A collage of wits and cartoons features quips about weather in the Sandwich Islands, domestic scenes, and club life. Jests involve tea talk, old maid fears, and social snubs, with light humor from city papers like Pittsburgh Chronicle and Chicago Tribune.
A new coal yard driver disappeared after delivering a load. He was found in the house where he had stowed coal in the cellar and occupied the kitchen. The cook said he would not leave, and the driver explained he thought he was weighed with the coal, like being sold.
A West Virginia mountain district stories a circuit rider who accepts a mountaineer woman’s offer for marriage in exchange for her protection and a promised fee after harvest. The preacher completes his work and waits for payment, while the mountaineer asserts a half dollar advance as part of the bargain. The tale appears in the Detroit Free Press collection.
