Bacheller sets up as a hayseed philosopher. Here he comments on rising expectations of life style and how they are financed - by the merchant fathers raising the price of goods, and thus 'taxing' their customers to pay for their childrens' educations and inflated expectations. Soc. Potter is the voice of reason and restraint. The dialog is dated and a bit hickish, but his observations are still remarkably fresh.
Green cloth cover & decorative page borders. Octavo, pp. [1-4] [1] 2-60, inserted frontispiece with illustration by H. S. Potter, original pictorial blue green cloth stamped in yellow and black. First edition. A single short story.

It deals with the fight of our fathers for Liberty, dramatically involved with the love of a boy for a girl. Here is the drama of our nation's birth, and how it might never have been played but for Franklin's unassailable integrity.
