Whirligigs: This was another great short-story book by O. Henry. Lots of stories from the 1800&#39 s, many on the frontier, many humorous. This book included the famous story, " The Ransom of Red Chief." In " Calloway&#39 s Code" , a reporter covering the Russo-Japanese War wants to get a story by the Japanese censors. He comes up with an ingenious code, but back in New York, his editor can&#39 t make sense of it. He consults all sorts of newspapermen, but no one can crack it. Then an unassuming reporter looks at it and realizes Calloway&#39 s made use of all the newspaper cliches. " Hotly" stands for " contested" , " brute" for " force" , " beggars" for " description" , and so on. " Tommy&#39 s Burglar" is also about cliches, this one the sentimental story of how a burglar is confronted by a small boy as he steals the few valuables of a family of modest means. The boy offers him a meal and then feeling guilty and ashamed, he becomes a new man. But in this version, the characters know they are in the story and any sentimentality is dispatched with haste. This is true meta-fiction at its best.&nbsp " A little Local Colour" a fellow tells his friend he wants to experience the local color of the Bowery. When they come upon a man spewing all the slang he&#39 d come to expect from reading about it, he learns the man is actually a college professor given to affectation. When they meet a real man of the Bowery, he uses impeccable English and is annoyed at the insinuation he&#39 d do anything else. Here O. Henry is making fun of the way writers&#39 , newspapers, magazines, etc, had made dialect into a fetish. What might have been refreshing with the advent Tom Swayer had become both tired and preposterous. Contents The world and the door -- The theory and the hound -- The hypotheses of failure -- Calloway&#39 s code -- A matter of mean elevation -- " Girl" -- Sociology in serge and straw -- The ransom of Red Chief -- The marry month of May -- A technical error -- Suite homes and their romance -- The whirligig of life -- A sacrifice hit -- The roads we take -- A blackjack bargainer -- The song and the sergeant -- One dollar&#39 s worth -- A newspaper story -- Tommy&#39 s burglar -- A chaparral Christmas gift -- A little local colour -- Georgia&#39 s ruling -- Blind man&#39 s holiday -- Madame Bo-Peep, of the ranches. &nbsp, Englisch, Ebook.
