Mister Ron's Basement #1743

This week, we will be exploring the 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. Various collections of his work were published over the years.

Today, we begin with a 'Fairy Tale' about species justice from 1893 entitled 'The Average Dog and the Usual Man.'

Time: approx six minutes.
