Wheelmen ride and lift up a tale of tandem tricks
The article describes wheelmen overcoming bike failures and a tandem ruse on a Washington street hill. A line tied between bikes creates the illusion of one rider towing another up the slope. Spectators marvel at the display, while calling it a clever stunt. It ends noting a top heavy baby in Kansas, Zella Rabbit, who weighed 41 pounds at birth and now stands 53 inches tall at six years old.

Disarmed a Tramp Courage Shown by St Louis Woman
A St Louis woman, wife of Prof. Swafford, disarmed a tramp in her woodshed who threatened to shoot her if she refused to marry him. She retrieved his revolver, forced him to leave, and kept the weapon as evidence of her quick defense. The tale appears alongside notes on government service routines and a canoeing trout story from Maine involving a mink. The report mixes sensational bravery with lighter rural anecdotes.
