season.
An innocent little falsehool origi-
nally told by Jack Temple in order
10 save himself from the unjust
wrath of his loving but jealous Wife
starts the trouble This one little fib
is gradually developed until it be-
comes yeritable labyrinth of false
hoods which assumes such immense
proportions that finally the tangle
threatens to undo forever the happi-
ness of three bhssful households.
Temple pulls his friend, Fuller. into
the mix-up to vouch for the truth
of the original fib, and Fuller oblig
ingiy assumes the name of Brown in
order to help the worried Temple
out of his difficulties. Then appears
the real Mrs. Brown who vents her
wrath on innocent Mrs. Temple. Tho
genuine Mr. Brown and the true Mrs.
Fuller come successfully into the
plot with an added complication at
every entry until the whole affair is
in such a tangle that it is an appar-
ent impossibility to straighten the
matter out The audience is kept in
one continuous CONFUSION of laugh
ter from the initial rise of the cur
tain until its final fall by the num-
berless ludicrous complications,
which are of course finally cleared
up by straightforward recital of
truthful facts

Trains February l.


On February ! ticket auditors

cific, to cover the entire system from
San Francisco to New Orleans. 1t
has been learned that every line in
the state VIII put on ticket auditors,
who will so through all passenger
trains and take up the tickets and
collect from those who have not pro-
vided themselves with tickets. The
Santa Fe line installed auditors re-
Gently. ~
1t is stated that this move is the
result of decision reached by the
general managers during a recent
meeting. the managers of every line
in the state having agreed to try the
ticket auditor system for one year.
This means that the Houston and
Texas Central, the Houston, East
and West Texas, the Trinity and
Brazos Valley the International and
Great Northern and the st. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico Will put on
ticket auditors. Good men tor these
places, il is stated, are scarce, and
while it is the purpose of all the
lines to install the systemxas soon
as possible, Ii is not expe4ed that
they VIII all be able 10 secure men
by the first OF February.
A couple of years ago the Southern
Pacific had special agents on the
passenger trains, who went through
and examined tickets. These, how
ever, did not take up tickets Under
the new arrangement the conductors
will operate their trains and keep

thing TO do with the collection OF
fares.

on all passenger trains for num-
Der of years.
