The agricultural population In the
vicinity Of Bell Bsnk, Chester county,
eight miles from Oxford, are excited over
the birth Of a midget baby. The infant Is
most wonderful freak of nature. When
ushered into existence two weeks ago it
was barely ten inches in length and it

farmer, rather above than below medium
height, named Nelson Bunting. He is 40
years old, and his wife Julia, who Is not
over two or three years his junior, Is quite
a large woman. They are the parents
Of half a dozen girls and boys fully as large
as children OF their respective ages usually
are, and they can offer no explanation Of
this apparent phenomenon. Since her
birth the midget, which is Of the female
sex, has not grown in any perceptible de.
gree, but she Ia by no means weak or
puny, despite her diminutiVe size, and her
voice is as powerful as that Of the largest
infant ever born. She Is we'll proportioned
