A Fort Marcy court martial tale recounts Private Wilkins accused of leaving duty. Colonel John Brierly recalls his own frontier romance with Mercedes Brierly the Wood Dove an Apache bride who saved his life in a New Mexico battle. The colonel plans to defend Wilkins and seeks a reprimand rather than harsher punishment.
A cynical proverb set as dialogue mocks the justice system. It notes an indicted man may avoid conviction if no witnesses testify. The piece then jokes that a man's friends are those with longest unpaid accounts, and recalls a woman's pocket book lacking money as the true ledger.
A discussion on women’s independence cites a physician’s view that sustained single life may erode youthfulness and maritual prospects. The piece argues social pressures push women toward marriage after education and early career, warning of maladaptation for domestic life.

A telegraph operator describes common transmission blunders from officers and customers alike. Mixing numbers fifteen and fifty and misreading endings like th as ty cause costly errors, while unique slips such as confusing ninety-nine with Lulu illustrate the quirks of Morse-like signals.
