What the fond mother can't find out
about her little boy, while he yet clings to

at one Of the hotels yesterday, in cCmpar-
ing notes about their offspring, discovered
that each had a little boy Of the same
Christian name, and Of exactly the same
ace, both having been born in the same
year Of our Lord, the same month Of the
year and the same day Of the month.
