A reflective verse-like piece laments latecomers in queues from barber shops to banks and churches. It mocks the impatient habit of asking How many ahead of me as life ends and St Peter gates close, predicting the final ironic question at the gates.
In a World War era tale, a Confederate scout hides a young girl Eunice during Hatch's Run as gunfire erupts. Years later in New York, Capt. Beverly encounters Miss Eunice, now grown, and discovers she is the Colonel Swift’s adopted daughter. The reunion reveals the missing brother Frank and resolves a long-held postwar mystery.
An old soldier reflects on courage's unreliability in combat. A captain urges troops up a hill, flees after a close shot and is labeled a coward, despite a storied war record. The piece contrasts bravery and panic, ending with a boy’s quizzical question about marrying his widow.
A vivid portrait of a locomotive fireman constant duty on a long trip from New York to Albany. The man governs coal input, boiler water, and steam pressure while watching signals, bells, and curves. He tends water troughs, sand, and floor cleanliness, answering that there is no funny business in his demanding work.
We are growing tailor. It is a universal law of human development that the easier and healthier the conditions of life the greater the increase in personal strength beauty and physique. Francis Galton finds that the average female stature in the upper and middle classes has risen nearly two inches in fifty years. The London parks show tall women and the present average is five feet six to five feet ten inches. A friend notes his sister was tallest twenty two years ago and is now overtopped by younger acquaintance. Turn is reason to apprehend that more depends on what the lawyer says than on what the criminal does.
