Homeless Woman Finds Refuge Then Death in Poor House
A weary woman seeking shelter in Lookout Chattanooga climbs from a storm wracked mountain valley to a one story poor house. After wandering deliriously through rain and lightning she is taken in and spends the night in delirium. Dawn brings hope as she clings to life, but she dies beside a newborn in the poor house, later interred with a simple tablet reading Alice Mother and Child. The tragedy ends with a stark moral placed on a tablet: I was sick and you took me in.

Indiscriminate kissing sparks old Boston tale
A Boston police dispute over a kiss leads to notes on nurse care and child safety. Mrs Eila Churchill of St Joseph accuses Patrolman Joseph Martin of firing at her daughter’s suitor during a kiss, while the officer says he mistook a kiss for a burglary. A 1640 Boston ordinance on street kissing prompts sharper social commentary.
