ICE

Ice is one Of the cold, hard facts
of life that we are forever humping
into; and one Of the few things in
this world that's what it's cracked
up to be.
Ice Is a paradox. II il used by
cold storage men to make IL hot for
the public and IL would be cold
day for them If they didn't have it.
Ice was invented by Divine Provi-
dence to keep our rivers and lakes
from freezing to death. During the
summer 1t comes in chunks and goes
in q hurry. 1t is what housewives
and saloonkeepers depend on in July
and fall on in January.
Ice is found in the stare of box
office clerks and on the shoulders Of
society leaders. Married women stand
on 1t In their bare feet just before
they 20 to bed. II is used by Amer
leans TO cool their cocktails and by
polar bears TO cool their own tails.
Ice rides around In big wagons
and has . good time; and when Il
gets tired Of life II melts and runs
sway.-Geo. Martin.
