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.

SPARE THAT Rockefeller Is Incensed When Ho Sees Abrasions on Epidermis : of Hybrid. r 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" ules always suffered abxalnons from the harness until their akin became cal iiules always f suffered abrasions from turned his walk.
