A household near the rail line shares comic New Year misfires and resolved plans. Ned races to catch a first train on December 31 as a volcano joke and a wedding clock loom large. The tale highlights timing, forgetfulness, and family chaos in a light, humorous tone.
A ranch superintendent Frank Mason and a captive New Year party guest Anna Seamans clash over escape plans as a cattle herd threatens the rear private car. Mason ferries Anna to safety after a fall, reveals he owns 11 10 ranch, and the pair bond aboard the train while a wireless fix brings them back before Chicago.
A reflective piece argues for making New Year resolutions and not sneering at those who break them. It urges self discipline, honesty with oneself, and turning resolve into action, noting the value of starting anew while avoiding vanity and moral laxity. The essay promotes striving for higher conduct as a communal and personal renewal.
