Ambition.

Dear Uncle Jed: It is long tiHle since wrote anything for tho !Wide-Avakes, so have decided to write 2 few lmes on Ambition.
 FherA are serns who denepnee anabi- tion, as wholly bad, and to be avoided by all; but think We ought to make a distinction between true and false ann bition.
 I will mention Napoleon as an illustra- tfon of false ambition, which is selfish in itself, and has brought ruin aad mis- cry to prosperous nations. Again there are some who are ambitious to dress bet ter than their neighbors, and their prin- cipal thoughts are centsred 0pon the tie

 When she was not quite So old as she Is now sine had some chickens and the neighbors' cats used to kill them. So one day she went out in the. yard and saw a nice fat cat asleep on the fence She grabbed him by Ire nap of the neck and took him to the cellar fer she thought T will get even with you.". Once in the cellar she put a rope around his neck and hung it over a nail on a beam over her head. -. Then she went over to the ether side
 of the cellar and pulled the rope. The cat swpng back and forth and howlet and scratched but could not get away Her fathef, could not get. the 'ropa of the cats neck. When he went down After a while the cat quieted down ant they got the rope off but the cat died SC he did not kill any more of her chickens Yours truly.

CHRISTMAS TREE-FIRE
RECORD WILL BE'ZER0
IF CHIEFS ADVICE GOES

An appeal to the parents of the city
to make this a fireless Christmas In
Washington by keeping candles and
decorations off the Christi
mas trees was issued last night by
Fire Chief George Watson.
Last year, the chief recalled WASH
ington made good showing with
only four fires due to Christmas trees.
but he urged the community to better
that record this year.
During the Yuletide season last year
only one person. a youth OF twenty.
was burned while trying to throw
a blazing Christmas tree out of a win
dow. This year the chief hopes there
will be no casualties. Here are some
of the suggestions made by Watson
as safeguards against Christmas
fires:
DO not use candles on the tree.
Candles are made to light and
children will light them in spite
of warnings.
DO not use cotton for imitation
snow under the tree. If you must
have snow, use powdered mica
or asbestos fiber.
DO not leave Christmas trees
in or near the house too long.
After the needles dry they catch
fire easily"

Sentences of Gordon Brothers Post
poned in Murder Case.

Rufus Gordon, colored convicted
of murder in the first degree. ana
Roy Gordon. his brother. convicted of
second degree murder, in connection
with the shooting to death of Ben
jamin Miller. a grocer, appeared In
Criminal Court yesterday morning for

week because their counsel expects
to have important affidavits to submit
in support of a motion for new trial.
Rufus Gordon's conviction carries
the death penalty. while mis- brother
may receive a sentence of twenty
years to life Imprisonment. 1t was
expected that sentence would be
passed yesterday, and that Roy would
be a party of prisoners booked to de-
part from this city tomorrow after
noon for the federal prison at Leaven-
worth, Kan, but postponement of SEN
tence resulted in their being returned
to the District Jail.

also be delivered from time to time on
subjects Connected with the affiliated
arts. The lectures will be given in
the exhibition gallery of the center,
which may also be used for chamber
musical recitals and the production Of
plays.
The entire building is dedicated to
the allied arts and follows the plan
of the New York Art Center, which
has been so successful. 1t is a clear
ing house of art activities. Much
credit is given to Mrs. William Hitz
in making the building at Connecti-
cut avenue and l. street. belonging to
Judge Hitz. the nucleus Of an allied
arts movement here and the center of
it's activities. In this work she has
received the support of many Wash
