The lot Of the ice men is much bet
ter than in former years-thanks to
their precaution in banding together in
numbers. This spring a strike Of the
Ice men in st. Paul was imminent, and
It would have been pulled off had not
the employers come to the terms de-
manded.
The hours have been greatly i'm
proved. The driver and his helper go
to work at about o'clock in the
morning, hitch up their horses and load
their wagon. The latter operation
takes them but a few moments, as the
Ice is placed all ready for them upon
the chutes by the "ice house men," And
then away on their long run they go,
and If they can get through with their
route by o'clock in the afternoon
their work for the day is finished.
The matter of pay has been changed
for the better. also. Now the driver.

ce1ve SIS per MONTH for the remain
ing months of the year they are paid
800 In like proportion the helpers are
paid $40 and $50. This the EMPLOYERS
claim, is the highest wage paid to any
ice men in the United States.
1t is the ambition of each helper to
next year become driver, and to this
end he strives to learn the business
thoroughly, and according to our
friend Jack. his helper, he thought.

The knot was tied and the words were
said,
shon was married, the feast was spread:
AT the head of the table, high and boar,
Strong Sandy of Islasa age fourscore,
Whiskered, gray as Haskeir seal.
And clad in crimson from head to heel,
Beneath and round in their degree,
Gathering the men of minstrelsie,
With keepers, gi1Ifes, lads and laSSieS,
Mixing voices and jingling glasses.
At soup and haggis, at roast and boil'd,
Awhile the happy gathering toiled-
While Shon and Jean at the table ends
Shook hands with hundred of their
friends
Then came hush. Through the open
A wee bright Form flashed on the
The duke himself, in kilt and plaid,
With slim, soft knees, like the knees Of a
maid,
And took a glass, and he cried out plain,
l drink to the health of Shon Maclean,
TO Shon, the piper and Jean, his wife,
A clean f1reside and merry life!"
Then out he slipt, and each man sprang
To his feet, and with "hooch'' the cham
Clear the tables" shrieked out one
A leap, a scramble, the thing was done!
And then the pipers all in a row
Tuned their pipes and began to blow
While all to dance stood fair

Dougal Dhu from Kilfannan shore

At the wedding of Shon MacIean
Twenty pipers together
Stood up. while all their train
Ceased their clatter and blether
Full of the mountain dew,
First on their pipes they blew,
Mighty of bone and thew,
Red checked, with lungs of leather:
And every piper was flu,
Twenty pipers together.
Who led the dance? In pomp and pride
The duke himself led out the bride
Great was the joy of each beholder,
For the wee duke only reached her
shoulder;
And they danced, and turned, when the
reel began,
Like a giantess and a fairy man!
But like an earthquake was the din
When Shon himself led the duchess in!
And she took her place before them there
Like white mouse dancing with a bear
How the little duchess, so slim and
sweet,
Her blue eyes watching Shon's great feet
With smile which could not be resisted
Jlgged, and jumped, and twirIed and
twisted!

Hard Luck.

Mrs Mary Barnard was acquitted of
the charge of polygamy, the jury
bringing in the verdict of not guilty
after being out about half an hour. The
jury evidently took the view of the
defense that relations existing between
the defendant and Dan Lindsay for
twenty years were not of such a nature
as to constitute marriage, and that the
cHense of polygamy was not therefore
established
