Thur, Mar 25 2010 Mister Ron's Basement #1629 This week we are digging up some so-far-unread George Ade stories that are Worth Reading. Today's is quite funny! While the Fraternal Lodge is not as big a deal as it was back in 1900 when this story was written, there are still many people who join secret orders and clubs today. This is a story of a truly fanatical Club Joiner -- 'The Fable of the Lodge Fiend, and the Delilah Trick Played by His Wife.' Time: approx seven minutes The Mister Ron's Basement Full Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html The George Ade Catalog of Stories is at: http://ronevry.com/AdeCatalog.html There is a nifty interview with Mister Ron in issue #59 iProng Magazine (now known as Beatweek Magazine) which can be downloaded as a free pdf file here.
