Curious Fragments From a Wandering Column
A garbled montage of passages, jokes, and anecdotes recounts antics from a Texas Times editor’s child Kansas to hydrophobia in Wisconsin milk, a flag station master tale, a deaf innkeeper, and a traveling man’s misheard requests. The mix preserves quirky local color and dated humor without a single clear narrative thread.

Narrow Escape in Vermont Snowbound Forest Ordeal
A man recounts a forty year old Vermont accident where a drifting tree trapped his leg, freezing cold and injuries left him footless below the knee. He fashioned a wooden hook from a suspenders loop, crawled home with help from his dog Hunter and brother Heman, and survived but crippled for life. A closing joke notes a grocer’s odd ad for hams and cigars, smoked and upsmoked.
