Howie Slick Tries to Barter a Bonnet for Less
A humorous tale shows Mr. Slick challenging a milliner to an eight dollar bonnet, wager the price was twelve, and triumphing by negotiating down to eight while his wife recounts a nearby bargain of four dollars. He proves a buyer’s edge in a comic bonnet caper.

Oldest and Coldest Town Jakutsk in Siberia
Humboldt reports Jakutsk, a 5 000 inhabitant town in Eastern Siberia, as the world’s oldest and likely coldest. Ground stays frozen to 300 feet except midsummer thrice thawing at the surface. Yearly mean temperature is 15.7 degrees. In Anguat ten days reach 85. From November to February Lena river stays frozen nine months. Mosquitoes as a mystery not. Lisle-thread gloves not legal tender for a bet with a pretty girl.
