A lengthy verse vignette extols the faithful engineer as a symbol of virtue and duty, urging trust in God while guiding a locomotive called True Religion. The tale shifts to a shop scene where a man with change interacts with a shopkeeper, ending with the man leaving, unwilling to accept a second cigar.
A reading notes several recipes including beat yolks with salt and white pepper for a custard, flannel cakes resembling rice waffles, and minute pudding cooked in a double boiler. Also listed are black bean soup with eggs in a tureen, Yorkshire pudding served with beef drippings, and an apple bread pudding with layered crumbs and apples. A crusty anecdote follows about a fashionably dressed man shopping for cigars in a tobacco shop.
Nicholas and Patrick discuss state versus nation finances in comic dialect. Patrick touts a State bank bond scheme with six percent yields for Rory O Flannigan and payees, while Nicholas warns against risking citizens’ money. Exchange ends with farewell and plans to continue next week.
A collage of jokes, witticisms, and ironic lines from multiple newspapers. Quick quips about divorce lawyers, financial borrowing, polygamy rumors, appearances, and holiday humor, with exchanges from editors and readers. Includes a comic exchange about chestnuts and a cartoonish gag about selling clothes at a cent.
A satirical column on starting the year with self discipline and duty, followed by a humorous Paris Illinois box office anecdote about sold out seats and a weary traveler standing room only. The piece mocks social types, Hurley Wisconsin society, and wandering lovers aboard a train, blending wry moralizing with sketches of small town life.
The Arizona Kicker recounts a humorous clash of egos with a mayoral “paperweight” gun incident and a boastful stance against innovations. It notes a stranger’s intrusion, threats, and a return to traditional dignity, followed by a quixotic tale of Joseph Taylor receiving a sample copy and the paper’s reaction.
A satirical account recounts a heated confrontation at the city hall where the mayor, speaking in a bravado tone, notes the coroner attacked and was knocked down. The piece implies political tension, a warning of future clashes, and the mayor’s claim of public support.
A New Orleans Picayune note explains touch resides mainly in skin and exposed areas such as lips and tongue, while heart and brain remain insensible. Harvey’s discovery of touching a patient’s heart through an abdominal cavity astonished King Charles I. Reports also cite forehead skin grafts causing patients to feel a phantom nasal part and headaches in the nose.
