HOUSE
HUNTING
By LAURA R. TURNLEE

MacElligott returned from his vaca-
ton. and when he entered his bachelor
homes single room, which was all he
needed-it seemed lonelier to him than
ever. In a country hotel with women
and children about him he had had an
advantage. None of them belonged to
him, but neither he nor they had any
thing to do all day long, and he could
zee as much of them as he liked. But
now he was back again to the same
Oscillation.

Gulfport. Missl, Dec 90 - President
Wilson surprised the congregation of
the First Presbyterian church of Gulf
port by dropping in for the morning
service Just moment before the little
melodion struck up the voluntary.
When the president and party,
which included only the President and
Mrs. Wilson andj-Dr. Cary T. Grayson,
arrived there WAS scant score and
q half of worshippers assembled in the
tiny edifice. But Athere are many tele-
phones in the i'm diate neighborhood
and before the sd g6nd Psalm had been
reached every seat was filed and
there were more persons enrOute.
There was, however, tragedy In
the affair. Down. in the little hamlet
of Pass Christian, nine miles away,
there was a similar place of worship,
damned to thel doors. There was<a
young minister pf the gospel, who had
devoted many $leepless hours to pre-
pairing the supreme effort of his life,
a sermon whit would live forever,
who stood there waiting, waiting for
minutes, until finally broken hearted
he had to begin his sermon to the
regular members of his flock and to
one pew in which every seat was
empty.
From Miles around prominent Mis-
sissippians had driven or motored to
Pass Christian to see the first presi
dent that hadl ever journeyed to the
Riviera of America, and all were dis
appointed. Latter it was explained that
the president'$ real reason was the
desire on the bart of his guardians to
keep him outs OF crowds and insist
that the advance promises that his
privacy would be respected were OBJ
served.
The sermon which Mr.. Wilson lis
tened to was) from the lips of Rev.
HERBERT Albert Jones, noted eyaugel-
list, more than seventy-f1ve years Of
age, who since his retirement from
active platform preaching has filed
numerous p4lpits in quiet communi-
ties where the Presbyterian cult was
struggling foF foothold.
After leaving the church the presi-
dent and his( party motored along the
gulf coast toward Biloxi for a little
air. Enroutef his motor car passed
little group of four veterans of the
'lost cause,"J CARRIED in their uniforms
of gray. AS they passed the old men,
who had stopped ankle deep in the
mud alonfsi(de of the shell road, the
president, taking off his white fedora,
bowed and skaid: Good afternoon, gen.
tlemen."
There wast a courteous response, but
not one of 4he four realized who had
greeted them until informed by the
newspaper Enen in the car following.
-Lare nj -tA AFTERNOON the president
and DIR. Grayson went for a walk
through the streets of Pass Christian.
A seven-year-old girl stopped them
near the lower end of the town and
gave the president bouquet of flow
ers she had picked herself, with the
wish that he have many happy re-
turns of the day."
The president shook her hand warm
lly and smiled smile that was far
more human than had been observed
from his lips in many days. Returning
home the president and his naval aide
were caught in the rain and were verv
wet when they reached the winter
White House.

women FAINT WHEN
XMAS TREE BURNS
ChurchServices Broken UpWhan
Pastor Notices Flames.

Philadelphia, Dec. 29.-Fire caused
by crossed wires Illuminating huge
Christmas tree standing in the nave
of the Protestant Episcopal Church
of the Advent, Forty-seventh street
and Springfield avenue, broke up the
services in the church while Rev.
Charles w. Shriener was preaching,
caused several women to faint and
nearly caused panic.
The flames were extinguished by
members of the congregation before
the arrival of the firemen, who re-
sponded to two alarms, one turned In
by member of the congregation and
another by passerby.
The accident occurred while the
pastor was in the midst of his sermon.
The church was crowded when Rev.
DR.. Shreiner from his position In the
pulpit saw flames squirting from the
top of the big Christmas tree at the
far end Of the nave.
without altering the tones Of his
voice he told the congregation that
the tree was on fire and asked some
one to turn in an alarm, stating at
the same time that there was no dan.
ger If all would remain quietly In their
yeats.
HE announcement and the help OF
Ter of men sitting near the ex-
its averted a panic, although number
of women who were nearest the blaz.
ing tree ran to the front of the church
and several tainted.
Other members of the congregation
ran into the vestry and unrolled the
fire hose there, bringing it into the
nave and turning the stream on the
tree. Several men, arming themselves
with extinguishers, risked severe
burns by rushing almost under the big
treel which by this time was pillar
of fire, and turning the, chemical
streams into. the heart OF the blaze.
When the ,fremen arrived the tree was
reduced to a smoking mass and the
damage to the church was slight.

SANTA Re SAVES PAPER
Tons of Waste From Topeka General
offices Sold Each Year.

Waste paper from the general offices
in Topeka has something to do with
the dividends of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad. Would you be-
lieve it? Waste paper Tipped into
wicker waste baskets amounts to a
ton each day or a carload a month,
and saves the big railway thousands
of dollars a year. Pounds of old rec
ords become obsolete and are added
to the waste. Large paper houses pur-
chase it, convert it into new sheets,
and pay we'll for it.
Sawdust and shaVings, nails ana
small pieces of steel are saved and sold.
Nothing is wasted. Cotton waste is
not ruthlessly burned, but used to
start fires in locomotives. Shavings
are used for packing ice
Who would think of saving a lead
pencil? The Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific railroad recently sent a cir
cular to all it's employees, asking each
tC use an additional inch of lead before
dropping his pencil in the basket. This
will mean a saving to the company,
the letter stated, "of $4,000 a year.
The Santa Fe has its general scrap
yards at Corwith, ILL.," said Henry
Lautz, assistant to the general mana
ger in Topeka. Broken rails. switch
frogs, spikes, bolts, nuts are gathered
by each section foreman. sorted by
specially trained men. and either util-
lied or sold. The accumulation of iron
and steel scrap is at least yv,vvs tons
year. A carload of sawdust is saved
each day in the Topeka shops. That's
no mean item in the monthly fuel bill.
