A collection of brief jokes and quips from Texas Siftings and NY Weekly. Exorbitant druggists’ bills prompt a quip about climate. A man with vast wealth is joked about saving for a blizzard. A bank street rent gag and a Boston car robbery punchline finish the roundup.
A string of comic vignettes and quips from periodicals lampoon travel motives, fashion, money woes, and social scenes. It references the Chicago Mail, Texas Siftings, Puck, Brooklyn Life, Detroit Free Press, Indianapolis Journal, Life, New York Herald, Chicago Tribune, and Boston Globe, noting travelers driven by motion, outfits, social missteps, and a plug for Dr King's New Discovery for consumption with trial bottles offered.
The Weekly Miner sells a 64 column issue at two dollars a year or one dollar for six months with premiums. Buyers may choose dominoes, Lincoln illustration, or Statesman pictures with autograph, or two colored French pictures. A three year term adds more. Sample copies available from Miser Peatisiixe Co in Butte City Montana.
