An exhortation from Korbes Magazine urges dropping the phrase I hate to and adopting a cheerful frame of mind. It argues hatred signals weakness and promotes service mindedness, suggesting the forceful person begins more sentences with I like to than I hate to.
The text warns that a tendency toward lazy thinking can develop if not checked and urges vigilance against the 'slothful mind' that excuses fatigue. It notes that tiredness may mask overwork and stresses staying alert to genuine exhaustion versus mere reluctance to work.
A reflective piece favors rural camping by a running stream over living in crowded towns where neighbors lack friendliness and the sense of visiting as in bygone days. The author contrasts happiness from natural surroundings with perceived aloof urban life.
A fragment discusses how weight loss affects swimmers and runners, noting rapid fat loss during effort and the difficulty of maintaining optimal form. It mentions a swimmer who fatigued after attempting to cross a channel, despite food and rest, and argues gradual, healthy variation in body weight is natural with good health.
A fragmented section describes the Colorace river from its source to its mouth. It notes its steep descent through canyons and plateaus, mentions the Culorida stream in the western hemisphere, and hints at ancient cave tombs and vanished desert dwellers.
Meek and his wife settled in to watch a film when three buxom women moved in front of them, blocking the screen view. Mrs Meek urged her husband to act, and Va Meck responded, noting they would know when to go home once everyone rises.
A rambling meditation recounts rivalries between figures named Dius Badh and Meret Beer with light humor. It weaves in a story of illness, cheer, and an exchange about health and happiness, then shifts to observations on insects using tools and bees stealing honey.
A literary note compares early football to today describing straw balls braided from straw rope then soaked to harden, later switched to leather stuffed with horsehair. Early players viewed the straw ball as weaker yet fathers of that era feared feet would suffer less than modern inflated pigskin balls.
A colonial era parallel compares Capt John Smith of Virginia with Pocahontas daughter of Powhatan, via a Māori account from Maorihiu. It recalls 1830s Bully Bundy the Sydney whaler who aided Negamotnu’s defense, captured by Moors, tied to a post as heat rose, but saved when Pocahontas-like daughter shielded him. The piece notes a moral contrast: Indians spared Smith while Bundy faced peril before a dramatic rescue.
A householder disputes a science claim from Passi about the world moving. After a heated exchange, blows are exchanged with kicks and a black eye. The tale ends with the moral that physical force cannot settle arguments.
A young man, locked out after forgetting the front key, pressed an entry button for a top floor unit. The electric strike released, allowing him to enter his apartment while the landlady was busy in the kitchen, according to the New York Sun.
The piece notes painting's enduring appeal from ancient times to modern days.
