Not Angelic Baby but Right Baby for Me
A light hearted domestic vignette contrasts idealized baby imagery with a playful real infant. Mrs. Wonder endures a New Year’s Eve in a bustling household while her husband wanders and dreams clouded by fatigue. A dream sequence among women reveals a humorous view of gender roles and family life. At school, girls discuss Bible names and fates through a fortune tale, while Andrew Miller learns courage when tempted by peers and is guided by his mother toward faith.

Set Up Your Bar at Home in Mansfield Ky Lecture
Campbell of Mansfield Ky advocates self serving liquor economics. He claims barkeepers pay $2 per gallon of whisky, yielding about 65 drinks at ten cents each, creating a $4.50 profit per gallon for the server. He instructs to use the wife as barkeeper, borrowing $2 to start, the drinker repaying and the wife accumulating capital to sustain the drunkard.

Millionaire Gambler O'Brien Symbolizes City’s Gambler Culture
The tale portrays O'Brien once a mining bonanza member who rose from poverty by gambling five cent games in a San Francisco bar room with Flood Mackey and Fair as partners. He never abandoned his "old sledge," living off others’ work while enjoying the game to his death.
