A rapid column surveys famous figures and events with risqué wit. It pokes fun at Crispi as Italy’s Grand Old Man, notes mournful royal meetings, mocks Indian torture history, mocks British fleet boasts, warns about a missing $20,000 gold brick, and jokes about coal oil on ponds and the Shamrock II’s Atlantic crossing.

It also comments on Amour & Co. and Swift & Co. joint control of Fort Worth stockyards, and ends with a quip about pedigree and public speech.
