A poetic excerpt describes a night scene with a white world under a mild moon and lilies blooming. The speaker hears star songs from pole to pole, senses dream shapes in the air, and feels a mystic music within. A sense of heavenly openness and celestial angels accompanies a charged, luminous mood.
Ezra Shaw and Philip Westbrook survive a sudden Tehachapi flood after camping in the dry river bed. A wall of brown water, aided by drift and barbed wire, sweeps their wagon, horses, and equipment toward the cottonwood knoll as they fight for survival and later ride out, shaken but alive, noting why Shaw prefers bank camping.
In Japan national holidays center on flower festivals focused on irises. Beds bloom from June 10 to month end with waterlogged marsh beds and grassy banks. Names on posts describe varieties with poetic titles like Voice of a Fine Poem and Teasing Lion. The iris tradition reflects a formal art of arranging flowers tied to festivals and domestic celebrations.
A sober cabman with a sallow face and a gray horse confront a stranger at the Federal Building cab stand. The two exchange blows, the stranger swinging Windmill fashion, the other ducking and punching, then the pair resume their ride as onlookers watch in Chicago.
A mosaic of comic lines and quips from several papers. It covers political jests about campaigns and corruption, domestic humor on wives and babies, and playful banter about sports and poetry, featuring figures like Senator Sorghum and various editors.
A verse fragment mirrors social satire with lines on vanity and fashion. It contrasts saints and fools, wise and mad, noting Earth’s inanity and the rot of trends. The piece blends urban polish with cheeky profanity.
A flag once unfurled by General Fremont in 1841 and linked to his Rocky Mountain expedition is kept in a Redding bank vault. It was given to P. M. Reardon by Mrs. Fremont and was embroidered with a large American eagle and twenty six stars. A silk scarf on the reverse reads Rocky Mountains 1841. The banner remains in fair condition for its age.
