A CHAMPION IN ORDERS
BY Stuart b. Stone.

The big revival at the Grow
Center African Union church wa
in full and glorious swing. TIL,
visiting elder from Ham City wal
an eloquent exhorter; Brother 10
nadab Augustus Caesar Jones, the
local shepherd, sat behind the
pulpit and rolled sonorous
"amens"; Sister Carolina Angeli
ca Jenkins, who had taken a mu
sic course from Chicago mail
order house, played increasingly
on the little imitation pipe organ
and the choir, shading from shin
ing ebony to delicate lemon, put
their hearts into their singing.
Now" shouted Elder Flavius
Josephus Pottlocks, the evangel-
list, now all yoh wicked and am
fibyus sinners dat feels de sword
of Gideon stickin' in yoh brack
hearts, come a-trottin' hyah to de
affairs of Zion!" The elder
whacked the pulpit SO that a tum-
bier of water jumped off.
Roll, Jordan, ROLL" chanted
Elder Pottlocks.
Sister Eliza Belle Coleman be-
gan to clap her washing-powder-
worn palms. The choir sang lust
lily "Fohteen Mob Times Round
de Walls of Jericho!"
The lamentations of the mourn
ers rose and fell in one beauti-
full, minor chant. Then it was
that a long, lank, muscular, ma
hogany-colored gentleman arose
in the middle of the congregation
and howled at the top of his
leather-lined voice.
"Whoopee! Wow-wow! Amt
i jest de worst coon dat ever
vast"
Elder Pottlocks contracted his
maple-sugar-tinted brows at the
interrupter, but Deacon George
Washington Jackson tugged at
the evangelist's coattails. "Doan
yoh pay no 'tention to dat triflin'
coon," he admonished. Hes a
old prizefighter and carries on fit
to kill every big meetin'. Maybe
some day de rod o. Moses swat
him mighty hard"
But the visiting elder frowned
yet more impressively.
"Whoo-weei Whoo-pee!" yelled
Mr.. Smoky Moke. Lick any cul-

No, that is not the secret. It ia

The Moke attempted a knockout
blow at the outset, but Elder Pott-
locks had skill, and landed stun
ningly on Smoky's nose.
"Oh, glory! Sound de loud
timbrel!" shouted Deacon George
Washington Jackson.
The Smoky Moke came again
with more caution, but the elder
tented, then dealt an awful up
percut on the chin.
"Hosanna!" shouted Sister Ann
Sanders, in uncontrolled glee.
Then Elder Pottiocks, with one
wild swing, administered the so
lar plexus, knocking the Smoky
Moke backwards over Deacon
Jackson, splitting the contents OF
the contribution box. 1t was
enough for the Moke. With an
afr of deep humility he disappear

three razors, a pair of bones
and a rabbit-foot upon the floor.
Amid the widest excitement

noon. Mr.. Houston received q message
from the chief Of police at Pueblo to

him at the same time q description Of
the man wanted An hour or 30 later
Mr.. Houston discovered his man lean
ing over the rail OF the platform Of .
caboose near the station. He walked
up to him and requested him to step
down as he desired to have . talk with
him. Choate was not slow in observing
the ofhcer's star and decided that such
a conversation boded NO good to him.
Making an excuse in order to obtain .
momentary advantage Choate leapsd
to the ground ON the other side Of the
platform and started to run. Such .
sprinter Mr.. Houston says he never
