Grand Promoter and the Horseradish Scheme
A comic 1902 tale follows Major Prefect the grand promoter who tries to corner horseradish. A debt collector confronts him with a $4 bill, sparking a mock merger pitch, stock offers, and a farcical bluff exchange ending with the major paying the lone cent balance. The story pivots to brawls, windmill rivals, and a melodramatic love triangle ending in a chaotic village feud.

The Girl from New York at a Rural Farm Vacation
A 1902 narrative describes Miss Davis visiting a farmhouse for two weeks. A host of hired men, widowed farmers, and windmill and incubator sellers vie for her attention. Each man’s advance is hindered by competition, propriety, and the lure of opportunity during her healthful escape from office routine. The tale blends humor with social observation in a provincial setting.
