Drawing the Baby in a Domestic Tug of War
A Philadelphia World described scene shows a mother and father trying to dress a two year old with comic chaos. The piece contrasts the mother’s calm routine with the father’s clumsy heat of the moment as the child evades, the towel, buttons and pins become a minefield, and the clock-watching wife finally scolds him from above. The anecdote sits amid broader notes on currency standards and political testimony, including Tweed’s bribery revelations.

Inlinga Nationer Song Parody by Peleg Ark Wright
A playful verse set imitatively to praise the Inlinga people and their swill milk crusade. The piece riffs on questions about happiness, grass color, and the Lager Pier, ending with a light joke about Layer 1. The spoof tone mirrors a humorous regional chant and includes mock questions about various everyday joys.
