A humorous vignette from Success contrasts a man shopping for yellow ribbon with a saleswoman. He clumsily selects from hundreds of shades, improvises measurements, and rushes to catch a train, revealing character by how he spends his spare money after business hours. The piece argues true character shows when people are free from routine.
In Peoria a man nicknamed Uncle Ebb known for long red whiskers slept often in a tree by the town pump. Pedestrians found birds nesting in his whiskers with two tiny eggs after a passerby frightened the bird away. He suspects boys pranked him, the Syacuse Herald reports.
A witty quip argues a professional should be paid for knowledge, not just action. The exchange mocks a young lawyer who believes he knows it all, hinting at fees tied to expertise rather than mere effort.
A columnist recounts a Philippine islander community where men and women share property and earnings. Chiefs act as judges to ensure fair division of children and assets in divorces, and women perform essential labor alongside men. The piece notes family roles vary, with husbands and wives both working, and a baby girl welcomed without gender bias.
The Baker reports Siberian milk is bought frozen in four stick chunks with handles. Milkmen leave one or two chunks at homes. Children bite milk instead of drinking, and winters bring sayings about not breaking milk rather than aplling. Broken milk is valued for pieces, a quart on a stick can be a weapon, and Irkutsk people hang milk on hooks until warmer weather melts it.
London Truth notes that true airman skill requires math ability beyond courage and physical prowess. It cites French night-class flyers as exemplary mathematicians, with Bleriot and Aubrun graduates of major engineering schools. Others pursued mathematics privately through mechanics institutes and night lectures.
A Stray Storica caption presents Mr Meekton’s firm retort to an insinuation he is hen pecked noting he would inform Henrietta of kin if challenged. The exchange features a sharp rebuttal and a sly family reference.
An archival list of suggestive questions for Rev Linscott’s Sunday school lesson on The Crucifixion from Matthew chapters 27 and 28, plus the Resurrection lesson for December 18 1910.
