A lengthy, imperfect column blends a sentimental poem about love with scattered social and community notices. It includes references to lovers, memory, and longing, followed by numerous event listings such as dances, teas, club meetings, and local society updates with names of attendees and venues.
A former private recounts brutal abuse by noncommissioned officers at a western post. Calamity, forced to clean a sergeant Linburger’s spit box, endures thumbscrews, hanging, and near death, then meets a harsh court martial after resisting. The piece argues tyranny drives desertion and cites widespread misconduct and punishment.
A collage of quirky vignettes and essays: a spoof dialogue about wisdom and weathered wit, a note on outdoor education linking play to mental action, a memory of a tame crow returning to its old friend, and brief anecdotes on printing secret writing devices and wartime veterans. The piece threads humor, science, and nostalgia through a late 19th or early 20th century lens.
Fragmented text blends kitchen instructions for sardine sandwiches with a project on lamp shades made from paper. It mentions draining sardines, mixing with lemon juice and butter, and slicing bread. The lamp shade notes describe building a multi colored paper shade with backing and finishes. Also includes stray lines about barbering, rust prevention, and a courtroom waiting room scene.
