The Maddening Joke Field Played on Ferguson
A Kansas City Times editor Eugene Field ridiculed makeup worker John Ferguson with nightly personals about his drinking. Ferguson, a Wyandotte resident and temperance leader, endured the taunting in the paper’s composing room for over a year, fearing the note would be printed. The piece blends Field’s prank with quotes on true bravery and a street vignette about a mourning artist.
