GOLD" ICE HIS SPECIALITY.
Peculiar Cry Adopted by an Itinerant
Yender of Chicago.

From Chicago Democrat: 1T Is
queer what devices men will resort to
in order to sell their wares" said we'll
known man about town yesterday.
Advertising is quito science these
days, but a friend OF mine from the
south side tells a good yarn OF an ice
dealer. This dealer was one OF those
wanderers who have few pounds OF
ice in a spring wagon and who have
no regular customers. They haunt the
alleys on hot days bawling their wares
after the regulars have made their
rounds. They pick up quite few
nickels in the course OF day. 1t was
one Of the hottest days OF the late fall,
a Sunday, and the regular wagons had
long since retired for the day. My
friend was about half out Of ice and
placed his fate in the hands OF the
peripatetics. He was on watch to nail
tho first one who came along. He has a
keen sense of fun and enjoyed the
sport. Finally, when he had about
given up. ne heard the long and eager
ly wished-for cry. An iceman was
progressing down the alley. My friend
went forth, waited and was rewarded.
The dealer was a colored man who was
earnestly appealing for all to buy.
Ice! he bawled, looking about as his
nag moved slowly along. Ice, cold
ice!' What kind OF Ice is thatT asked
my friend, obviously. Cold ice, sir;
It's the coolest in town We'll, I'd take
some II wasn't afraid the heat would
spoil It,, was the retort, as my friend
turned to re-enter the house. The col
ored man looked after him in amaze
ment, but made no reply. He proceed
ed on his rounds. but changed his cry,
for he seemed to fear the coldness
would prove a hoodoo instead CT a
blessing"

Plants Killed by Heat.

The ordinary furnace-heated house
Is bad place in which to grow plants.
The air seems to have had oil the
dampness removed, and that moist
condition so conducive to good
growth in plants is not found. This
may in measure be overcome by
means OF evaporation, which, while not
supplying a great amount OF moisture.
should do something toward relieving
the bad condition of the atmosphere.
Place jars or pans of water in, around
or about the furnace, hang buckets of
water down inside the furnace pipes,
below the registers, or place them any
where that rapid evaporation may be
induced Keep all the plants In light,
airy locations, but away from drafts.
Never consign a well-grown specimen
palm to a corner OF the room, though
It may look better there. Its beauti-
full appearance will last short time
only in the dark, close place. 1t may
seem strange to some, but the very
best place In the house, II the tempera-
ture can there be maintained at an
even point, Is the kitchen, because Of
the constant evaporation OF the water
as It puffs from the spout OF the tea
as II puffs forth from the mouth OF the
teakettle.

Her breath came in painting gasps,
the ground surged under her feet.
Nearer and nearer came the pursuing
sounds, and clearer the entreating
voice. Unless the moon would slip

ditch that lined the churchyard in

a frightened child.
