Welcome to another episode of newspaper randomness. We had 3 articles out the hat in this episode. Trigger Warning for the first, being the accidental death of a child.
To begin us we have a child who fell while holding a stick, which went up his nose. (Lincolnshire Free Press, 13th July, 1897.)
Then we had a Cockney superstition which supposedly leads folk to the thieves of their belongings. (Edinburgh Evening Courant, 16th June, 1832.)
The ex-Queen of Naples becomes an "it" and seemingly genderless in an anecdote. (Fife Herald, 3rd October, 1861.)
Catch you next time for another Newspaper Article Lucky-Dip!
