,, ICE.
Lovers Of the genial cocktail and the fragrant
| mint-julep, Us also the humber but more
numerous Worshipcr6 of the pleasant beer, have
begun to fear that the absence OF frost in this
| latitude might interfere with the usual supply
| Of ice. Without ice the cocktail is Us naught,
! while an essential element in the manufacture
| Of good beer is something to cool It with. But

interviews with ice-1nen published in TINT paper

Stone L@-c, Geneva Lake, Crystal Lake, Wolf,
and Calumet Lakes, and the Calumet and
Desplaincs Rivers, the lakes in the different
parks, and other sources OF supply in or near
the CITY, and last year over :O09, 700 tons were
thus obtained. But if the warm weather con-
tinues, the ice companies will have to 60
farther north, in which case they will
be put to cxtra expense both on freight and
storage. Ona dealer estimated that there was
enough on hand to last until February, while
another said that they had often gone later
than thc7 have this year without cutting any,
and yet had secured 4 good crop In any case,
the dealers will provide the crystal, even If

THE DRAWING OF THE TURKEY.
4 young married mau who had, like Napo-
leon, much confidence In his Star, resolved last
Monday night to draw turkey at a rattle. lie
accordingly went to a saloon where the Evil
One had prepared this particular sort of trap
Tor the unwary, and boldly bucked the tigur, OF,
to speak more accurately, the turkey. He took
chances on twenty-eight turkeys at o5 cents
each, and on the twcuty-cighth essay was sue
cessful. He had also taken several drinks be-
tween turkeys, and some drinks between drinks.
