Fables in Slang
by
George Ade
Herbert S. Stone and Company, Chicago & New York
The Fable of the Visitor Who Got a Lot for Three Dollars.
The Learned Phrenologist sat in his Office surrounded by his Whiskers.
Now and then he put a Forefinger to his Brow and glanced at the Mirror to make sure that he still resembled William Cullen Bryant.
Near him, on a Table, was Pallid Head made of Plaster-of-Paris and stickily ornamented with small Labels. On the wall was a Chart showing that the Orangoutang does not have Daniel Webster's facial angle.
`Is the Graft played out?' asked the Learned phrenologist, as he waited. `Is Science up against it or What?'
Then he heard the fall of Heavy Feet and resumed his Imitation. The Door opened and there came into the Room a tall, rangy person with a Head in the shape of a Rocky Ford Cantaloupe.

The Easy Mark collapsed . . .
