  • The trapper, March 1

    A March 1 issue of the Nelson brothers' fictional periodical, "The Trapper," with no year of publication specified. The issue opens with two stories about the adventures of two different sea vessels. The first describes life below deck on a naval vessel and the second is about submarines searching for treasure. Following these accounts are two pages of humor containing a piece instructing young boys in the use of costume mustaches, humorous poems and quips, and "Two Singular Epitaphs." The issue mostly consists of printed clippings from various unidentified sources, possibly a digest of popular writings. The poem "A Tartar Idyl" is noted from the humorous publication "The Harvard Lampoon" and there are small pieces from the "Brooklyn Life," "Harper's Bazaar," and the "New York Herald".
