"These stories were first printed in the Chicago Record in the late nineties. They are boiled-down imitations of the haymow literature which was denounced by parents and encouraged by boys from the time of Horace Greeley up to the golden age ushered in by the comic strip ... Because these narratives are a reminder of thirty years ago, they have not been revised to brought up to date."--P. ix signed The Author.
