A collage of witty lines from various newspapers and periodicals, including quips about boxing talent, faith cures, fashion, travel, marriage, and social habits. The collection strings together humorous exchanges and ironic observations as seen in multiple city papers.
A New York Herald note highlights a book agent's ready wit when a bank president laughs off his intrusion with a playful quip about future meetings. It then describes the Moqui Snake Dance, explaining the nine day rite where snakes are urged to carry prayers to higher deities and rain gods, as a traveling man jokes about watching a train from the outside while it moves.
A young dry goods man visits Browler Peckham on Main Street to address a bill tied to Miss Geraldi ne. The old man balks at marriage, then asks about the debt of 37.23 dollars, while the suitor insists on resolving the matter and is banished from the office. An odd World’s Fair exchange about the Women’s Building follows.
