Show A Fortune In Ono Season. Many a 6nug fortune was made in the ice business in Maine last winter, but perhaps none have been luckier than two young men who have been operating on the Kennebec. A few years ago these youths hired out with a man who was engage, in the ice business winters and in farming summers. They proved faithful faith-ful workers, and last fall their employer, who is growing old, proposed to sell out his ice business to them for $8,600. They had saved $1,000, and, after some consideration, they accepted the offer, giving security for tho $5,500 they could not pay. Last week they sold their ice to New York parties for $46,000.
