James Buckham from Leslie's Weekly evokes winter warmth at home with vivid imagery of the fireplace. The poem contrasts cold夜 and cozy interior, praising the chorus of crackling flames as a brave, hopeful symbol, inviting family to gather and cherish blessings.
A town endures a two week terror by Dandy Jack and a pair of masked robbers. Cashier Oliphant devises a plan, lures Bill and Pete into a heist at a bank, and leads police to capture them. He boasts of the capture, earns civic praise, and receives an autographed letter from Dandy Jack.
The article recounts St Swithin the Winchester bishop famed for humility who asked to be buried outside the church where rain would nurture his grave. Clergy later moved his remains inside the cathedral but a forty day downpour followed, leading monks to build a chapel over the grave and cite Heaven’s warning against disturbing him.
A collection of quips, wits, and brief anecdotes from various papers.

A meditative note on greed contrasts two voices about society and money. Humorous quips connect a line from the Buffalo Courier about Miss Patterson and her unflattering change, tied to a Brooklyn Life remark that her decline began with bicycle riding.
Quotes from Chicago Record and town panels feature a wealthy heiress hero, a critic urging contrasts, and a tramp dialogue about fear of work. A string of witty line exchanges follows with Mr Tillinghast and a philosophical exchange on life’s grind.
A terse editorial style line notes how ongoing quarrels at a boarding house strain residents, with lines about aching arms and dull knives making meals tougher, as a sharp hotel mail reference signals ongoing tension.

In a fragmentary piece, a teacher named Thomas and an undertaker’s son debate cold as a positive and comparative shade while Edith jokes about mistletoe. The odd dialogue weaves life, truth, and a faint kiss challenge into a curious, terse vignette.

Carter’s Supreme Court warning and foresees a destabilizing future under the plan.
