Ioe Cream in Paper.


The Danbury man says that Mr..
Rogers, of Winchester street, thought
he would surprise his wife and few
of her friends with On ice Cream treat,
some time ago, as the weather was
dreadiully hot. So he went into the
confectionery, and ordered q quart,
and had it put up in several thick
ncsses of paper, sugar loaf style. The
confectioner told him how to carry it,
and Mr.. Rogers gripped it, and has
toned toward home. About three
blocks from the house he met q neigh
Dor that was going homo on the Same
mission, and both of them stopped to
remark on tho coincidence. Then
they fell to talking about "Betsy and
l are Out" and trying to compromise
on the authorship, but didn't mako
much headway. Rogers, who was q
personal friend Of Miss Emerson,
claimed that she did not write the po-
ON, and tried TO throw the odium of
the authorship upon Carlton. Tho
neighbor was indignant at this, as he
favored Carlton, and made the rather
strong assertion that Miss Il. was not
too good to writo it. Hero Rogers
lost his temper, and the neighbor
missed his, and both of them wcro
laying themselves out for one of the
grandest intellectual tussels ever seen
in that ward, when a sudden and se-
we're chill along his left leg startled
Rogers into a recollection of his or.
rand, and looking down the unhappy
friend of Miss Emerson was shocked
beyond description to SEQ pair of
doeskin pants blighted in the bud, and
to find that the entire contents of the
paper package, with tho exception of
triae caught in one shoe, had noise
lossly disappeared. "Godfornitus |"
said Mr.. Rogers, and Immediately
started for home. The neighbor was
appropriately panied by the accident,
but was of the private opinien that it
was sort Of Judgment from heaven
on Rogers, but whether for stopping
to talk when carrying ice cream, or
for his literary viows he could not tell.
When ho got homo he told his wife
about it, and sat down to pull off his
boots. Then he bounded up and shot
one hand behind him, and howled ;
and shot the other hand back there
and howled again. Then he jumped
around and tore away at his coat,
which was a new dress pattern, and
hurled in remarks about religion and
business, and all the while that coat
wept great tears of vanilla, and drop
ped them on the furniture and wall
paper, and buried them in the carpet
and dashed them against the blanched
cheeks Of the astonished wife. Itwas
some fifteen minutes before she found
out that in zeal for Carlton no had
jammed his package of leo cream into
one Of his coat tail pockets. The next
morning he hunted up Rogers and di
vided with him the express charge on
a package of clothing to the Howard
Mission.
