TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Ne,cs relates the following
story at the expense of Senator ingalls,
of Kansas: One of ingalls, constitu-
ents, rough-looking fellow of the
cowboy type, sent in his card to the
Senator the other day, and seated him
self in the marble-room to await the
latter's arrival. When ingalls, made
his appearance some one else engaged
him in conversation. AT its conclusion
he started to re.enter the chamber,
having apparently forgotten the pur-
pose for which he had quilted it. At
that moment the cowboy seized him.
"Be You Senator? ?" he inquired. In
gals gently disengaged himself and
answered, with unusual dignity II

old ingalls, of Kansas ?" was the next
interrOgatory. ingalls, shot piercing

Senate employees had gathered around

the visitor. II wish you would tell him

and If he doesn't hurry out here pretty

"Do you know ingalls, ?" inquired the
Kansas Senator, with nonchalant air.

rogatory. "Well, don't know" said
the fellow, with great deliberation,
"but expect you crowd him mighty
close" At this point Mr. ingalls, made
his escape into the Senate chamber,
trying to look responsive to the roars
of laughter which followed him. The
constituent has not had his interview
yet.

Poisonous ice Cream.

During the present season there have
occurred two instances of violent poison
ing from ice cream. The symptoms were
those Of irr;tant poisoning, combined
with certain nervous effects, such as dir
illness, double vision, headache, great
muscular weakness and sense of wcari-
ness. They are precisely the same rs
those appearing in cheese poisoning. In
both forms the milk appears to have I'M
dergonc some peculiar change, probably
due to the work of a special microbc.
DR.. Vaughan, Of Ann Arbor, Michigan,
has investigated some cheese that had
produced poisoning, and from that as
we'll as from the deadly ice cream of the
Michigan cases this year, he has sue
.cceded in extracting n crystalline poison,
not before described, which produced
similar effects upon animals upon which
he had made experiments. The symp-
toms were like those produced by arsenic,
but tho chemical examination showed
that substance was not present. The
gallant but economical young man has
now = valid objection to entering m ice
cream saloon, and this pointer may be
of value to him. Ordinary putrefaction
does not develop this poison in cheese.
hence there must be some special cause
at work in the instances where poisoning
occurs from making Use of it.-St. Louis

Comic Pagers in America.

brought out about 1916 by Foster, of the
New York Tribune. 1t was called Yankee
Doodle and was constructed on the pat
tern of Punch. It was funny, but it lived
only a year or two and was succeeded by
John Donksy, into which John Brougham
poured the best wit of his life. This
struggled along two or three years, was
admired, laughed over and quoted BY
the few and neglected by the many till i,
