This American classic is a humorous turn-of-the-century story about
a train agent and the definition of a guinea pig. This hilarious
tale of bureaucracy run amok at the Interurban Express Company, and
exponential growth of the Guinea pig population shows what can
happen when ignorance and bureaucrats get together and decide its
fate when anyone with just plain common sense can solve the problem
in less than one minute.Ellis Parker Butler (1869-1937) was a
native of Muscatine, Iowa. Dropping out of high school to help
support the family he worked in a number of jobs including ones in
a spice mill, an oatmeal mill, a china store, and a wholesale
grocery. Moving to New York City in 1896, he began writing for
trade magazines such as the Tailor's Review, the Wall Paper News,
and The Decorative Furnisher.In 1905, his humorous short story,
Pigs is Pigs appeared in the American Magazine, and the following
year it was published in book form. Its phenomenal success allowed
Butler to give up editing trade papers and turn to full-time
authorship.
