Oh! What's the Use?

Mandy promises to marry Bob, if Shultz, her father, will consent. Shultz dislikes Bob, so the young couple are upset, that is, until the real boss of the house, Shultz's wife, has her say. The matter then becomes one of violent contention. The Shultz household is brought close to rupture. Shultz had planned to spend a few weeks hunting with a couple of boon companions, all unbeknown to Wifie. She discovers his scheme and promptly locks him up. This is too much for Shultz; it is the culmination of many woes. He decides to die. But the old horse pistol is cartridgeless, the poison bottle empty, and his leap of despair from the second story window is softly broken. Nothing remains but a watery grave.
