Fragmented folklore and street verse from old papers
A collage of archaic, broken prose and verse captions. It mixes a dread tale of a water snake and a water dog perishing, snatches of a Rochester Post-Express reminiscence, a Punch-like scene about a musician and a burglar, plus regional quips and dialect humor from Arkansas Traveler and Cincinnati papers. The excerpts reveal dated humor, misreadances, and fragmentary dialogues.
