A man named Dan Fie grows tired of failed mining, seeks a suicidal end with cactus whisky. He crafts poison and imagines death as a picnic, then contemplates life’s bitterness, while a rattling Denver Post voice recalls his quest and the looming fate.
LLEN calls to play hide and seek as Dilsey unpacks winter clothes in a garret. Allen, Katy, Alive, and Tom pair off to hide, hoping to be found in clever places while Nanny warns about knots and risk. The children promise to stay in the garret as Tim’s arrival looms and the game unfolds amid cluttered rooms.
In a tense garret hideout Allen and Katy hide from pursuers as they try to pry a spring-locked cedar chest open. They fear discovery while Nancy and Alice close in, promising to not give themselves up yet. The inner plan hinges on a successful exit before the lid yields.
In a dramatic turn, Allen and Katy are found trapped in a red cedar chest after a perilous night. Dilsey frees them with help from a physician, and the family revises its fear of mice. The rescue ends with the doctor praising timely opening and the household instituting locks to prevent future danger.
The first annual convention of the National Flax Hemp and Ramie Association met in Fargo on December 14 with farmers from North Dakota Minnesota and beyond in attendance. Professors Hinebauch and Sheppard presented papers on flax culture and machinery while mayor Johnson and secretary Henrietta Olberg moderated. Delegates approved plans for experimental flax stations and fiber processing displays with officers elected to lead the group in promoting flax industry growth.
A collage of odd facts and conjecture from various places: tax numbers for Buddhists, whale meat trade, Brazilian bread lengths, new schools in St Louis, and a New Orleans home for Jefferson Davis. Mentions of fishermen, nurses, indigo production, and cupwino Vermont corn canning. A curious snapshot of contemporary trivia and partial figures across nations.
A former Baltimorean now in San Francisco recounts Edgar Allan Poe's last days and death. He claims Poe frequented Widow Meagher's oyster shop, wrote poems and the Gold Bug tale there, and was coerced into voting in a fraudulent coop scheme while intoxicated, dying from poison rather than dissipation per this account.
A priest recalls dinner bills printed as mailing cards with address lines and a penny stamp space. He notes postcards as advertising tools seen in New Orleans and Berlin shops, where rooms with pens and stamps sustain mass mailing of souvenirs.
The Independent describes the top hatty male, detailing high turnover collars, unglossy linen, unusual bow ties, short sack coats with fullness, very full trousers, and a rigid waistcoat. It notes an armor of chest emphasis, whaling the abdomen, and a jaunty derby, plus a gait combining awkwardness with grace and a collection of accessories and initials on buttons.
Consular reports describe the German community in Parana Santa Catharina and Rio Grande do Sul as 300000 of 1500000 with strong finances yet living apart. Language barriers and political isolation persist though the Germans do not seek to form a separate state, hampering emigration and integration.
Fragments from a column mix dialogue and jokes. Col. Stilwell praises progress and a sunny region while a young girl extols its salubrious air. A drought story and charity aid contrasts with light exchanges about pricing eggs and wheat. Humorous vignettes touch on connoisseurs, broad-mindedness, and a Philadelphia divorce note.
