JAPANESE BABY BORN IN KANSAS CITY, KAS.

Kimja Majina is the name of one of the newest citizens of Kansas City, Kas., a baby, 13 months old, who was born in the Metropolitan hotel, Sixth street and Ann avenue, where his father and mother work in the capacity of cooks. Kimja is a great pet among the boarders at the hotel and said to be exceptionally bright for his age.

He can speak a few words of baby talk in Japanese and English, with equal aptness, and his parents say for him that he has never been known to cry. He is the only Japanese baby ever born in Kansas City, Kas., as far as known, and his parents say they will send him to school there to be educated like any other American as soon as he is 4 years old.

"In Japan we sent them to school at 3 years," said his father, Harry Majina, after telling this to a visitor last night.
