Mister Ron's Basement #849

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.

Today's story is of a working class family elevated despite themselves by no-nonsense daughter named Rosie in 'Best of the Farleys.'

Time: approx eleven minutes
