The piece recounts a deadly Harrisburg train wreck caused by a telegraph operator ignoring safety rules. It argues that rigid adherence to procedures prevents collisions, while human judgment under pressure risks catastrophe, warning that disobedience can cost lives and employers money. It contrasts this with a rural column about aging and nostalgia, ending with folksy verse.
A collection of rural political quips and proverbs quivering with dialect humor. It satirizes politicians and voters highlighting distrust, corruption, and stubborn beliefs while lampooning stump speeches and public life through colorful rural wisdom.

A discussion of the diverse ways fishes take in food. Some possess teeth in the tongue throat or stomach, others suction prey like the sturgeon, while the star fish envelops prey by turning its stomach inside out.
