Remarkable Courage of Clear Lake Farmer Howe
Marion Howe, a farmer from Clear Lake Wisconsin, amputated his own leg after a tree fell and pinned it while he was half a mile from home. He crawled to his team, bound the wound, unloaded the logs, and drove home for a doctor. A parade incident in the Capital City shows a white-haired colonel warming his glove with a bottle hidden inside, while viewers urged sharing the flask. DeBell's Kidney Pills advertised as kidney health aid. Overstocks of window glass prompt sale by Bianry & Co.

A New York gossip item recounts Julia Marlowe giving $6 to a needy man backstage hoping to secure a railway job.

Manly conduct and education urged in schools and West Point critique
The article argues for teaching boys and girls to be angely and womanly in all dealings, condemns playground bullying and hazing seen at West Point, and urges home and public schools to shape true bravery.
