A Long.Lost Brother.

IT does not often occur that brothers
live twenty eight years in ignorance of
each others whereabouts and then are
brought together by chance. A case of
this kind, however, has just come to light
In Cincinnati. DR.. Stark, who lives on
Seventh street, near Walnut, has recently
found q brother who has been lost for over
quarter of century. DR.. Stark was born
in the City of Turn0Mitz, Prussia, where
his mother and relatives are still residing.
Twenty. eight years ago his younger BROTH
er, Henry Hermann Stark, for some mis-
demeanor, was chastised by his father.
Henry was eight years of age at that time,
and, boy-like, took the punishment 60
much to heart that he ran away from
home. No one could obtain trace Of the
missing lad, though diligent search was
made. Ten years later his folks heard he
was living in Paris with family named
Papenheim, who had adopted him and
were educating him as one of their chill
dren. A few years later all trace Of the
runaway was again lost and when the
elder Stark died, about nine years ago,
his widow found herself, under the law
Of Prussia, unable to sell any of her de-
ceased husbands property on account Of
the lost son. Meanwhile DR.. Stark had
grown to manhood and came to America
To Cincinnati, in fact-and began the
practice of medicin since which time
he has, by his skill and energy, built up a
large business among the Israelites of the
city. About ten months ago he fell in
with gentleman resident Of London, who
was at the time visiting Cincinnati. The
two became intimate, and in the course
Of their conversation one day the English
man asked him If he had brother living
in London. DR.. Stark answered in the
negative. The Englishman said that he
asked for the reason that he knew q ply.
stefan in London who looked as much
like DR.. Stark as though they were broth.
ers. When the Englishman went back to
London he carried with him photograph
of DR.. Stark, for the purpose Of showing
it to the London physician whom he EN-.
ployed professionally in his family. The
physicians name, by the way, was Henry
Hermann. Three months ago DR.. Her
mann wrote to DR.. Stark, and asked f0l
history of his family and pedigree. DR.
Stark replied, setting forth in full hi!
family history, and among other thing
narrated the story of his lost brother. By
return mail he received letter from DR.
Hermann, in which he stated that he wa
the lost brother, and that he would i'm
mediately visit his mother in Prussia
That visit has been made, and he is nov
en- route to this country on visit to DR.

judge Pitman's Pet Lamb.

JUDGE PITMAN q short time ago bought
. pet lamb for his little children to play
with. 1t was pretty gOOd-sized lamb,
and strong and vigorous, but the Judge
said he preferred that kind, because the
children would be less likely to hurt it.
On the day that it came home they turned
it out into the front yard, where it strayed
about, nibbling the grass, while the Judge
tied up his geraniums. Mrs. Pitman
had the children in the house, and she
was reading to them from q book de-
scription of the characteristics of lambs.
The account said: "The lamb is one of
the most playful and innocent of ami
mails. So kind and meek is it that its
name has for centuries been the synonym
of gentleness and sweetness of DISPOSE
ton. II never Injuries any one, and when
it Is attacked it always suffers humbly
and in silence. There is something SO
besutiful about the gentle little animal
that" -
Just at this point Mrs. Pitman was in
terrupted by the voice of the Judge COM
ing from the front yard. 1t sounded as
if he were in distress of some kind. The
whole family flew out upon the porch, and
there they saw that the pet lamb, whose
name was synonym Of gentleness, en-
gagged in butting the Judge. 1t would
butt him in the rear and knock him over
and then it would butt him on the legs.
and batter him on the ribs, and plunge
its head into his stomach, and jam its
skull against his chest. When he rose
it butted his shins, and when he stopped
over to rub them it butted his head. Then
it butted him generally wherever chance
presented itself, and when it had doubled
the Judge all up under the NORWAY maple
it butted down three rose-bushes, butted q
plaster garden.vase to fragments, buttetl
two palings off the fence and danced off
down the street, butting at the tree-boxes,
the hitching. posts and the northwest wind.
Mr.. Potter finally knocked it on the
head with club, and brought it home to
the Judge, and subsequently. when they
had the hind-leg for dinner, the Judge OBJ
served to Mrs. Pitman that from the man
ner in which that lamb cut he should be-
lieve that 1t was born during the War Of
1919, and that IL was, in fact, . terrific
old ram. Then he said he should 60
down and see the man who sold it to him
for lamb, and bang him with . club
