Origin of Ice Cream Soda.-Several

their earthly beginning at Elizabeth,

it is SO claimed) originated. at 1.-The
port" The story goes out there that
there was once a man there who kept
a soda fountain, and also sold ice
cream out of a can, relates the New
York Mail. UP to that time no one
had ever thought of combining soda
and ice cream. Those were primitive
days, and the Elizabeth man did not
have his fountain well cooled. One
day a customer called for some soda
water. and when he got it found that
it was quite warm. "Scotty," said he,
IF your soda water was as cold as
your ice cream it would taste better
HUH" answered the soda-fountain
man. "well, l guess l can make it So"
He thereupon took large spoonful
of ice cream out Of the can and plung-
ed it into the glass of soda water. The
customer found it delicious, and next
day he came along and demanded an
cream in it. Some one else tried 1t
and liked it, and the dealer soon found
that he had accidentally invented a
new drink-or a new food, whatever
it is. The fashion spread thence un-
til it has covered the whole country.

MASS OF MUD A MARQUIS
Nurses Surprised When Wounded
Soldier Was Revealed.

Soldier Was Revealed.
The women Of France in general
have been splendid in doing their bit
during the war. Numbers Of society
women have devoted themselves to
nursing the sick and wounded and
have done it very we'll. There are
some Of them, however, Of whom the
French medical corps have complained
bitterly; those who joined the Red
Cross pour passer lie temps" or to
wear the becoming white uniform Of
the "Garde malade," or even to flirt.
At a large hospital near Paris a
wounded soldier was brought straight
from the trenches. He was a mass Of
dry mud and an overpowering stencil
came from the clothing. The doctor
ordered that he should be undressed
and washed so that he could examine
the wounds. The amateur women
nurses in their Red Cross costumes
tried to do so, but though the spirit
was willing the flesh was weak and
one after the other had to give up the
attempt.
An orderly had to be called in to do
it, and did it so we'll that the mass of
mud was transformed into a fine,
we'll built young fellow with fair hair
and mustache. The women nurses
ran to attend to him, but he declined
their aid. BY the rules he was obliged
to take his food from them. When
they drew up to the bed card with
the dietry they were further surprised
to learn that he was the young Mar
quis de X, one Of the richest unmar-
ried men in France, and widely known
in American salons in Paris. The
ladies who refused to touch the dirty
soldier when he was brought to the
hospital are now 80 sorry."-London

THE FAITHFUL TOAD.
One Weather Prophet That You Can
Always Depend Upon.


Our friend, the almanac, for we still
regard 1t as friendly, although 1t has
deceived us once or twice, advises US
that it is warmer, that we are having
showers and that "the long, low trill
of the toad-yes, the common garden
toad-joins the shrill staccato peeping
of the hylas." We are aware Of the
fact that it is warmer and that we had
a shower or two, but we are relieved
to hear that the toad Is coming.
Most of the seed Is planted and the
sweet peas have sprouted, but we shall
not feel that everything is quite as 1t
should be until the toad arrives to
take charge of the garden. There Is
nobody else we would trust 1t to, no
body else too ugly to be jealous of the
flowers, too stupid to be selfish and
too lazy to be discounted. There Is
nobody else wise enough to eat the
harmful insects, patient enough to
wait for sprinkling time, generous
enough to love every plant. 1t Is RI
diculous that some folks prefer the
toad's flashy cousin, the frog. Not
long ago the question was discussed In
one Of the magazines, and we were ask
ed what gave us our sense OF loathing
for the garden toad, while the frog,
which did nothing but play the dandy
and the braggart. was uniformly treat
ed as a good fellow. IF the toad
gulped and croaked all night long,"
we were asked, land made his home
in Shiny pools instead Of in a melon
patch, would they reverse their pres
ent order in our esteem" 1t seems
a foolish question, or at least a ques-
ton directed to foolish people. The
only thing frog Is good for Is fishing
bait, and there Is nothing very glori-
GUS about that. Those Of us who have
gardens have never thought Of putting
Mr.. Toad, our chief Of police, in the
same class with the vagrant frog. II
a toad does not find our garden we go
out and find a toad. At least one
man is known to have stolen his
neighbor's toad and number Of toads
have been brought in from the woods
and placed in a residence under a
cabbage leaf 1t is to be hoped that
the almanac Is right this time and that
we can soon turn our garden over to
our faithful Mr.. Toad.-Indianapol

The Convention.

We publish in today's paper a sy-
nopsis Of the proceedings Of the con-
vention from the day on which 1t as
sembled to Saturday last, inclusive. We
have experienced great difficulty In
procuring the proceedings owing to the
irregularity Of communication with
Columbia So far as we have heard,
little business had been finished.
The convention has adopted an or
dinance repeating the ordinance Of Sc
cession and agreed to the following
constitutional clauses abolishing slav-
cry in the state: 1.-THE slaves in South
Carolina having been de facto emanci-
pated by the action Of the United States
neither slavery nor involuntary servi-
tude, except as punishment for crime
whereof the party shall have been
duly convicted, shall ever be re-estab-
lished in this state"
The parish system Of representation
has been abolished with but eight dis
senting votes. Hereafter each judicial
district except Charleston, will be en-
titled to one senator; Charleston will
have three-two for the city and one
for the district outside of the city
limits.
Under the existing apportionment
made by congress, South Carolina Is
entitled to but four members. The
state having had a representation of
six members in the late Confederate
congress-, it Is necessary to re-arrange
the congressional districts. A COM
mittee has been appointed for the pur-
pose, but up to the present writing we
are not advised Of any report having
been submitted. We are inclined to
the opinion from what we can learn
that our own congressional district
will be composed of York. Chester,
Union, Spartanburg and Greenville.
The governor, lieutenant governor,
secretary Of state, comptroller general
and treasurer will doubtless hereafter
be elected by the qualified voters Of the
state. Judges and chancellors are to
be appointed by the governor, subject
to the confirmation Of the senate.
It is probable that the judicial dis
tricts in the state will hereafret be
designated as counties a resolution to
that effect having been submitted to
the convention. A rumor is in circu-
lation that the change has been adopt
ed.

HARRY LAUDER on THRIFT.

Harry Lauder the famous Scotch
comedian who has made millions
laugh, and who commands a fabulous
salary for his vaudeville sketches, be-
lieyes in thrift. He wouldn't be a
Scotchman if he did not. Easy come,
easy GO is the rule in professions
where big money is made for little
effort. The theatrical profession is
noted for its spending propensities.
but Harry believes i'm SAVING. out Of
his earnings ne accumulated enough
to subscribe $4,000 TO the British war
patriotism at four per cent.
Harry has a few homely maXims on
thrift that have been widely circulated
during the war period, in the hope
that his followers would profit there
by. "AIitcher wadna waste" says
Harry and | would be disgracing her
memory II | wasted" Here are some
Of his rules:
1. Behave toward your purse as
you would to your best friend.
2. View the reckless spending Of
money as criminal and shun the COM
pany of the reckless spender
3. Dress neatly, but not layishly. A
bank pays a higher rate Of interest
than your back.

MRS. GARRECHT At
HOT SPRINGS AGAIN

The Elko Hot Springs Hotel, fam.
Gus throughout the west as a health
resort is again under the manage
ment of Mrs. Gertrude Garrecht. The
lease held by the Plummer Brothers
recently expired and Mrs. Garrecht
has again assumed charge. Her son,
John ]. Garrecht will assist her in
conducting II.
While 1t is true that the Elko Hot
Springs are the most widely known
in Nevada on account of their curative
properties. they are no better known
than Mrs. Garraecht, who has been
their owner for more than a third of
a century. From every state of the
union guests have visited this resort,
and wherever they may now be when
memory recalls this splendid health
giving resort, the golden smile and
silver curls of Auntie Garrecht are as
sociated with the place and seem as
much part of 1t as the waters them
selves. And 1t is no reflection upon
the curative properties of the waters
when 1t is said that that happy little
person Is the greatest health giyer
about the place. She radiaes sun
shine and her happy spirit is so con-
tagious that guests are soon infected.
In again assuming the management
of the Hot Springs Mrs. Garrecht and
her son contemplate many improve
ments, some of which are already un-
der way. The bar has been eliminated
and in place thereof a soda water and
ice cream parlor has been installed.
II is proposed to make the place at
tractive for picnic and plunge parties
and to this end the grove and garden
are reviewing especial attention. The
baths too are to be improved, and
the hotel is being renovated.
Everybody is pleased to know that
Mrs. Garrecht has decided to person
ELY conduct the springs again, assist
ed by her son. No one, 1t seems, can
do 1t just like they do. The silver
curls seem 10 be an essential part
of the place and no one will say that
they have not played an important
part in the countless cures of rheu-
matte ailments which have made the
resort famous.
