they will be satisfied with the mlder knowl

Many of the parents have been frank
enough to admit that before the lllustra

With an accordion pleated silk hat under
his arm containing 11.17 In cash, three but
tons and two green cigarette coupons, the
proceeds of the collection at a camp meet
ing In Oklahoma City, ona of the pillars
of the negro congregation in the form of a
deacon sprinted through town while the
whole assemblage followed. '
He escaped by a plan which would seem
to entitle him to a prominent place on a
board of strategy in time of war. It Is
believed he had an ally and that the pot
will have to be split with tha latter, for
Just as the younger men and women of
the congregation were coming up with the
deacon snd his hatful of aaseta somebody
let a chicken loose In the street, and as
chicken comes pretty high around hire,
even on the hoof, the appearance of the
fowl made the disappearance of the dea
con as easy as the removal of a confec
tion from the maniples of an Infant.
One of the most prominent negro eihort-
era of theae parts Is known as "Bin Killer"
Griffith, and he certainly had wickedneas
looking groggy at the ramp meeting Juat
outside of town recently.
He was telling of the awful eternity of
brimstone, ' powder, dynamite and nitro
glycerin that ths "wicked would have to
live in ths midst of in the hereafter, while
good folks stood around the brink above
with their pockets full of fuses and
matches, when be saw eeveral of the faith
ful getting ready to depart. The champion
'sin killer" yelled after then to keep off
the brink If they couldn't listen any longer,
and then ordered a hasty collection made,
because it seemed to him the congregation
Itself wss about to explode.
Ths duty waa entrusted to Deacon Plunk
itt. who ran down to the front of the
gathering and began to poke his silk lid
under the noses of the worshipers. The
other deacons, who were not on ths Job,
wondered why Deacon Plunkltt had not
been Instructed by the "sin killer" to begin
at the rear and work forward. This has
always been a precaution at camp meet
ings, when the preacher clasps the deacon
In his arms ss be reaches ths platform.
When ths deacon reached ths last row of
