Membranous Croup and Pine Stick Panic in McWilliams Tale

In a humorous yet cautionary sketch, Mortimer and his wife endure a siege of membranous croup in their household. The sick child Penelope is treated with fevered parental fervor, thwarted by a failing doctor and a chorus of mistaken remedies centered on pine wood and home cures. The doctor finally reveals the illness was not membranous croup but a pine-shingle irritation.

Colonel Buffalo Sam toured Detroit with gold rush hype

The traveling showman Col. Buffalo Sam arrived in Detroit at dawn and left before curfew, pitching a Black Hills expedition. He sought thirty dollars for travel costs, pressed bystanders with grand schemes, faced police skepticism, and clashed with shopkeepers over the gold temptation. The caper fizzled as general public doubt and a bootblack’s aunt letter suggestion curbed his plans. The piece ends with satirical quips about wives and creditors.
