The Times of India recounts a Yemen Arab sheik who bailed a wire cutter. The man fled and harmed another, then his wife retrieved his head after a night journey to spare him from the black sheet. A London Telegraph takeaway notes a crab eating macaque in Burma Siam and Malaya. The animal dives for crabs, swims well, and uses tools to obtain prey.
A Chicago Post quote compares life to theater with a wry line about actors mistiming their stars.

A historical note traces the old custom of choosing a boy to serve as bishop on St Nicholas day, wearing episcopal robes and exercising authority.

A reflection from the Atchison Globe on human nature and manners, arguing that everyone relies on others’ charity and that criticizing others’ faults mirrors self critique. It emphasizes humility, universal flaws, and the futility of gossip.
