a Gipantic sunday school.

From the Womans Home Companion.
On a high hill, in the midst Of the
most thickly populated portion of the
city of Stockport, England, stands an
immense four-story brick building, at
once the pride of the town and the
Mecca of Sunday school pilgrims from
every quarter Of the globe. This is the
WoTlG-renOWned Stockport Sunday
school, famous alike for its gigantic size
and its remarkable history extending
over a period of 116 years. With a pres
ent enrolment Of over 5000 and a total
record of s 0S5 teachers and los. 800 schoI-
airs trained within its walls, its achieve
ments are without a parallel in the an
mails of Sunday school effort
Members Of the school are now wide
" scattered in all parts of the world and
Of them have crossed the Atlantic to
make America their home. The most
notable of the old pupils residing in
this country is Mr.. Thomas W. Wealth
cred, a retired merchant of New York
city, whose devotion to the school is
SO great that for thirty-one consecutive
summers he has crossed the ocean to
take part in the anniversary of the lay
ing Of its corner stone.
This famous institution dates back to
1874, four Eears after Robert Railzes be
gan his notable experiment in Sooty,
alley 1t was originally established for
the children OF the laboring poor, whose
condition was at that time pitiful in the
extreme. In the early days teachers
were employed at the rate OF one shil-
ling and sixpence a. Sunday. and there
were two sessions from o'clock in the
morning to II, and from 1 o'clock to the
hour of afternoon worship, when the pu-
pills were conducted to either church or
chapel. returning again to the school IN

not only Bible study, but reading, writ

Then the baby began calling for his
luncheon, and Mrs. LaslSy became firmly
convinced that q was wide awake.
She examined the baby and found that
he was dressed in comfortable clothing
of good quality, Wrapped in his dress
was a nursery bottle and ten-dollar
bill. Mrs. LaslSy notified the police of
her strange adventure. She says she
will keep the baby for the time being.
When a reporter called at Mrs. Lasky's
home today he found her nursing the
baby. It's a pretty blue-eyed boy, ap-
parently about months old, and is evil
IDENTIFY not afflicted with any impedi-
ment in it's lung powers
Doesn't it seem strange" said Mrs.
Lasky, with a good-natured smile. that
a baby should come to an old woman
like me whose husband has been dead
these 10 long years. Then, just think of
it, too, my daughter, who has been i'll
in a hospital, Will be here with a new
baby tomorrow. She'll find that I've
got a baby. too. Won't that be fun. I'll
keep the baby for few weeks anyhow.
Maybe I'll keep him altogether. He's
nice little fellow. l don't see how any
one could be heartless enough to desert
him.
Mrs. Lasky, like her neighbors, is
hard working woman. In order TO keep
the dwarf she viii have to toll longer
and harder each day.

CARRIED OFF THE BABY.

GF'rorn the Philadelphia Bulletin.l
MISUNDERSTANDING, middle-aged women
with fondness for admiring babies in
the hands of strange young women will
find in Mrs. Elizabeth Lasly, of the
rear of 1923 Orianna street, an example
OF what the habit may lead to.
Mrs. Lasky is a gray-haired kindly
faced woman. She was a passenger in a
Glrard avenue car yesterday. In the seat
opposite sat well-dressed young wo-
man with a babe in her arms The little
thlng became restless after a time and
MRS: Lasky, who had reared several
DaoleS OF her own, went over and sat
next to the woman with the baby Mrs
Iasky snapped her fingers in front of
tne youngsters face. ticlSled it under
the chin and said Cool goor' The baby
crowed and stretched out its chubby
fists to her.
Now, aceordingg to the ethics of foot
ball, 1t was the young woman's turn to
try for a goal. She was not slow in
Seizing the opportunity.
Wont you hold the baby a moment
Tor me, piease?' she asked, at the same
time pushing the child into Mrs. Lasky's
outstretched arms. Mrs. Lasky readily
acquiesced. She was so taken up with
the child that she forgot all about the
young woman. She said Cool goor' to
1t innumerable times, and it articuIated
''goo" back to her and smiled as only a
baby can smile.
Mrs. Lasky wanted to get off the car
at Nineteenth street and as Eighteenth
membered that the baby did not belong
to her, and looked around for the young
woman In the meantime that indi-
vidual had seen an opportunity to break
through the center, and was making the
most of her chance With a wild rush
she jumped from the car and hurried
away. The suddenness of it all left Mrs
LaslOy speeches.. The car stopped and
went on again several blocks before Mrs.
Lasl1y could speak. Then she timidly
approached the conductor and offered
= f171 he'll, 40,
listened to her patiently, but declined to
take the baby off her hands.
I'D take it, lady, in a minute,if they'd
let me hand it to the lost and found
department at the depot, but they
WON'T" he said.
Still dazed Mrs. Laslzy got off the car
with the child
She had not recovered fully an hour
or so later, when she got back to her
home. Several times she had to pinch
herself to find out if she was awake.
