Mr. Jarr's Big Vacation (1915)
One Saturday half-holiday, Jarr gets his vacation money and starts for home. Jack Silver, after a strenuous night has resolved to swear off and lead the simple life for a while at Uncle Henry's country place, where the Jarrs are going. He accordingly throws the last bottle of whiskey in the place out the window. It is Jarr's ill luck to be passing underneath at the time. He is knocked down, receives a whiskey bath, and loses his wallet with his vacation money. In his dazed condition and smelling strongly of spirits, Mrs. Jarr thinks, when her husband gets home, he has been drinking again. Fortunately for all, Willie Jarr happens to find the pocketbook and brings it home. Mrs. Jarr confiscates it and goes on to Uncle Henry's with the children, leaving Jarr home alone and penniless. After trying to accumulate the price of a railroad ticket, poor Jarr is reduced to begging. He finally collects the necessary amount only to find he has missed the last train. Then on his arrival at the country town via freight, in taking a short-cut across a guarded melon patch, he gets shot full of salt by a farmer. This scares him so he wades right through half a dozen glass hot-bed frames with the farmer and his dog close behind. His family barely save him from annihilation. Jack Silver fully corroborates Jarr's story of the whiskey bottle incident, then all is forgiven.
