Then Tell This Farmer Who Poisoned
His Whisky.

Manhattan. Kan, Jan. Aft anyone
will tell William johnson who placed a
bottle of 'doped' whisky in his mail box
three or four weeks ago, johnson will pay
them cash reward of $50.
/ Johnson likes his whisky but he doesn-t
have any particular fancy for the stuff
when it is doped like that which some
body fixed up and left in his mail box
for him. Johnson drank the dope and he
nearly died. Now Johnson is Offering to
pay a reward of $50 for information lead

mixed the stuff.
Johnson is a farmer living near Flush
He is married but his wife has left him
and johnson lives alone. He is quite well
known in Manhattan.
About a month ago Johnson found a
half pint bottle in his mail box. 1t was
labeled whisky and looked like whisky 50

wife, and gets his own sweetheart to
pose as one of his children, and an
adult guest to answer as his son. 1t
is from the comic embarrassments
growing out of this first situation that
attendant disadventures consequent
upon the first deception follow one
another throughout the play. The
main love interest is introduced at the
very outset, with the arrival of the
uncle, who brings with him Yvonne
Sherry, young niece just out. of a
convent. This role is carried by
Gypsie Dale, a little Britisher, who
first interested London in the quaint
and dainty character of Yvonne.

with the orchestra will be recorded as
a memorable event.
