Courage of Lower Animals in Fearlessness
A discussion on animal bravery notes bulldogs as notably fearless due to their history in bull baiting and loyalty to their master. It compares several species, noting pugnacity in gamecocks, pike and king cuttlefish, and asserts a gorilla rivaling a lion in ferocity while tigers show greater boldness.
Told Tales Out of School
The piece notes Baring-Gould complained of false death notices and recalls a London dinner with an American editor. A humorous East Ham Indy parrot anecdote follows, with the bird repeating a new word and the cook reporting its learning. The tale blends obituary vanity with a comic line about speech training.
Intervention the Only Hope for Cuba Crisis
The piece argues United States must step in to resolve Cuba’s peril, with Havana and Joast voices urging Platt Amendment use. It notes neither side can defeat the other and many Isle residents fear growing intolerable conditions unless U.S. action ends the conflict. Insurgent seizure of Havana seems unlikely but possible if internal cooperation emerges.
