A DOG AND A BABY.

There was a dog in city home,
Where the rugs were soft and fine.
With downy cushions on every side.
Where it could at will recline.
There was a baby without a home
Or mother to love and care;
1t would have been glad with the dog
TO room.
But there was no room to spare.
The dog was petted and loved and fed
And costly put TO sleep:
The baby was hungry and went TO bed
To shiver and sob and weep.
A wealthy lady in silks and gold.
Was hunting a darling pet.
That she to her bosom could fondlv
hold,
And annoying things forget.
What do you reckon the angels
thought
When choice at last she made?
The dog for a liberal sum was
bought
The baby received no aid.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8.-secretary
of the Interior Lane has recommended
TO President Wilson the withdrawal OF
$1,000 acres OF land in Colorado and
$4,000 acres in Utah for purposes of =
naval reserve. These lands. It Is esti-
mated, will yield 5OO,OOO.OOO barrels of
fuel oil.
The areas recommended for with
drawal by the Secretary lie in semi
arid regions so there would be slight
loss from the agricultural point Of
view. Some of the mare In the Green
River formation rich in the sort OF
5hHle which in Scotland had been
made by destructive distillation to pro-
luce vast quantities Of oil. This shale
also will yield 10 TO 10 per cent Of
gasoline and also ammonium sulphate,
valuable fertilizer.
Secretary Lane, Secretary OF the
Navy Daniels and Attorney General
Gregory all have urged the President
and Congress keep for the General
Government large areas of land in sew
eral western and Pacific Coast states
which. they declare. would make &
