A Lay of Ancient Rome and English Views on Race
A fragmentary mock epic passes into a discussion of racial segregation and “strict social separation” as a solution to harmony, citing Booker Washington and W H Connell, with Victorian-era satire and a Confederate drum tale, and ending with miscellaneous anecdotes and jokes in a scattered historical page.

Buck and Buck Saw Tale and Odd Encounters
A farmer Esau Buck hires Haan Buck to help on the old homestead. Esau pretends to saw wood while the saw proves unusable, then a new bucksaw is bought. A misadventure involves a buck and a seesaw, ending with the old man injured and the garden bed damaged. A second tale follows an English traveler and a revival joke, plus rural wit about city life and a bug infestation threatening a church in Middletown Ohio.
