when they set out with the baby evan
gelist on his soul-stirring tour.
The mother has Indian blood in her
veins. Her mother was a half-breed.
The father has more of the charac-
teristics of his white than of his black
ancestors. Three races-white, negro
and Indian-make up the origin of the
child. Savants assert that the product
OF two or more races is of much
higher grade of intelligence than the
child who Is either all white, all negro
or all Indian Some accept this theory
as the solution OF the mystery of Lon
ME Lawrence Dennis, the child
preacher.
The Rev. George G.. Hepburn, the
venerable clergyman. who is the guide,
counselor and friend of most of the
Episcopal clergy OF the city, visited
the boy preacher and interviewed him.
He asked him such questions as are
put to 14-year-old candidates for con-
flrmation. His decision is that the
child's theology is sound, and that he
has been taught of God.
The child appears to be in an en-
tirely normal state, as far as intelli-
gence and the physical being is con-
cerned," says Mr.. Hepburn. Spirit
ually considered, he is phenomenon.
l am impressed particularly by the
unwavering firmness of his religious
convictions. His theology Is sound. It
is SO phenomenal that child OF his
tender years should have such knowl-
edge that / cannot but believe he IL
inspired. and that he is taught OF God.
1t struck me as ! listened to the child
that his replies were like those OF
Joan of Arc, and that he, like her,
was an agent OF a higher power. The
child may be divinely appointed for
some special mission. probably as Z
spiritual leader Of his race"
A stenographic report OF the inter-
view between the aged clergyman and
the child demonstrates at least that
the latter has an abnormally active
mind. Here are some Of the questions
and answers:
"What do you know about God?"
IT know what he wants me to do"
"What is that?"
"Preach the gospel"
"What is the gospel?"

UNIQUE wlnoow,N CLUBHOUSE
Made to Order for Man WAs Was
Separated from HIS Wifs

Made to Order for = Man WAs Was
Separated from His Wife
In the Kinloch club. at st. Louis,
there is stained glass window with
an odd history. says the st. Louis Re-
public. 1t is not an ordinary window,
with its parts Joined by frames Of lead,
but IL OF the finest kind Of colored ca
thedral glass. SO perfectly Joined that
the seams are not visible. II IL paneled
in shape. and in the colorsd glass ap-
pears the face and form Of . beautiful
woman. She is in the costume of
dancer. and her skirts fall but little be-
low the knees The figure is perfect in
its proportions, and the face il one of
surprising beauty. When the club
house was finished the art committee
looked around for something unique in
the way of decoration. They found it
in Chicago. where they had gone ex-
ploring. Entering the art store they
told the dealer they wanted to see the
choicest thing he had. The dealer re-
piled that he had a beautiful colored
window panel, which was left on his
hands through peculiar chain of
circumstances. A rich Chicagoan had.
Immediately after marrying, decided
that as a part OF the decoration of his
new home he would have window in
which the face and form of his wife
would appear. He got together the
necessary photographs In appropriate
costumes and brought them to the
glass window concern. where estimates
were made as to the probable cost. He
wanted naught but the best, and was
not content to have the picture painted
or burnt into the glass. He wanted
the work done in the actual colored
glass. The dealer was Obliged to send
the photographs and an extended ex-
PLANTATION OF what was wanted abroad,
and there the window was made. 1t
took months for its completion, and
when 1t was finished and returned the
dealer notified his rich patron. But
the window never found place in the
rich mans house. They had been mar
ried long enough to become estranged
and divorced. The rich man had COM
pleted the house he had built for his
bride and was living alone In it There
were enough sad memories about the
house without having the face OF the
woman from whom he had separated
looking down on him from one OF the
great windows, so the work was never
accepted. That is the reason the mem
bers of the Kinloch club were able to
get such a truly beautiful and origt-
nal window as a decoration for their
mantel.

Ing Various Rooms.
There are rooms in some houses that
produce a sense OF irritation on nerve
and brain on those who are sensitive to
color, so crude and harsh and 5arring
are the arrangements Of the same. Go
into another room in some other house.
where all the colors sooths and delight,
and you will nnd soft olives and dull
blue and blue-greens. having an tnde-
scribably gentle influence. The blue
green or olive prevails in the carpet.
the ground being deep blue and the all
over pattern soft olive and dull blue.
The olive prevails In the long curtains,
and takes on rather golden tone, while
the sash curtains are entirely of the
softest dull blue India silk, trimmed
with tassel braid to match. The Hol-
land shades are in ecru. There II an
absence of conspicuous figures, pattern
and ground. A bit of pale rose or
yellow, or old gold. or dull red, may be
used in such room. An old fan. for
example, ornamented with a bow of
pale rose satin and displayed against
q light olive wall, tells for much more
than against wall fowered or ns-

The SImplon Tunnel.

The Simplon tunnel, when complet-
ed, will be eighteen kilometers tabout
eleven niles long-the longest in Eu-
rope. On the Swiss side the work has
proceeded to a distance of more than
fourteen hectometers, while on the
Italian side the mountain has been
pierced to a depth of only seven hecto-
meters, SO that only one-ninth of the
work of excavation is accomplished.

produce malarial fever. MIS- l.otta
Lewis is the victim. She went to Mid-
Land Beach few weeks ago with her
husband, and they lived In a cottage
on the edge of piece Of woods. the
mosquitoes were something awful. len
days of battle with them was enough,
and they returned to New York. Sew
eral days later Mrs. Lewis went out
in the evening in n thin dress. On re-
turning home she was seized with a se-
we're chill, which recurred daily until
she went to the hospital.
The case was diagnosed there a. the
familiar disease of malarial fever. the
doctors say the mosquitoes got tne
germs either in the swamp or from In
fected human or animal blood. Through
the MOSQUITOES stomach the malarial
germs reach the blood. When it bites
a human being the bloodsucking Is ac-
Iompanied by the injection Of the con-

then let them bite crows. The blrds

bite the sick crows, and after an inter
val bite healthy birds. These crows
also get chills.

Germany claims that militarlsm IL

cruit is. In his years OF service in a
standing army, educated, disciplined
and then returned to society and to in
dustry far more intelligent and ef-
fective person than he was before, or
could have made himself. This, to
some degree, is true. The standard OF
manhood ought to be raised and is
raised by the military system; but sup
pose the government gave all men a
training simply for Industrial purposes
and put them into trade schools instead
OF camps? similar but far higher
end would be attained, in such a pro-
ductive potentiality as has never vet
been realized and it seems as leeiti-
mate to train men for national prosper
tty as for national defense.

Importance just now. The Senate passed

partment separate and distinct from the

treatment under the State Hospital for
