Excerpt from Wanted: A Fool: A Novel

Dear sir: I hereby apply for the position you offer in to-day's Herald, for the sole and simple reason that it is, apparently, the only job on earth which is Open to me.

I do prefer a quiet respectable home, but if the job offered were dirty and noisy I would apply just the same. I have no objections to high wages, but in my present state Of mind would take any I could get.

I have no useful trade or profession whatsoever. I am awkward and unskillful at everything which you would be likely to require. I am exceedingly proud and have a temper like a match, but, if I have to, can keep it under control. At various times in the past I have had almost every bad habit but have none at present. I am too poor even to be wicked. I have been in the army but did not win the war single-handed. I have never been interviewed by Pershing, Foch, or King George.
