Mrs Ockdyne's Fright and a Desperate Will Plot
In a London Truth tale, Mrs. Ockdyne grapples with her husband John Ockdyne near death after secretly burning Allan Graham letters. Brother William charges her with destroying the will draft to gain control. A mystic visitor, Parchment, reveals the real will was destroyed by John earlier, sparing her from scandal and placing the estate in wiser hands.

Dangers of Politeness and Riding Lessons
A Chicago prom scene prompts a badge of humor about politeness as a lawyer bets a ten dollar stake on losing an umbrella on a streetcar. The page folds into a long, humorous sketch about a riding lesson that ends with a lathered rider and a desire for a lounge on the horse. A note on global Catholic missions and varied 1887 industry news rounds out the column with brisk, period-voiced items.

Secrecy of Ballot System Proposed in Australia
A plan to ensure absolute ballot secrecy proposes a room adjacent to the poll room where voters go one at a time. In the side room a printed ticket lists all candidates, and the voter selects and marks it unseen. The completed ticket is folded and cast, with only the voter knowing their choices. Proponents claim it would curb bribery and fraud.
