The Dollar Bill That Changed a Life
Luke Ruddilove, a former tavern patron, receives a dollar from Mrs. Pratter on a stormy night. He vows to reform, avoids drink, and later prospers with a new home funded by the bill. He returns the debt in a different form by helping others, while the Squire and Mrs. Pratter reflect on the decision. The bill is placed in the corner-stone of a new house and an oilcloth gift follows.

A fragment discusses the habit of women carrying water jars on their heads in Hindostan and Italy. It notes this practice strengthens back muscles and chest posture and suggests teaching children, in boarding schools and private homes, to adopt the method. The piece quotes Dr Spry on potential educational value and a Neapolitan example of perfect balance.

Trouble from a Grain of Wheat Causes Narrow Airway Threat
Mr F C Newell chased grain from a field, chewed a grain with beard sticking to it, and the grain lodged in his throat causing throat swelling and breathing trouble. Two doctors recommended steaming to reduce swelling and relax muscles. He recovered and warns against wheat in future. The Wisconsin Supreme Court rules money lent on Sunday cannot be recovered.
