HORRORS! TAFT DANCES
AT2 SUNDAY MORNING
Orders Train Held After Midnight at
Atlanta to Waltz With George
Capital Bellies.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 1S.-"He danced
all night till broad daylight and he
didn't go home till morning is what
the society folks of Atlanta are saying
of President-elect Taft.
They are telling nearly the literal
truth, for at O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, Mr.. Taft was waltzing in the
Capital City clubroom with Mrs Rob
ert Maddox, wife of Atlanta's mayor.
Mr.. Taft's train was due to. leave at
midnight for Augusta, but at that hour
he requested that the train be held so
that he might enjoy few more
waltzes
Another Atlanta woman with whom
Mr.. Taft danced was Mrs w. S. Elkin.
wife of the president of the Capital
City club.
Despite his 300 pounds, President
elect Taft's lightness on his feet was
a surprise to all. The women are elo.
quent in their praise of his skill as a
dancer.

PATRIOTISM TEACHING PLAN.
National Red Gross Arransss Special
Sunday School Membership Scheme.


Sunday School Membership Scheme.
A movement which is likely to have
farreaching results in the teaching of
patriotism in the Sunday school has re-
Gently been launched through publica-
tons of the Congregational, Methodist,
Presbyterian, Lutheran, Universalist
and other denominations. Through
the efforts of Charles A. Brand, editor
of the Pilgrim Teacher Of Boston.
the American National Red Cross has
made u special membership arrange
ment for the benefit of all scholars
in the Sunday school. The member
ship fee has heretofore been 81 Il year,
which put it out OF the reach of most
of the members of the Sunday schools,
and yet the children are the very ones
who should be learning to take an in
tcrest in this great Humanitarian and
patriotic work. BY the new arrange
ment the American National Red
Cross will enroll Sunday school classes
as classes on the payment of 81, and
the Red Cross membership button and
the publications of the Red Cross will
be sent to the president or secretary
of the class or the persons designated
to take charge of them for the class.

CHURCH IN OFFICE BUILDING.
Pittsburg Congregation Will Build
Unique Edifice to Avoid Restriction.

Pittsburg Congregation Will Build
The trustees of the First United
Evangelical Protestant German church
Of Pittsburg have made public plans
of the front elevation of what prom
ises to be one of the most remarkable
church buildings in the world. 1t is q
fourteen story office building and
church combined, the church being in
the middle, with offices rising all
around it. 1t appears that many years
ago this plot of ground was given for
church purposes, the restriction being
that it must always and ever be used
for church purposes"
Several churches have come and
gone on this most valuable plot at
Sixth avenue and Smithfield street. in
the heart of the downtown district.
while skyscrapers have gone up all
around it. The congregation cannot
sell and rebuild in the suburbs. as 1t
would like to and could do at great
profit, so the happy thought was evolv-
ed that an Office building and church
could be combined.
The front elevation shows front
age on Smithfield street. with 4 cathe-
dral style church front in the center.
The church effect rises with the build.
ing for about seven stories, then per-
mits the Office part to continue sky
ward. There is to be great chime OF
bells in the church, and the whole edi-
fee will cost not less than $1,000, 900.
