A humorous tale recounts a visit to the exposition with a father who is easily cowed by wild animals and odd exhibits. The narrator describes near mishaps at a glass chair display and a wax figure as a quirky scene unfolds with pancakes, mineral water, and a dramatic escape from a runaway situation.
A humorous tale from a 19th or early 20th century paper recounts Judge Pitman waking from a broom wielding chase after a cold object under his bed coverings. Mrs. Pitman aids with a bucket of water as the mystery turns out to be a metal watch, not a creature, prompting a quarrel over who caused the fuss. A second fragment follows about a barefoot boy and shoes, ending with a quip about the rich man going to church and the boy’s shoes under a wagon seat.
