Tn. Terrible Ice Cream Habit.

Nothing indicates the approach OF

slice of ice cream at banquet now ana
then, comes forth each spring with the
first persptration and takes undisputed
possession of the land.
Eating ice cream is one of the great
est Of American pastimes. incidentally
it is one Of the greatest American
vices, according to European ideas.
Residents of Europe look placidly
upon the attempt Of Americans to drink
up all the alcohol which can be made.
even with the distilleries working
nights; but when they see an American
girl getting outside Of quart of ice
cream, washed down with Ice water.
they shudder with fear and wait around
for the coroner to arrive.
They believe that the American di-
gestion has been gradually frozen out
by ice cream and other cold delicacies.
and that the American nation will be-
come extinct or go .into cold storage
within q few years. It lie useless to tell
the European that the death rate IN
this country IL decreasing, and that
doctors have had to invent Appendix

European always makes up his own

Americans who quarrel with citizens
of Latin Europe are invited to fight
duels with pistols and swords. How
ever, they should, in the interests OF
peace. challenge their enemies to eat
a gallon Of ice cream. This would kill
the dueling business in no time.
Ice cream has become habit in this
country, just as bread and butter and

SEEING AND HOLDING A CITY.
Vera Cruz an Illustration Of What May
Aapepn in Mexico.

Hapepn in Mexico.
If the occupation is to be Of long
duration the administrative capacity of
the army will receive severe test at
Vera Cruz. The city has about 10000
inhabitants. Our armed forces ashore
now number nearly 10000.
Seizure Of the town not only STAN
peded the local government, but
brought to an end most OF the local
commerce and industry. AS the rail-
road to the City Of Mexico is not in
operation at Vera Cruz. the traffic with
the interior, which gave the seaport its
chief Importance, has been suspended.
On the water side the North Atlantic
fleet is anchored. On the land side,
fifteen miles from the shore, there are
various camps Of Mexican SOL
diers in the service Of Gen. Huerta.
The most advanced American outpost
is at the waterWorks. ten miles from
the city. Farmers and others inside
the Mexican lines, who would like to
dispose Of their produce in Vera Cruz
as usual, are stopped by native pick
cts.
Thus. in the city the question OF food
supplies intensifies the ordinary prob
lens of government by aliens The mil
itary governor, who is General Funston
himself, Is directly charged not only
with the command OF his troops. who
are in possession Of a city that Is prac-
