In a 1909 scene a tall man and a stout man quarrel in a street confrontation. The lean man deflects insults with quips as the stout man menaces with an umbrella and vows a beating before the car moves away. The exchange ends without injury.
The piece recounts a humorous, rambling tale of Alexander the Great told as if by a wry contemporary observer. It blends anecdotes of battles, horses, elephants, and misread legends with playful claims about Delphic oracles and Persians. It ends with a portrait of a man who died drunk, and a mock final quip about orders.
A man claims a balloon route with body and thought transference crossed the Atlantic in five hours. He describes rising above Liverpool, using a balloon to wait for the earth to rotate, then descending in New York Central Park. He notes returning would take nineteen hours.
A light humorous note about a newlywed couple and a frugal miscommunication over weekly money. The page shares a joke from Seattle Argus, then offers a tip on making a footrest for invalids from carpet remnants, and closes with a trade ad for U.S. Sheep Din.
