A fragment outlines how a group of veterans in Pulaski organized in May 1866 forming the Ku Klux Klan from a college slang term. It notes the social context, the shift from kuklos to kuklux, and hints at later expansion from a Puritan office to a derelict house on the village edge. The piece also weaves in unrelated anecdotes about an English hotel trap and beaver behavior, plus a brief note on the military salute origins.

A veteran card dealer recalls a sudden hand paralysis that halted a big bank game. Doctors used electricity to restore movement after three days, ending his dealing days. The piece blends with a note on English clergy misreading a hymn and a quip from Harvard professor W W Goodwin about aging perceptions.
