 Atmany of the long words he stumbled and more than once was more than hope lessly stuck This seemed to annoy him greatly, and he gave vent to his disap- pointment in short impatient cries. All the books at first shown to him were print ed in the German text After little some Latin works printed in the Roman type were handed to him. These we arc told pug zled him not little. He seemed to but half comprehend them. Then he asked this question, truly astonishing to come from lips so immature as his:

 The disposition of this marvellous boy is stated to be vain and dictatorial to a de. gree. He seems to be excessively proud of his accomplishment and to realize that it is something that has already marked him as a being different from other babies. When there are no newspapers or books within reach, however. he seems to be satisfied with the things that usually en. gage the attention of little children. but let bit of print be shown. and he forsakes his whistles and rattles instantly He can hardly walk as yet. and he still nurses at h!5 mothers breast.
 From the doctors the child was taken home in street car where he manifested tremendous amount of indignation be- cause there was no lettering on its win dows. To pacify him fellow passenger showed the babe couple of letters These Otto read, though parts of them were not easy.
 This was not at all surprising" the gentleman said afterward, 'for they were written in shockingly bad hand"
 The doctors say there is no reason for Otto's parents to worry about his physical health, though they believe he is the most precocious child on record Herr and Frau Poehler claim to have no desire to exhibit the infant prodigy, and, as may be imag- ined, number of German scientists have shown great interest in him. They pro- pose to watch over his mental development and if possible prevent its taking an un- symmetrical course.

 Colonel Bundy has long been an en thusiastic Son of Veteran. He organized and was the first captain of Wellston camp, No. 8. He has also served term as elect i've member of the council in chief and is state colonel of the Ohio Sons of Veterans Camp No. 105 is named after his father, Sanford Bundy, who was private In the Seventh Ohio volunteer cavalry. That Colonel Bundy is popular among the members of the order is shown by the fact that he had no serious opposition and was chosen commander in chief by accla nation.
 Colonel Bundy is nephew of ex Govern or Foraker of Ohio. In 1890 he was one of the principals in an elopement that at- tracted great deal of attention at the time. He was riding on stage when he became acquainted with Miss Eva Leedom, daughter of J. P. Leedom, ex sergeant-at- arms of the national house of representa- tives. It was what is popularly known as a case of love at first sight, and during the ride Bundy dared his new ladylove to go to Grotia Green, Ky, with him and share with him the name of Bundy. She refused, but before the couple separated they were engaged. Four days later they eloped and were married in Covington, Ky, at midnight. After the ceremony Bundy said that his wifes father once beat his grandfather in race for congress, but that tho Bundy family would now let bygones be bygones.

tile eyes rested and finally made it clear that he was anxious to be told their mean ing It was not an easy thing to do this, his mother says, but 1t was finally accom- plished through perseverance, the child lis , tening with open mouth and wide eyes to the instruction given.
 A day or two later he was sent out over the same route in charge of servant, when he insisted that she should stop the perambulator wherein she was pushing him to read off the words on signs and placards that had before been explained to him This done. he called for further reading, but the girl had read enough, in her judg- ment, and refused. At this Otto cried and got red in the face, attracting the atten- ton of Q passing gentleman, who asked the cause of the childs complaint Being told the gentleman read for Otto, who eX hibited tho eliveliest manifestations of de- light. Then there was a little lesson at the boys request, Otto appearing to Do especially pleased with the letter ID, " re- beating many times and with evident sat isfaction words containing it that were read to him.
 The next day the precocious youngster discovered that there were books and newspapers in the house of his parents, and that these contained printed letters and words. Since that time nothing but reading has availed to keep him still If he gees piece of printed matter which he cannot get hold of, he screams until it is given to him. He succeeded in learning the German alphabet in three or four days by asking the names of the letters of who ever happened to be nearest him. His par ents thought the whole matter so strange that shortly after they first noted his pre- cocity they took him to the doctors to in quire if it carried with it any bodily weak ness.
 The doctors tested tho child's temper by offering him the choice of books and pa pers or apples and cherries. He showed every symptom of delight when he saw the fruit, as any other child of his age would do, but when he saw the reading matter he left the basket at once, his eyes shining with the intensity of his joy and the former childlike expression of his coun- tenance being immediately supplanted bv

In brief his accomplishment consists of the power to read anything and everything at sight, notwithstanding his tender age, after he has once mastered the alphabet in which the matter is written or printed, and in spite of the fact that all his powers, save this one, are as little developed as are those of most children of his age.
 Ottos father is butcher who, though well to do as German butchers go is not possessed of literary taste or ambitions in any degree whatsoever. The mother is of like mental habit and attainments, and both parents are in a state of perpetual amazement over their child's remarkable proficiency This was first noticed when Otto was but about 15 months old.
