Mr. Four Flush

• Watchlist

Mr. Four Flush relates to his fellow club members (on being questioned on his return as to where he has been) his wonderful experiences and adventures while traveling in foreign lands. We find Mr. Four Flush enwrapped in effusive smiles and weighted under a heavy load of importance. Arriving at his accustomed haunt, the club, after an absence of six months, he is at once surrounded by a curious crowd all eager to learn of the wonderful doings of Mr. Flush. He asks for a globe of the world that he may be more accurate and convincing in his argument. Upon his departure it is clearly visible upon the countenances of his hearers that they have not fallen victims to his hypnotic bunk and have ideas of their own not altogether in unison with the returned prodigal. Just then some kind and indulgent scandalmonger who has discovered the truth, tells the club the real facts and reason for Flush's absence. The chesty rival of Munchausen is soon confronted with the report and wilts before his accusers after being convinced that his vacation had just been spent in jail, with the light exercises of juggling six-pound hammers on large and inviting stones. He finishes on the water wagon, and the time-worn expression is visible on his face: Never Again!
