Cryptic verse and puzzles decorate early 1900s pages
The page blends verse with humorous essays and puzzle items. It includes a moonlit scene description, odd stanzas, and a sequence of contest prompts and charades. Editorial notes praise puzzle solving, while serial stories and poems add local color to the issue.
Puzzle soaked ballad and charade notices from old paper
A fragmentary page features a苦 ballad of desperation addressed to a mystic knight and editorials on endless puzzles, then a sequence of puzzles and word games such as Citara de, Square, Dalmatig, Cualade, and a Diamond riddle, with scattered author locations like New York City and Santa Clara.
