BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May 20.-Wil-
liam II. Brady part owner of the Black
Rock grocery store, this city made

pride to his partner, William 2. Meia;

safe" Brady declared.

NEW YORK. May 2O.-Today's cotton mar

FURS OF MISTRESS
Society Matron Mourns Over
The Death of Her
POmeranlan

TT CERTAIN vivacious young matron
In in town is mourning the loss or
her Pomeranian that passed away
after lingering illness two weeks ago.
Fiji was an intelligent and amiable
little creature. but chiefly is he mourned
because of his decorative value. All
last winter he served to set of the sa-
bles of his mistress. At teas and at
her walks abroad his tiny brown head
with bright alert eyes. rested on her
muf, lending a vivid touch of harmon
ious color. The sables will be sadly
lacking in effect without Fin next
winter.
1t is possible of course. that another
season may see radical changes in the
fashions. Pomeranians may be passe
and a newer style in decorative CANNES
might have relegated Fiji to the OBJ
scure fate of last years hats. Also.
it is not unlikely that the vogue OF
chinchilla will introduce cats. So it
perhaps the passing of Fin was not
untimely.
Poms are still popular. however, and
fortunate owners of these rare and
valuable dogs are widely envied. For
several years the only specimens in
California were in the Crocker kennels
at Burlingame. which still boasts the
largest collection on the coast There
are so many that it has taxed the in
genuity of their mistress TO supply
names for them all. Consequently when
a we'll known San Francisco girl re-
Gently received a gift of three small
brown velvet Poms from the kennels
at New Place, they were still name
less. The naming of them was not un-
dertaken lightly by their new owner.
who has a reputation OF being the
most original girl in society.
On the contrary. in an effort to get
away from such time worn cognomens
as Bijou and Fiji. Miss L resorted
to drugs. Rows of labels on apothe-
carries jars offered inspiration From a
fascinating assortment Castor, Brono
and Rhubarb were finally chosen as
best representing the qualities OF brew
ity and euphony. Castor has already

ribbons at bench shows. where it's ori-
gin is unsuspected and where visitors
have doubtless looked vainly about for

He speeds as ne'er before he sped
Fine frenzy in his eye;
The miles behind have swiftly fed.
Yet still he's on the fly.
Does some great danger to the state
Compel this record breaking gait?
Why. no, He simply has a date
With some of aunties pie.
His naughty nostrils now distend-
He gives happy cry;
Though far away his journeys end.
Sweet odors bring it nigh.
Yea, though he still must travel miles.
His boyhood memory complies
A catalogue of all the styles
OF dear old auntie's pie
The mince. the apple (green. not dried),
Such as no gold can buy;
Squash, lemon, cranberry. beside
The peach's sweet supply
His fancy sees the pumpkin come,
And though his wheels are stin ahum,
He chuckles. Yum! Just pass me some,
Dear auntie. of that pie.'
His tariff may not touch the heart.
But when his face we spy
Half hidden by damson tart
We smile and then we sigh.
For, viewing that First Citizen.

Are happy, hungry boys again,
