FORCE
A Tiny Babe
Lying in a cozy crib just large enough to accommodate a doll, in a pleasant home on Locust avenue, in Burlington
N.J., is the smallest baby ever born in this part of New Jersey. The child is the infant daughter of Reed and Cassie
Force, and was born on Tuesday night, April 2. She is smaller than the average doll, and weighs less than two pounds.
Her arms perfectly molded, are no longer than a man's little finger, and her legs are about the size of a man's
thumb. An ordinary teacup will cover the little one's head.
