Steaks and Legacies in Jerseyman's Last Will Explored
A spoofed will from 1910 reveals odd bequests of meat from various suppliers. John Doe disperses porterhouse steaks to his son, lamb leg to another, veal chops to a daughter, a haslet to his mother-in-law, with executors named Richard Roe and Paul Poe. The text appears as a humorous mock legal document.

Hamilton an Aviator as Boy
A New Britain neighbor recalls Charles K Hamilton, a boy nicknamed Charlie, who showed a lifelong urge to fly. From stealing a parasol at eight to attempting a 600 foot glide after a broken crank, his daring stunts include a 14,000 foot fall with a parachute bag still attached and a high lift in Paterson when his gas bag vent failed. His mother notes early signs of a future balloonist.
