Return of the Prominent Citizen From the Detroit Frou
The famed citizen, supposedly worth a hundred thousand dollars, left for New England for weeks, fearing disruption at home. He returned to find Detroit busy and undisturbed, with neighbors joking that the city stood without his counsel. A humble man had offered to trim trees for four dollars, and the citizen’s absence had apparently caused no fuss.

Church-Going Dog’s Quiet Attendance Long Ago
A Southbridge, Massachusetts pastor recalls a small church dog that attended services each Sunday. The dog would lie at the pew doorway near the pulpit, enter the altar area at the start of the service, face the congregation, and listen attentively. After the closing hymn, it returned to its master’s pew and waited for benediction. When the owner moved townsix weeks later the dog later rejoined the church and pulpit, scratched to be let out, then lay at the pew during the final hymn and never returned to the pulpit. The anecdote, attributed to Rev. Gushing, highlights the dog’s consistent churchgoing memory.
