At a luncheon two businessmen teased each other about thrift as hereditary. They recalled their fathers’ frugality, joking that one father ran a grocery and dusted sugar with a broom, the other farmed bees and mingled plants for strawberries. They finished with a drink.
A ragged set of verses and sketches recounts a long ago scene of orchard theft, a boy outwitting an owner who threatens punishment, and a humorous parlor anecdote about a young man and a mischievous child. It ends with a wry note from London Tit-Bits.
The fragmentary piece portrays a talkative magistrate and a witty intelligent witness, with a comic exchange about a city magnate and a would be poet Hawkins. It shifts to a sentimental line about a boy and gravity and ends with a joke about dating chorus girls in comic operas.
A humorous Victorian style anecdote describes a grand duchess inviting Lord Macduff to dinner and his secretary’s refusal via a piper reply. In another tale an old man recalls seeing his dead master, confessing he believed it after a joking claim of spilled whiskey and a “jummy-john” in his hands.
A brief exchange portrays a tense misalignment in motive with The Heiress questioning marriage while The Applicant minimizes commitment by noting limited home time. The lines read as a compact, ironic sketch of romance and practicality in dialogue form.
A lighthearted classroom scene centers on a Sunday school lesson about the prodigal son. A superintendent asks which audience member objected to a proposed banquet and a distant voice remarks The calf. A drummer reports monthly results while a firm head notes one expense bill exceeded expectations. Willie-Watman answers the mid term query on medium of exchange by naming the book.
A brass band teacher argues at a political meeting that musicians must perform multiple times to air the event. The exchange highlights the tension between entertainment and speeches during the evening.
Sandy Pikes recalls a rare moment in his career when he wished to be inside out after Billy asked. Dilly Goalgate asks when it happened, and Sandy explains being taken to a hospital and given alcohol.
A Philadelphia Press column features wry, fragmentary quips about impressions and illusions. Dialogues touch on empty ideals, overcuts, timid ladies and a tobacconist dodging donations with humor. A jab at the Gathmann gun shows uneven outcomes and everyday absurdities in brief snippets.
A Cardiff Times note promotes St Jacobs Oil as a cure for sprained ankles with a Mrs G Thomas of Alexandra Road Gelli Pontypridd testimony. It lauds medical approval, medals, and urges readers to rely on the remedy while previewing advertising tips and other assorted copy.
A German university tutor earns 25 to 30 dollars monthly while professors hope for about 100 dollars a month. Some dependent professors earn not more than 300 or 400 dollars yearly. Pay largely stems from student attendance and popularity, with compensation tied to ability and demand.
