Mister Ron's Basement #786

Our Monday book serialization is George Ade's 1903 collection, 'In Babel -- Stories of Chicago.'

The stories in this book range from the hysterically funny to the pathetically sad. Altogether, they paint a fascinating portrait of turn-of-the-last-century Chicago.

Two families have it out in court, but their babies don't understand it in 'The Feud.'

Time: approx six and a half minutes
