An enthusiastic woman interrupted
"Billy" Sunday ib-toa sermon yester
day afternoon and, for fully sixty
seconds, filled the tabernacle with
her Joyoua shouts and commenda
tions of his remarks.
She was a sweet-faced old lady,
dressed in black and with her white
hair parted in the middle and drawn
back smoothly over her head. She
eat in the center of the front row,
right before the evangelist's pulpit.
"Bllly'a" theme was the man with
the withered hand who was healed
by Christ. The aged woman mur
mured "Amen" a number of times.
Her eyes never left his face. Finally
"Amens" were not enough and sud
denly she shouted:
"Olory to God! Hallelujah! O,
r raise His name! Praise His name!"
Her clear voice pentrated through the
tabernacle and necks were craned to see
her. She paused a. moment and "Billy'
atarted on with his sermon, but was 1m-

"Gloryl Glory! Glory! Glory! Olory!"
he .cried. . "Oh. Mi's so ood '4e- have
salvation. Glory to God."
'Slater, you'll have to keep still." he
finally said. "If you want to talk I'll;
have to stop till yoa set through."
Bven this did not restrain her.
"Oh. I can't keep still," she cried. "1 11!
try to but the Lord'U hayo to help ...
O glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory!"
Her voice rose higher and higher..
"Billy" seemed to give It up. He smiled.
The audience tittered.
. "Never mind." he said. "If the slater
wants to get excited, let her go. And.

you would feel more glory and shdut
more glory you'd do more for Christ."
People around her calmed the good
woman finally and "Billy" proceeded.'

SHAKES HANDS WITH TOILERS
VALDEZ, Colo., Sept. 21. John
D. Rockefeller arrived at Valdes to
day after a fifteen-mile automobile
ride from Trinidad over the "Stone
wall'' highway, recently graded and
money under. the supervision of W.
L. Mackenzie King. During his stay
he visited severaL of the buildings
and talked with jfie men, particularly
with" Archie Dennison, the grievance
representative of the camp.
Dennison told the Standard Oil mag
nate of several Instances when,' through
direct mediation with the officers of the
cojnpany, he had secure d relief from bur-
ttensome rules which, he declared, had
been Imposed by minor "bosses" without
the knowledge of the. heads of -the. cor
poration. When Mr; Rockefeller was go
ing Into ' the' mine, . B. " H. . Weltsel, man
ager of the company's fuel department,
said, "Well, you've got to dress for It"
So Weltsel negotiated with the company
store and paid $2 each for suits of blue
overalls. Jumpers and miners' cape, In
which Rockefeller and Wv I . Mackensk
King 'arrayed themselves. Then, guided)
by Weltsel, J. P. Thomas, division super
Intendent of the company, and Dennison,
the grievance man, Rockefeller and King
plodded into the long "man way." which
led Into the aide hill and pierced the
thick veins of coal.
Humps Ilia Head Often.
The roof waa low, the path rough and
sometimes slippery with water. The
Rockefeller back was bowed and the
Rockefeller brow time and again bumped
painfully on the overhanging coal cell
ing. But, smiling and chatting cheerfully.
Rockefeller tramped briskly along Into
the dark Interior of the mountain. Reach
ing the section where three men were at
work. Rockefeller shook hands with each
and Tony and Mike Buklnovlch ducked
their heads and grinned bashful answers
to the questions of the oil king. ' Rocke
feller asked particularly regarding the
wages and working conditions of the
men and received a - wide variety of
answers.
Just before leaving the mine the party
passed a mule patiently waiting for his
r r to be loaded for another trip down
the long passageway to the trolley tracks.
Rockefeller began - talking to the mule
driver, then sdddenly "Look there," he
demanded, "Why Is that mule chafed and
bleeding frorx the harness?" The em
harassed driver stammered an explana
tion. Rockefeller walked around the ani
mal pointing out several places where
Its skin had been worn by the harness.
Finally the combined eloquence of all the
mine officials present sufficed to per
suade the man of millions that "green"
