Growing Moss Industry in Louisiana Creole State
A detailed feature on Spanish moss harvesting in southwestern Louisiana. It describes the long, swampy process of gathering moss by wood choppers and moss pickers, drying and burying it for two to three months, curing to soften the bark, and shipping to New Orleans factories. The piece notes primitive housing, rough bale methods, wages, the four New Orleans moss factories, and the grading and pricing of moss, with complexity of the curing process and market dynamics.

Uncle Reuben and the Bloomers Go On Pretense Visit
A New England family in Chicago on the South Side hosts their bachelor Uncle Reuben after a misread invitation. He arrives amid the ladies wardrobe scare, studies their bicycles and wheels in the hall, and remains silent before declaring wives outwitting men in a nineteenth century twist. A separate Atchison tale imagines a city ruled by women where streets are clean and idle.
