A feature portrays Mrs. Wells, boss of a riverfront saloon, as she keeps order among rough dockworkers. The piece tracks her authority, stance against troublemakers, and reflections on running a saloon with discipline and dignity. It also contrasts police and worker culture with her perspective.
An 1888 Medical News report by Dr. J Howell Way details a single grain cocaine injection into a first timer. The subject shows rapid systemic effects, near collapse, and eventual partial recovery after ammonia, digitalis, and nitrate of amyl. The account underscores cocaine’s extreme danger.
In a faintly comic tale Krauspatch stalks a brick figure he mistakes for a small boy placing a hat. He delivers a kick and feels pain when the “boy” remains unmoved. His iron-founder friend then emerges, joking about April Fools and offering a cigar.
A fragmented reminiscence recalls Artemus Ward aboard a slow railroad train. Ward asks a conductor if the railroad company would heed passengers offering advice in a respectful manner, noting the moment as a humorous anecdote.
Fragmentary text shows a battleship commander confronting a rakish craft with a captive in irons. The craft’s officer denies wrongdoing while jokes about matches and a bleak Arctic island are mentioned. A party conundrum at a gathering is also described.
A fragment discusses a lemon bath adding citrus to bathwater for cleanliness and skin tone. It then shifts to a rural Vermont salesman anecdote about farm life and courtship, ending with a remark on young men and affinities.
