A Boston reader tours a New York style song publishing house to reveal the industry. Writers, managers, and pianists collaborate under salary and push songs through vaudeville networks, editors scout trends, and advertisements inflate fame, while the public equates star endorsements with quality.
A Minneapolis visitor in Chicago joined by friends staged a mock wedding journey on a Minneapolis train. The bridal car, rice showers, and decorated table drew reactions as the gag ran its course. The Chicago man may soon announce a real engagement tied to his Minneapolis business travels.
A late issue of the Quarterly Law Magazine of England recites brisk quips of Lord Morris and Ireland’s chief justice Killanin. It records a lawyer asking him to assume knowledge of public health statutes, his reply to yield no ignorance, and a quip about Providence and sanitary law. It notes a joke on Ireland and a remark about Guinness partners.
Heaton Journal notes Marconi's firm approach to lecturing, deeming any man turning down a one dollar offer for twelve talks as serious, and predicting he will command up to a hundred dollars per lecture as his hopes and ambition rise.
A compact poem fragment references growing old together and trusting God. It names Browning’s sentiment about life’s first and last to be, with names and a brief invocation of faith. The readable bits hint at a literary quotation rather than a news event.
In New York busy executives employ gifted attendants to shield the great from unsolicited callers. Ananiases at successive doors screen visitors, offering partial access or denials with crafted excuses. The system thrives on practiced deceit to conserve the great man’s time, while in Europe firmer manners replace falsehoods with formal appointments.
J. E. Whitby discusses Belgian police dogs in Ghent, detailing training methods and practical roles in public safety. The piece notes the dog’s prominence in Belgium, highlighting its usefulness to the community and law enforcement functions.
A Boston Globe note recounts how megaphones were repurposed to vent steam from railroad cars. Engineers placed a megaphone under the car center to condense steam before it touches paint, preventing side corrosion. The president’s car received a matching paint finish as the method rolled out across the line.
Aunt Sally recounts a mountain feud over a preacher who mixed Dan in the Lion's Den with moonshine and revenue laws. Tolliver Barnes brings in a new elder who clashed with townfolk, leading to renewed skid row whisky and talk of losing a preacher permanently.
