A report recounts a man named Michael Duserty bitten by a Gila monster while near a railroad. The reptile struck the left wrist, causing severe swelling and a rapid decline despite whiskey and ammonia antidotes. Native tribes fear the creature, which is described as a venomous, lobster‑like lizard linked to rattlesnakes and legend.
A rambling anecdote set at a hotel table recounts two men discussing a German salt request, with a woman saying she knows no German yet replies “Thank you.” The tale, tied to a Georgia courthouse wedding joke, ends with a rustic blessing and a pumpkin gift as the parson jokes over wedding costs.
A garbled fragment outlines the Arizona gila monster with dark brown skin, four stubby legs, and a venomous bite. It notes its harsh habitat, jaw strength, double-row teeth, and the venom in saliva, plus Indigenous beliefs and a stinging tale about Pat Noonan in New York markets. Also includes stray anecdotes about cab drivers and alligator meat.

A child at Honer's window eyes a large candy man in a coffee shop display and, with a wistful sigh, asks his mother to let him lick the figure. The moment captures a shy, innocent craving seen through a torn, early 20th century newspaperman's lens.
A rambling column surveys weight and fashion among notable figures, judges, and artists, noting bulk among legal minds, musicians, and writers. It juxtaposes portraits of persons of substance with anecdotes, including a sailor’s anecdote and a courtly tale of porcelain and jewels.
Canon Ringer, a popular temple figure in London, surprises by publishing a bold essay on Prince Max of Saxony and preparing for the doctorate. The aged scholar Dr Vavahan guides him, while Ringer contemplates a clerical path that may delay his public ascent.
