History of Ice Cream.

Many persons think that Dolly Madison invented ice cream, but Thyra Samter Winslow, writing in the Illustrated World, declares that uOl 1 i* disPn was merely the first person to serve it in America. This was at a White House reception during the administration of President Madison. The guests liked ice cream so well that they asked how it was made, and from this small beginning ' the ice cream business has grown until, according to a creamery ex pert who has followed the development of the business in America, tii<American people last year consumed 250,000,000 gallons, which, figured at SO cents a gallon, means a business of $200,000,000. The first Ice cream was made by a London confectioner, name Gunton, and from him others learned to make it, and it was introduced to America by Dolly Madison. But his methods of freezing were crude and uncertain. It remained for Nancy Johnson, the wife of an American naval officer, to invent the ice cream freezer. Today the ice cream business has outgrown the small freezer. Vast quantities are frozen by special machinery. The industry has become so great that fortunes have been made out of it. And every’ year it increases. During the last 10 years the consumption of ice cream in the I nited States doubled. In the north eastern states there has been a steady growth for many years. The southern and western states like ice cream especially in the summer, but in the northeastern states it has become a winter as well as a summer dish, although, of course, much more is consumed in the summer. When Ice cream became the national dish, the manufacturers demanded better dairy products, and they have done much in the campaign for clean milk The rise of the industry also created a large demand for flavoring.:, soda fountain equipmeht, etc., and it introduced a new' and profitable feature into the drug business. It is es timated that the average consumption in the United States is 60 dishes a year for each person.—Exchange.

Young Smith was finally located in Missouri.

The police were unable to cope with the situation, as also were the firemen. Practically all th. street cars were badly damaged by the mob. It was said that none of the striking men were members of the mob. The strike Is due to tha fact that the street car company refused the pay an Increase, shorter hours and recognition of the union.

The Boy That Was.

When the hair about the temples starts to show the signs of gray. And a fellow realizes that he’s wandering far away From the pleasures of his boyhood and his youth and never more Will know the joy of laughter as he did in days of yore, Oh, It’s then he starts to thinking of a stubby little lad With a face as brown as berries and a soul supremely glad. When a gray-haired dreamer wanders down the lanes of memory And forgets the living present for the time of "used-to-be’’; He takes off his shoes and stockings, and he throws his coat away, And he’s free from all restrictions, save the rules of manly play. He may be in tattered garments, but bareheaded in the sun He forgets his proud successes and the riches he has won. Oh, there’s not a man that llveth but would give his all to be The stubby little fellow that In dreamland he can see, And the splendors that surround him and the joys about him spread Only seem to rise to taunt him with the boyhood that has fled. When the hair about the temples starts to show Time’s silver stain. Then the richest man that’s living yearns to be a boy again. —Houston Post.
