the Jones Case was radiant as nev"
er before. Mr. Jones, proprietor,
was in splendid humor all day b i g
and his ever devoted companion
took advantage of this by having
him remove any cob webs that
might appear and scrub the place
from back to front. And so be,
Shortie and Tobe worked. Mr.
Jones was fooled to the show
where Mr. Wright obligated him
by making him ticket master for
the evening. While this was go

beyond expression, he gave great
est vent to his feeling with pleas
ant smiles.
