Hon. Geo. W. Peck recounts an expedition to capture African buffalo using an airship and rockets. The narrator describes the dangerous animals, the marsh terrain, and the setup of a triangular corral as 50 men work to drive buffalo toward the encircling fence.
An account from 1908 recounts Pa guiding a buffalo roundup with airship powered cages and trained oxen. Cooks fry rhinoceros pork while the crew jokes about Roosevelt visiting Africa. Negroes worship Pa as their king and protector before shipping the herd to the coast.
The article argues the Whit ting ton legend’s cat origins stem from commercial deals rather than academic theory. It links sea faring tales of a ship cat to greed and myth, contrasting with England's banking traditions and a swindle that might have been aided by telephones if used.
A country pastor facing poverty hosts a prayer gathering. A farmer boy arrives with Pa's prayers meaning a wagon load of food and supplies. The mishearing ends the meeting as investigators reveal the bundle includes potatoes flour bacon cornmeal turnips apples warm clothing and jellies for the sick.
