A Connecticut stranger using a lead jacket tripped a Newport shopkeeper with a weight guessing bet and walked away with $5 after weighing 290 pounds. A Boston lecturer praised stepmothers as a noble type of motherhood amid broader remarks on mothers and guardians. In Portland a forgetful traveler left a banker’s basket behind on a Deering car, while a Maine druggist had a conch dog’s aging teeth filled by a dentist.
