CHELDREN'S CLUB.
The Third Year About To Begin
for This Organization.

The third year Of the Children's s
Club, formed for the benefit of the
Children's Ward at the Emergency
Hospital, will close next Thurs lay,
November 20.
This last year we had a rather
smaller list of members, 1875 al
together, but they have been rather
more regular in their payments
Th money accumulated by these
dear children's weekly pennies dur
ing these three years, has been
more than $500. All the furnish
ings of the Children's Ward have been
paid out of it and the hospital charges
for five of the Sc little donors during
illnesses there.
At present We have about $240 in
bank, as g nucleus to fund for a
larger and better ward for the chill
dren. Now, Annapolis children,
ask you, one and all, will you not
join the Children's Club, and help on
the good work so we'll st9rted? Re-
member, it is only fifty-two cents for
the whole year, and just think, how
much good each fifty-two cents will
help to do. Our State owns and helps
support the hospital, the city helps,
the county helps, the churches all
help.
Now, want the thousand children
in Annapolis and its vicinity to each
give US helping hand. We are try
ing, won't you come and try tool

YULET|DE SPIRIT
OF THE COMMUNITY
City to Have Christmas Tree Every
body Asked to Join.
PEOPLE WILL GATHER ROUND 1T.
And Sing The Old Christmas Carols >
Capital Will Receive Subscriptions.

Everyone in Annapolis will have a
Christmas tree this year. This An
napolis tree will belong TO every man,
woman and child in the city, no mat
ter how rich or how poor or how
friendless or lonely. Everyone will
have a share in it.
fhe community tree will be erect
ed on the downtown square, or city
park, where il will stand during
Christmas week as the embodiment
of the Christmas spirit. Hundreds
of colored electric lights will be used
to decorate il. The tree itself will
be the largest and most beautiful
which can be secured.
The old carols will be sung on
Christmas-eve and on New Year's-eve.
The whole city will be invited to at
tend, for it will be the city's own
tree. Men and women who have
the brains and capacity and the
Christmas spirit to push such pro-
ject through will be asked to serve
on a committee of arrangements.
Musicians and singers will BE- called
upon to share their gifts with the
community at the tree on the two
nights In fact, everyone will be
asked to take part.
The Capital believes in the plan.
They will receive subscriptions for
the necessary expenses. They should
be marked for "The Community
Tree" Mayor Strange has agreed
to do all he can to push the plan
through and will serve on the COM
mittee of arrangements. The plan
for community Christmas tree for
Annapolis is based on the New
York and Boston trees of last win
ter. They were tremendously sue
cessful.
The New York tree-a great CO.
foot balsam pine-was erected in
Madison Square, in the heart of the
city. 1t was decorated with 5000
colored electric lights. From the
topmost bough shone a great star,
symbolical of Bethlehem two thousand
years ago Long before the hour
set for the lighting of the tree on
Christmas-e Madison Square was
througed. AS the crowd stood silent,
watching the turning oil of the lights,
the great cnoir burst into "Silent
Night, Holy Night" Thousands in
the crowd united with the singing on
the platform.
The program lasted from $3.50
O'Clock till o'clock Christmas morn
ing. Sacred and patriotic music, the
hymns and songs of all nations were
sung. Thousands stood for hours en-
joying the spirit of Christmas. The
tree remained standing during Christ
mas week. On Ne& Year's-eve an
other program was rendered.
The outdoor Christmas tree was a
gift in every sense. The Adirondack
Club gave the tree. The railroad
company carried il free. The electric
lights were given. The current was
provided. Donors, who remained un-
known, subscribed to fund to cover
all other expenses. The great orera
singers of the city sang, unannounced
and unheralded. The spirit of
Christmas ruled, everybody trying to
do something for somebody else.

ST. JOHNS OVERWHELMED.
Crippled Eleven Badly Beaten By
Virginia Military Institute.

Virginia Military Institute took
revenge Saturday on st. Johns, the
local institution, and defeated them
by 81 TO 0. Last year St. johns
wen 25 to 8. The game was played
on a muddy field. ST. Johns line
WAS crossed ten times. The St.
Johns team was made up of substi-
tutes because of injuries to Captain
Clark, McNutt and other members
of the eleven. The spectacular play
OF the game was made in the third,
when Lowry received the ball from
st. Johns kickoff and ran Go yards
for a touchdown.
The winners played straight foot
ball and demonstrated their super-
iority in every stage of the contest.
The entire Virginia team was snappy
and alert. St. Johns seemed TO
have an off day and at no time in
the game did they appear dangerous.

wELIvE INA PERIOD OF PATRIOTISM
Greetings From The ARK and The
Dove.

At the recent meeting of the Ninth
Maryland State Conference, held in
the old Senate Chamber, State
House, the following remarks of
Mrs. Katherine Mackenzie Brevitt,
representative from the Society OF
the Ark and the Dove"were made.
Madam State Regent, State Off
GERS and Members of the Daughters
of the American Revolution:
1--WE live in a period when patriot
ism is being encouraged as never be-
fore in the history of our country
This magnificent assemblage bespe axis
for the women OF Maryland an in
terest in patriotic orders and socie-
ties, as wide aud far-reaching as the
boundaries of our country. Mary
land, one of the smallest of the orig
inal thirteen states, prides itself
upon the patriotic spirit manifested
by its women. The organization of
such societies with their direct rela-
tionship to good government, and the
noble achievements of our State as
recorded in history, should draw with
in their ranks every descendant OF
our forbears who, by their self-sacri-
fee and undaunted spirit, laid the
foundation upon which has been erect
ed, with greater results than the
builders ever dreamed of, the very
noblest ideal of national life. A
nation formed by a people within
whose breasts surge the true priuci-
nlao - ;pdsyfd1ol Iiharfrr ond 9raa
dom.
Thirteen years after the landing
of the Pilgrims from the Mayfowef,
there sailed up the broad waters of
the Chesapeake Bay two little shall
lops carrying a small company of
people seeking, in a new country, q
place of refuge and a hcne. Those
little ships bore the names of the
Ark and the Dove, having sailed
from Cloves in the Isle of Wight on
the twenty-second dsv of November,
1888, and, after being buffe ted by
the waves of the Atlantic, and suffer-
ing many hardships, had at last
found their way across that rrackless
waste to the hospitable shores of
America. From their living feight
was planted the first colony in our
State. Lord Bacon has said that the
greatest honor and dignity pre- emf
nently attaches to the founders of a
kingdom or principality, and Maryland
was of this class of settlem snt.
The descendants of those who thus
found an asylum upon the fertile
shores Of Maryland, have organized a
society, bearing the name of the
ships that brought hither their ances-
tors, and which Society is to the
South, chronologically and histori-
cally, what the Mayfiower is to the
North.
"It is my privilege as a humble
member of the Society of the Ark
and the Dove to stand as its repre-
sentative in this assembly. ] bring
you greetings OF good fellowship, and
express wish, on behalf of the
members of that organization, to
unite in every good word and work
which may foster the true aims of
Patriotism.

For the next eight rounds the
honors were Bronson's. He car
ried the fight to me, but seemed
afraid to mix at close range. The
pace was fast, but instead of
growing weaver / gained strength
as the rounds passed, whereas
Bronson displayed symptoms of
weakening.
After the 18th, the gong was
a lot easier for me, and in the
18th, realizing Bronson had shot
his bolt, I started to overcome the
lead he had piled up.
l must have punched him about
35 times a minute for the rest of
the way, mixing jabs, uppercuts,
swings and hooks until 1t seemed
shame to continue. The goth
found Bronson hanging on for
dear life. pushed him away
several times, always following
with a punch. but not having
enough behind 1t to knock him
out.
I was tired, too. and was glad
when the goth round ended, and
we'll satisfied when Referee Wal
lac Wood lifted our hands in tok-
en- OF draw. And from the way
the crowd whooped, 1 guess the
spectators were satisfied, also.

Ray Bronson of Indianapolis
gave me the hardest fight I ever
had. / have fought men I con-
slider his superior, but none of
them handed me a punch like he
did.
Bronson and I boxed in New
Orleans, September 10, 1909, and
pivot blow to my jaw in the
first round paved the way for the
toughest ring engagement I ever
took part in.
Every ounce OF Bronson's
kick went into that smash and
every star In the MILKY way per-
formed flip-flops before my eyes
as I slid to the mat for the first
time in my career.
What happened in the next IL
rounds don't know, for my brain
was full of cobwebs and fog. At
the end, the verdict was well re-
ceived, but was the most sur
prised person in the house at the
fact that Bronson failed to win
with knockout.
Never have 1 stopped so hard a
punch. Ray must have realized
the power behind that blow, but
he failed to follow his advantage
for some reason and 7 was con-
tent to stall, hoping my head
would clear. Not until the 18th
round did l regain my faculties.
realized as the rounds passed
that / was boxing about 40 per
cent below my real ability, but
continued to step around none
the worse for the blow-so read
In the papers the next day-and
Bronson's failure to step in and
knock me out was. l believe, due
to his belief that I was stalling.
When we started I was conf
dent of outpointing Bronson, al
though anticipating a hard bat
tie. Early in the first round we
ciinched. and Bronson showed me
away, then whirled and sloughed
me with the pivot, splitting me for
