A National Lice Stock Journal essay highlights how minor inefficiencies in home layout waste time. It calculates that a chore boy walking extra steps daily adds up to about eighteen days a year, urging forethought to reduce interruptions and boost productivity through better pump, wood-shed, and kitchen access planning.
In Beaverkill country a gander goose lured predators to a trap with continually improved bait. A weasel first, then a skunk, hawks, a red fox, another skunk, a dog, and finally a wildcat snagged the trap. The goose survived to lure more victims before ending up in a pig sty.
An Arkamean Traveler tale recounts Colonel Honely contrasting stinginess with frugality through John Norwing the soda seller. Norwing hoarded water and even feared burial costs, confessing he could not afford a grave and complained of paying five cents for poison. The jest highlights extreme thrift and its final irony as he dies without a struggle, lamenting expenses after death. Simpkins’ fourth marriage anecdote closes the piece.
