A poetic fragment by Aurila Furber appears in the Washington Post. The piece contemplates dusk, peace, and rest with imagery of hills, woods, and fading daylight.
A retired sea captain recalls a moonlit canoe voyage to the Raquette Lake pool where a ghostly figure—really a skeletal sea eagle carcass clinging to a pike—emerged while the fishfight. The tale links similar sightings in Europe and notes the local superstition as the captain and companion thrill to a supernatural yet natural spectacle.
A San Francisco Examiner note tells of young Alice Rideout, nearly eighteen, who modeled Sit ting Bull in a striking tale. An English mastiff damaged a sculpture, and Rideout repaired it, inspiring the artist to pursue art seriously with family support.
A vignette of satirical quips from periodicals about money time and social foibles. Biting lines discuss exits in theater fire drills, wealth and blue bloods, and social missteps. The piece weaves jokes on fashion, love, and urban life with brief cartoonish scenes.
A giant adobe pyramid west of Pueblo Mexico stands 172 feet high with a 1555 foot base. Four stories connected by terraces lead to a chapel at the top dedicated to the Virgin of Remedios. Explorers found skeletons, clay idols, bronze figures, and varnished pottery in a base chamber when a road cut exposed the monument.
The Hamburg merchant son wished to ride a desert camel, and Nachtigal offered a comical simile. He said a rough ride on a high office stool in a sunbaked, foodless July day mirrors the desert experience. The tale preserves a light, humorous slant on exploration.
