits, and fearsome cry, then contrasts with the Sparrow Owl and Barn Owl. It notes diet including mice, frogs, and birds, bone-plucking behavior, and a tale of a mother owl feeding a trapped baby. Also mentions owls in Greenland and the value of politeness in business as stratagem.
