A dog jealousy passage follows, contrasting human and canine longing and loyalty.
A Western saloon tale of a tenderfoot outsmarted by a bartender and three sharpers. In a dollar limit game the con artists used nods and a surreptitious sixth card to cheat, while the victim devoured a sandwich and whisky, then calmly left with winnings. The crowd gasped at the final trick reveal.

Prominent western educator blames girls for high school boys cigarette habits. He calls for girls to refuse dating boys who smoke, arguing men also smoke and must change. The piece shifts to a candid autobiography claiming a wife can reshape a husband, detailing its self-proclaimed strategies.
A captain raconteurs in a goof about straw hat trees in the tropics. He claims wild and cultivated trees produce hats, with sizes marked like 6% and 714, ripening in a month from May 15 to June 15. The pilot grows exasperated as ribbons fuel the tall tale until a foghorn ends the yarn.
A traveler waits thirty minutes for a delayed train and jokes with a porter about the wait.
