Mister Ron's Basement #772

Mon, Jul 02 2007 Mister Ron's Basement #772 Our Monday book serialization is George Ade's 1903 collection, 'In Babel -- Stories of Chicago.' The stories in this book range from the hysterically funny to the pathetically sad. Altogether, they paint a fascinating portrait of turn-of-the-last-century Chicago. Today's chapter presents a hobo's dream turned into a nightmare. It's called 'Why Gondola Was Put Away' and is truly funny. Please note: I have slightly edited this story for modern sensibilities. Read the original if you're curious why I did this. Time: approx nine and a half minutes The Mister Ron's Basement Full Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html The George Ade Catalog of Stories is at: http://ronevry.com/AdeCatalog.html
