Gossip and Reflections on Modern Society and Morality
A reflective essay satirizes modern science and social duplicity, contrasting past and present values. It cites Richard III, debates race and home culture, questions dieting and nudism, and recalls childhood in Virginia with teachers, peers, and cruelty. It ends with a Kentucky elder’s defiance of cleanliness and religion.
To the Good Book and a Hammered Humour in Court
A wry Cincinnati reminiscence quotes Harry Pence and recounts a Police Court case where two friends Bill and Ed clashed over a wife’s flirtations. Bill struck Ed with a hammer, fracturing his skull, but Judge Morrow jailed Bill for six months after considering extreme provocation and circumstances.
