Mozart and Nepomucene Messenger Bring Feast to Famine
A Bohemian legend follows Wolfgang Mozart as a serendipitous messenger from St John Nepomucene visits his family. The story recounts the boy's impoverished upbringing, gifts of dinner, a dramatic piano display, and the Empress Maria Theresa shaping his early career. Wolfgang's bond with a noble girl foreshadows future fame, culminating in his Versailles court talent and eventual death at 36 while composing.

Prisoner’s sly plea ends in strange court moment
A prisoner in San Antonio District Court whispered a favor to a deputy sheriff offering three hundred dollars to avoid being mistaken as a deputy. The tale contrasts a sharp smile with the abrupt shift of fate as the plan collapses. Also recalled are Springfield reminiscences of Zebina Stebbins and his horse’s churchgoing misadventure and a reminder about leap year not affecting subscriptions.

Card cheats and clerical ruse mix in rail car tale
A fragment recalls a boastful swindler offering to play jacks for profit aboard a train car, a stern doctor’s rebuke, and a harsh rebuke from the Rev Dr Potts. The piece moves through moral quips about truth, deception, and social mores with scattered anecdotes from journalism.
