/ Xmas Gift Novelties.
The strings of Chinese beads and new
ljeweled hair combs and hairpins, wrist
watches and tiny enameled boxes for
the ubiquitous beauty patch are among
the new fashions in Xmas gifts while
for the more male a marvellous now
walking stick which carries in it's slen-
der insides the wherewithall to turn it's
self into a three legged picnic seat, a
quaint old monks teapot and monks
hooded lamp of dull metal that conceal
bottles, flat watches, hexigon shaped
and thin as waters, are among the
many novelties.
If you are clever with your fingers,
out of brocaded MORE, dull galleen and
tube of library paste you can fashion
the most exquisite gifts with bristol
board or cardboard foundations such as
desk blotters and book racks, calen
dars and dainty books to hang on the
telephone and record of needed tele-
phone numbers, jewel and sewing
boxes, wastepaper baskets and lamp
shades. With a touch of gold lace and
a few of the dainty French flowers of
silk and ribbosine you will have credi-
table rivals of the imported French
gold lace and brocade art work that is
as costly as it is beautiful.
For the kiddies there are new fash
toned trains of steel cars that run by
wonderful miniature yachts,
and automobiles run by the same
power There are also elegantly out
fitted Partisan dolikins that talk, walk
and sing, musical chairs that trill you

thing that child hearts could wish for,
inventors and artists devise and Dad
pay for-and lots that he can't.

MR.. Ewing EXPLAINS
PROMOTION OF negro
Says There Was No White Applicant
for Chief Messengership in
Patent Office.
STEWART DECLARED QUALIFIED

There Is absolutely no reason for any
complaints on the part of Patent Office
employees regarding the recent promotion
of a colored man to a $1,000 job, held for
the last fifteen years by a white man.
said Commissioner of Patents Thomas w.
Ewing last night
Mr.. Ewings statement was made in re-
sponse to inquiries concerning reports cir
culated during the last few weeks to the
effect that the head of the Patent Office
Disseminated against white applicants
when he appointed Thomas II. Stewart
colored, to the chief messengership, to
take the place OF W. B. Zimmerman,
white, who was. upon his own wish,
transferred to the clerical department OF
the bureau.
Stewart has been a messenger in the
Patent ONCE for, more than twenty-five
years" continued Mr.. Ewing. He knows
every nook and corner OF the Office and
every piece OF paper and government
property and is a faithful, competent, and
industrious man. He is about forty-five
years old.
Mr.. Zimmerman, who has held the
chief messengership for the last fifteen
years, has made repeated requests to be
transferred to the clerical department.
This wish was complied with recently
and We had the choice among four negro
messengers to take Zimmermann's job.
We chose. Stewart because he is the best
fitted for that work. There was no white
applicant for the position, neither was
there any white or colored man as well
equipped for the work as Stewart"
With the promotion to the chief mes
sengership Stewart was given a raise of
$50 a year. 1t is said that he is the first
colored man to be chief messenger in the
Patent ONCE.

Il VERY ambitious and compe-
T. tent man properly and natu-
rally considers going into bust
ness for himself High ambition is
opposed to remaining indefinitely a
wage-or salary-earner, and looks
forward to being in command of
himself and others.
Unfortunately, seventy-fve or more
per cent of men are incompetent TO
manage a business or to direct
themselves or others, and they are
likely to fail if they start out for
themselves, and are, therefore,
obliged to depend upon themselves
for the direction of themselves.
Statistics, which, by the way,
should not be valued at net, show
that all but about ten per cent of
men in business for themselves have
failed or will fail, although many
of them eventually succeed. The
risk is great, yet it should be taken
by those who have in them the ma
terial of which success is made,
and who have sufficient discretion
and-judgment to manage themselves
and their affairs. No great result
or mastery achievement is possible
without some risk. Undue risk is
tnjjuStifable and has nothing to rec
ommend it. On the other hand, too
much caution stands in the way of
progress. The road of expediency
is located between the two.
No one, however, should consider
going into business for himself until
he is thoroughly grounded by expe-
rience in the line which he is to
follow. Great ability has little mar
ket vaiue without experience. Pro-
fciency in doing a thing does not
necessarily carry with it the ability
TO direct such efficiency. Half of
our bright men radiate moonshine,
not sunshine. After one has had
five, better ten, years of practical

CLASH ON VIVISECTION
Attack on Practice BY Philadelphia
Physician Causes Airing
De-
of Views.
BOTH PRESENT ARGUMENTS

Two clashing opinions regarding the
charges of the uselessness and cruelty Of
| vivisection were voiced by DR.. George
Tully Vaughn. of this city, and Rev. DR..
c. Ernest Smith, chairman of the local
Anti-vivisection Society, last night in re-
plying to an attack on methods used by
surgeons and students in experimenting
| on animals made by DIR. W. R. d. Black
wood, one of the best-known surgeons Of
Philadelphia, in a recent lecture.
DR.. Blackwood, who was at one time
physician to Abraham Lincoln and Is an
authority on surgical work. charged that
in one medical college in Philadelphia
forty animals were operated upon in
week, and that in the past year not one
dollar has been paid for anaesthetics.
''Vivisection is cruel and unnecessary,
he said Il wish to declare that no ad-
vance has been made in the surgical or
medical world through vivisection. The
advance in surgery is due to the cleanli-
ness of the operator and the patient.
It is an outrage the way certain opera
tors treat dumb animals when they are
placed on the table"
DR.. Vaughn was emphatic in taking issue
with DR.. Blackwood, asserting that much
advance had been made in surgery by
means of vivisection. particularly during
the last ten years. Every well-balanced
and right-minded physician or surgeon,
he said recognizes the importance OF
vivisection to the medical world and n
some fields of the work II has been in
Gispensable. There is no denying though
that there have been useless cases, and
not all the operations upon animals are
necessary bu. these. however, reputable
surgeons carefully avoid. AS for the use
Of aaaesthetics the reason why it is
not so generally used is because il is
not altogether necessary in a great ma
jority Of the cases"
Rev. DR.. Smith. who has taken the lead
in the District in the fight against viv!-
section. strongly supported DR.. Black
woods charges. DR.. Parkhurst, of New
York, he said. is emphatic in asserting
that vivisection is useless to the scientific
world and denounces the needless
cruelty in operating on animals in a
rroftless cause. He referred to the state
ments OF DR.. Cowan, the eminent
British surgeon, member OF the Royal
College of Surgeons, who has vigorously
opposed vivisection wherever he has
spoken on the subject
That the people of the District will
continue their campaign to wipe out vivi-
section, DR.. Smith said, is only evident
by the growth of the agitation stirred
by the recent congress held here

the entertainment. Mr.. Holmes offered
enlightenment as to many puzzling points
in native manners and dress, even soiv-
ing in detail the mystery of the familiar
Korean hat. The spectator comes away
with a more favorable impression of Ko-
rean intelligence and character at the
same time gaining added admiration for
the Japanese enterprise that has wrought
such marked improvement in the appear
ance and administration of the country.

ton picture showing by the method of ac-
celeration the daily ebb and flow Of the

In Business for Yourself
u BYR

experience, he may consider going
into business for himself, provided
he has, or can obtain, sufficient capi-
tai. Borrowing capital is not gen.
orally to be recommended, unless
one has great ability, unusual op-
portunity. and is willing to work
indefatigably, or is to enter some
small and safe business where the
risk is reduced to the minimum.
Better wait too long than be pre-
mature.
A few more years in the wage
earning harness fits one to drive
with greater degree of safety, and
is likely to insure success.
Do not allow your unsupported
opinion to furnish you with reason
for giving up a living salary and
entering business as your own mas
ter. Unless half a dozen level
headed business men, who know
you and are familiar with the busi-
ness you contemplate entering, ad-
wise you to take the step, wait until
you can convince them of the safety
of the move. If you cannot prove
to discriminating business men that
you have the ability, and that other
conditions are right, for this seri-
Gus action, it is probable that you
are not competent or ready to give
up salary and take the chances
with yourself where you must nee
essarily be your own director, in
command of yourself and those
under you.
Do not be deceived with the ap-
parent independence and seeming
glory of being your own manager,
for nobody, from the Millionaire to
the chimney-sweep, is in complete
command of himself. He is de-
pendent upon his customers and
others with whom he comes in con-
tact, and never is permitted to do as
he pleases, however high may be his
position in the business world.
