- 'Titbottoms Spectacles' by George William Curtis
- 'The First Piano in Camp' by Samuel Davis
- 'Mr Tolman' by Frank R. Stockton
- 'Mrs Bullfrog' by Nathaniel Hawthorne
- 'Against His Judgement' by Robert Grant
- 'A Desperate Adventure' by Max Adeler
- 'Occurence at Owl Creek' by Ambrose Bierce
- 'The Stout Gentleman' by Washington Irving
- 'Clothes 'by Gustav Kobbé
- 'Negative Gravity' by Frank R. Stockton
