Mother’s make over teaches values on a rainy day
In a Wood’s Magazine tale, Mrs. Montgomery overhears her children comparing her worn wrapper to Aunt Warren’s dress. She dyes her look with care, earning praise from her kids. The story ends with a lesson: neatness and dress matter, shaping respect and memory in motherhood.

Weasel traps rat in elaborate luring ruse
An old-time tale describes a weasel routing a large rat by digging a tunnel and forcing the prey through a trap. A separate vignette recalls a Cedar Rapids woman shouting fire to summon the fire department. The piece also notes a Missouri Republican convention vow to adjourn without nominations and a streetwise urchin quip outside the Post Office. A church tale mocks paying for a poor minister with psalm tunes.
