Miss Baxters Blindness on a Colorado Train
Grace Baxter and artist Woodson quarrel on a New York to Manitou train then journey to a Colorado resort. Grace grows to trust Woodson’s eye over Fleming’s teaching as they paint together. A clash over art ends with Grace losing her glasses and conceding to see through Woodson’s gaze.

A Hard Hearted People In Tibetan Beliefs And Cruel Death Rituals
A Tibetan culture described as hard hearted shows filial piety lacking, with sons turning aging fathers out in the cold. Folklore says restless dead spirits may haunt the living to gain mercy or money, and dying questions prompt smothering if the reply is to return. Dr Max Hilderband of San Francisco notes injectable fluids can safely pass through circulation to drain the body, potentially delivering large volumes without harm to the animal.

Ring of Fire Experience on the Prairie
In a perilous prairie blaze, a group drives toward upland to escape. They face suffocating heat, smoke, and circling flames, aided by a back fire that ultimately dries greener grass. A cold air lane forms, guiding their narrow escape as Osage Indians urge retreat.

Disillusioned on Country Life and Gentle Night Talk
The critic rejects idealized rural living, contrasting it with harsh realities of dust and mud, scarce fresh meat, and late newspapers. He mocks Arcadian fantasies, favors city life, and notes the charm of affectionate phrases as reminders of human care, ending with reflections on “Good night” as a prayerful greeting.

Giants and folklore meet modern science in debate
A long discussion on giants in folklore contrasts tradition with science. It cites Hippocrates, Priam and Agamemnon, earlier monsters, and modern finds, noting that while no giant skeletons are known, ancient creatures suggest possible large ancestors. It recounts a hungry tramp story and an Idaho camp poker tale, then turns to Mittenwald violin making and other curiosities.
