The Williston Graphis by Corntann and Owenson from North Dakota.
Poet Charles W. Stevenson argues in New York Observer that true temple building lies not in stone or grand arches but within the heart. External churches and monuments falter before credal and selfish creed, while inner faith and loving deeds illuminate the soul’s sacred space.
In northern Montana the N-Bar Freak joins Circle Four to tame a string of wild broncs. After a brutal first day with the notorious Kingbolt, he stays aboard despite two failed tests, finally riding the bucking sorrel to a dramatic finish and leaving the horse dead.
The piece reflects on isolated lighthouse keepers and forgotten colonies in the empire. It compares Eddy stone and St. Kilda to Palmerston and Percy Islands where hunger and delay in relief showed imperial neglect, noting the Empire ship finally delivering aid to Percy Island after months without provisions.
A Chicago Journal piece quotes a contractor noting Italian laborers refuse to work in rain. He claims they seek shelter at the slightest shower, pretend illness, and abandon job sites, suggesting a natural antipathy to water as the cause.
A Philadelphia Press item notes that a Sunday school teacher named Sam Eon was shorn of his strength and retired after a woman cut his hair, a turn of events described as enough to drive any man to seek hiding. The joke hinges on the barber’s act and its unintended consequence.
The piece argues American self-deceit stems from neglecting intellect and ideas beyond material life. It extols discipline as constant study and struggle with unfamilar thoughts, guiding toward unity, truth, and moral strength, enabling ripeness, happiness, and a refined civilization.
A Detroit Free Press inquiry questions the reach of tobacco use among children in slum areas. It cites a woman describing how both her sons smoke, including a seven year old who buys a cigar with five cents. The piece contrasts sensational talk with the observer's critique.
A desk clock doubles as a paperweight and colonial mahogany bookcases with glass doors are in fashion. Decor includes pigskin paperweights with hunting scenes, silk brocade curtains, white china dinnerware with pink rose borders, green Spanish faience vases, yellow toned Tutian furniture and gold thread embroidered cushions. Japanese temple gongs vary from $5 to $50 and modern bamboo framed gongs suit floors or tables.
In St. Aubert Missouri on August 4 a man named E R Langendoefer suffered severe kidney trouble baffling local doctors. He credits two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills with his complete recovery and urges others with kidney issues to try them after prior doctors failed.
