- "Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast." Not always, but sometimes. Hence it was that the dulcet tones produced by Heinie Holtzmeyer, the fiddler, and Orpheus of the little Holland Village, failed to tranquilize his wife Lena, who was rather a Xantippe than an Eurydice, and Heinie's head, like that of Socrates, often played the target for her pots and pans, and her aim was very good. The poor fellow sought solace at the public house, where he met the toss-pots of the town, and right merry souls were they. His fiddle made him a favorite with all, especially the barmaids, who rewarded his efforts with wine and kisses. His joys, however, are of short duration, for Lena appears, and, brandishing a rolling-pin, clears out the place. Heinie rushes home, packs his bag and, with his fiddle, decamps. He is followed by Lena until he reaches the wharf, where he finds himself, as it were, "between the devil and the deep sea," so he chooses the sea. Jumping into a row-boat he rows to an outgoing vessel, ships and is off for parts unknown. A storm is encountered, and the vessel is wrecked, but fortune favors and he is cast ashore. Heinie is about to give thanks for his deliverance when he is pounced upon by an army of ferocious cannibals, armed with clubs and excaliburs, now wouldn't that discombobulate you? Well, it looked like Stew à la Hollandaise for Heinie. And indeed, the black warriors are about to prepare a Dutch dinner, when the Queen does the Pocahontas act and, throwing herself on the prostrate form of Heinie, declares that they shall strike him only through her. So they desist, for such a thing would be impossible, as the Queen is so thick through, that the longest spear would hardly reach the victim. In fact, she is that obese she looks like a crowd. Heinie now takes his fiddle and discourses sweet music, which places him in such high esteem with the tribe that be experiences his own apotheosis, besides becoming the husband of the Queen and King of the islands. Lena, after three years of relentless endeavor, discovers his whereabouts, and bursts in unannounced upon his sunny serenity. Aha! Here is his chance to set even, and as she had kept him in hot water at Holland, he does as much for her now: hence, he consigns her to the stewpot. Moral: the worm will turn.

- The gathering of the greatest fleet ever assembled under the American flag has set the world agog. One hundred and two fighting vessels, strung along the beautiful Hudson River is an inspiring sight, and most appropriate it is that Uncle Sam chose that magnificent setting for this gigantic display of his strength on the seas. We steam up along the line of grim fighters, then take a survey of the general make-up of several of the biggest of the water bull-dogs, with their trim decks and majestic new-style skeleton masts. But even more than this, for we now go into the quarters of the men, and call them out on the big parade deck to go through their masterful drills for us. We size up the work of various crews, then watch them at the serious work of keeping their big floating home in order. By this time they are all pretty well tired out, so they adjourn to the forecastle, and start their dances, music, and those hundred and one pranks and tricks that have made your Uncle Sammy's Jacktars the rollicking, jolly sailor boys that they are.

- A bachelor, with plenty of money and not a care in the world, suddenly finds himself involved in a sea of trouble. It all starts when his brother, who lives in Trenton, wires that his wife and baby are on their way from the mountains and that he will appreciate it if "Brother Jack" will meet them and see them across town. The bachelor, with a sigh, prepares to be gallant. He meets the woman and child, also much luggage, and escorts them across town to the Pennsylvania station. There he takes them aboard a train, and believes that his task is over. But the mother suddenly remembers some purchases she must make, and the good-natured bachelor is prevailed upon to stand guard over the child until she returns. The mother forgets the time and misses the train and the baby and its bachelor uncle start off together. But the mother is a woman of resource. She wires tips on caring for the baby to various stations along the line, and all would be well were it not for the uncle's awkwardness. But he annoys the other passengers, fights with the conductor when that official remonstrates with him, and is finally thrown off at a little station far from Trenton. It is a hot day and that, together with the necessity of singing to the baby, had made uncle thirsty. He sees a saloon nearby, but does not care to take baby there. Furthermore, the baby will not remain quiet all by itself. But finally fortune smiles on the uncle, although, as afterwards develops, it is a hypocritical smile. A dog is being shipped to Philadelphia in a dog basket, and is left on the platform near the pair of unfortunates. When no one is looking, the thirsty uncle ejects the astonished dog, and places the baby in a place of security. Then he goes off to the café and enjoys himself. Time passes rapidly in joy parlors, and trains do not wait for highballs. The car pulls in, the dog basket starts on its journey, and uncle is still in blissful ignorance of what is transpiring. The baggage man finds that instead of a live dog he has a squalling baby on his hands. Being a matter-of-fact individual, he hunts through the train, hoping that some woman will relieve him of his burden. One of the passengers is the baby's mother, and she greets her offspring with glad surprise and delight. And mother and child are reunited. The uncle sent his apologies by wire and then went for a long trip abroad.
- A foolish quarrel with his sweetheart and a desire for adventure caused a young man to enlist in the United States Navy. Soon after his departure his fiancée learned that she had treated him unjustly, but was unable to get any trace of him. The young woman was a teacher in a school for deaf mutes. A year later the warships of the United States Navy gathered in the North River, and there was a great land parade, at which the girl was one of the spectators. Among the men who marched by her she saw with delight the man she loved. She followed him to his ship and there were mutual explanations and forgiveness. On the day the fleet sailed the young sailor and his sweetheart lunched together. In the other end of the room far from all the other guests were foreign looking men. They were whispering together and the girl watched them. Because of her ability to read the lip, she was able to understand everything they said. They were discussing a plot to blow up the ships of the fleet as they passed out to sea. The girl told the facts to her sweetheart, and two followed the conspirators to a lonely hut near the Narrows. There while the conspirators were inside waiting, the young sailor located the wires leading to the hidden mine, dived into the water and severed them. After taking other precautions he returned to the ship, where his statement of what had happened caused him to be warmly commended. On an eminence near the hut one of the conspirators stood watching. Suddenly he turned and ran into the building with the news that the fleet was in range of the mines. Exultantly the conspirators touched the button. To their amazement the big warships were sailing majestically along and there were no signs of any explosion. Frantically they overhauled their apparatus, but suddenly there was an interruption. A number of policemen dashed into the shack and placed the cursing conspirators under arrest. On the deck of one of the finest warships was a young sailor who looked back toward the land and waved his cap with a smile. On the shore was a young girl who returned his greeting happily, knowing that in less than a year the man whom she loved would he home again to claim her as his bride.
