PRECEPT AND EXAMPLE.


n "Christian Gentleman"
Gen. o. o. Howard relates that while
he and his command lay in camp OPP
posite Fairfax seminary, across the
Potomac" in the earlier weeks OF the
civil war some soldiers one day brought
to his tent queer-looking negro boy,
half naked, who said his name was
Tommy" He had followed them, the
men said, from Alexandria, unnoticed
at first; and when they found him in
camp they did not know what to do
with him. ... .. ....
Gen. Howard looked the little fellow
over, questioned him, without getting
much information, and concluded that
he had male "Topsy' on his hands.
He called Henry johnson, the officers
black cook, and told him to take the
youngster, wash him and see what he
could make Of him. Tomorrow" he
added, "I'll have n suit Of clothes for
him"
The little runaway soon became well
known about headquarters and
throughout the camp. He was very
small, and everybody called him "Tom-
tit" except when some unlucky in
dividual or tent mess suffered from his
pranls. Then he was that little imp"
And certainly more impish young ne
gro never lived.
Pulling out tent pins and tickling
sleepers' noses were only mild forms
of his sly fun. His new suit of clothes
had pockets, and anything he saw that
would go into them he would steal.
Perfect monkey in mischief, he had to
NIL appearance no more than monkeys
moral sense,
Irrepressible as he was, there were
times when Tomtit would on no ac-
count play any of his antics; and those
were the times when the black cooks
eyes were on him. ...
The wild little waif, who had no re-
spect for anyone else, was under Henry
Johnson's control. He listened to him
when he talked and he helped him
obediently about his work. Johnson
had served in the first families in Vir-
ginia," and was a man not only of court
ly manners and some education, but Of
sterling character. The officers did not
scruple to call him "Christion gen.
tleman."
From him Tonitit received probably
his first instruction in morals and in
real religion, for Johnson was pray
ing man. The boy learned that he must
not interfere with other peoples rights
and duties, and must give back every
thing that he had nilfered
When the army began it's marches
Tomtit disappeared, and his adventures
for the next II years remain untold.
Returned to Washington from service in
the west, long after the close of the war;
Gen. Howard was one day accosted by a
handsome young colored man, who gave
his name as Thomas M.
He was the Tomtit of the old Po-
tomac camp; now bright, promising
young man, fairly well educated and en-
joying n good situation. In the brief
interview with him, the general-who
tells the story in the Overland-learned
that the faithfulness of Henry johnson,
the negro cook, had taught the neg
lected boy the elements of virtue and
manliness, and he had never forgotten
his teacher.
How much more effective Is moral
instruction, to children of any color
when 1t IL backed by the example of a
teacher who is always christian gen.
tleman"

Cream Tomato Soup.

Cream tomato soup is delicious, il
properly made and seasoned. Select
perfect tomatoes and boil them until
they can be easily pressed through
strainer. Add a pinch Of soda to mako
them very light. Beat briskly and stir
in as much sweet milk as you want
soup. Sprinkle in salt and white pep
per and serve at once.-Boston Budget.

Po.,ibiIitie. of Good.

There are possibilities Of good in
every man we meet. The condition OF
life in which man is living is the re-
suit. to very large extent, of the in
fuences which have surroupded hin,
from childhood to manhood. Give man
new surroundings. Better than that,
give him n new heart motive and the
character Of his life may be vastly diff
ferent-McC.

Roping Alps Climbers.

Swiss experts have come to the con-
clusion that more harm is done tnan
prevented by roping climbers on gla-
ciers. Tourists saved from a crevasse
are often fatally injured by the rope
cutting into the body. 1t is now pro-
posed to obviate this by means Of spe-
cially-constructed broad belts.-Chica-
go Tribune.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MiNNEAPOL1S, May 1S.-The local wheat
market opened weak and lower this morning
on discouraging cables and fine weather re-
ports, and continued rather weak throughout
the morning session. The character of the
trading was confined to a little scaIping.
with the majority Of the trade in a waiting
mood. 1t is felt that prices are dragging
elons on the bottom, but that it wants a more
active cash demand to keep it up. The sta
tistical position grows stronger daily 1t

IN MANY PoRT1oNa

The regular weekly crop report foi
Minnesota, issued yesterday, sayss
Showers were reported in nearly all
portions Of the state in the early and
middle parts Of the week. They were
generally light, and hardly sufficient
for late sown grain, grass and pastures,
but in small portions the rain was
heavy enough to delay corn planting,
The weather grew steadily colder till
Friday. with frosts on the morning of
May Is, IA and Is, and in some places
SHOW or hail was mixed with the rain.
Fears are expressed that these frosts
injured the small fruits and apples now
In bloom, but others say the frosts were
TOO light and that the fruit was not in
a critical stage. The cold has retarded
growth Of gardens and termination to
wheat In promoting stooling and un.
der ground growth. Corn planting has
been general as far north as the north
ern corn limit, being we'll advanced In
Southern sections with much finished
and few small pieces up, but these
will probably have such a setback
by the cold as to be overtaken by later
seeded fields. Much seedcorn Is lacking
In vitality, and poor termination is
feared. Wheat seeding is nearly f1n-
ished in the Red river valley and the
first sown is looking well. The seeding
of other small grains, flax and potatoes
is we'll advanced in that section. In
other sections everything is in the
ground but corn, potatoes and flax Pas.

fall is being done in Lincoln county.
