Horace writes in St Nicholas on training horses for U S fire services. The piece describes hoofed motors, the quick horse, and the inverted harness drop system to speed alarms. It contrasts Munich methods with American telegraph alarms and steam engines, and notes daily punitive drills and public safety progress. It also recounts a separate tale of a cow hoarding gold and a lesson on weather in the arctic circle.
In remote New South Wales backcountry a squatters’ steer named Sheep Head Boss grew horns through his eyes, blinding and tormenting him. He terrorized cattle and people until a boundary rider ended his suffering with a Winchester. The horns pressed into the skull as the creature died, preserved later for veterinary study.
A cook at Matos Lumber Camp in Great Bend, Minnesota, reported a bear entering the camp and lifting a bean pot full of baked beans onto its head, dragging the pot as it retreated toward a clearing while workers yelled. The remarkable chase involved teams, a sled tray, and a large pot strapped to the bear’s neck, ending with the bear fleeing up the hill as the cook yelled for aid. Nearby Chicago Chronicle items note youths in Bryok, Muss, practicing cooking and carpentry, and a Philadelphia girl inviting a friend to share candy with Fanny Brow, who supposedly cannot eat much due to an ache.

The text also references travel promotions and unrelated consumer items.
An advertorial text promotes Dr. Ayers Sarsaparilla as a cure for indigestion and dyspepsia.
