There is the1, innocent but excitable man who has been entrapped into becoming one of a band of Anarchists, and who labors under the delusion that everyone is an agent from them bent on aeeoni- ' lishing itis death. Then there is the man who writes tracts and never takes anything alcoholic?but who is discovered in a most amusing stale J o! intoxication. There is an amaleur il elective who pines to outrival Sherlock Holmes, and who goes about 1 (racing unknown crimes to the doors j of unsuspecting persons. Then there' is the butler and his wife, and a pretty little trained nurse who gel themselves and everyone else involved in the most extraordinary predicaments j not to mention several minor characters who add their share to the fun making. It is a real farce with real laughter and real enjoyment. \ . Card of Thanks.
