    Mister Ron's Basement #1755

    We have discovered a collection of humorous pieces by Simeon Ford published back in 1904. It is called 'A Few Remarks.' Ford was NOT a professional humorist, but a New York City hotel keeper who was the most in-demand after dinner speaker in the City in the early years of the twentieth century.

    Today's speech was presented to a meeting of Bank Presidents in an era of Bank Failures (certainly nothing like today). It is called 'Bank-Notes.'

    Time: approx seven and a half minutes

Ford was NOT a professional humorist, but a New York City hotel keeper who was the most in-demand after dinner speaker in the City in the early years of the twentieth century.

    In today's speech, Ford holds hilariously forth on a dim subject - - 'Hotel Suicides.'

    Time: approx seven and a half minutes

    We are continuing with our Monday Book Serialization, Edward S. Ellis's 1868 Dime Novel, 'The Steam Man of the Prairies.' Yes, this novel is badly written, and this chapter is one of the worst. Still, al in all, the further chapters are quite fascinating, so hang in there!

    Time: approx eleven and a half minutes

    We are wrapping up a week of the sharp-witted writing of John Ames Mitchell, who, back in the 1880s, founded the original Life Magazine (the humor periodical) and was the editor for many years.

***"The stories are gentler than what passes for humor today, but what's surprising is how current some of them are. Human folly doesn't change much from decade to decade."
