A collage of jokes and brief scenes touches on royal gossip, politics, crime, science, sports, and social curiosities. It mentions King Edward, Venezuela, Langley, a Californian jail escape, a Sanatorium idea, and a Rotman chariot, with playful remarks on apples, marriage, and street signs in Manhattan. It reads as a light, miscellany column of dated opinions and trivia.
An extended feature profiles Prince John Kalakaniole and Princess Cupid of Honolulu, describing their royal lineage, residence near Waikiki, and a grand reception planned for Washington next winter. It notes their world tour, lavish costumes, the prince’s Washington entitlements, and the Hawaii legislature’s 26000 funding for entertainments during his congressional term.
Elinor and Jack court each other on a Milton Point beach with sand games and a century apart chase. She bets his devotion by a dangerous challenge to survive a night on a rock as the tide rises.

Fragments recall a bygone winter when laughter rang on frosty streets. Snowball skirmishes near a snowman with coal eyes and a wooden frame sparked innocent mischief as dawn gray and quiet settled over the town.
A magistrate in a British jail encounters a prisoner who keeps a rat as a pet. The convict explains he feeds it daily and favors the rat over others. The magistrate suggests a glimmer of good in every man, while the prisoner notes the rat bit the warder.
A Canadian well yields sand instead of water and streams it to the surface from 100 feet. A recent New Guinea discovery reports a miraculous well at 600 feet. Iron or steel objects dipped in the water become magnetic instantly.
