Coon hunting lore and July Fourth comic anecdotes
Vintage reminiscences describe coon behavior through seasons in Pennsylvania and New England, detailing fattening on nuts and berries, winter caches, and hunting life. A long Boston tale adds patriotism, public outings, and a Bowser family excursion turning chaotic, with humor about manners, disguises, and a clumsy boat trip.

Buying a Bustle in a Dull City Store
Adolphus McSloggerty, dutiful husband, buys a bustle for his wife after a comic misadventure through a department store. He endures startled clerks and amused shoppers as he seeks the exact item described by Marcella, faces a string of awkward exchanges, and finally wraps the delicate purchase for the train home, where the fragile contraption nearly betrays him.
