The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-01-22

Mr.. Dennis told me something about
the precocious child's history He was
born in Atlanta in 1898, on Christmas
day. The general supposition that both
his parents are negroes is an error. His

IN appearance, but he says he is a mix
ture of white and Indian blood The
child's mother. who looks like full
FLOODED negro, says she also has Indian
blood In her veins Lonnie looks like a
mulatto. Physically he Is fine, healthy
cElld. His parents say he has never
known what it is to be sick. Though
ne insists on keeping late hours they
do not seem to fatigue him. After the
excitement of a big meeting he sits
awake for hours without speaking.
lie was two years old when he first
began to talk about his inspiration.
rom infancy he has believed. or saws
ne mas. that he has holy mission to
iulhi. NO amount of questioning will
induce his parents to admit that they
lnstllIed these thoughts into the little
Fellows mind. They declare that thew
have never taught him the Scriptures
and that he knows more now than they
can ever hope to know Mrs. Dennis
says she tried to wean the childs
thoughts from religious matters, but
In vain. She invited children of the
neighbors to play with him, but he
wouldn't look at them.
Lonnie is a whimsical lad about his
food, and almost everything else. He
likes fish, cereals and sweets Meat Is
repulsive to him. He insists on hav-
ing his hair dressed in the peculiar
way shown in the photographs taken
especially for the Sunday HeraId-two
little crinky curls hanging from his
temples half way down his cheeks and
tied at the top with small bows Of
ribbon. When he breaches" as he

The true date line is rarely shown on

Roughly, the course of the line ia
as follows: Starting at the north pole

This accomplished, 1t returns to the
Tooth and S0th meridian and drops
southwark into the tropics, keeping
far to the east ofSthe japanese group
and the Philippines, until it approa ches
the latitude Of the. Fiji islands.
AS these and some neighboring
groups belong to Great Britain and do
business chiefly with her Australian
colonies, the date line here makes a
sudden swerve eastward, so as not to
embarrass the local commerce with a.
change of day.

Thus the meeting ran on for more
than two hours. The child's eyes We're
afame with excitement. He seemed
possessed. Other children of his age
We're at home tucked in their cribs.
If the child had given anything ap-
preaching such an exhibition in the
alter or public hall the Gerry society
would have been down on him within
twenty-four hours. But they never in
terfered. although their attention was
called to the case The revival serv-

photogra phs ran out. and the child was

where he holds services today.

him to sit up late at night and sleep
