Little Shavers and the First Dandelion Wish
A child and mother share a spring walk as a dandelion is spurned by a talking insect in a vignette, while family voices reveal playful child behavior and fanciful dialogue from other readers. The piece presents a whimsical scene of children and a grandmother with snippets of witty claims about wealth and appearance.
Notable figures and odd contrasts in early stories
The piece contrasts Jay Gould clinging to a ten cent piece as proof of restraint with Silas B Cobb who, despite giving a large sum to Chicago university, started life penniless at about age 21 and is now over 80. It notes Bishop Merrill as the first metropolitan bishop promoted from itinerant preaching, highlighting his uncommon education.
