SANTA CLAUS AT RON ER'S
Patron Saint OF Christmas Presided at Holiday
Opening.

Rough as the weather was last eve
ming it apparently had no terrors for
the children of Bennington judging
from the number that assembled at H.
G. Roster g. Co.'S store to attend the
Santa Claus opening. The patron
saint of Christmas in suit OF red and
the we'll known long white whiskers
was present to show the young sters
the many toys and other articles that
had been packed into the store for the
holiday season.
The firm this year has made a spec
ialty OF holiday goods. 1t has been
the custom to make large purchases
in this line every season out never be.
fore has the stock been so large and
varied as now. The quantity is really
too large for the store but by means
of the shelving which is quite novel
the new goods are displayed in promi-
nent positions without interfering to
any great extent with the stock of sta
pie articles.
The store has been simply decorated
the goods themselves taking promi-
nent part in the scheme. The dolls,
mechanical toys, toilet articles and
other goods Of a strictly holiday nat
ure, have been so arranged as to give
pretty effect and at the same time be
easily handled for the customers.
From $50 O'Clock last evening until
nearly s the store was filed with a
crowd of youngsters and their parents
and the latter we're able to acquire
ideas enough to fill all the stockings
in the families besides locating many
desirable presents for older members
of the household. Santa Claus dis
tributed to each one of the children a
bag OF home made candy aud sent the
young folks on their way rejoicing.

Saucy Statement of the Quaker Ju. nior Team.
 The following communication was received to-day and from the tone of the article there has evil dently been little misunderstand- ing about the Quakers and Brownies game played on Saturday.
 Waterbury, Dec 10, 1908. Sporting Editor, Democrat:
 We. the Quaker Junior foot ball team, the champion 105-pound team of Waterbury. wish to deny statement published in the Sunday papers to the effect that we were beaten by the Brownies on Saturday afternoon, The right score was 9 to in our favor. Michael Daley, full back for the Quakers made place kick from the thirty-five yard line which went at least twenty feet high. There were no goal posts and Dr Hayes walked up to referee Joe Gull foile and told him not to let 1t go. The Brownies claimed in the papers that they would play us for $10, $15. or $25 a side but later agreed to play for $10 side. The Quakers had their ten spot but the Brownies, didn't have a cent. They had three High school players on their team al- %. When Dr Hayes, who was time- keeper. came out on the field and was talking with our left end Poll ard. Dunn who was playing right halfback for the Brownies went around the right end for a touch- down. We tried after the game to arrange for a contest for yesterday for $2 side but the Brownies weak ened. We do not blame Mir GuilfoIle but he knows as we'll as any of the spectators that we made field goal as there were no goal posts to judge by. If the Brownies wish to deny any of the above statements let them consult Manager George Henebry.
 Respectfully.
