A struggling line of army posts kept the Santa Fe trail open between Kansas City and New Mexico. Fort Riley was considered the edge of civilization. Fort Wadsworth. on the Smoky Hill; Fort Zarah, on Walnut Creek and Fort Larned furnished escorts for the wagon trains.

Col Accompanied by Lieutenant Hallo- well of the Ninth Wisconsin artillery and an escort of 100 cavalrymen, Capt. Booth set out on the perilous trip. The two off cers travelled in light ambulance drawn by pair of powerful mules. That enabled them to carry their necessary equipment for inspection and not retard the escort.

Hallowell intended to follow in an hour or more. The inspection was delayed however, and Il start was not made until nearly noon. Capt Conkey, commanding the post. laughed at their suggestions that perhaps u guard should accompany them until the escort was overtaken.
 Lieut. Hallowell soon noticed that no buffalo could be seen near the trail. The captain believed the passage of the es- cort had driven them away. So, feeling secure. the two officers travelled some five or six miles, when. dancing to the left toward the Arkansas river, Capt Booth saw something which he remarked might be flock of turkeys"

 This was almost immediately disproved, file of Indians raced up from the ravine where they had been hiding and prepareN for a chase. Buffalo robes were discard ed. spears and arrows made ready and ponies mOunteu More came and the company started after the retreating of ficers.

A score of ar- rows fired into the wagon from either side by flanSing parties was his answer. Booth answered with. his revolver.

Booth was soon wounded and Haliewell again Booths aim became better now and an Indian tumbed from his pony. His comrades stopped to wall over him and the officers pained a brief respite ! he mules were still at full gallop. and only a third of the distance to the fort covered.
 The Indians were more determined after the ones death. They raced the wagon and repeated their former tactics. Booth exhausted his ammunition. Their swords were the officers only weapons now. One Indian rode alongside the wagon and srimaced at the white men. Booth aimed him empty revolver at him and. as he snapped the empty chamber. yelled: Bang, you sun of a gum The Indian ducked behind his pony and turned away.
 But the next time he refused 10 scare Booth hurled tha revolves al him. In their desperate plight the two officers threw other pieces of their equipment at tho savages. Swords. uniform cases. boxes and even their hats were used. Each time the Indians stopped to gather tho plunder, and the officers won brief re- spite that way The chase continued as a cat ana mouse game uhlit the loIt Wds only a mile away. The white men began to yell, hoping to attract attention of the fort The Indians closed around them. ap- parentiy to end their chase before the soldiers saw them. One savage tried to grab bridie and turn the mules aside. Halowell, wounded in a dozen places. struck him with his whip and turned tho lash on the team. Booth heaved the last few pieces of equipment away. And then the wagon rarfler over a little bridge just outside the fort and into safety. dozing gentry heard the chatter.

 Pressure from Presbyterians to retain the work, attacked from many quarters. to make country pastors more efficient and rural churches of more use to their communities has resulted in putting it under the direction of the Social Service department of the reorganized board to- gether with immigrant and city welfare work The new plan, to go into full operation immediately on election of new men takes place next week, extends the democracy of this church, and Is held greatly to emphasize the importance of the presbyteries as against general or national control.

 A question to attract deep interest is the policy of Baptist work in China Baptists of the North have four con- siderable mission fields in that republic, and it has been proposed to abandon one of them. The reason was the expense. A report recently made is to the effect that Baptist missionary work in China, supported by money given by American Baptists. is below what it ought to be in efficiency. Nevertheless there is stout opposition to giving up of even this smallest of Baptist fields there. It was stated at Nashville that the largest
 number ever attending Baptist anniver- saries in the South were present. It is predicted that the same record will be | made at Boston at the end of this month. Presbyterian Home Missions
 Administration of Presbyterian home mission interests has been wholly reor- ganized, and there is to be created at once a headquarters outside of New York Whether it will be Chicago. Den yer or Seattle is yet to be decided. A
 secretary is to be elected for it, and his special work is extension. The plan is | a concession to the malcontents who de- inanded localization of the work. The | Rev. Dr. Charles l.. Thompson, the vet
 eral secretary, who Is also chairman of | the Home Mission council which in- cudes all home mission societies in the l United States, has retired and there will ] be elected at once two new secretaries for administration work in New York

Christian Efficiency

White Baptists of the South, just meet ing at Nashville, made Christian effi- ciency their slogan. They reported a steady growth in membership and gifts, and for better economic results declared formally for complete autonomy at home and abroad, no entangling alliances with other bodies under a guise of Church unity; for the multiplication of schools to teach Baptist views and the co-ordin- ation of all educational influences; and permanent peace within their own ranks. By such policies they express the con viction that they can longest hold to- gether and best serve the world.
 Baptists of the North meet in Boston on June IT. and will have before them, unless generous Baptists wipe it out be- fore the date, debt that is admittedly too heavy to be paid off by ordinary means. This debt amounts at this time to $2S0,000, and has been accumulated through about five years by two or three large Baptist benevolent societies. The largest part comes from the foreign so-
