Which half concealed a bright, contrast

Thick Jeweled with the pearls of misuetoe.
Then suddenly resolve leapcd 10 my mind,
A Wild resolve and one extremely bold

And strive 10 kiss her.
Lo. the maiden came,
With welcome smile and outstretched

To where ] stood expectant She adj

Until, unconscious and serene, she stood
Directly meath the shining mistletoe
And. though with trepidation in my heart

The daring deed.
Sweet moments followed: then
While startled she sought refuge in my
arms.
But brief the JOY for then from under

DAMN song OUT OF
PLACE SAYS DANIELS
Secretary Of the Navy, in New York.
Asserts Carabao Tune Was
'Indelieate."
@FILIPIkos ARE NOT UNFIT

New York, Dec. 17.-speai1ing about the
now notorious dinner Of the Carabao So
ciety, Secretary Daniels tonight said:
81 think that the song Of Damn, Damn.
Damn the Insurrectos,' especially at this
time, was very indelicate and out of
taste. dinner given by officers Of an
army and navy and with Cabinet officers
present is not sufficiently intimate to per-
nit the liberties that were taken. Both
Mr.. Garrison and myself are investigating
the matter"
Speaking about the Philippine policy
the Secretary said:
THE Filipinos have at present the ma
jority Of commissioners, which viii prove
TO them that we are sincere. It Is alb
snrd to say that they are unfit for self
government. They may not be now but
we will educate them up to II. We will
teach them English first OF ALL
Garrison Remains silent.
The Investigation ordered by President
Wilson into the proceedings at the
Carahao dinner last week, where army
and navy officers perpetrated jokes at the
expense Of the administration, was at a
standstiIl yesterday.
Secretary Garrison, who was placed in
charge of the matter by President Will
son. has read over, he said, the ma
terial placed in his hands by the Cara
bao committee. He had deferred making
any decision in regard to II, however,
he said. until he had an opportunity to
confer with Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. Secretary Daniels went to New
York yesterday. so the conference was
postponed until today.
That the Cabinet officers are likely TO
recommend to the President that some
OF the officers responsible for the OBJ
tectionable features Of the program at
the Csrabao dinner be reprimanded. was
the impression in military circles
DIR. Joseph Heller. secretary Of the or
der, yesterday declared that no matter
what action President Wilson might take
the society would not be dismissed. He
said:
II have not received any designations
from any Of the officers Of the society,
nor have I received any letters from
the newly elected officers that they would
accept the offices to which they were
elected You can confidently rest as
sured that the society will have another
annual dinner next December"

Miss Dabney, who has charge of the
said last night that 1t IS
hoped all Democratic women and wom-
ems societies Of this city will take ad-
vantage of the offiees-or, as Miss Dab
ney termed them, the home of the Demo-
Gratis of the gentler sex. The home"
will be used largely for social functions
Of any Democratic women's societies

Christmas trade will reach a new

tail Merchants Association.

but have brought their horse-drawn de-
livery wagons into use to take care of
the big volume of business that a busy
Christmas season has brought forth.
Not only are Christmas goods on the
move, but there Is also a big demand for
staples and practical goods generally,
most OF which are intended for sur
prise on Christmas Morn"
The downtown streets were crowded
In the afternoon hours-hence the sug-
gestion that shopping in the early morn

circumstances than later in

of shopping in the morning hours Of the

MEDICAL men
BACK DR.. Stokes
Society Of District Urges His
Reappointment as Sur
geon General.
RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED
Retiring President Dr.. William P.
Can, Makes Farewell Address
and Reads Paper.

| AS the climax OF a movement on, fol
saveraI months among the medical pro
| fession of washington and OF the coun'
try at large, urging the reappointment Of
Admiral Charles r. Stokes, surgeon gen
eral of the United States navy, whose
term is soon to expire, the Medical So
| ciety 81 the District Of Columbia at IL
regular monthly meeting last night
unanimously adopted a resolution laud-
ing The brilliant work. OF the surgeon
general
TO the approaching end Of the term OF
Admiral Stokes, who was appointed py
former President Taft four years ago. II
was admitted by leading members Of the
Medical society last night that the hid
den meaning of the action Is TO inn
press on Secretary OF the Navy Daniels
the fact that the medical men OF the
National Capital and OF the United states
in general are backing the surgeon gen
erai to the fullest extent and would IKE
to see him reappointed.
Have Worked Quietly.
The moyement in behalf of the Surgeon
General. although secretly carried on
tbroughout the country, has not been
known generally and did not assume sub
stantial proportions locally until the
Medical Society's action last night.
Medical men are reluctant 10 come 70
tha front" as openly in the matter as
they would like. 1t Is said. because 1t
would appear too much like "meddling in
politics.
The last meeting Of the year Of the
society was featured by the farewell ad-
dress of the retiring president DR.. Will
lam p. Carr. who Is to be succeeded by
DR.. John r. Wellington. After express
ing his appreciation of the cooperation
of the members during the past year DR..
Carr read a scientific paper on "A New
Era in Surgery" dealing largely with
painless operations and with the pres
ent-day tendency toward making free
dom from pain the keynote OF medical
work: DR.. Carr was given rising vote
of thanks and several speeches were
made congratulating him on his work as
head OF the organization.
No Mention of Carabaos.
Those who had expected that the So
ciety would take any action in regard
to the now famous Carabao dinner. were
disappointed. Neither the dinner nor the
criticism made by President Wilson was
mentioned at the meeting. However,
some OF those present smiled significantly
when DR.. Carr, in the prologue to his
paper, said:
''while president Of this society, have
learned many things that may benefit
my successor and shall impart them to
him in private; have also learned many
things that may possibly be Of benefit to
the society and will put them in this
form of resolutions or motions at future
meetings"
A large number Of medical men belong
to the Carabao Society.
resolution Of respect to the memory
of the late DIR. George Henderson. for
merly surgeon general Of the District
National Guard, also was adopted by
the society.
The Washington herald., 1913-12-18

Besides heartily indorsing the don't
issued by the New York fire commits
sioner, Chief Frank J. Wagner, OF the
Washington fire department last night
aGded a few additional warnings.
Mr.. Johnson's don't providing Tor
substitution of electric lights for candles
Is all right for the class Of people who
can afford IT, said Chief Wagner. But
there are thousands OF families, living IN
humber homes and In less fortunate
financial circumstances that cannot az
ford electric lights and have to use can
dles. These people cannot be warned
too emphatically to observe the utmost
care and caution in lighting and extin-
guishing the candles, and In watching
them while they burn"
There was a sentimental expression on
the face Of the head Of Washingtons
hrenghters as he continued:
Though I'm IRE chief. and as sucn
would advise electric lights TO sdorn the
Christmas tree wherever possible. yet
Its candles for me every time. There's
