REMARKABLE CHILD MEMORY.
Lad Doesn't Know His Letters, but
Can Read.

Los Angeles. CaL-The possessor OF
the most remarkable child memory on
record has been found.
lie Is a four-aud-a- half-year-old boy,
Spencer Clark, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. T..
h. Clark of Seattle, who are spending
some time in this city.
Master Spencer. although he does
not know his letters or any words, can
read perfectly the entire contents OF
forty books.
More than that, he cannot be de
ceiyed about them if others read these
books. If he has had any story read
twice to him he knows it by heart and
is letter perfect.
If an adult tries to read one Of these
stories TO him and absentmindedly or
TO fool him changes the order of words
or phrases, the four-year-old lad will
instantly correct him.

In gold was the treasure John Rugow-

will have trouble,
