The piece humorously chronicles an editor's doubts about brain work versus manual labor, notes plans to help with office writing, and mentions fishing as a respite. It shifts to reports of Major Poe in Arkansas, Mississippi River damage near Memphis, a White House pet anecdote, and McKinley era surplus talk. It covers Chandler Oklahoma cyclone, official terms in Okla, and political commentary on Flynn, Barnes, and the legislature with reflections on governance and reform.
