oyer her friends, just to show how
glad she was TO be back. The last
few days she has spent waiting to be
given away again.
1t isn't that they don't want to
keep "Blackie" at Pier 10, but the
fact is that it isn't an ideal place for
a dog to hang out. The atmosphere
isn't homelike and there isn't much to
eat. Workers at the pier say she just
"blew in" about n month ago and ever
since then has been looking on that bit
Of the waterfront as her particular
home. It may be the water spaniel blood
in this black cross bred that leads her
back to the river front. Or maybe she
was born in some such place along the
water and feels the old home call
stronger than all the comforts Of more
luxurious kennels in the city.
"Blackie" is a faithc,Ii watchdog and
is on the job at the pier every night.
She gets stray meals which the dock
workers and the patrolmen buy her at
the stores across the street. But of
dog comforts she has few. There must
be some odd streak i'll her canine nature
that makes her choose the precariouS
life along Delaware avenue and the
noise and dirt of her home along the
docks
If any one wants to try his hand
at keeping "Blackie' he can get a
mighty good Christmas present--if she
will stick to him.

received the fish. That is the only in
dication we have had that there is
trouble in Boston and New York
Up to the present we have been re
cciying FISH regularly and have had a
satisfactory supply.
IF ANYTHING is wrong, it may be
several days before we feel it here. But
we will send man ut once to New

Mr.. BOwden, of Bowdcn Il Davis,

He leaned back in his chair as if

said: "Our regular force of employees

Cormick & Co., said ''If there are
shipments Of fish tied up in New York
or Boston they must be commission
shipments. Many shippers do not take
the trouble to send us notice of ship
ments and for this reason it may be sev
eral days before we know that fish for
warded to us has been delayed.
1--WE have been receiving fish reg
ularly and abundantly up to the present,
and know of no trouble.
~ do not think much fish is being
delayed in New York. If there IS
trouble it probably is chiefly in Boston.
"Thc delays we have noticed 80 far
have been due to the upset railroad con
ditions. Bad service has kept some fish
from Philadelphia.
