A tribute recalls a powerful man of the village, famed for his iron arm and cradle of kindness. In a window where his portrait hung, a plant now grows as a living memory, a dreamlike vision of his youthful vigor and enduring spirit among evergreen ferns.
A long, varied column warns that malaria bearing mosquitoes kill about 12,000 Americans yearly and sicken 300,000 more with delayed symptoms. It condemns public indifference and urges awareness of the real danger posed by the bite and its slow-acting virus.
Major Hopkins at a frontier fort finds a captive Indian girl crying over a doll as a gift from Mrs. Hopkins. The act of kindness with the doll leads to a peace gesture from the Indians, a return to the village, and a pledge to redress wrongs. The incident averts a planned attack and a broader war. The story centers on mercy overcoming violence.

Article promotes Peruna as a cure for catarrh of the stomach with testimonials from J W Jackson of Greenville Ohio and others.

Two New York girls cleared two thousand dollars from violet raising last year. They started with a small capital, learned varieties, cuttings, and glazing, then expanded with sales offers from a violet grower.

Foley's Honey and Tar is recommended as a safe household remedy.
A quirky piece describes the porcupine with its defensive quills and slow nature, then recounts the Corsican siege at Nonza in 1768 where Captain Cascetta finally surrendered with honors after a long stand.
