For the sake of educating the young child, a young family is determined and decided to always put money in the piggy bank. Why, place a cost on all the things forthcoming into the house, such as the United States Government did for all the articles forthcoming into the nation? But the evildoer is in the particulars and what about the taxable materials brought in by the tourists? Is the housekeeper herself a costly maiden? What products are really necessities rather than lavishness? When tourists arrive, these people deign to either rustling in their baggage articles to prevent having to pay up to more of its price, or dressed solely what they came garbed in. The masters are just as twofaced, but all factions blame the others of deceiving. How will the school fund cost? Will the tourist move away in a rant? Ellis Parker Butler was an American writer. He wrote over 30 books and over 2,000 stories and essays and is best known for his short fiction Pigs Is Pigs, in which an administrative stationmaster asserts on charging the cattle rate for a freight of two pet guinea pigs, which thereafter began multiplying increasingly. His highly popular character was Philo Gubb. His profession lasted over 40 years, and his stories, poems, and articles were distributed in over 225 magazines. His works of art were shown along with those of his contemporaries, such as Mark Twain, Sax Rohmer, James B. Hendryx, Berton Braley, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Don Marquis, Will Rogers, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. In spite of the large volume of his work, Ellis was only a casual writer. He worked the whole time as a banker and was very effective in his local society. He was one of the founders of both the Dutch Treat Club and the Authors League of America, Ellis was an active coerce in the New York City fictional setting.

THE HARD-BOILED EGG Walking close along the wall, to avoid the creaking floor boards, Philo Gubb, paper-hanger and student of the Rising Sun Detective Agency’s Correspondence School of Detecting, tiptoed to the door of the bedroom he shared with the mysterious Mr. Critz. In appearance Mr. Gubb was tall and gaunt, reminding one of a modern Don Quixote or a human flamingo; by nature Mr. Gubb was the gentlest and most simple-minded of men. Now, bending his long, angular body almost double, he placed his eye to a crack in the door panel and stared into the room. Within, just out of the limited area of Mr. Gubb’s vision, Roscoe Critz paused in his work and listened carefully. He heard the sharp whistle of Mr. Gubb’s breath as it cut against the sharp edge of the crack in the panel, and he knew he was being spied upon. He placed his chubby hands on his knees and smiled at the door, while a red flush of triumph spread over his face. Through the crack in the door Mr. Gubb could see the top of the washstand beside which Mr. Critz was sitting, but he could not see Mr. Critz. As he stared, however, he saw a plump hand appear and pick up, one by one, the articles lying on the washstand. They were: First, seven or eight half shells of English walnuts; second, a rubber shoe heel out of which a piece had been cut; third, a small rubber ball no larger than a pea; fourth, a paper-bound book; and lastly, a large and glittering brick of yellow gold. As the hand withdrew the golden brick, Mr. Gubb pressed his face closer against the door in his effort to see more, and suddenly the door flew open and Mr. Gubb sprawled on his hands and knees on the worn carpet of the bedroom. “There, now!” said Mr. Critz. “There, now! Serves you right. Hope you hurt chuself!” Mr. Gubb arose slowly, like a giraffe, and brushed his knees. “Why?” he asked.
