WESTERLY i Louis Leone, a contractor at "Watch Hill for the past twelve years, was the complaining witness in the ase against Carlo Xuzello, which was tried before Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third district court Friday. ( Leone had been missing tools for more than a year and suspicion finally was directed at Xuzello, who had been in the em ploy of Leone as a stone mas6n four years. Leone testified that Sunday evening, Nov. 24, he saw Nuzello drive to the 'Meyers residence, where he1 had been at work, enter the nouse, place tools in the wagon and drive off. Leone made no- demonstration, but was satisfied that Nuzello had taken tools that belonged to his employer. He made a complaint to the police and with Police Sergeant Frguson and Policman Curtin visited the home of Nuzello In East avenue, where many of the alleged stolen tools were found. The tools claimed by Leone were taken to the police station. Nuzello was not at home! He was subsequently arrest ed and released on bond. Judge Williams adjudged Nuzello guilty and imposed a fine of $-r5 and costs. An appeal was taken to the superior court and a bond cf $300 fur nished. Since Westerly went dry persons in toxicated on the streets have been re markably rare, so rare that none were seen by the police officers, whose in structions are strict in that particular matter. Friday afternoon a man who had been drinking regularly for sev eral months, a skilled mechanic, who had a bank roll and did not have to work, was quite drunk in Dixon square. It was the imperative duty of the po l!ce to place the man under arrest and they did their duty. This same man was arrested several months ago charged with being a common drunkard, a charge that is easily sustained in Rhode Island. In order to establish the charge all that is required is testimony that he has been on the streets drunk several times even within a short period and with out previous arrest. In view of it be ing the offendir's first appearance in court, judgment was suspended and the man was placed on probation. It is believed that this man purchased booze right in Westerly, and the police will endeavor to ascertain the source from which it came. In court Saturday. Everett Fitzger pld, first-class machinist was before Judge Williams charged with intoxi- cation. Having been previously placed on probation and his sentence sus- pended on the charge of being a com I rrn drunkard, he was sentenced on i that charge to feerve for one year in I the state workhouse.

Legislators who have heretofore been opposed to CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS Stockings Are Also Universal Christmas Gifts The young woman always covets the fine Silk Stockings in black or the modish colors. The woman who spends less thought or. dress knows the value that lies in fine Silk Lisle or good Cotton or Woolen Stocking he warmth and the wearing qualities. The man always needs Socks, and the average man is a little fussy about them, too. Mr. A will wear nothing but Cotton, while Mr. B demands Silk and nothing else. We can supply both of them from our stock. And the children, God bless 'em, are always coming out through the toes, or the heels, or the knees, and a half a dozen pair apiece will be just about right.

N NORWICH TOWN At the First Congregational church Sunday morning a special musical programme was arranged by Organist Herbert D." Yerrington. The regular choir was assisted by members of the Christian Endeavor society. The solo, Martin Duther's Hymn, by Swift, was given in fine voice by Dawrens Hamil ton. As an offertory solo, Miss Ruth Potter who has a sweet soprano voice, sang most sympathetically The Babe of Bethlehem, by Dressier. The church was artistically deco rated with evergreen and urel, fes toons of evergreen extending from the chandelier to the four corners of the church, an immense wreath being suspended from the center. The posts were concealed by green. Miss Mel verda Marsh, who was the efficient chairman of the decorating, committee, was assisted by members of the Chris tian Endeavor soRty and Troop .No. I, Boy Scouts. Rev. George H. Ewing, the pastor, took for his text. "And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy." Matt. 2, 10 The incarnation of God, he said, was a great new beginning, like a col lege commencement when students leap forth into life. The great war is simply a stripping away of entrench ed sin, a clearing of the decks, a grand climax, a fresh chance, to begin again on a higher plane. The measure of the divine life in the human can never be taken by the yardstick of conform ity to rule. Carlyle said that you get to know the truth by living it. The incarnation, contains a wonderful promise. After Christ the world could no more move as it had moved before Christ. The star of the East must become the bright and morning star of the west. The irresistible end of incarnation is to double and redouble itself ' until it Alls the whole earth. When Martin Luther was in great peril and fear, he was seen sitting at a table and tracing on its surface again and again the Latin word Vivit: "He lives. He lives." Let us say alike In inglorious war, and glorious peace, "He lives, God incarnate in my soul!" Wreaths of northern pine, small ce dar trees, ropes of pine and potted plants, the prevailing colors, red and green, made most artistic decorations at the First Methodist church. The whole Sunday morning service was suggestive of the Christmas season. Rev. William Crawford took for his subject, The Advent, and for the text, Luke 2, 11 and 12. After the glory of the Advent the shepherds returned to their work car lying the good news to all about them. We should witness for Christ in the scop, the mill, the store. Those who Icok upward have a message from the higher life. At this season let us give expression to the genuine love we have for our friends. May this glad season be hallowed by an ex pression of love to our Maker and Lord. The most acceptable offering from one who is not a Christian will be the gift of himself to Christ and I lis service. Are we also ready to kneel and adore and offer our best to Him who has given us all things? In , the anthem. I Bring. You' Good Tidings, the wonderful' story was" told in joyous harmony: the Christmas Response. O Holy Child of Bethlehem, was siren softly with good expres sion, the full choir being present.

Fielding, Walter A. Greene; basses, Frank R. Rose, Alfred C. Dodge. Rev. George H. Ewing, pastor of the First Congregational church, conduct ed the Sunday afternoon service at the Sheltering Arms. Rev. Mr. Ewing took for his text, "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2. 11. The Herald Angels tirought this message to the Shep herds a humble folk just like- our selves, and we like the Shepherds must claim Him as ours, for the gift was unto you, not to Joseph or Mary. The Herald Angels announced the irift of Jesus as King. We want no autocrats, but we neejl "a. King in our hearts. J nougn Christ a thousand times m Bethlehem be born, If He is not born in Thee, Thy Soul is still forlorn." The Herald Angels announced Him al so as. our Lord, our owner, and this implies both personal interest and personal control of us. The Herald Angels announced Him as Saviour. Saviour of all the sick, the sorrowful and the lost. Saviour is a great word, no other religion Has It The choir, of the church, assisted by members of the Christian Endavor, rendered the programhie which was given at the church service in the morning.
