A Disseminating View.

1t is unsafe to judge by appear
ances, even the most agreeable ones.
The bachelor who is interested in the
experiences of his married friends
was in a car with couple with whom
he was acquainted. 1t was rainy
morning, relates Youths Companion.
The young wife had her umbrella
well out of the way of those who
passed up and down the car, but a
numbering, overgrown boy, on his
passage to the door, managed to hit
it with one foot, fall over it, and
break it before he regained his bal
ance.
"Oh, I'm sorry I broke It'll" STAN
mered the unfortunate, with scarlet
face. ''I-I'd like to pay"
'Never mind. I'm sure it wasn't
your fault" and the lady smiled up
at him without a trace of anger or
even irritation on her face.
"Wen, must say your wife is an
ANGEL" exclaimed the bachelor
warmly. "Most women would have
withered that clumsy boy with a
look, if they hadn't scorched him with
words
''She is an angel" said the married
man, as he picked up the pieces of
the umbrella and smiled quizzically
at his wife, ''but she wanted a new
umbrella for a month, and now she
knows I'll get get it for her. It's a
sad world, isn't it? full of disappoint-
ments and disenchantments."

The report that thirty or forty
persons had been poisoned by eating
ice cream Friday and Saturday has
been going the rounds of the city
during the past two days. There is
no doubt that many became suddenly
i'll after eating ice cream, but this is
not sufficient proof that the cream
was the cause of all the trouble.
Some are inclined to blame Barnes
& Voyer for selling the impure ice
cream. but this seems very unjust, as
they had done all in their power to
serve their patrons we'll. In an inter-
view with these gentlemen they said:
Barnes { Voyer's Statement.
"We use the best cream we can
buy; also use Van Zant's best vanilla
flavoring. No chemicals are put into
the cream we..s A TO-
gallon freezer seems to have caused
all the trouble. Five gallons from
this freezer were sent to MickleSon'S
stand on Dudley's lawn and five
gallonsswere sold by the dish at the
candy kitchen. We sold IS gallons
and had no complaints come in. We
did not hear Of any complaints until
all of the ten tgallons had been sold.
Had we learned of any we would have
closed our doors for the day. We
telephOned all who had bought cream
to find out if any one was sick from
eating cream. l don't see how we
are to blame in this matter. The
doctors are not sure if it was the ice
cream that made the people sick or
whether il was because they ate lot
of other stuff"
What Some 81 the Physicians Say.

ice cream poisoning. 1t looked much
like gastro-enteritis, caused by some
obnoxious substance in the stomach.
[ had eight cases, three adults and
five children, and all the symptoms
were alike, vomiting and cramps"
DR.. Ridgman made the following
statement: cit is ridiculous to blame
the ice cream vendors for the sickness
Of the Fourth. / have had cases to
attend every Fourth. The symptoms
were the same as those of patients
who had not touched ice cream.
People on the Fourth cram everything
they can into their Stomachs. This is
evidenced by the condition of the
StomachS of those I attended during
the Fourth. When people overcrowd
their stomachs, nature simply does it's
work and makes them vomit and then
the public calls it poisoning. / can
not conscientiously say it was ice
cream poisoning"
