A nostalgic poem recalls a child’s shadow dancing on a wall, seen years ago under lamplight, and again in gaslight tonight, as a father imagines his daughter and remembers a father’s good night kiss. The verses convey memory, affection, and the enduring image of a shadow as a stand-in for presence.
A column mocks prohibition mania and comical pet topics while noting Iowa figures like J. H. Craig of Iowa City. It lampoons editors, reports dehorning cattle in Chicago markets, questions artificial rain trials, and lauds state rail rate reforms and the Oskaloosa Herald’s full county board supplement approach.
