When I was a raggedy kid running around Rensselaer in the early 1950s, myself and Jim Boles were coerced (by out mothers) into traveling to Brook, IN to keep company with an old, old (wealthy) gentleman called "Scrappy" Warre. Scrappy had been a life-long friend of George Ade and told us stories about him. I don't remember any of those tales, but I do remember that Scrappy told us that all the nouns in George Ade's work were capitalized simply because that was the writing style of fables in Chicago at the time.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15477478722994821078noreply@blogger.com
