Smallest Shriner

(Picture of midget)

The smallest midget and the smallest Shriner in the
world, known as Major Mite, caused more excitement when
he called at the White House recently than many a
notable has done. He declared he'd like to be a little
taller than one of the average size cameras, being only
28 inches in height and weighing only 22 pounds. Major
Mite is eighteen years old.

Some Wind Storm.

A Mechanic street lady is of the opinion that yesterday
was one of the windiest days she ever saw. In the
morning she washed some clothing, among which was a
night gown. She hung the wash on the line anda few
moments later went out to see if everything was dry. She
noticed a queer looking object on a bush near by and
discovered that a sleeve of the nightgown had frozen and
broken off by the wind. It is safe to say she took the
rest of the clothing into the house without delay,
though we haven't learned whether any of the other
clothes were cracked or splintered in taking them off
the line.

Woman, 62 years Old Mother of Quints

Dr. Ernest C. Levy of New York City, president of the
American Public Health association, announces what he
terms the strangest case known in medical science. It
was the birth to a sixty-two-year-old woman in Venezuela
of five normal children within eight hours. The mother
worked as a laborer in a mine until two hours before the
births.
