Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand-Made Fables The author is pleased to put a preface to this book, for the reason that he will be permitted to refrain from using "Foreword." A great many people who abhor slang pay to have their own books published so that they may indulge in "Foreword" - which is hereby designated as the musk perfumery of literature. The studies in American vernacular which comprise this volume first appeared in the Cosmopolitan magazine. The editors of the magazine have consented to a reprinting and are now publicly thanked by the author. Although the period in which these fables appeared enveloped the Great War and lapped over on the Great Unrest, the author has proceeded upon the theory that old Human Nature continues to do business, even during a cataclysm.

The Fable Of The Kittenish Superanns Ajst The World-Weary Snipes nce upon a Time an ambitious Cove separated himself from his native Shire and made a long Trek. He came of one of those Nice Families that had run out of nearly everything except Prestige. The Migrater carried a flossy Label. He had been christened Adelbert Justitian.! As he progressed from Pin-Feathers to the Age of Discretion, he became Joseph to the Cruel Knowledge that his swell Moniker, together with the Fact that his Father had been given a Sword by the Regiment, and the further Fact that his Aunt had contributed to the Atlantic Monthly, were not bringing in any Jack. They were Proud Possessions but he could not convert them into Pork Chops. He wanted a Roll. The Home-Town Method of slipping $2.75 every Saturday to the flaccid Willie in the Savings Bank did not look very Efficacious to Adelbert. He wanted his Gelt for himself and not for the acidulated Relatives who sent him the punk Christmas Cards. He went right out into what is called God's Country by the Promoters doing business there. Out where he could lean up against Ozone and Scenery. As soon as he escaped from his Social Prerogatives and became known as "Dell," he began to deliver the Trading Stamps and bring home the SideMeat. After many leaves had been torn from the Calendars issued by Insurance Companies, a self-made Millionaire showed up on the Native Heath. The local Fungi looked askance at the CowPuncher Hat, dented in from the Top with geometrical Nicety, but they warmed to the Long-Lost when they learned that he was there, much, yet and besides with all shapes of the needful Brass. The Adelbert Justitian did not harmonize with a Soft Collar. He had his Cards printed "A. J." and decided to chop on the...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Fables: With Many Engravings The fox being an animal remarkable for his cunning, and for the address with which he procures his food and avoids danger, we find him a very prominent character in the fables of Esop and others. It must be confessed, however, that many things are put to his account and laid to his charge, with which he could not have had anything to do; and I rather think that if he could be made to understand this fable, he would clear himself at once of all suspicions regarding depredations in a vineyard: a hen-house I fancy, is much more to his taste, and here his artifices and success are wonderful. However, we must let Esop te'l his story in his own way, merely accomodating him with a few rhymes, which we hope will convey his meaning.

Download or read book Up to Date Fables Classic Reprint written by R. B. Kerr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Up-to-Date Fables Public Opinion decided that man's sphere was the home, where he was not likely to learn too much. So the men worked hard at domestic duties from morning to night, while the women went out and worked at their occupations for eight or ten hours a day. After their work was over, the women went to concerts, theatres, and other places of amusement, and spent all their money over and above what they needed for the bare maintenance of the family. They never gave the men any money, but they gave them their food and clothes. They never dreamed of paying the men for their hard labor, for they considered a man very lucky to have a bread winner to save him from starvation. In spite of all precautions a number of young men found out the existence of-water and the fact that there was such a thing as washing. The effect of the discovery varied according to the temperament of the individual. The majority adhered to the belief that washing was wrong. Had not their grand mothers said it? Had not the priests said it? A number of others said that they did not believe washing was nice, and they would rather not hear about it at all. Some had a natural dis like to cleanliness, and never lost a chance of parading their virtue. On the other hand, there were some who scorned the conventional morality and boldly washed. Many more, how ever, pretended to be very moral, but secretly enjoyed the de lights of washing, to the injury of their characters and the great advancement of the art of lying.
