Jack London tells us what it what like to join "Kelly's Army" , also called "Kellys Industrial Army" as one of two thousand unemployed men riding the rails and rivers on their way to Washington DC to protest for support for the unemployed in 1894. . This is one chapter from his book "The Road", of which we have already done three chapters- "Pictures", "Hoboes That Pass In the Night", and "Bulls".

"Sunday Ball" by author Zane Grey gives us a rare look at the early days of baseball in middle America, what it meant to small towns, what people thought of it, and in this case, what moral dilemmas were caused when certain teams and towns started playing baseball on Sundays. Zane Grey's story is a window into time, and a true one, because we know that he played minor league ball for years, earning a scholarship to The University of Pennsylvania, where he played ball and studied to become a dentist, following in the footsteps of his father. But his real passion wasn't dentistry-it was writing, and he found every opportunity he could during his professional career as a dentist to write. His first success came at age 37, with the book "The Shortstop", from which we have taken Chapter 13, "Sunday Ball", at the recommendation of one of our listeners, Dr. Gerald G Gelle, DDS, who is a dentist who also enjoys baseball as well as 1001 Classic Short Stories Podcast and Zane Grey.

In part two the travelers are growing more and more resentful of Boule de Suif as she continues to say no to the German officer- and they concoct devious ways to try to convince her that it is her patriotic duty to give in. Featured here: "La Marseilles" (near end), is the National Anthem of France. the song was written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Roget de Lisle in Strasbourg after the declaration of of war by France against Austria and was and is considered a patriotic war song. You might remember in Casablanca (at 1001 Heroes) in Rick's Bar, as the Germans began to sing their patriotic song, the free French in the bar countered with La Marseilles.

First published in April of 1880, "Boule de Suif" is one of Maupassant's most famous and important stories. The term 'Boule de Suif' is most often translated as "Dumpling" or "Ball of Lard". The use of this no longer acceptable term for bigness was prevalent in those days and society's upper crust felt no guilt in using it in the presence of persons they thought of as coming from a lower class. In this story a carriage load of persons escaping the German occupation of their city of Rouen, France are traveling to Havre where they believe their French countrymen are still in control.. The division of classes evident throughout the trip allows Maupassant to hand a stinging rebuke to the ills of French society at the time, as one of the passengers, a courtesan, meaning a prostitute, is nicknamed 'Boule de Suif'. She, having thought to bring the only food, suddenly becomes popular when the trip bogs down into a 15 hour journey..
