Poor Rout left his wife and children unprovided for. His wages were shortened by the work of the heathen Chines, and his life was shortened by the same party's filth. His unfortun- ate family would thankfully receive anything except an Amateur Theatri- cal Benefit.

While taking out his handkerchief in the presence of the parents, he pulled out a pack of cards and an old racing book.
