RED TIME TALES
CLARA INGRAM JUDSON -
Old Mr.. Cater

AWAY DOWN South in the land Of
sunshine, in = quiet little stream that
flowed gently through the cypress
forests, lived old Mr.. Cater and his
family.
For many years he had lived in
the cave made by the great roots of a
even remember ever living in any
other place. All he knew was that
particular stream and that same safe,
comfortable cave. For. you see, old
Mr.. Cater was very old--very, very
old! Nobody had the faintest sort Of
an idea Just how old he was. Per-
haps he knew, but he certainly did
not tell. No, sir! Mr.. Cater was
far too clever for that! He never
told anything-not he!
OF course IL anybody had been
pery curious, they might have ex-
amined his teeth: but who cares
enough about an .alligator's age to
poke their fingers into his great.
fierce Jaws or to count his great,
sharp teeth? Not I! Indeed. no!
So old Mr.. Cater lived In his cave
maybe hundred years. maybe two
hundred! and very we'll satisfied
was he with his life and surround
ipGs.
When the cold winds blew from
the sea, some distance away, he
crswled deep into tho hole under the
spreading roots and went to sleep in
the muddy water. And when the sun
shone warm and bright, as II mostly
did, be wAkened MP from his sleep
and crawled out into the warmth
and brightness.
But even though Mr.. Cater was
we'll satisfied with his quarters, he
had, to admit that 1t was awkward

you know. They can swim and crawl
and float and walk, but turning
around Is something they never do
unless they have to--and then they
do 1t awkwardly. because their necks
are not made for graceful turning.
And the way his cave was planned
he had to 20 out into tho water and
then turn around and crawl back

BIT OF LOCAL HISTORY
Thomas Todd The First Settler OF
AnnapOlis-How Spa Creek
Got Its Name

Thomas Todd, who came from Vir-
ginia in the period when the Puritans
fed from the prosecutions of Governor
Berkeley into Maryland, 1649, was re-
puted to be the son of Thomas Todd,
who came to Virginia, at least as early
as 1917, since he patented land at
Elizabeth City in that year
The Maryland settler took up land
now on the site of the present An
napolis. This is shown by reference
TO the names of Todd's Creek, in one.
and Ann Arundel, Severn River, in
the other, and as being described as
adjoining the land of Richard Acton,
whose farm lay near Annapolis.
Thomas Todd was a man of large
affairs, and of public business In
1867 he was one of the Commission
ers of Anne Arundel County He re-
moved 10 Baltimore County, and was
sent to the General Assembly from
that county in the year 1914.
He owned much land He set sail
about-th year 1877 for England, hav-
ing charge of 81 hogsheads OF to-
DA~NOs AAN NAOAC LlS cOll lOludS llidl
he desired to see him before he sail
ed, and that he was very sick and
weak. He died at sea- His will was
probated May 30, 1877. His son
Thomas was made his sole executor.
Todd's Creek is now Spa Creek
Tradition has it that the name was
given the present creek from the fact
that an old pork barrel was placed
in a spring on Primrose Farm, and
the deluded public tasting the es-
sence of the meat, concluded that the
spring had medicinal qualities in it,
and called the fountain spa spring"
Hence the name of the creek.
No list of names Of the Anne Arun-
del settlers intact has ever been
found, and they have to be winnowed
out Of departed documents. Amongst
those around Annapolis were Thomas
Hall, Richard Acton, Joyce Bayne,
John Barker and Matthew Burn.

THE 49TH CALL
IN ITS HISTORY
WOman's Suffrage Association To Send
Delegates To Washington
Dec. 18th.

For the forty-ninth time in its his
tory, the National American Woman
Suffrage Association issues a call Il
its State Auxiliaries to send theii
delegates TO meet with officers, com.
mitttees and life members in annua
convention. The place selected is
Washington, ID. c., Polls Theatre. De
cember 1915. inclusive.
Since the last meeting, the all en-.
quilting world war has drawn this
country into its maelstrom and omi-
nous clouds rest over the earth, OBJ.
securing the vision and Expressing the
souls of mankind. Yet out of the
confusion and chaos of strife, there
has developed stronger promise OF
the triumph of democracy than the
world has ever known.
Every allied nation has announced
that it is fighting for democracy and
the President has declared that I'VE
are fighting for democracy, for the
right of those who submit to authority
to have a vaice in their own govern
ment." Now Russia has answered the
call; Great Britain has pledged full
suffrage for women and the measure
has already passed the House of Com
mons by the enormous majority of
sevnen to one. Canada, too, has re-
sponded with five newly enfranchised
provinces; France is waiting only to
drive the foe from her soil to give her
women political liberty.
Such an array of victories gives
faith TO believe that this government
will soon follow the example of other
allied nations and will also pledge
votes to its women citizens as an
earnest justice of its sincerity that in
truth we do fight for democracy.
This is the first national convention
since the country entered the war
New problems and new issues are to be
faced, and the nation is realizing its
dependence upon women as never be-
fore. 1t must be made to realize also
that, willingly as women are now
serving, they can serve still more
efficiently when they shall have re-
ceiyed the full measure of citizenship
These facts must be urged upon Con-
gress and our government must be
convinced that the time has come fo-
the enfranchisement of women, by
means of an amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution.
Men and women who believe that
the great question of world democ-
racy includes government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people
of the country are invited to attend
the convention and counsel with the
members on ways and means to at
tain this object at the earliest posi-
BILE moment.
The members of the local Suffrage
League who have been named as dele
gates to attend this convention, and
who will go over to Washington early
in the week, are Mrs. Hill, the Presi-
dent; Mrs. Stevens, the Secretary,
and Mrs Moss, Congressional Chair
man.
Plans are being made for a large
delegation to go over to the mass
meeting on Sunday, the 10th, at
Polls Theatre, and will occupy box
which has been reserved for the Mary
land delegation
A hearing has been granted by the
Maryland Congressman On Wednes-
day, December 18th. All of the An
napolis suffragists are invited to be
present
