A Houseboat on the Styx

John Kendrick Bangs

The ferryman of the Styx, Charon, is in a foul temper. All of the sudden he seems to have competition upon the waters coursing between Life and Death -- for here is a beautiful, spacious houseboat on his river

"Ahoy " calls a shade from the strange boat. "The House Committee wants to see you, Charon "

"And who is this committee?" answers the irritated ferryman.

"Why, Sir Walter Raleigh, Cassius, Demosthenes, Blackstone, Doctor Johnson, and Confucius, of course "
