A HORSEBACK RIDE
Which Did Not Prove a Good Thing
 for the Health.

Bessie, the en-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. James Gray, took q horse back ride yesterday morning which did not have very beneficial effect on her health, notwithstanding such exercise is recommended frequently as q hy- gienic measure.
 Miss Bessie and Miss Elsie Elliott. d neighbor girl arose early, presumably with the lark, if there are any larks in the Capitol addition, determined to have a constitutional jaunt before their parents had put the final touches on their night of slumber. The girls there fore had to saddle their own horses, and Bessie failed to get the cinch as tight as stronger person might have done. They rode down the Yuma road, and returning, while the horse was on q trot, her saddle turned and she hit the ground like heavy weight. There was nothing strange about that, though. for she weighs 112 pounds, and is considered d heavy weight for d ten ycar-old.

History of the Largest Protestant Church in the United States

LuIdreds, scores of whom had Travelled miles
to hear the lawyer-preacher, for his fame
Lad spread.
Gradually the idea began to dawn upon
the lawyer that he ought to give up law
and preach the gospel for the rest Of his
life. And so he told the increasing congre-
cation he had been leading temporarily, and
for three years he labored in Lexington,
after which he went to Philadelphia, where
he has built up the Baptist Temple, the
largest Protestant church in America.
The Temples present membership is 2,72S
and its congregations twice each Sunday in
the year, excepting In the summer months,
average over 5000, with many clamoring in
vain for entrance,
Its Sunday school has a membership Of
nearly 1000, its fourteen Christian Endeavor
societies have 5000 names on their rolls and
the aggregate membership of the dozen
other minor societies is close on 900. 1t has
1000 members actively interested in mis-
sionary work. 1t supports a half dozen for
eign missionaries and II has given half a
hundred ministers to the Baptist church.
1t supports three city missions, located in
the slums. besides a Chinese mission, and
1t has been the parent of three prosperous
Baptist churches which were once Temple
missions-the Tioga church, with a mem
bership of 1000; the Philmont, with a mem
bership Of 600, and the Logan, which has
about 400 communicates.
1t is the most earnest and largest con
tributor to the Baptist Home for Old
Ladies' and the Baptist Orphanage. The
Sunday Breakfast association. a unique
Philadelphia organization. which feeds
thousands Of poor every year. the Life Line
league and the Point Breeze Mission, whose
object is to look after sailors, and the
Open Door Mission, for the aid OF fallen
women-each a large charity in itself
are largely supported by Temple funds and
workers.
The Temple has a chorus Of 200 voices
for ten months In the year. II gives an
annual fair, preparations for which are
begun months In advance, and which is at
tended by at least 10000 persons.
On an average. twenty-five religious meet
ings Of various kinds are held in the Temple
weekly. This does not include meetings
OF trustees and business meetings of the
various societies. There's something going
on in the Temple all the time" It Is a

itself-have resulted from 81 cents. This
Is the story:
When DR.. Conwell was called to Grace
Baptist church, two squares from the site
of the present Temple, he found a church
covered with mortgages and sheriff's eXecu-
tions. Only the basement had been built
and rooted over. In one way or another
he managed to quiet the creditors, and then
started to build up the church. AS the
congregation increased funds multiplied,
the walls were raised and the church fin
ished as it stands today. Soon the COM
pleted church became too small, but there
was no money in sight for a larger struc.
ture and no one-not even DIR. Conwell-
had given a new and larger church any
serious consideration.
One Sunday as Mr.. Conwell was making
his way through the crowd surrounding the
church and endeavoring to get into the
Sunday school he was attracted to a mite
Of a girl trying with all her energy~to
make her way through the crowd to the
basement door. Mr.. Conwell placed her on
his shoulders, carried her into the church
and put her on a window sill, for there
was not a vacant seat, and said:
Never mind, Hattie, some day Wen have
a church big enough to hold everybody who
wants to get in"
Not long afterward the child sickened
and died. Then her parents sought out DR..
Conwell. Before she died, Hattie asked
us to give you this they said, handing
him a child's purse. "She said she had
collected it among her friends for the
church you spoke about to heroine large
enough to hold everybody who wants to
get n"
The little pocketbook held 81 cents.
On the next Sunday DR.. Conwell told the
story of Hattie Watt and her 81 cents.
He did not appeal for funds; only told the
simple story. But that was enough, money
was Forthcoming at once. One man gave
$57, another $3.50, a third 1907. a fourth
$517, another IS, 200. and then thousands Of
dollars poured in from all parts of the coun-
try. This money secured the lot on which
the Temple now stands. Today the So cents.

"Then - where are you going to get
the money!" queried the astonished Lex
ingtonian.
Don't know" said the lawyer.
"You-don't know!" The passerby whis-
tied. Then he walked up to where Conwell
was standing. 81 really believe you're in
earnest" he said as he looked the lawyer
in the eye. II know you are. and, blast me.
I'll subscribe 500 and you can collect
whenever you want to-"
The man walked away. Conwell began
again. The noise awakened the late sleep
ing liveryman across the way. He stuck
his head out OF a window. The CONVERSE
tion Of a few minutes before was prac-
tically repeated. Then, quoth the livery
man., after hearing that the man Prosser
had pledged 800:
Say, you'll never get a hundred from
cid man Prosser. Why. he's the-say. you
In earnest, Conwell?"
'In dead earnest" n once more the
pick was driven home.
The llveryman called again: "say, you
think you'll get the hundred from Prosser?
on It: II you get Prosser's one hundred
I'll give you two hundred, or I'm not a
liveryman and an honest man."
AS the llveryman's tousled head receded
a young woman walked by, and for the
third time the lawyer made the same an
swers to the same questions. When the
young woman heard OF Prosser's and the
ilveryman's subscriptions she became ex-
cited.
'Prosser promised a hundred and the
liveryman two hundred? Well. Just wait
TIN l run home and see mammal" Half an
hour later mamma sent round a check for
$1,000.
In this way $500 was raised from
passersby the first day.
Lawye Turns Preacher.
In a few months a new church had been
erected on the site Of the old one and about
81 OcO had been collected, not one cent Of
which had been solicited.
In the meantime the lawyer felt II his
duty 70 tell the grateful Baptists tibet he
would preach for them until the new church
was completed. when they could get a pas
tor. The hrst Sunday twenty-seven persons
heard the sermon. The next Sunday the old
church was filled; the third hundreds en-
deavored in vain to gain admission. Every
Sunday thereafter there were disappointed

sons may sometimes be found enjoying

Unique Church Annex.
Then there is the Temple college, a unique
church annex, which Temple church money
has largely supported. Since its inception
in 1884 the college has taught 1924 stu
dents, the total for 1901 being 4,2Ss, while
during the same year over 5000 attended
the lectures. There are sixty officers and
instructors and thirty-nine courses OF
study, many of which are on a par with
similar courses in the noted universities
of the land.
When the college started it's sessions
were held in the basement Of the Temples
predecessor, the Grace church building.
Now the school occupies a building which
cost 800, 900 standing next the church, and
its equipment is worth $50, 900. 1t has been
comforting college degrees since 1892.
Another big institution that is dependent
upon the Temple for its existence is
Samaritan hospital. 1t opened in 1893 with
Ave patients, one doctor and one nurse.
1t occupied a private dwelling, Today it
occupies and own not only the house where
it started, but the adjoining one. and is
erecting at a cost of $35 900 an administra-
tion and a private ward building. During
June Of this year it received 122 cases
and at the dispensary 313 persons, who
made 1882 visits. TIL staff now consists
of ten physicians, three resident physicians
and sixteen nurses. The Temple congre-
cation has raised $780, 900 for the hospitals
support. The state, recognizing the good
work of the institution, last year appro-
priSted $45, 900 toward it's maintenance.
For the support Of all these various
charitable and religious enterprises DR..
Conwell and his congregation, in almost
twenty years of their joint labors, ha e
raised nearly $500, 900. The greater portion
Of this money has come in voluntarily,
without the least solicitation.
But the Temple members and their in
defatigable pastor still have large plans in
hand. They are striving to increase the
facilities Of college, hospital, orphanage
and home. In short, though the Temple is
now the largest Protestant church in
America, by its well tried methods of ever
lastingly keeping at 1t, personal contact
with the outside world and the exercise Of
common sense, it means to grow still
larger.

V~1HlS IL the Story OF the rise OF the
largest Protestant church In the
- United States, so far as numbers
90. This church. THE Baptist
- Temple" OF Philadelphia, Is
unique In other ways besides large mem
bership.
II was in 1879 that the little Baptist
church in historic Lexington fell on
troublous times. It's once large member
ship had dwindled to seven persons. They
could not raise the money to pay salary to
a pastor and finally they found It impos-
slble even to pay for an occasional Sup
ply" SO the church was closed. The build
Ing began to fall into decay and II seemed
that Baptists were to be known no more in
Lexington.
But there was one young woman among
the membership who had faith that the
church might be revived. Among her ac-
qualntances was a Boston lawyer named
Conwell, His callings had been multi
~farioua. He had been a soldier for the
union In the civil war, a newspaper re-
porter. a publisher in a western city. was
a correspondent In Paris during the Franco
PrussIan war and had made and lost two
or three moderate fortunes. At middle
age he was In a fair way to build up an
other, but when the story Of the Lexington
Baptist church was told to him by this
young woman he decided to give II first
attention. for the time being at least.
"Ill go to Lexington with YOU" he told
her, ''call a meeting OF the survivors and
get them 10 agree to take the necessary
legal steps for the sale OF the property,
Then we'll see what's best to do next"
And so the lawyer went to Lexington.
He called the meeting. addressed the seven
Baptists and advised them to sell. Thereat
a storm OF protest ragged about his head.
'Sell our church home OF a lifetime %
they Indignantly burst forth. "Neveri"
Then get a preacher and open the church
II you won't SELL was the answer.
but we haven't the money. . they sorrow
fully responded.
The lawyer went TO his hotel and spent
the night . thinking over the situation.
When the morning came he got a pick
axe, a hammer and a saw and went to the
church. He hung his coat on a fence post
then with pick started TO tear down the
front steps. He had barely begun when q
passerby named Prosser called over the
fence:

D~FCEPTIoNS IN CIGARS.
Extremely High-Priced Ones Are Not
All That They Are Repre-
scented to be.

One reads from time to time of the
fabulous sums paid for cigars. A IA
vorite story is that Mr.. Chamberlain
never touches anything cheaper than
a fve-shilling cigar, and that every
time Lord Rothschild smokes ten
shillings vanish into the ambient air.
According to Mr.. Weingott, the WELL
known tobacco merchant, all such sto-
ries are the purest invention. AS far
as mere quality of tobacco goes, the
best cigar in the world can be pur-
chased for one shilling sixpence, and
anyone who gives more than this sum
is paying for size, peculiar shape or
for some peculiar brand which is only
valuable for its rarity and not for its
excellence, says London Taller.
Those torpedo-like cigars which one
sees in t~obacconists' windows incased
in glass sheaths are mainly traps to
catch the unwary. The most remark.
able thing about them Is their size
and their startling variation in price,
according to the locality in which they
are sold. In the West end they are
priced at anything between Ell / shil-
ling and Is shillings; in the less gilded
precincts they are sold for z shillings
6 pence apiece.

AN TRIP.
wonderful Nerve and Endurance of
an Iowa Boy Carried on by
q Balloon,

Carlton Fl. Myers, of West Liberty.
Ia, a boy IL years old, displayed
most wonderful nerve and presence
OF mind in a balloon ascension.
where even a nan of experience
might have been expected to lose
courage. An Iowa paper gives the
story:
"The balloon was almost inflated
with hot air when the anchor-ropes
gave way and it started upward sud
denly with a rush. The spectators
were Mortified to see a boy hanging
head downward from the ropes. The
little fellow, boy-like, had ap-
preached too near the preparations.
and his foot became entangled in one
OF the ropes. The aeronaut called
out: "Straighten up, boy, but hold
on for all you are worth"
1.-THE plucky lad obeyed, reached
up above his foot, and, catching hold
of the rope, quickly righted himself.
climbed up about eight feet and then
threw his arm through several ropes
that came together just under the bal
loon; he was a number of feet above
the parachute, but so close to the out
let in the airship that the escaping
hot air and gas almost caused him to
faint. He made the entire trip, about
three miles, hanging by one arm.
"The height which the balloon
reached is estimated to have been
about one mile, . distance Of 500 feet
higher than the aeronaut intended to
go. They came down in q cornfield
and thus escaped injury"
