Excerpt from Fun and Pathos of One Life

The existence of man from birth to death is a series of encounters. To preserve in type some of the incidents that have come into the life of one person, Fun and Pathos of One Life has been written. If they should create a single smile or awaken one kind thought in the lives of men the author will have been well paid for the hours spent on the little volume. The contents are not wholly original, but quite as original as are most human things, for under the sun there is nothing new. The booklet was written for pastime and is respectfully dedicated to all who buy it and pay the regular price. For the disappointed reader there will be plenty of sympathy, but no rebate.

Excerpt from Fun and Pathos of One Life

Jack Stanley belonged to that type of men who come into the world, pass through it - and make an exit - without creating commotion; but who get all that belong to them of fun and pathos; and human life is after all simply fun and pathos.

He was born of poor and honest parents; not "poor but honest," as the thoughtless are prone to say, thus reflecting upon the poor as if it were unusual to be poor and honest at the same time. His father was a good man, and a frank one, for in his will he said laconically, "To my son Jack I bequeath a strong frame and a true heart, together with as much of the earth as he can occupy by his own efforts." Jack accepted the legacy in the spirit of a worthy son, knowing his father would have left him two thousand a year in the concrete, rather than a section of the earth in the abstract, if it had been in his power. Thus he went forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and without reproach.
