Holland Defies Spain and Breaks the Dikes for Leyden
A historic tale recalls the Dutch stand at Leyden during the Eighty Years War. Valdez’s siege falters as Leyden’s women and men endure famine and plague, and a daring riverine relief fleet breaks through to save the city. The episode marks Dutch resilience and the strategic breaking of dikes to reclaim land from the sea.

Ribald waiter tale and ad jumbles range from fable to medical
A fragmentary scene recounts a Chicago diners exchange about exotic fish, a joyous mockery of fish names, and a punchline about a whiffleut in a circular lake. The clipping abandons coherence to weave in a medical advertisement for DeWitt’s Kidney and Bladder Pills and a stray joke about a suitor entering a restaurant.
