the Atlantic coast ana compelled ac-
ceptable terms for the treaty Of peace.
Another result was Francis Scott

The Doubt Dispelled al Benstch's
NigstiF From Now Unsii christ-

Is there Santa Claus7
II there had been any doubt in any
ones mind about ire existence of
Santa Claus, it VISA removed when
Santa Claus himself, in real flesh and
blood, made his appearance st the
Great House OF Isaac Benesch & Sons
on Main street. last night
The expected arrival of Santa
Claus was announced in The Capital,
and the announcement had the effect
of bringing out about half the popu-
laticn Of Annapolis, thus bearing
strong proof that Santa Claus knew
the best advertising medium 10 Sc
lect
Just how Santa Claus arrived in
Annapolis seems to be shrouded in
mystery, some of the residents claim
ing they saw him arrive in q airship;
others declare they heard distinctly
the tinkling OF sleigh bells though,
they admit that they saw neither
sleigh or reindeers, and in view of
the fact that no snow had fallen
around Annapolis, the sleigh theory
seems improbable but whea one con-
siders that all things are possible
to Santa Claus, we are inclined to the
sleigh and reindeer idea.
No matter how Santa Claus got into
Annapolis. The part that interests
US, and particularly the children, is
that we saw him and he looks just as
natural as ever, just as fat, just as
happy and just as smiling az he did
ages ago.
And were the children glad to see
him. Oh. YOU vain doubters, you
grouches, you pesimists, YOU SIAN
derers of Santa Claus. You should
have seen the hundreds of happy chill
dreu with the heavenly light in their
eyes. You should have heard the
N arry shouts of laughter and the
cheers with which they greet ID dear
old Santa Claus as we stepped into
the Great House of Isaac Benesch &
Sons
You grouches and doubters should
have heard the sweet and innocent
voices of these children appealing TO
Santa Claus not to forget TO leave
them some Christmas presentsl If
you had witnessed this lovely aad di
vine scene, you would never again
doubt the existence of Santa Claus.
The real Santa Claus will be at
The Great House Of Isaac Beneseh &
Sons every day until Christmas.
Every evening he will hold recep-
tion for the children. He wants to
meet all the good little chi ldren.
He wants 60 say kind word TO them,
and if there are any bad little boys in
Annapolis (Which we doubt he even
wants to say a kind word to the bad
little boys. He wants TO help make
good little boy out Of him, so that
he will mind his mamma and papa
and grow up a good useful man.
Let the dear little children come TO
see Santa Claus. and let the grown
up children come. The old men and
the old women, so that they all can
he children once againl

GAVE ENTHUsIASTIC REPORT
 BEFORE w. c. T. U.
Mrs. J. J. Fields Touched Upon Inn portant Aspects of the State Conven- ton.

The w. c. T. U. held a very inter- esting meeting Monday afternoon at their room and made plans for their annual meeting which is to be held the first Monday in January.
 Miss H. G. Cross presided and the service opened with singing Send Showers of Blessings, with Mrs. H. F. Palmer at the piano. Miss Cross read the 124th Psalm and Mrs. Thomas A. Uerkins followed in prayer The de- VotionaI service closed with singing Something for Jesus.
 The secretary, Mrs Palmer, read the report of the previous meeting, and the treasurer, Mrs. Mead, followed with hers, and also reported the re- cent meeting held with the Ladies' Missionary union of the Church of the Good Shepherd Several other socie- ties are arranging for similar meet ings. and 1t is hoped that greater in terest in the white ribbon cause will arise through them.
 Miss Cross spoke on the coming an- nual meeting and urged all superinten- dents and vice presidents to have their reports written and ready to present at that time.
 Mrs. Perkins reported writing to all Sunday school superintendents and sending temperance literature to the same for Worlds Temperance Sunday
 Mrs. J. J. Fields delegate to the state convention, gave a brief account of the interesting convention and made special mention of the cIlildren's dem onstration al Warner hall, where about 300 children, representing nine Loyal Tenn peranCe Legion companies gave the incest demonstration ever given at Connecticut convention Nearly ev- cry nationality was represented and among them were separate companies of Hungarians, Italians, Swedes. Ger mans and a company from a girls club mostly Jews and Italians. girls who work in factories and shops, and company from a children's home, and the others were from Protestant Sun day schools and one composed of chil- dren whose mothers wear the white ribbon. They sang their songs in great unison, accompanied by their leader Mrs. Grace Curtis Platt, at the piano, and TWO boys with drums. Each company recited it's own motto, cry and sang q song. The Hungarian company sang their own national song in their native tongue, and although thr audience eeuld not understand they were charmed with their sweet voices closed with the audience and all sing ing America.
 Special mention was made Of the annual address of the president, Mrs. Caroline Buell., and it seemed as though she covered all things that are dear to the white ribboners, and should be so to all who are called Christians. The Bible readings con- ducted by several ladies .weer of un- usual uplift and full of spiritual food.
 The reports by the sUperintendents were encouraging as a whole. The grand gold medal contest held the first

CLAIMS THREE SHOTS
 WERE FIRED AT HIM
In Cellar on Water Street-J. Cenflone Showed Broken Lantern and Holes in His Trousers.

Joseph Cenfone. an Italian who runs shoe repairing shop in the build-' ing on Water street next to the Wash ington block and in which the factory of the Connecticut Pants and Knee Pants company is located appeared at police headquarters late Monday night and reported to Captain I've mey t1at a man had shot at him while he was in the cellar of the building attending to the furnace at about II o'clock. Cenflone claimed that he went into the cellar with a lantern and that a man followed him in and shot at him three times. All three shots came close, he stated, showing a hole in the leg of his trousers and two holes through the lantern which he was car rying. After firing the intruder r9n out by the only entrance to the cell lar, later followed by Cenflone who at once reported the affair to the police. He could give no description of the man who had fired at him and stated that he had no idea as to his iden- tity.
 The Connecticut Pants and Knee Pants company was one of the con- cerns which did not make an agree ment with the striking garment work CTS and Cenf1one may have been mis- taken for someone connected with that concern by some strike sympathizor The police are Investigating the affair but early this morning no develop ments had resulted
 As the employees of the Norwich Shirt and Overalls company were leaving the factory in the DavenpcT. building Monday noon there arose a disturbance on the sidewalk and as a result five persons were arrested charged with breach of the peace and will be presented in police court his (TUesday) morning. No one was in 1ured in the disturbance which was largely a warfare of words Isaac Bos- sell, aged 25, came to police head quarters and said that he understood he was wanted in connection with the case and later four others were d. rested: Harry Greenberg, aged 4C Harry Mandel, aged 19.

THIN FOLKS WHO
 WOULD BE FAT
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or
 More
A Physicians Advice

r'Pd certainly give most anything to be able to fat up few pounds and stay that way" declares every ex- cessively thin man or woman. Such a result is not impossible, despite past failures. Thin people are victims of mal-nutrition, a condition which pre- vents the fatty elements of food from being taken up by the blood as they are when the powers of nutrition are normal Instead of getting into the blood, all the fat and flesh producing elements stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste.
 To correct this condition and to produce a healthy normal, amount of fat the nutritive processes must be artifeially supplied with the power which nature has denied them. This can best be accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sar- gol is a scientific combination of six of the best strength giving fat-p pro- ducing elements known to the medi- cal profession. Taken with meals, it mixes with the food and turns the sugars and starches into rich ripe nourishment for the tissues and blood and it's rapid effect is remarkable Reported gains of from ten to twenty five pounds in single month are by no means infrequent. Yet it's action is perfectly natural and absolutely harmless Sargol is sold by The Lee & Osgood Co, and other good drug gists everywhere and every package contains a guarantee of weight in crease or money back.
 Caution:-While Sargol has pro- duced remarkable results in the treat ment of nervous indigestion and gen eral stomach disorders, it should not owing to it's remarkable flesh pro- ducing effect be used by those wno are not willing to increase their weight ten pounds or more.

evening of the convention was of un- usual excellence and each contestant did himself pred.
 The second evening was mostly talk en up by Rev. Isaac T. Headland, a returned missionary from China, who spoke on Americas part in the making or China It was called the best ever heard at a state convention. The first eight colleges were opened by Christian missionaries who went from this coun- try; 10000 schools have opened up in 23 years and adopted our western ways of teaching. No opium smoker can ever hold a public office. A man who went to Persia to learn to make wine, when he returned, had his head cut off He closed by saying: Oh, God! give us courage to grapple these evils that are killing our boys.
 A vote of thanks was given for the report.
 Mrs. Fields reported visiting the county home and almshouse, accom- panied by several young people.
 Collection was taken and the meet ing adjourned.
