Punctuation and Banter in a Fragmented Notebook
A compact batch of humorous exchanges and misreadings from a 19th century style column. It features a professor and student debating punctuation, a comic line about a bicycle ride at night, a mother and child quip about workboxes, a pun about topping up, and a tangential note on a literary distribution association.
Russian Trotting Spectacle and Rockefeller Tax Clash
A fragmented column describes a Moscow trotting event with sleighs, troikas, and imperial viewing boxes, noting the crowd, attire, and betting. It then shifts to Henry George’s taxation critique affecting William Rockefeller and Westchester real estate assessments, with related reactions from local figures and hints of political verse.
