A fragmented poem voices devotion to a loving wife and home life. It reflects on clinging to life for shared happiness and the sweetness of protecting love, though the text is incomplete and clues to full meaning are limited.
A vintage household guide lists dishes such as grilled rippered salmon, fish macaroni with cheese, and sauce piquante. It also covers omelette with preserves, rump steaks a la francaise, potato croquettes, and desserts like apple and almond pudding and pineapple fritters with curacao syrup. The instructions detail broiling, baking, frying, and simmering steps with ingredients and seasonings.
A fragmented quote contrasts government operated services with private rail and telegraph systems. It notes the people own postal, judiciary, fire protection, armed forces, highways, tax, schools, prisons, and other systems, while railroads and energy sectors are criticized as mismanaged by those proposing their inclusion. The passage ends with a Pueblo State Guard remark.
Mary M Baker argues that introducing military tactics into public schools corrupts Christian principles and fuels violence. She contends political and religious leaders endorse war, urging citizens to protest, defend pacifism, and seek Bible-based peace through divine guidance and prayer.
A collage of quips and anecdotes from print humor pages. Jokes range from medical cost contrasts to sailor lore, animal mischief, and puns about editors and editors’ papers. The Rural New Yorker ad closes the collection with invitation.
A narrator recalls springtime deathbed scenes of Felix Mayo known as Dandy Mayo and Ebenezer Ashcraft, depicting family dynamics and humor as Dandy pleads his wife Tildy to take his place and face judgment. The piece contrasts stark mortality with rustic loyalty, ending with a plea for a grave plot under a persimmon or apple tree.
Joe Nickstringer, once a dynamic town figure who became a lawyer and banker, returns home dying and asks his friend Rafe to handle personal business. He pleads not to be buried at Smyrna church graveyard, lamenting the long tradition of burials there as he nears death.
A satirical verse passage decries human frailty and folly from birth to death. It mocks politics, fate, and social pretensions with metaphoric images of misfortune, finance, and vanity, concluding that man is a wart on nature’s nose and a bunion of time.
Mr Ottinger recalls a hunting trip near Wanoma with Jim Duncan, where after a long trek for grouse and a single drink, two gunshots rang out. He saw a large pile of bear fur as the aftermath of a fatal grizzly encounter.
In a dramatic woodland encounter, an old hunter and a greenhorn battle a bear as the animal lunges. The bear mauls Dun can and tears his clothes, but the bear is finally killed, and the elder praises the young man’s restraint.
A historic reprint contrasts flippant male talk about women with a clergyman’s tribute to womanhood. It cites a public dinner rebuke to a speaker who disparaged women and honors the influence of mothers and sisters as essential to moral character.
