APOTHEOSLS OF THE ICEMAN.
Set Forth In Music By the Authors
of dat Amt No Lie"
(ChicagO Inter-Ocean.)


The plumber-the plumber of fiction, not
of fact-and the iceman-the iceman of
| midsummer reality and not of fanciful
narrative-are weil-known personageS in
| the everyday life of a great city. Here
| tofore the plumber has enjoyed most of
! the celebrity arising from his commercial
distinction, and the iceman has been re-
ferred to as occupying a subordinate
place. Recently the iceman has gained
I the advantage of becoming the subject of
a song very popular just now, ana writ
| ten, words and music, by the authors of
! Dat Amt No Lie, meiodic compoSI ton
which enjoyed some vogue lew years
ago. The first verse of the song contains
the element of surprise, thus:
While strolling up town the other day,
l saw q stone mason on my way;
| stopped 10 admire-'twas simply divine
And couldn't help wishing that it was
A servant came out and then 1 asked of
him
If Mr.. Vanderbilt was in.
But he told me the iceman resided there.
Hence this chorus:
How'd you like to be the iceman, how'd
you like to be the iceman?
The plumbers amt in it, they froze them
out.
The second verse is of a somewhat do
nestle character, as follows:
Each day with his wagon loaded down
Full of ice he starts off for the town.
At JohnSon's cafe a stop then he makes,
Fills up the icebox with enormous cakes;
When ready to start and move on his way
He tells the boss, It's hot today.
The boss. with a wink, says: What will
it be-"
We'll I'll have a tin-roof cocktail: that
just suits me-
How'd you like to DO the iceman, how'd
you like to be the iceman?
Drinking tin-roof cocktails-they re on the
house.
To this expression contained in the
chorus of the song is popularity ascribed
TAIL" paid for by the saloon-keeper.
The grocery man is just close by,
And the iceman leaves him his supply.
Then orders ten pounds of coffee that's
ground,
Ten pounds of butter, thirty a pound:
Ten pounds of sugar. ten pounds of tea,
How many pounds in alp says he.
The grocer then says. r. orty pounds are
there.
"Well. here's forty pounds of ice;
That makes US square"
The exchange of ten pounds of coffee
ten pounds of butter, ten pounds of sugar
and ten pounds of tea for forty pounds of
ice is hardly what would be called a fair
trade. and ii is no wonder that the SUI
Deriority of the iceman as a factor in
commerce is regarded with envy on ac-
count of it, and that the question is asked
How'd you like to be the iceman?'

Helen Keller On a Wheel
Boston Transcript


Helen Keller the wonderful young
girl who, although being blind, deaf
and dumb, deprived of so many of her
senses. accomplishes as much and even
more than those gifted with all their
faculties, is learning to ride a tandem
Although some two or three years ago
under the guidance of Colonel T. w.
Higginson, she mounted a machine and
rode a short distance, yesterday she
really took her first lesson under the
guidance of a well-known bicyclist
Promptly at a quarter past she
started from No. II Newbury street for
a ride to Jamaica Plain. Miss Keller
seemed to have no difficulty in mount
ing. and started off with much self
confidence and as if she were quite
used to riding. She was given much
good advice by a party of interested
small boys who stood near, evidently
thinking their assistance invaluable
Miss Sullivan, her teacher, accompanied
her ON her ride.
1t is hoped by this experiment to af-
ford for Miss Keller outdoor exercise
which hardly could be obtained in any
other way BY riding a tandem, guild.
ed by one in whom she has absolute
confidence, she simply has to acquire
the mechanical essentials of bicycle
riding, while in return she derives
healthful benefit. She is very en-
thusiastic over this new venture. and
as in everything else which she under
takes. has thrown heart and soul into
the mastery of her task.

And speaking of the way we use ouI
mother tongue / think most of us have
not the faintest idea of how slight our
knowledge of English really is. At a
little after the theatre supper down
town a few nights ago somebody said
something about 1.-The sere and yellow
leaf" A Frenchman who was at the
table looked up inquiringly:
What is it-that 'sere? he asked.
oh said the Vassar woman,
'sere' means-why, 'sere and yellow
you know-autumn leaf. faded-ei y
ENTHUSIASTICALLY, 1 don't know what il
does mean"
And not a living soul in all that party
of eight, five of whom were college
graduates. could give, authoritatively,
the definition and derivation of 'sere.
Everybody had a vague idea OF its
meaning, but nobody knew for sure,
and the Vassar woman said il didn't
make any difference. for it was an OBJ
solete word, anyway.

The announcement of the assistant
secretary of the treasury that he had
selected the Walker lot as a site for
the government building was received
with mixed feelings and variegated
comments by the citizens yesterday.
1t seems to have been the second choice
of most of those who were working for
other locations. however, and this may
account, in a measure. for its selection.

Hereafter.

&C.. F. Ramsay in the Pail Mall Magazine)
If this were all:--if from LIES fitful rays
No steadier beacon gleamed-no fairer
days
Could dawn for us who struggle in the
night,
And sigh for wings to bear us in their
flight
To that Beyond of mystery and amaze
Surely our hearts would faint beside the
ways,
While Courage. stihed by the deathly
haze,
Would helpless droop beneath our
mournful plight
If this were all,
But. DER the shadows-with a heaven
wrapt gaze
Past love grown cold-above the worlds
dismays--
Strong, through LIES moment of i'm
perfect sight
On. to the glowing of a great delight
Faith-with her keenest upward glancing
says
This is not ALL
