THE SOLDIERS PUSHED.
And thus Got the Santa Fe Train to
the Scene Of the Indian Fight.

Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. 16.-United
States soldiers once pushed Santa
Fe train over the hills in New Mexico
to get to an Indian fight. Avery
Turner, who now rides in a private
car over the Santa Fe lines, was the
conductor of the train.
It was way back in the early SOS,
Just after the Santa Fe had built into
New Mexico, and grizzled old Gen.
FORSYTH was in command of the
troops in northern New Mexico. The
Santa Fe in those days was not the
wealthy corporation that it is now
and it did not have the powerful
locomotives that draw it's trains over
the steepest grades without difficulty.
1t had only few Wheezy little old
locomotives out on its frontier lines
and sometimes they pulled and some
times they didn't. -,
Gen. Forsyth got a dispatch that
the Indians were making trouble up
in Southern Colorado and he wanted
to move his troops at once to the
scene. Avery Turner was train
master at the time and he
told the general that with the
motive power at his command
it would be impossible to move
the number of men desired. In Ian
guage more picturesque than polite,
the General ordered the train to be
made up.
Your road has a contract to trans
port soldiers, and by the gods you
will transport us or I will know
why" was his final remark.
THAT meant get busy" said Mr..
Turner in relating the story, "and /
did the best I could. I hitched the
little locomotive at my command to
the troop train and we started.
sThe first hill we encountered the
very thing I knew would happen oc-
Cured to us. We stalled.
"I asked the general if he would
place two hundred and fifty men at
my command. He replied that he
would place the whole bunch at my
command if would only get him to
the scene of the fight instead Of stop
ping on a mountain side to rest.
when the men were ordered out
ordered them to geE on either side of
the train and push. Well, you ought
to have seen the expressions on the
faces of those soldiers. They saw
that 1 meant what 1 said, however,
and they pushed-and the train went
up the hill. -.
"They all got on again and things
went well until we came to another
hill. 1 repeated my request to the
general and got some more real sold
ier language for my trouble, but
got the men, and over we went again.
Next time we slowed down the
entire command turned out and the
engineer actually had to put. on the
brakes to keep the train from getting
hot boxes in making the ascent. We
had no more trouble. The soldiers
were ready every time we got to a
hill and we reached the scene Of de-
barkation ahead Of time.
"Old Gen. Forsyth smiled as he
said farewell and said If we needed
any more United States assistance in
the operation of the Santa Fe to call
on him, but we didn't need it. Head
quarters soon sent out some better
locomotives and after that we trans
ported soldiers over any hills in New
Mexico and they rode all the way"

Millions Wasted by Churches.

The Catholics have 1925 clergy
men, 5000 more than the number Of
their churches. The Protestants have
only 149,472 ministers, or 5O,550
less than the number Of their church
es This number of churches must
either be without pastors or divide a
mans time, says the Rev. Edward
Tallmadgs Root, Field Secretary Of
the Massachusetts Federation OF
Churches, in The Delineator for jan
uary.
What can this mean, in the light Of
the concrete cases studied, but that
at least 100000 churches are too
small to support a pastor alone? To
be sure, their weakness is not al
ways due to duplication; but, on the
other hand many are enabled to sup
port pastor only by receiving Miss
ionary aid and paying starvation
salary. If these be added, we may
allow for those weak because in genu-
inc missionary fields, and still esti-
mate that their very weakness proves
that half of the churches in the
United States are superfous.
1t is safe to say that the same
proportion holds of buildings; for if
there are church organizations with
out houses of worship, on the other
hand there are buildings, as our cita-
tions show, standing idle. Twice as
many churches as are needed seems
a high estimate; but the reader will
note that some such estimate monot-
onously characterizes our quotations
Of facts or statistics for city as well
as country. ....
There is 100000 sunk in
needless church buildings, and $780,
100000 year is needlessly spent in
their maintenance and erection. But
this is small item of waste COM
pared with those of which society as
whole is guilty. How petty it
seems in comparison with the s2,-
000,000,000 spent for intoxicants
and tobacco-needless luxuries, to
say the least! Or in comparison
with the 200, 100000 tons Of coal an
nually wasted in improper methods
of mining; with the similar waste OF
water-power, forests, and all our re-
sources.
There is probably not dollar more
expended in church property than Is
actually needed somewhere. The
trouble Is, that it is not expended to
meet real needs, that it is wasted 20
far as the real interests of the king
dom Of God are concerned.

Whether the progressive or republican

The sentiment of the voters of Iowa
