Editor's Note: "The Limited Mail" debuted in Chicago in 1891 and was a Melodrama if the poster doesn't convey that. It was turned into a silent movie in 1925. I still marvel at the theater going farmers in my past.
So how many days did Allen last at the basket factory? I think maybe three total before he chucked it all in. He's not lazy so I'm not sure what put him off the work. Who is Edna Watson?
In 1901, I'm hoping that the Page family wanted him to kill that cow.
