In Texas Ma J and J Ben Gaba describe 23 years of chronic catarrh, burning head pain, mucus drainage, cough, bilious colic, and bowel hemorrhages. After trying many remedies, Paruna relieved bowel derangement in three days and cured the condition after five bottles, leading to a cheerful endorsement.
An obituary recalls a rugged Alabama circuit rider noted for fiery denunciations of sin and frequent prayer. Anecdotes tell of his keen insight and humor as he challenged youth at a log meeting house altar who claimed penitence after a riotous night. The minister doubted their sincerity, quipping they did not smell like penitents.
A 17 year old girl in New York defies work after her mother says she is old enough to work. She chooses marriage and is wed that night to a man earning $8 weekly. The note recalls a similar line from Mamie who says she is not working but married.
On a bright October morning in the Wenatchee foothills the narrator and party pursue mountain goats. After spotting several goats they plan encirclement and climb rock slides, resulting in a dramatic sequence of shots, slips, and a final kill after a goat wedges between rocks. Neil sustains minor injuries, while the narrator and Bill face hazards on the ascent.

Flagler, nearing eighty one, calmly reached his twelfth floor office, while a messenger boy reportedly balked at twelve flights. Beardsley quips that the aged magnate upstaged youth.
A country house keeper recalls a curious homing pigeon that lingered ten days near the barn. The bird wore a gilt leg band and two flyer bands on the other leg. It repeatedly returned to the barn and nearby roof before finally vanishing, leaving the observer to ponder the bird’s lost bearings.
A Baltimore American snippet quotes a prim teacher asking why races favor the swift and a boy replying that swift runners break trees, humorously reflecting on speed and consequence in a rural classroom vignette.
