In early 17th century Paris Rubens, lodging at a modest inn, used a painted wardrobe and a forged fortune tale to outwit a stingy host.

A Philadelphia Times report describes Rudiniville near Berwyn station where Italian immigrant laborers and a few Slavs built eleven distinctive huts resembling wigwams and Eskimo huts. The settlement’s economy centers on railroad construction with simple ground plans, sod roofs, and a central fire. The piece notes a newlyweds’ straw thatch dwelling and a curious, guarded resident. It sparsely remarks on a separate tale of substantial gold believed to come from mint coinage and roof washings at the Philadelphia Mint.
