Dooley lists contenders for the world’s greatest dead men
In Finley Peter Dunne’s Dooley piece, Mr Dooley and Mr Hennessy joke about picks for history’s greatest dead men. The narrator notes Andrew Carnegie started the list and that Shakespeare Washington Lincoln appear, with many humorous, local asides. The talk expands to suspenders, beer pumps, and inventions, ending with Malachi Hinnissy as a notable new figure, and a warning that future selections will vary.
