A fragment from a Wisconsin morning call poem by Habad D. Bobaet describes a neighbor who dwells by a woodland lake visiting in the morning. The verses present a rustic, lyrical scene with playful phonetic name imagery and a tranquil rural setting.
Mary Clements faces pressure from her husband Horace over Mabel's future as he hints at possible marriage to Mr Sumner. Mary recalls her late husband John, the prior family ties, and the struggle to protect Mabel while bearing the sting of separations and financial strain.
Mrs. Clements faces pressure to marry off her daughter Mabel after money troubles threaten their home. Charlie and Mattie unite to help with plans for Mabel to study art near a studio, while Mr. Sumner presses for a quick marriage. Mabel learns of the proposals and declines the forced choice, trusting in God and her family to provide a true home and support.
A composite of short fiction and essays for young readers. The scene shifts from a cozy home in bitter sleet to a moral tale about Mabel and Mr. Sumner, then cholera guidance from Marseille, and whimsical pieces on Cesar the dog and childlike adventures in a garret. It concludes with a reflective essay on the cat and its solitary nature versus the dog’s devotion.
A selection of reader questions and notices from Our Family column asks for ad details, addresses, and brief inquiries. Topics include licensing to publish, orphan asylums, poetry authorship, and book publishers, with names such as Ella Wheeler Wilcox and Putnam & Co. referenced alongside Milwaukee locations.
A late 19th century Wisconsin page outlines puzzles by A. J. Ide and others, including anagrams and word games. It lists Wisconsin State Agricultural Society fairs with venues like Portage Fond du Lac and La Crosse, plus other fair dates and locations across the state.
