He Saw the Point.

From the Youths Companion.
The following story is told of Phila-
delphia millionaire who has been dead
for some years. A young man came to
him one day and asked pecuniary aid to
start him in business.
"Do you drink?" asked the millior-
aire.
"Once in a WHILE"
"stop it! Stop it for year and then
come and See me-"
The young man broke off the habit at
once, and at the end of the year came to
see the millionaire again.
"Do you smoker" asked the successful
man.
"Now and them"
"Stop ii! Stop it for a year and then
come and see me again."
The young man went home and broke
away from this habit. 1t took him
some time, but finally he worried thro'
the year, and presented himself again.
"Do you chew?" asked the philan-
thropist.
"Yes, 1 do, twas the desperate reply
"Stop il! Stop it for a year; then
come and see me again."
The young man stopped chewing, bu,
he never went back again. When asked
by his anxious friends why he never
called on the millionaire again he re-
piled that he knew exactly what the

The "kid bell" has become an insti-
tuition in Wellston's government. Few
people real;zs the benefcent effect it
has had upon our customs and habits
of living. A few years ago business
hours were all day and most of the
night. The streets were frequented at
all times, daylight or dark. Children
gathered in the shaded corners where
every opportunity was given for mis-
chief and crime. The gangs of boy
thieves that operated then are q part
of Wellston's history but their depre-
dations were too serious to be yet for
gotten. Four years of uninterrupted
enforcement of the curfew ordinance
has completely changed these condi-
tions The streets were first cleared
of children early every evening. Grad
ually the citizens adjusted their work
and business to it. Today business
really closes at the ringing of the eight
o'clock bell. The streets which are toe
well filed at six o'clock are practically
empty at nine. O.her influences may
have had part in the work. but the

tract from his speech:
"Mr. Quay has been called the Ma
poleon of politics. Lebanon, 1 venture
to predict, ia his Waterloo-after Water

sents that which is demoralizing in
politics; he represents that which is de-
basing to public sentiment; that which
is degrading to popular moralf; that
which defeats honorable ambition, and
that which stimulates unworthy ambi-
tion, which may be used for personal
ends. He has turned the Republican
organization in Pennsylvania into q

existence, save that it serves his politi-

The Origin Of Ice Cream.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazaar.
"The New York Post Boy" of June 8,
1855. makes this announcement: "Ladies
aud gentlemen may be supplied with ice
cream every day at the City tavern by
their humble servant, Joseph Cove"
At ball given by Mrs. Johnston in
New York on December IL, 1889, there
were served pyramids of red and white
ice cream, with punch and liquors, rose
cannamon and parfait amour" Ice
cream was first introduced at the Ma
tional capital by Mrs. Alexander Hsmil-
ton, who had it in her home in New
York. She used to tell with amuse-
ment of the delight with which Presi-
dent Jackson first tasted it, and how he
promptly decided to have ices at the
Executive Mansion. Accordingly, guests
at the next reception we're treated to
the fir, z,n mystery, and afforded con-
siderable fun to the initiated by the re-
'uctance with which they tasted it
Tho se from the rural districts, especial.
ly then melted each spoonful with
breath before consuming it. Their dis
trust was soon removed, however, AMI
u ties were emptied with great rapiditv.
The man who made the cream was,
oddly enough, negro by the name OF
Jackson, who in the early part of the
present century kept small confec-
tionery store in Washington. Cold GUS
tards, which were cooled after being
made by setting them on cake of ice,
were very fashionable, and Jackson, at
Mrs. Hamilton's suggestion, frozs them
by placing the ingredients in q tin
bucket and completely covering in with
ice. Each bucket contained quart and
was sold for 81. 1t immedietely be-
came popular; and the inventor soon
enlarged his store, and when he died left
a considerable fortune. A good many
tried to follow his example, and ice
cream was hawked about the streets,
being wheeled along very much as the
hokeypokey carts are now, but none OF
them succeeded in obtaining tt Q fave I
that Jackaon had in his product.
