Many Gifts for President.

Special to the Record.
Washington, D. c., Dec 23.-
Christmas presents are arriving
il! great nuN. bers at the White
House, coming from relatives,
personal friends and admirers of
the ROosevelts. The character
Of the gifts is varied. Some are
costly, others unique, and not a
few on the freak order. They
come not only 1r M the States
but from the West Indies and
the far east. Cigars without
number are sent to the President
from Cuba, Porto Rico and Man.
l;u, the senders evidently not be-
ing aware OF the fact that Mr..
Roosevelt, unlike his predeces-
sor, has no great fondness for
tobacco. From China and the
Philippines come many curios
and uoJ few of these are ad-
dressed to the younger members
of the President S family. Trop-
ical fruits, including crates OF
pineapples, bananas and oranges,
have been received at the EXecu
tive Mansion, and turkeys, bar
rels of apples, and wild game
have come from trends within
the States.

young man entering upon q business ca
reer needs this quality-it is the one thing
without which he cannot hope to be q
successful business man.
There is a crisis in every mans life
when he Is called upon to make mo-
mentous choice between the road to sue
like a man walking along a straight road
who unexpectedly encounters a fork in
the pathway. Here three roads diverge.
The center one, that most frequently TAX
en-, leads to mediocrity. OF the other two,
one leads to success and the other to
failure; there is no finger post, and
mans decision depends entirely upon his
own intuition. This intuition is merely
the outcome OF concentration. If man
has devoted his best efforts to the busi-
ness he has in hand, he possesses the
ability to make wise choice; if not, be
is lost.
No one can advise at the critical mo-
ment. If the individual has earnestly
endeavored to master his business, and
has acquired a thorough knowledge of
it, he is in position to map out the
right course for himself; if not, no ad-
vice can prove availing.
To succeed to-day, man must possess
originality and perseverance; he must
master and understand himself and sis
business and have stamina. Half-heart-
edness ip business only leads to disap-
pointment. To succeed, man must con-
centrate his thoughts and energies upon
his work, and such concentration Is
bound to bring its own reward.

A GOSSIP PARTY.
Where the Men Retail Brilliant Scraps
oT

Where the Men Retail Brilliant Scraps
of News.
Let it not be imagined that a gossip
party is confined to the sex credited
with having d corner on the gossip
market. There must be an equal num-
Der of men and women present at this
fascinating function. In the first place.
the hostess writes dozen Or more
topics of conversation upon cards,
which are handed to guests upon their
arrival The subjects usually chosen
are of up-to-date and piquant charac-
ter, a startling bit of news, a new
novel or picture, the fiirtations of ones
friends, questions of costume, favorite
dishes, or tastes, etc. Chairs arranged
in pairs and sofas scattered about the
rooms have numbers attached to them,
just as many as there are couples;
these numbers are drawn for. and each
couple drawing corresponding numbers
hunts up the. seats similarly num-
bered.
After the manner of progressive card
parties, a bell is rung to announce each
topic of conversation for which five
minutes are allowed. At the end of
that time the men rise and pass on to
the seat next theirs in number. At
each change of places the next subject
on the cards is taken up and chatted
about. The women remain seated,
while the men progress until the en-
tire circle is made, or until the hos
tess announces the conclusion of the
gossip. Slips of paper and pencils are
then distributed and the women vote
for the men whose gossip has most in
terested them, and vice versa. The
two gaining the most votes receive
prizes as a reward of their brilliancy.-

warded a communication to the Com
mercial Museum. 1t is the transla-
ton of a proclamation issued by the
Acting Governor Of the State Of OAK
aca, Mexico. The decree announces that
a prize Of $1,000 in Mexican currency
will be granted to the person or COM
pany that within the next three years
shall drill and put into working order
an artesian well in the City Of Oaxaca
or in the towns Of Xochinilco and San
Felipe del Aqua and Hacienda de
Aquilera.
Exemption from all local taxes will
be granted to those who undertake the
work from the date Of commencing it
and for the period of ten years there
after if results are successful. Dur
ing the operations the company OF per-
sons engaged in the work, as also all
employees, will be exempt from all per-
sonal taxes.
The property, possession Of same and
use of the artesian well will belong
exclusively to the persons to whom the
concessions are granted. In order to
obtain the concession written appli-
cation must be made to the Governor
Of Oaxaca.
The competition is open to American
drillers, and it is expected that as re-
suit of the recent triumphs Of Ameri-
ican engineers in obtaining coveted con-
tracts for similar work, an American
will carry off the prize.

THE THANKFUL HEART.

Thou art not rich, thou art not poor;
Thy fortune keeps the middle way.
No ills thy strength cannot endure,
ApportioDed to the passing day.
Thou art not young, thou art not old,
Yet calm thou seest thy years depart,
And joys are thine a thousand fold
Because thou hast the thankful heart.
A thankful heart for life alone
For beauty in the earth and skies
(And for such share as thou dost own
By happy gift of seeing eyes,;
For human loves endearing bond,
Where stanchly thou dost bear thy
part;
For solace here and hope beyond
For all thou hast the thankful heart.
So to this day of crowning cheer
By easy course thy steps did tend.
Since with each day of all the year
Some grateful leaven thou didst blend
No chance thy prize from thee can wrest;
While life shall last thou shall not part
With that good gift (of all the best)-
The treasure of thankful heart.

and women, and less method. Let US
continue to build character, the founda-
ton of which is duty.
Our schools should maintain and pro-
duce the rugged independence Of thought
and action Of Americas forefathers, and
eliminate time-serving diplomacy which
places individual security and prosperity
before permanent liberty and personal
independence.
The future of Porto Rico, Cuba and
the Philippines depends more upon their
teachers than upon the sword. Much has
already been done; the future problem
is not to be solved by the army or the
navy, or both forces combined. The
teacher and the home will solve the fu-
ture problem of government in this coun-
try and in any new lands coming under
its flag.

height of five or six feet, and bears
a profusion Of large. yellow flowers. so
brilliant that they attract immediate
attention, even at a great distance.
But the chief popularity about the
plant is the fact that the flowers,
which open just before sunset. burst

An Odd Method of Heating Cars.
The Northwestern Railway Company
of England has equipped some Of its
trains with a system of heating to
which the much-abused term unique
may well be applied. Two concentric
cylinders are employed, the annular
space between which communicates
with a steam pipe extending from the
locomotive boiler. The inner cylinder
contains acetate Of soda-a compound
remarkable for it's property of lique-
flying when heated, and of cooling very
slowly. The radiators thus constituted
are incased in asbestos-lined boxes hav-
ing hinged doors. By opening or clos
ing the door of box the heat is turn
ed on or off.
