• American Ptyalism

  The "American Ptyalism" was written on November
  22nd, 1832, and is dated from Communipaw. It was
  never before published. That ptyalism is a chief characteristic
  of our own day, as well as of seventy-five years ago, is
  witnessed by the millions of signs displayed, not only in all
  our public buildings, on streets, in parks and in places of
  amusement, but also in places where the necessity to remind
  us that it would be bad behavior to expectorate, seems to
  be, but evidently is not, superficial, as in restaurants, in
  eating-places and lunch rooms.

• The Haunted Vine

  The little town in southern Louisiana had lost all its former attraction to me- Returning to it after an
  absence of years, the scenery failed to fascinate me as it
  did of yore, there seemed to be no person I cared to associate
  with, besides I was tired of loafing and in need of
  some serious occupation. So I boarded at the hotel, if
  such it could be called, rented an old tumble-down plantation
  house at the crossroads for a studio, and tried to forget
  the past.

  par Sadakichi Hartmann
• Why and How I Got Married

  Many hundred stories, brief and lengthy accounts, arrive every week at the desk of our Contest Editor. Most
  of them testify that marriage, even in our commonplace age, preserves its old romance and that to relate a story of
  how Grandfather took Grandmother urges the pen into hands not otherwise ambitious of literary achievement. A
  handful of these stories will be chosen every week for the perusal of our readers.
