Mister Ron's Basement #1102

We are presenting some really, really early stories by Stephen Leacock, that originally appeared in Truth Magazine in the 1890s. They're brilliantly funny.

Today's tale in circular logic is called 'On the Old Homestead.' It was also published with the title 'Uncle Oatcake Explains.'

Time: approx five and a half minutes
