First Locomotive and Arlington Tree Tale Echoes of War
A fragment recounts General Lee and Arlington trees facing destruction by vandals, reflecting on loyalty to family home Chatham and the enduring memory of a beloved oak. It then shifts to a historical note on the Stourbridge Lion, the first locomotive in America, describing its 1829 trial in Honesdale and the rise of steam railways.

Artificial noses and a French senator with a large nose
A Sanise dentist fitted a woman with a celluloid nose held by a gold spring to the upper jaw, creating a natural look though translucency failed. A humorous tale recounts a French senator with a prominent proboscis causing a child to cry and a demand to hide the nose with a hat. The piece also notes tennis history, tracing it to England in 1873 and linking references to Shakespeare.

No-situations sought by tauntful governor aide
A rambling account recalls a taunting interview at the capitol where a man requests a job, the governor dodges with politeness and evasive ploys, and a veteran classmate of West Point appears, sharing memory and a few lines of banter about old times.
