DEAR ZOE, DEAR E A

People can DO without ice, absolutely
speaking, but they must have meat.
Strong working people. demand meat as
the fuel to keep the machinery of their
body in movement. Any increase in the
price of this necessity of diet will be felt
by poor people. who already find that 1t
costs quite enough.
Ice is four times dearer this year than
It should be. The amount that n butcher
u.es is very great and he must use it. The
meat will not keep without it. But it is
very evident that if tho butchers ice bill
is greater than usual the price of meat
will have to go up. The customers have
to help HIM pay this quadrupled rate by
giving him more for his meat.
Who can help feeling indignant. then,
at the monopolistic handling of the Ice
supply, which results in these ~oxorbitant
rates? lee is needed enough for cooling
water to make any extravagant rise in Its
price outrageous. But when It's direct
influence on the price of meat is con-
sidered il is time to cry ont against these
unjust extortions of the ice dealers. Stop
them. The evil should go no further.

Chirography That Mutually Knocked
Out the Editor and the Lawyer.
A good story Ii going the rounds about
Grin Vanderhoven. editor of the Passaio
City Herald. and Lawyer H. X. Codding-
ton, until recently u resident of that place.
but now of Newark.
Among the many other noted qualities
of both. the illegibility of their chirogra-
phies stands first. Some time ago the
lawyer wrote the editor q letter on very
private and important business.
Now, Van, f." az the veteran editor Il
known throughout New Jersey. prides
himself on his talent and power TO trans
late badly written manuscript. and among
his collection of curious specimens none
Is shown with a greater degree OF pride
than a personal letter received by him
from Horace Greeley.
No matter how much time he m az have
spent in deciphering the missiVe at thu
time of its arrival, which was NAM yeara
read 1t with wonderful rapidity even in
the declining twilight, mue to the as
tonishment of his friends.
When he received Lawyer Coddington's
letter he sat down at his desk and began
the task of deeIphering 1t, but when,

the writer's name, he became desperate,
and picking up a shooung-stick he told
his Office devil" that if he Was eyei
guilty of writing such a scrawl he would
break his bones. Then, grasplng ; pen,
he dashed on a few lines to Mr.. Codding-
asking him to explain the contents Of
The letter sent.
When Lawyer Coddington received ths
letter he was even more at sea than tbs
~sagaciOus editor. He could only Eeeog-
nize the date. The name he took to Be
Vanderbilt and was. of course, pleased.
So matters rested until the gentlemen
met a few days later. when Lawyer Cod
dington asked Mr.. VRnderhoYen why he
never answered his letter.
