The work that the American soldier
has done I'm cuba and is now doing in
the Philippines suggests that our Ind
ian wars have been worth all they cost
because of the training they have given
our army. Against crazy headed Fill

American soldier has shown himself su-
preme. He simply does not seem TO
know how 10 bc defeated The Spanish
war was closed without the loss of a
standard or a man taken prisoner.
without a single retreat or the giving
Of an inch of ground. The same pro-
cess is being repeated in the Philip
pines. Undoubtedly the greater proper
ton of this extraordinary soldierly
quality was developed by the Indian
wars, first and last. The regiments of
regulars are filled with experienced
Indian fighters and besides almost ev-
cry one of the regiments has u history
of sturdy fighting against our red fell

is prodigy, no doubt the result OF
prenatal influences. The child's weight
Is forty-fiye pounds. The circumfer-
ence Of his head, measuring above the
eyes to the posterior portion, Is TWEEN
ty-two and five-eighths inches. A per-
son weighing $50 pounds at adult age
has an average cranial circumference
Of twenty-one and five-eighths inches.
Examination OF his head bears out
the chronological theory that the fac
ulty OF religion, when largely devel-
oped, is shown by cranial develop
ment. The highest point OF the head.
at the center, Is enormously devel-
oped, and the skull at that point is
very thin, showing that the develop
ment Is Of brain. not OF bone. Ac-
cording to chronological theories this
enormous size is due to a correspond
ingly enormous activity of that por-
ton OF the brain.

NAL. II not restrained and ASSOCIATED

he will meet an untimely end. There
is great danger that the brain will not
be properly nourished because OF the
insufficiency OF the circulation in so

h Little Lonnie Dennis Insplrsdf-vary-
lag Opinions About the Negro CAild
Preacher In New York-Wonder of
the Century.

Whether Lonnie Lawrence Dennis Is
An inspired prophet or mental prodigy
Is disputed question. But be this
decided as it may, the colored boy of
8 years has created considerable inter
est in New York theological circles.
He is the boy evangelist who has gone
to New York to save what he calls the
new Sodom." The boy is anxious to
interest John D. Rockefeller. and hopes
to persuade the multimillionaire to
provide the money to send him to
Africa He wants to spend the rest Of
his life, after he has converted New
York, to saving the heather Of his
ancestral continent
The child is preaching every other
day at African churches in New York
and vicinity. He has keen. eager
face. lit with large. black eyes. He has
the attitudes, the seriousness and the
sonorous voice OF man, and his face
has the gravity OF mans, too. His
parents say he Is inspired. Preachers,
negro and white, agree with them.
Physicians say he has an abnormally
developed brain, with bias for re-
ligion. Ministers say he is taught Of
God, and that he is divinely appointed
~ leader Of his people. They pre-
dict long life Of usefulness for him.
Physicians say he is likely to die Of
brain fever at an early age.
The throngs who, prompted by curl
osity or religious fervor, visit Lonnie
Lawrence Dennis at his poor lodgings,
9S4 West Thirty-Seventh street, can
not solve the mystery.

room, a quiet man Of feeble frame and
