Getting His Own Back Prank Ends With Quiet Departure
An irontworker and a friend argued so the worker planned revenge. He knocked at the door at night to wake his foe and claimed a window was open. The wheeze backfired when the other poked his head through the window, prompting a chuckle and a retreat.
Why He Mourned
A vignette from Hierrbody's Magazine recounts O'Flannagan returning home with a black crepe band on his hat. His wife questions the mournful band, and he replies he wears it for her first husband, adding a pointed line about sorrow. The brief tale humorously exposes neighborhood assumptions about grief and loyalty.
