A Happy Boy and a cryptic verse fragment
A fragmentary verse passage references a cheerful boy and a speaker arguing about age and truth. The lines mix informal dialect and playful challenges, mentioning a Baptist context and a numeric tease about being "mest 100."
New York Rope Walk Remains A Hand Made Trade
In a vacant lot at One Hundred and Eleventh Street and Amsterdam Avenue a lone rope walk survives in New York City. A rope walker spins hemp by hand around a large wheel as a boy turns the mechanism and a spinner guides threads into a top. The finished rope, smoother with flour paste when hemp is rough, is stronger but sold at higher prices and in shorter lengths than machine made rope, which runs from 1 to 2 cents a yard. The manual method outlasts machines in longevity though not in cost.

A proposed law for old age pensions faces strong opposition in France, critics arguing the pension age of sixty five is higher than the average French worker’s lifespan and that workers would not save from wages for benefits they may not enjoy. An Irish nurse's quip about paying to fly the flag at half mast after death illustrates distrust of such benefits.

The piece notes the owner conducts services and invites all, yet attendance remains low as workers often pray at home.
