HANMoNDsPoRr, Dec. lS.--" I've come all the
way down here from the Conesus country, je-t
10 see lake that don't freeze over" said tall.
one-legged man, who talked with drawl. as he
stood on the steamboat pier at this placc
end gszed out on the placid bosom of Lake
Reuka. The skimmlng over Of the lake with
ice, even In the coolest weather. Is 90 rare
thing that people come for miles to look upon H.
So Kuky don't freeze over, hay 2" contin-
ucd the man from Conesus. "PickerI in
K'uky, sln't theyH Thought 80. And perch :
To be sure. It's too bndl It's great waste o.
water TO have sheet Of II like this, and IL not
coverin' Itself with ice. And II must be power
ful lonesome for the pckerl and the perch not
70 have fun with you a-hshin' for 'em
through the ice. Now mp on Conesus III
bet every plckerl and perch would leave
that lake only too quick IL II didn't
freeze over 70 as they could 10 fished
for through the ice. It's good thing for him
that my dog Squeezer don't have TO come down
here and stay Why, he'd pine away to shsd-
per before spring and more than likely never see
the ejohnny-jumD-ups come agin.
"Squeezer Is n winter dog-a genuine winter
fog. You know that groundhogs and hears and
'coons and setch turn in and go to sleep when
winter sets In and sleep till spring comes back.
Ns good thing they do, for by doin' that they
give my dog squeezer chance. That dog'll go
into .:, most at the sight Of ehipmuns to say
should sneezo at him think he'd lay right down
end die. 30, as all o. them beasts holes up in
che winter, there amt no danger o. SquecZer
fpnnnin' ag'ln any OF 'em and Rittin' scared 10
death. Then what does he do when spring
comes and they begin TO come out o. their holes
Why. Just az soon as the Ice goes out OF our lake
and the weather sets in for bein' warm. squeezer
turns in and goes to sleep, and he don't do much
bf anythin' elso but snoozo till cold weather
comes agin. But II there wasn't any ice
soueezer'd never survive winter, don't think.
I'll tell you why.
.You know what piokerr fsbin, tbrouob tho

Sometimes you IL have to shift your quarters on
