The Mack family travels by sleeper to Manaman Beach when a derailment traps passengers and scatters belongings. Baby missing prompts frantic search until Kit Dexter, a brakeman, discovers the child in a lowered berth shelf and reunites mother and child.
The piece celebrates the arrival of spring through vivid descriptions of the bluebird and the song sparrow. It notes the bluebird’s late appearance, its heavenly warble, and the sparrow’s bell like tones, likening a musical sparring match between two song sparrows to a staged duel with a moderator judging the contest.

It warns that germs from putrid matter can kill rapidly when transferred through even minor skin lesions and urges extreme caution when handling animals with septic poisoning.
A compiled sketch recounts Price McGrath a famed turf man who built wealth through gambling on steamboats and at Long Branch. It cites his alleged $20,000 win from a drunken planter and his later operations in New Orleans and St. Louis.
In a drug store a striking young woman asks for Swayne's Ointment for skin diseases and vanishes, leaving behind an oddly dated aside about potato bugs and a crackerjack receipt from H. C. Stelg. The brief vignette blends humor and flirtation in a late 19th or early 20th century flavor.
