The Fable of the Sorrows of the Unemployed and the Danger of Changing from Bill to Harold (1915)
In a certain western town, an early settler had cabbaged all the corner lots and main street frontage. His son, William H., married Leonora, who was of nice family, though they owed money. After "Old Badger" Jimpson had changed his address to "Over There," the large end of the Scads went to William H. and he changed his name to "W. Harold." Harold began to find $100 bills in his clothes when he was looking for a card. This vexed him so he invested in bonds. The next year they threw up a shack with onyx foundation, overlooking the sea. Leonora gave a few dog parties and one for a prince, but these gayeties petered out. At last, becoming desperate, she fell in love with her husband, which gave rise to much scandal, and they had to go abroad to live it down. Moral: Beware of government bonds.
