A New York World article quotes a prominent advertiser who recalls a woman from Erie County cured by his product. The tale shows a torn, yellowed newspaper advertisement plucked from carpet work in Buffalo, proving, the speaker argues, that you can never tell when an advertisement is dead.
A collection of essays discusses frugal living, urging readers to spend below means and avoid pleasure tied to expense. It contrasts tea and coffee consumption trends, coffee preparation tips, and critiques Jeffersonian simplicity in presidential inaugurations with a Telegraph opinion.
A quip mocks a claim that cigars cost more than all U S common schools. The wag suggests washing a coat two days longer could fund the American Board of Foreign Missions. The pun blends expenses, missions, and a playful jab at charitable causes.

Hat tips become violent, white garments signal mourning, and language lacks script or grammar. A Gallic phrase ends the excerpt.
