THE DOG.

I've never known a dog to wag
 His tail ir glee he didn't feel, Nor quit his old-time friend to tag
 At some more influential heel. The yellOWest cur I ever knew Was, to the boy who loved him, true. I've never known a dog to show
 Halfway devotion to his friend, To seek a kinder man to know
 Or rather, but unto the end The humblest dog I ever knew Was, to the man that loved Linn, true I've never known a dog to fake
 Affection for a present gain, A false display of love to make,
 Some little favor to attain. I've never known a Prince or Spot That seemed to be what he was not But have known a dog to fight With all his strength to shield a
 friend.
 And whether wrong or whether right,
 To stick with him until the end. And have known a dog to lick The hand of him that men wouJd
 kick.
 And l have known a dog to bear
 starvation bangs from day to day With him who had been glad to share
 His bread and meat along the way. No dog, however, mean or rude, Is guilty of ingratitude. The dog is listed with the dumb,
 No voice has he to speak his creed, His messages to humans come
 By faithful conduct and by deed, He shows, as seldom mortals do, high ideal of being true

FLOORS
 IN MAIN STREET
 WILL BE SOUGHT
Leases of Street Level Stores Getting on the Lux
 ury Class.

The great influx of business that has reached Bridgeport's mercantile cen ter as a result of increased prosper ity is gradually changing Main St., from a one story street, to a first and second floor" business center.
 Far-sighted realty dealers declare to-day that the rapid increase of rent al values in Main street, with nearly a score of out-o town merchants wait ing for an opportunity of opening branch stores in this city has sent leases beyond the reach of many lines of business previously; located on the street level.
 It is asserted that barber shop proprietors, opticians, jewelry repair departments, milliners, boot and shoe makers, piano dealers, sample shoe and hat stores and various other busi- nesses are seeking second-story show rooms with display windows.
 That many of the lines of merchan- disc heretofore sold upon the street ront can be merchandised at less over head expense and as successfully on the second floor as they could on the ground floor year ago is the assertion of realty agents in this city in explain ing the tendency heretofore believed impossible in Bridgeport.

BRITAIN ANNOUNCES BAN 0N PRIVILEGES AT COALING PLACES
Fuel Won't Be Guaranteed for Vessels Unless for
 Allies' Use.

Washington, Dec. 7-Curtailment of coaling privileges at British ports is threatening far-reaching effects on American shipping, and while repre- sentations have been made to Great Britain by the State Department, 1t is realized here that it may be diff1- cult to obtain any loOsen1ng Of the constantly tightening restrictions
 Officials point out that the right to coal at foreign ports is based almost entirely on international comlty, ana that treaty pledges in the present in stance are not of a nature to make the case entirely clear.
 Great Britain's inability to guaran- tee bunker coal to any vessel not util- izing it "in such a way that British For allied interests are benefitted,' was announced today in statement by the British Embassy in the form of memorandum drawn up in London.
 First Public Announcement
 The announcement is the first pub lie expression, officials say, of poll cy which has in fact been in opera ton for some time.
 The effect of this policy, officials believe, will be seriously to embarrass all independent American trade with non-allied countries. It is asserted that trade between this country and the Philippines, for instance, can be conducted only under the greatest diff faculties, as Great Britain owns most of the coaling stations along the way. Trade to South America is expected to be crippled also, because most of the coaling facilities in harbors there are owned by the British.
 The German submarine campaigns are believed here to be largely re- sponsib1e for the new ruling. There inroads on world shipping influenced the allies to conserve their vessels and fuel. Not only is there shortage of ships for the carrying trade, it is said, but a desire to hold as few ves- sells as possible in carrying coal to various stations about the world.
 Officials expect Great Britain to de- fend the new restrictions, as she de- tended the blacklist, on the ground that it is purely internal legislation. Embassy's Statement
 The British Embassy made public today the following memorandum on the subject, drawn up in London: "His MajeSty's government have for some time past found it necessary, ! owing to the shortage and increasing scarcity of tonnage, to make special arrangements at British ports and coaling stations abroad whereby coal ing facilities of all kinds should be reserved for vessels belonging to British and allied owners and to neu- tral owners who have undertaken to utilize their vessels in such a way that British or allied interests are benefited. His .Majesty's government are in fact unable to guarantee that facilities can be provided to other shipss'''. eat rctraq uta

Indian moneys carried on deposit in state and national banks during the year, the report says, amounted to $22,- O00,000; new regulations were made for leasing oil lands of the Osage na- ton at a high rate which. the report estimates, in the first year will pay $700,0O0 in royalties; 90,000 acres of Indian lands were sold for $1,666,- 900 and 16,00O acres were purchased for landless Indians.
 A section of the report dealing with the Pension Office shows 7O9,572 names on the pension rolls at the end of the year, a decrease of 39,575 for 12 months. Civil war soldiers on the rolls numbered 362,277.. Deaths of Civil war soldiers during the year numbered 34,252 The amount paid for pensions for year was $159,155,- 900 for the previous year.

The bureau since it's organization has trained 41,0O0 thousand miners in mine rescue work.
 Agricultural possibilities of Alaska still are matter of conjecture, al- though in some parts of the territory the hardier cereals and vegetables are being grown. Completion of the rail- road now being constructed from Seward to Fairbanks will do much for the development of Alaska, the report says.

had been excused with pay. because
Of illness. Finally the 1900 teach

owing to the condition Of the teach
ers' pension fund, that the money
which they believed rightfully be-
longed 70 them, will be retained in
the custody Of The board Of superin-
tendents who have charge Of the pay
ment nf refunds The result of the
failure to pay these teachers will. It
is feared, keep those who are in III

need. II is the belief OF many people
that the board Of superintendent In

against them, as some Of the super

paid during their absence The teach
ers contend that Father Knickerhock-

sport in depricing them Of money
