Norwalk. Conn, Nov s.--John Harding.

never permit him to place himself on

the fat ladies: and so. while he might
have amassed a considerable fortune, he
died a pauper.
Nature was in a strange mood when
she brought him into being. Harding was
AZ years old. but he was no bigger thah
a normal two-year-old baby. His arms
and legs were gnarled and twisted anu
