A reflective piece recalling a town and its people through memory of a long-ago professor and a beloved neighbor. The narrator wanders to a village green, gardens, roses, lilies, and flowers while recounting guides, kindness, and a childlike affection tied to Maytime. Emma Herrick Weed appears as the source.
A former Scotland Yard informer recounts a near death at an anarchist club in Edinburgh. Barrington infiltrates as an Irish American, a clock bomb is planted to kill him at nine, but police rescue him as Edinburgh time lags London by 13 minutes, saving his life.
A collection of humorous quips and anecdotes from papers such as the Bulletin and Detroit Journal. Jokes about shepherds, puddles, dissection, optimism versus pessimism, sparring, and travel tales reveal light social ironies and wordplay from the era.
A Philadelphia Press item recalls Nabob, a rare Maltese terrier owned by Mrs. Minchla McConnell of Roxbury Massachusetts. The small dog named Robbie or Bobbie is highly intelligent, loves music, sits upright at a piano, and waits by the table with a napkin tied to his collar.
An account from Worcester about Rev. James Le Baron Johnson, newly appointed New York fire chaplain, recalling a Tacoma fire where he prayed with a driver seconds before a fatal accident. The driver predicted death during the ride, and a plate glass accident at the scene proved fatal for the driver.
A boy hunted through the library, nursery, and closet for his cap and a missing item. He fears a tramp or dig might have taken or chewed it. His mother finds the cap hanging in its proper place, restoring a rosy cheeked Tommy.
A Cincinnati Tribune report describes how spring plants generate root pressure that can push water up trees and even compress air in a glass tube. It notes pressures of two atmospheres in small plants and much higher in large trees, and outlines a makeshift fountain device using an abutilon stump to demonstrate the effect.
A Pall Mall Magazine piece describes owl courtship and parenting in lyrical detail. The male performs a tender display, then feeds a half digested mouse to the mate, while the pair nurture their offspring with devoted care and stealthy moonlit flight.
A three horned beetle demonstrates notable strength when confined under a quart milk bottle. The bottle’s hollow bottom allows the insect to stand upright as it slowly glides and drags the container, surprising witnesses with its power. Report claims the beetle could move weights and hints at further demonstrations planned at the tent.
Fragmentary text from Harpers Round Table discusses a mock desert interview with Mrs. Melablerty and Marty. It mentions an execution bill in Minnesota’s legislature, exempting certain penalties, and a forthcoming text session presentation.
