In view OF the strong possibility that

The small boy created a sensation
in a North Memphis church a Sun
day or two ago.
The minister was one Of the good
old birthstone kind, and his sermons
are always marked by a powerful i'm

ates his hearers. The text on the oc-
casion was taken from Revelations

ing up the Vorld ike a scroll, paint
ing the vivid reflection Of hell en- the
sky, and putting a period Of time,
when a little fellow in his first pants,
who sat with his grandmother about
the middle Of the church, looked
suddenly up and caught his conclud-
ing remarks about 'the end Of time"
The boys face suddenly lighted up
with a CLEAN Of memory and explor-

brought out G little tin watch-one Of

and started it going just as the minis

pleasantly like a soiree in the lower
regions. The boy jammed the ma
chine back in his pocket to get it out
Of the old lady's sight, but it kept on
with its internal racket. A look Of
horror slowly overspread her features,
as she tried to assure herself she was
not really sinking slowly into the old
boys embraces.

thing went on until the little fellow
began to dance a hornpipe on the
bench, and, grasping the region Of his
pocket with both hands, tried yainly
to choke It of. People began to un.
derstand at last, and a mirthful groan
c%onyulscd the amen corner. The old
lady was the last to drop on it, but
when she did she also dropped her
whole weight on the boy.
