Mon, Nov 19 2007 Mister Ron's Basement #912 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. In today's tale, the tenants of a boarding house keep track of the events across the street at another boarding house in 'Our Private Romance.'

November 18, 2007 Mister Ron's Basement #911
Sun, Nov 18 2007 Mister Ron's Basement #911 SUNDAY SALAD offers TWO Stanley Huntley stories -- the first is an 1883 short, funny ditty about a dying man and his writer wife, called 'Of A Literary Bent'. Then we have a Spoopendyke story that was reprinted in a New Zealand newspaper in 1883, and credited to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle (we couldn't find it there). This demonstrates the global popularity of the Spoopendykes back then, making it a true mystery why they fell into obscurity in the 20th century. It is called 'Turning the Seat.'
