A Peek a Boo Bonnet Sparks a Church Trial
An elderly aunt recounts fifty years of church life centered on a pink bonnet worn by Rachel Farnham. Despite fears of worldliness, the bold headpiece leads to a dramatic, humorous committee hearing, a grace-filled defense, and Rachel’s eventual marriage to minister Hoyt, sealing a happy ending. The tale contrasts strict norms withendluring beauty and faith.

Rivers of Ink and Vinegar Crown Global Water Oddities
A survey of remarkable rivers includes a Algerian stream turned ink by iron and gallic acid, a Colombian Rio de Vinagre souring its water with sulphuric acid, and the vast Orange River whose waters turn poisonous near copper ore. The Hoang Ho, or Qiine's Sorrow, floods central China, changing course nine times and reshaping lands. The Yukon vies with the Mississippi for North America’s largest river, and East Africa’s Webbs Shebayli vanishes into a desert before the Indian Ocean. A murder case at Sherbrook Station and local Wisconsin state briefs follow, with court actions, accidents, and corporate filings filling the second half.
