New York Tribune: Senator Ingalls,
story of his brother. DR.. ingalls,, who IS
at the head of an educational institute in
Missouri DR.. Ingalls, has puzzled the
community of which he is a member by
remaining IN lonely state OF single
blessedness; not only puzzled, but, IN
some degree, offended, for the doctor is
most agreeable man. and there are in the
community some very agreeable women.
The matter was discussed at many sewing
circles, and finally one old maid volun-
teered to convey the sense of the COM
munity on the subject to the offender.
When she called on the doctor she put the
question rather bluntly:
Doctor she said, "the ladies are very
anxious to know why you have never
married in these many years you have
been among u.s."
MADAME" said DR.. ingalls,, with all
the suavity of manner which he could
muster up for the occasion, you may in
form the ladies that at least it has not
been for lack of opportunity"
And it is said that the doctor is not near
" so popular now among the ladies of his
acquaintance as he was before the inquiry
was institutey.
