Santa Glalta JB
BY ELDoN PATTERSON

Tust as truly as love is. Santa Claus is
- santa Claus is a psrsonified sonti-
ment he is a reality.
We speak and learn and teach OF a God
whom the world has never seen exeept in
Christ Jesus. yet His existence is manifest
in everything lie is a reality.
Santa Claus need not exist in phvsical
form 20 be comprehensible--h spirit Is
endowed and devolved upon millons Of
willing personihers, who in the spirit in
which old Santa himself would shower
blessings. shower them for him.
II isn't lo TO tell the children Santa is
coming; It isn't even a white" lie
Santa Claus IS eouingl
He may be the father mother, brother or
a stranger but the sentiment Of Santa
Claus is upon him. He IS Santa Claus
Heis the expression Of that which ether
wise would indeed bo myth or cease 10
exist: he is the action Of a world-old
thought; he is the physical component
of Love, Charity and Pity.
Santa Claus is Love made tangible.
he IS not one, but many, and il takes all
the flesh and blood Santa Clauses Of all the
world combined 10 make the one big Santa
Claus whom the children know and wor-
ship and whom we symbolic In great furs
the wondrous figure whose great, kindly
face with its never waning smile invites the
confidence Of the universe.
Santa Claus is.
His visible form Is generosity and kind
ness. .
You can see him giving the nevsboy
quarter for a penny paper.
You can See him. Scroogs-like though it
may seem, helping here and there;
Or, and this Is nobler than all the rest,
you can see him sharing his last tiny mite
with another. while tears Of pity and hap
piness mingle in the bright smile the
token gives.
Every household in it's own way knows
its Santa Claus.
Don't deceive the children by telling them
there is no such person.
Santa Claus is, and may he always be.

The Mexican situation grows
worse, paucho Villa has proven
10 be worse than Huerta As
soon as he got possession OF Chi
huahua he begun TO show his real
nature. Churches were looted CT
their most sacred yaluables, the
priest humiliated, stores and
banks robbed and men murdered
right and left. At best he is but
highwaymnn and brigand. who
has floated TO the surface on the
wave of unhappy conditions.
Caranza is gentleman, but he
has no control over Villa. he is
rather at the mercy of this rullian
free booter.
AS is we'll known there is moth
ing to be hoped for from Huerta.
He is but higher order of the
Villa type. Unhappy Mexico,
her only hope is intervention by
the United States, however un.
tasteful it may be. This is not
all, when the United States goes
in there it will have to stay, and
it is but question of time until
intervention becomes a necessity.
This country is now being dis
graced by its apparent apathy.

This demand always exceeds the nor.

treasury has heretofore not always
been in a position to meet fully each

that all who wish can have their

will be sent to the Philadelphia mint
from the United States treasury
vaults. whence they will be supplied
to the banks calling for them.

Norwich Elks, with big crowd of the citizens of the town, lined up along Main street to give a royal welcome home on Friday evening to Captain Danny Murphy of the worlds cham pions, the Philadelphia Americafns, in honor of his place at the head Of the team that won the baseball honors of the world this year
 Gathering at the Elks home in au- tomobiles, the members of the lodge moved in blaze of red fire to the garage on Thames square where Capt. Danny was awaiting them in his own machine. This swung into line inn mediately behind the band and the parade escorted the captain of the Athletics back to the Home, where the brief indoor exercises of the evening were held.
 John P. Flynn. esquire of Norwich lodge, No. 4S0, and marshal of the parade, had the line of machines nov ing at a few minutes past eight o'clock with Tubbs' band in the lead and sticks of red fire in the hands of the we'll filled fifteen machines in line Illuminating the way. Forty members of the lodge had intended to be on hand with their machines but the raiEy evening and slippery travelling deterred many.
 In the marshaIs machine, which was driven by Eugene Pattison were Mar shaI Flynn, Alderman HOurigan, Coun- cilnan Williams D. J. Mccormick, T. H. Crawford, In Capt. Danny Mur- phys machine with him rode John F. Gunshanan of Hartford, former state tuberculosis commissioner; John Green of Philadelphia, and John A. Brady of this city. In the third machine which was that of John Porteous, were MT. Porteous, Mayor Murphy, Police Chief George Linton. Exalted Ruler John ,.71o7y Ctitxy C011rt T1161a I Kelly.

Fenton. pr. F. J. .FIar- per, D. J. Mccormick, Jr., Louis Gott- helf, George Lathrop and Joseph Sul- lfvan.

 Along the line of march numerous places where EIks were found burned red fire, these including the Wauregan house Dr. Louis c. Cassidy, the Colo nial theatre and Druggist Nickerson. Railroad men from the New Haven road were also on Main street near the station waving their red lanterns.
 On the way back from the West Side a detour was made through Water street and stop for a few minutes made in front of the White Elephant Cafe, at the corner of Market and Wa ter. of which Capt. Murphy is pro- prietor. The band played while the parade halted

WOUND AND POWDER MARKS
 AROUND HIS EAR
Doctor Has Not Prohed for Bullet That
 May Be in Henry Coon's Head.

Henry Coon, the farmer from the Lantern Hill section of Ledyard, who was brought to the jail here on Tues day evening after a justice hearing before John H. Barnes, is still at the jail and has had attention from Dr. Patrick Cassidy the jail physician, be- cause of the bullet wound in his head.
 Friday night pr. Cassidy said that the man IS getting along as well as can be expected Whether he has a bullet in his head or not the doctor said he could not tell as he had not dared probe for it. The wound is around and in the mans ear and the pistol fired was so close to the mans head at the time that the powder is all peppered into his skin around the powder because the weapon was so close when it was fired There is also a wound through the mans cheek.
 Coon was brought to the jail last Tuesday after the justice hearing, bonds having been placed at $2.0O0 and not secured. Coon is accused of at tempting to kill his stepson, Everett Watson, 16 years old. Coon and an other stepson, John Watson, accused of assault. were given a hearing be- fore John H Barnes of Norwich acting as justice of the peace, on Tuesday at the Coon home The bond for John Watson was made $200.
  bers of his family happened Monday night. Coon came home and found that his 16-year-old stepson, Everett, had failed to do some task he had set him for that day and had amused himself otherwise Enraged by this the lad, pummeled him severely and when the boy broke away and fled to the barnyard, grabbed 32 calibre Hopkins & Allen revolver he sometimes carried and fired four shots after the boy None reached it's mark, but the sound of them served to notify an 18-year-old brother, John, of trouble at the house, He left his work and hurried to the scene and declares he found Coon abusing his mother, a wo- man of about 40 years who has borne three children to Coon as well as the two by her earlier marriage.
 According to Watson, Coon still had the revolver in his hand and Watson feared he would wound the woman. He speedily jumped upon the older man, intent on wrestling away the re- volver which he accomplished, but iR the struggle the weapon was dis charged and the bullet entered Coon's head just behind the ear. These were the facts regarding the struggle as brought out in the evidence.
 The Watson boys are industrious and well behaved, and are highly spok- en of by all their nefghbors.
 Coon, it is said, has asked Lafay- cite Main, famous for his connection in some capacity with a large share of the civil and criminal cases that have came to the courts from this vicinity for several years past, to become his bondsnan. Should he succeed in get ting out on bond. neighbors fear he will return and do harm to his family and to those in the vicinity he consid- CTS his enemies

PERMISSION TO SELL
 FIRST NATIONAL BUILDING. Receiver Murray Has Offer of $25,ooo for Real and Personal Property.
Tn fine civil superior court h

Tn the civil superior court here at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon before Judge Greene the petition of Harold G. Mur- ray for an order allowing him to sell the real and personal property of the First National bank, now in process of liquidation, was presented.
 Arthur M Brewer, president Of the Norwich Savings society, was called as a witness and he testified that the building was sold by the Norwich Saw fngs society to the First National bank years ago for the sum of $25,000. He looked up ,000 as a fair offer He said the Norwich Savings society holds 300 shares of the stock of the First National bank and is the largest share holder
 Mir. Brewer said he considered that the removal of the pOstofice from that locality had deteroriated property there and he doubted if as much as $25, 900 could be serured for this at an auction. It was property out of the shopping district and valuable chiefly for a banking house.
 The location of the bank for busi- ness and banking purposes was brief ly discusesd MT Shields said he would call Charles R. Butts as to val ues, but the court thought there had been enough testimony
 Judge Greene took the papers and told MT Shields to make out the needed order. and the court ordered all parties interested and who desired to buy the property to meet in a place to be named and that the property must be sold to the person who pays the highest price. The date for the sale decided upon by the court is Sal urday, Nov 1, in this city. Attorney Shields said there were prospects that a bigger price would be secured.
 Then Sheriff Draper adjourned the court.
 The First National Bank property is in the assessors list at $35,000. It has been regularly put in at S30,OOO by the bank people and raised to $35,~ 900 by the assessors.
 It is understood that the property went into the government appraisal at the figure of s30,O00.
 When asked what they intended to do with the building, the members. of the firm of Murphy & McGarry said Friday evening that they hadn't got 1t yet and were not prepared to say any thing now,

 In behalf of your friends in Norwich lodge of Elks, I wish to extend to you a. hearty welcome back to the city.
 Only few days ago admirers of our national game were aroused as to what the result of the worlds series would be. The people of your own city were of only one mind, and that was that you and your club would take back to Philadelphia once more the great vic tory which you have achieved.
 Captain Murphy, it gives me great pleasure to present to you tonight a life membership card. presented to you by your friends of this lodge. I know of no gift member of the EIl1s could receive that would be appreciated more by you and 1 wish to express to you the good wishes of this noble order

 Exalted Ruler John Carney who had introduced the mayor next called upon Mir Gunshanan of Hartford. He re- Sponded in a ready way with @ refer ence to his former occupation as a state officer, in which he had to talk much about those who were possibly near death, but now it seemed he was to talk about a real live one. He said it was natural he should be interested in the Athletics, as he had learned his baseball from Connie Mack, and he iauded Connie mad Dan and Harry Davis as the men behind" to whom the credit for victories could go. He said he believed the Athletics were the greatest baseball team that was ever gotten together, and he would be glad to go back to Hartford and tell the people that Captain Murphy was in right here and he would put him in right if he ever came to Hartford.
