hold up and rob William d. Long, late
last Saturday night, on Pennsylvania
avenue by three men, was the arraign-
ment in the Police Court yesterday of
John Carroll and Walter Moore on a
charge of attempted robbery, and their
committal to Jail to await the action of
the grand jury in default of 5000 bonds
each.
The men were identified by Long as two
of the three who pinned him against a
wall and were about to relieve him of his
watch and $50 in money when the sud
den appearance of several pedestrians
frightened them Off Carroll and Moore
were the victims of mistaken identity.

sed for service sewers and water mains,

SANTA CLAUS HAPPY;
SHOPPERS BUY EARLY
Merchants, Clerks and DeIiv-
cry Horses Also Have Cause
to Rejoice.

SANTA Claus coaxed nature into another
fine day for the early shoppers.
When the stores were opened this morn
ing groups Of customers were waiting
on the outside and by 10 o'clock the
groups had multiplied into crowds. The
first corners, in some instances, were
out to secure the bargain prices adver-
tised for the forenoon, but the ma jority
of wonderland women, of course, were
in the majority-were on hand for the
sake of being waited on cheerfully and
without delay.
The public seems alive to the fact-at
last-that early shopping applies to the
hour as we'll as to the day. The great
army Of government clerks and other
business men and women have only the
after-off1ce time to do their buying in and
no better reason is needed to convince
housewives and men and women Of les-
ure that they should leave the late after
noon free for the work. day world and
do their own shopping in the morning
hours.
Advantage in Helpfulness.
1t is a great scheme all around, since
it affords one OF the few chances in life
to combine personal advantage with help
fulness to others.
The action taken by merca ntile associa-
tions relative to night shopping should be
another incentive to get ones holiday
buying done with, as the stores will take
drastic and most sensible step this
season by curtailing the number of nights
on which their stores will be opened
People seldom mean harm Fhey just
do it. To crowd into the stores every
night Of the before Christmas fortnight,
just for the fun of it, has always been
one way Of celebrating in advance. a
woman yesterday probably voiced the
general population when she admitted
that she always bought her gifts early
in the season, but that she made the
rounds every night the stores were open
just because it was jolly to crowd in and
out and meet a lot of people she knew.
Hadn't Thought Of It.
Until the stores and newspapers began
to take such an insistent stand in be-
half of the clerks and draymen and fag-
ged-out horses, she had never even given
that side of the junket a thought. Now
that the thought has arrived she will
make no more night rounds just for the
fun Of it. She has realized the other
side.
The stores are appreciative of this at
titude on the part of the buying public
and are sparing no effort to make early
shopping grand mutual success.
Newspapers. always to the fore in
pushing a good thing along, are equally
happy over the way things are turning
out for Santa Claus, and to his appeal to
shop early they add to the slogan:
Shop often.
