FIRE GOES TO ENGINE
HOUSE TO BE PUT OUT

Observation-Disclosures fremen re-
Gently were asked tc fight one of the
most novel fires in the history of the
local department. And they did not
have to go after this fire: it went to
them.
A ~trainload of merchandise on the
baltimore & Ohio railroad was set on
ilre by sparks from a passing locomo-
tive. The cut of cars was standing on
a siding.
Immediately a call was made to the
roundhouse for an engine. When it ar
rived h cars seemed doomed. There
was no possible chance of getting a line
of hose to the fire.
The engineer and fireman of the To-
connective studied the situation a few
moments and hen made a hurried half
mile run to the nearest fire house,
where they got the aid of the fire com
pany n extinguished the flames.

KING HAAKoN, OF NORWAY.

.aIace, and have often expressed the
wish that thy might i've In England
permanently.
Again, being king of Norway is not
a mans job. The duties of the king
are SO few in that country that one
might attend to them as a sort of side
line, giving his principal attention to
some other avocation. The only power
the king has nov is to confer decora-
tons and this is soon to be taken away
from Haakon.
The people of Norway complain that
King Haakon and his wife are luxuries
too expensive for a country like theirs.
Haakon's clothing bill alone totals ST.
$50 per year. The other bills of his
which they must pay reach large pro-
portions, and strangely enough the king
does his trading in England rather than
in Norway.
King Haakon and Queen Maude have
been spending the holidays in England.
When they return to Norway soon the
crisis may come. but they will shed no
tears even If asked to quit the throne.
They will come to England, where they
think as private citizens life would
hold much in store for them.

Paris, Dec. 30.-The definite an
nouncement that Premier P%oincare will
be a candidate for the presidency of
the republic has caused a profound
impression throughout France. The
newspapers of practically all shades OF
political opinion. without committing
themselves for or against M. Poincare's
election. felicitate the premier for
frankly placing himself on record as an
aspirant for the office of chief execu-
tive. They express the opinion that
the attitude of M. Poincare shows to
