A breezy miscellany of dog tales and tiny moral snippets. A devoted dog, a dog in clothing, and a wood-fetching pup illustrate bond and humor. Also includes Barnum crowd control, optical illusion notes, a Norwich bishop encounter, and a child’s bedtime plea.
A frontier wedding tale aboard a B and O line baggage car unfolds as Ann Eliza Perkins and a drummer marry amid gunfire from her furious father. The bogus parson seals the ceremony, the train reaches Quincy, and the couple are truly wed, while the shaken father blubbers in relief.
A column of anecdotes shows how laughter at critical moments harmed powerful figures. Baron Enidoff loses his post after a Kaiser joke, Milbanke fades from favor for wounding humor at Potsdam, and cautionary tales warn that kings notice ribbing. The piece pairs Roosevelt anecdotes with early musings on wireless telegraphy and Hardy's unpublished first novel.
