A Contented Farmer and Odd Readings From Then and Now
A tale opens with Frederick the Great meeting a poor farmer who earns two groschen a day. The farmer explains debts to family, lending, charity, and care for aged parents and sisters, impressing the king who rewards him. Various anecdotes follow: a boy bitten by rats in Tombs prison, Chicago’s first schools and rising pupil counts, hot bricks after a great fire, a London cabman’s grim humor, and a deposed clergyman’s court remark. Also noted are lists of commemorative weddings and a mobile graveyard mystery, plus meteor shower forecasts and political texts on debt and constitutional provisions.
