How Pins Are Made in a 19th Century Machine

Line placid shadows and the drummer's heaven in Huntingdon
A fragmentary travelogue sketches Huntingdon Pennsylvania as a site of touring sailors and apparent prohibition era vice. It depicts a crowd around a street scene, notes about white dresses, strings of girls labeled as “drummer's heaven,” and a sense of moral decline with Sundays stone dead and bans on card games and gambling. The piece blends travel imagery with social commentary on the town's reputation and behavior.

West Story of Healey and the Horse Thieves
A fragmentary tale recalls Mr Healey pursuing a gang of horse thieves near Fort Benton. Healey confronts the men, recovers saddles, and recaptures horses as they flee, with one thief captured later. The piece shifts to a distant note about Balize in Mississippi and historical references to Vespucci and early Venezuelan names.

One in 149910 for a deadly railway ride and death odds
A long chemise of puzzling figures from an Interstate Commerce Commission report asks about the risk of a man taking a 24 mile ride for suicide. It calculates a roughly one in 1441010 chance of death by rail accident, then uses grotesque hypotheticals to illustrate the futility and danger of attempting self-harm, while mocking the idea with a string of comic asides from a sensational broadsheet.
