Church Last Night.
The fact that Saturday night keeps
many people on the streets transactihg
business until a late hour did not ma
terially affect the attendance last night
at st. Pauls mission services.
The sermon and instructions, con-
Quoted by Rev. Fathers Huntington and
Hughson. were we'll attended, and the
interest and attention of all was kept
from the opening until the closing
hour.
Sin was the subject underlying the
sermon, and the instructions, and fol-
lowing the discourses of the earlier
part of the week, the methods by
which mankind can be saved from the
effects of its sins were brought out.
The sermon, which was preached by
Rev. Father Hughson, treated the sub
iect in a manner that prepared the
minds Of the congregation for the IN
structions that followed. Briefness,
conciseness and force characterized the
discourse.
The instructions, conducted by Rev.
Father Huntington, followed. In his
customary manner following the ques-
tion and answer method, Father Hunt
ington built the lesson Of the forgive
ness of sins and the method that had
been placed within the reach of all by
God, the Father. The sacrifice of
His Son for the sins of the world
was wildly portrayed. and the instruc-
tions closed with an earnest appeal
for all to avail themselves Of the PLAN
The day services yesterday were al
so well attended. There were many
at the early celebrations of the eu-
charist and the instructions on the
holy communion at 10 o'clock we're list
ened to by a large congregation. The
same interest was shown In the chill
dren's service at o'clock. the clergy
having no difficulty whatever in hold
ing the attention Of the little once and
arouslng their interest In the subjects
brought before them.
The hours for the services to-day are
announced elsewhere In the Morning
News.

The illumination of Christmas trees
with candles is a matter which should
engage the attention of everyone at
this time.
These trees are usually Of pine tops,
or of pine saplings full of rosin and
highly infiammable when few days
old.
The greatest care should be exercised
by parents in the work of lighting such
trees. Children cannot be expected
to appreciate the danger attending
these decorations. and therefore, par
ents should never leave the room in
which Christmas trees are Illuminated.
Buckets of water. or some sort Oh
an extinguisher. should be kept con-
veniently near the trees. To those who
can afford 1t, I would suggest the use
of miniature incandescent lights, which
having all the value of candles for tree
illumination, are vastly and incom-
parably safer.
II a connection cannot be made with
the lighting system, or IL there Is no
electric lights in the house, the tenn
porary use of a storage battery couid
be had at a cost more than offset by

WHERE LOST KNIVES GO
Is A MYSTERY.
Dealer Who Can't Understand What
Happens to Them.


Happens to Them.
Funny where all the pocket knives
go speculated a Broughton street
merchant yesterday. We sell hun
dreds annually and still the demand
keeps up"
You know knives are constructed
of the best material, even a cheap
knife is made of material good enough
TO last lifetime. 1t is a certainty
that few knives are worn out. There
fore, we who sell them have conclud-
ed they are lost.
"One man is a frequent purchaser of
knives in this store. He has repeated
~ told US it is simply impossible for
MIN to keep knife any great length
OF time. In this particular he is one
OF vast army. People take the
loss of their pocket knives so differ
emily, too. We have another custom
er, who is certain he is the victim of
band of pickpockets, who make their
living by selling the knives taken from
him. He does buy sufficient quani-
ty to warrant the belief in a meas
ure.'
Il have just another word to add
while the subject is up and that is
we do not see where the knives go
when lost, so many are sold. If they
pass into other hands than their
rightful owners it certainly would 'af-
feet the demand which is increasing
rather than diminishing"

GREAT DANGER OF FIRE
FROM CHRISTMAS TREES
Fire Chief Mcguire Makes Some Timely Sus-
geStionS.
BY FIRE CHIEF JOHN E. MAGUlRE.

safety to life and property. If the tree
is electrically lighted 1t may be kept
lighted as long as is desired, and the
pleasure which it's illumination imparts
is prolonged far beyond the life of the
wax candles.
In public halls. Sunday-school rooms
and the like, where Christmas trees are
a part of entertainments, no candles
should be permitted. If these enter
tainments can be gotten up by popu-
lar subscriptions the promoters or man
ayers can raise few more dollars to
secure electric lights in lieu of wax
candles, which. are so dangerous to the
little ones.
Year after year, following the Christ
mas holidays. the newspapers contain
heartrending stories Of little children
burned to death, or horribly dishgured
as the result of accidents at Christmas
tree festivals and occasionally we
hear of disastrous fires resulting from
the same source.
| think City Council would be justi-
fed in passing a law prohibiting the
lighting of Christmas trees with naked
fame lights in any public hall, insti-
tuition, Sunday-school or church.
In private houses this is matter
for the parents to regulate, and upon
their common sense and control OF
their children depends their safety.

CHRISTMAS IN THE
KINDERGARTENS.

The Programmes of Exercises for
the Coming Week.
Nowhere is the influence Of Christ
mas felt more strongly than in the
kindergartens. Pictures, songs.
rhymes and games all reflect the story
of the season of giving. The climax to
all the happiness will. OF course, be
the joy-bringing tree.
The Kate Baldwin Free Kindergar-
ten Association will have no union tree
this year, but the West Side and South
Side lSindergartens will join festivities
at the latter at Thirty-frst and Mont
gomery streets. The East Side will
hold forth at it's own home at Con-
gress and Habersham streets; Trinity
gaieties will take place at Trinity
Church: and the Chatham group Will
be at home at Chatham kindergarten,
No. 511 East Jones street.
The following invitation is from each
of the Kate Baldwin Free Kindergar-
tens:
"A merry Christmas TO our friends,
To all who hold us dear;
We ask you each with gladstone heart
To share our Christmas cheer.
On Thursday morn. the 22nd.,
Nineteen hundred four,

Come, join us at our door.
We hope you'll leave your baking PIES

WHAT no YOU CARE?
YOU'VE GOT YOUR HEALTH.
Great Natures DO Not Desptir at Dis
appointInent-Tbey Look for
Something Else TO Do.

SOn1etnluS Else 10 DO.
The broad gagged man of to-day
does not get blue just because things
don't always come his way unless
there is something the matter with
him. If he falls down. on one prop
ostion he Immediately starts to look
up another. He always looks forward
and keeps on hustling. A man with his
health and faculties has plenty Of OPP
portunities and the man who gives up
or even feel like 1t has either a small
nature or some physical weakness.
Dyspepsia certainly puts the best of
men out of condition for work Of any
kind. You cannot blame the dyspep-
tic for getting blue. The very nature
of his disease is most depressing and
calculated to deprive him Of ambition,
energy and hope. There is hope for
him, however. certain and sure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are rec
ognized throughout the length and
breadth of the land as the one cure
that's safe and sure. Their unbound
ed notwithstanding from the
thousands and thousands of cures they
have effected, prove beyond the shad-
ow of doubt their greatness as a
cure. Wherein lies their greatness? In
the very fact that they are Nature's
own simple remedy. They do the ex-
act work in exactly the same way that
the digestive fluids of the stomach do
because they are composed of exactly
the same elements and possess the
same properties. They relieve the
weak and worn out stomach of its
burden OF digestion and permit it
without let or hindrance to rest and
grow sound and we'll. The stomach
will get well quick enough in its own
natural way IL IL is let alone. That is
what Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do.
They not only let 1t alone themselves
but make the food taken into the
stomach do the same.
You can satisfy yourself OF the
truth of this statement by putting the
food you would eat into glass jar
with sufficient water and one OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. The pro-
cess OF digestion will be taken up and
carried out just as the gastric juice
and other digestive fluids would do II.
Their action is natural and they cause
no disturbance in the digestive organs.
In fact you forget you have stomach
when they begin to do their work, so
mild and natural Is the operation.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are FOR sale
by all druggists at soc. box.

in Savannah is ordinarily reached in

All Hours Are Busy Ones.
The problem of handling the calls in
telephone exchange is one that re-
quires great thought and planning. 1t
is hard and fast policy of telephone
management that calls shall be an
swered with the same dispatch, wheth-
er they are coming thick and fast
during the busy hours or whether they
are flowing more slowly through the
exchange. If the telephone companies
could let their patrons wait and take
their turn in talking over the wire
during these rush hours ii would mean
a saving of many thousand of dollars.
But that, of course. is not the Ameri-
can practice, and thousands are spent
to make the service as efficient in the
business hours of the year as 1t is
when the calls are few and far be-
tween.
The Days Busiest Hour.
The daily routine of business regu-
lates the work in telephone exchange.
Our busiest hour" said Assistant
Manager Kenyon of the Georgia Tele-
phone Company yesterday, is between
10 and Ii O'Clock in the morning. Dur
ing that hour the average number OF
calls in the busy season is about $500.
and some times more than that. The
dullest hour is between 2 and o'clock
in the morning, when the average
number Of calls rarely exceeds forty or
fifty. The business Of the day begins
about s o'clock. In that hour the calls
jump from fifty and seventy-fve TO
200 and $50. In the next hour they are
6 q ofrlnCE thew
increase from 500 and 600 to l,700 and
1,s00 and from 10 until ? o'clock they
run from 1000 to $500 an hour. At 2
o'clock there Is a lull during the dinner
hours when the calls drop down to
1900 or 1000 At 4 o'clock they pick up
again and the maximum Of the after
noon Is reached usually between 4 and
o'clock. After that there is a drop
ping of up TO midnight. Between IL
o'clock AT night and 1 o'clock I'm the
morning there are an average OF 800
TO 400 calls.
People Who Used the Phone Most.
II Is n matter Of interest TO know
who are the principal users OF the tel
ephone. The railroads, steamship
lines and Express Company come first,
The large retail stores next, then the

BUSIEST HOUR
CHRISTMAS EVE OR MORNING
EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE "ON THE

The busiest Hour of the Year in a
Telephone Exchange-When the
Business World Gets Up and When
it Goes to Sleep Told by the Chart

The Busiest Hour of the Day in
Savannah Between 10 and IL
O'clock in the Morning.
With the coming of the holiday sea-
son there comes the time when the
army of the telephone operators pre-
pares for the hardest work of the year,
for during December it seems as if
everybody were ''on the Wire" Prob
ably the busiest of the $3.50 hours of
the year in the telephone exchanges
will come next Saturday, which is
Christmas Eve, though the records
show that between 10 and IL o'clock
Christmas morning has heretofore
been the great rush hour.
Next Saturday being the Saturday
before Christmas and Christmas Eve
as well, is tantamount to saying that
that is the busiest time of the year
In the business world.
Everybody ON the Wire.
Everybody during the holiday
season seems to be calling up every
body else with the result that the
operators look forward eagerly to the
lull which comes in every exchange
Immediately after the period of con-
gratulations is over, for few days
until the after-holiday business begins
again. Then there is a steady run of
hard work for the hello operators until
March After that there comes a drop
and the average number of calls de-
creases until in July and August they
are scarcely more than one-third or
one fourth of those in the hight of
the winter season. The lowest point
