A Small Beginning.

Perhaps thetiniest mite ofhumanity
in the world is the 2-weeks-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. P. Lady, of
Paducah. At birth the child weigh
ed just one pound and a quarter, but
was perfectly formed and developed.
He was a foot tall, and his face
could be covered by a watch crystal.
His hands we're an inch long and
his feet an inch and a half long.
He was too small for any known size
in infants attire, and his first dress
was supplied from the wardrobe of the
doll of little neighbor girl.

Champion Of suItan's realm no Match
for Worlds Champion Gotch.


CHICAGO. April 15.--It would be
impossible 10 convince any OF the TO-
coo followers of the wrestling game
who saw Frank Gotch throw Yussif
Mahmout last night that a greater
wrestler than Gotch ever lived or ever
will live. The Terrible Turk" was 81
far from terrible to the brawny lowan
that the bout was almost burlesque
Gotch simply toyed with his oppon'
ent and just II minutes and 10 sec
onds after the men went on the mat
the American had won two falls and
retained the wrestling championship
OF the world. A crotch hold and half.
Nelson served to dispose OF the Turk
the first time after eight minutes OF
wrestling and reverse Nelson set
tied Mahmout the second time in nine
minutes and ten seconds.
Gotch apparently did not think II
necessary to try his famous toe hold
once Just before the bout-he permit
ted the Turk TO wrestle without shoes
on condition that he forfeit $500 of tho
purse. After the bout several hun
dred enthusiastic fans rushed upoi
the mat and carried Gotch out on thei
shoulders.
Il had him beaten when | laid m.
hands on him." said Gotch today. III
is strong fellow. but / am stronge
and know more about wrestling thar

Aside from stating that Gotch wa:
the best man he had ever met, th'
Turk had no remarks TO make. He
