Satisfies n Queer Appetite Mt an All

One of the best known all-night res
tarants on upper Broadway always
has one or more dogs around, especially
between the hours of three and seven
in the morning, says the New York
Sun. Patrons at those hours are apt
20 be kindly disposed to canine at

ing. Just now plain brindle and
white pup about six months old at
tracts more notice than any of its fell
lows in the restaurant kennel 1t is
known as the "ice-eating dog"
Every morning when the ice wagons
roll up in front of the restaurant and
unload the days supply of huge cakes
of ice, that pup takes its place at the
Broadway door and watches proceed
ings with an eye to business. When a
cake of ice becomes Clipped the brindle
pup lights on the broken pieces and de-
YOURS them with as much relish as the
ordinary dog does raw meat or chicken
bones. 1t does not finish its meal un-
til the operation of unloading ice has
been completed, and if a piece is swept
into the roadway the ice-eating dog
cbases il and retrieves it in spite OF
cabs and cable cars.
Pat, the night manager of the res
taurant, says that when the brindle
pup first displayed this appetite for ice
it took big chunk back in one corner
and hid IL, after the fashion of dogs
when dealing with particularly choice
bone. When the pup returned to the
hiding place later, of course, there wal
nothing but a wet spot. Then the puI
set up a howl that could not be quieteC
until one of the walters, who had stud
led the dogs habits, gave it another
