Through the courtesy Of Mr.. Charles
ii. WEIGH, manager Of the two-headed
lady, . representative Of the LEADER
was given al interview with Mile
Christine at her rooms in the Inter
Ocean hotel When the Introduction
took place two hands were extended US,
one OF them spooned into the other.
All Of the movements OF the worlds
greatest curiosity were rs these Of one
person, although Mile Christine has
two heads. four arms and four feet.
The body IL joined Just below the
shoulder-blades, throwing the two
heads almost back 10 back. Below the
shoulder-blAde the body Is one. and
there are four well developed limbs, the
two inner M being slightly shorter
than those on the outside. She sits ON
an ordinary chair a easy As n natural
person, and her movements r very
graceful, considering the multiplicity
Of limbs She weighs over 200 pounds.
The writer has interviewed many
prominent mel aud euriosities, inclnd-
ing Ben Butler. but We never before
talked 10 two heads ut once. II was a
hard task for rs to keep two tongues
going, hut we succeeded While con-
versing with Mile Christine one expe-
riences q peculiar sensation in hearing
two voices give identically tho same
" There Is a desire TO know
which Is which. Then the information
comes that the head 10 the right Is
Mile Christine, and the one 10 the
left 10 Christine Mile. The latter Is
the better conversationalist, rs we after
wards discovered, and is the better
looking. We wouldn't venture this
much had we not been assured that
compliments paid to ono head are en-
joyed by the other. Speaking Of their
looks reminds us that Mile Christine
Is OF half-color. While neither head is
handsome, they both have pleasing and
winning manners, and are quite viva
cious. She, or they, are very well edu-
Gated, speaking English very smoothly
and correctly, while they possess some
knowledge OF several foreign languages.
She has been over most of Europe and
enjoyed the best sights OF the old world,
having a good education, and therefore
able to appreciate q European tour.
Mile Christine is now 20 years Of
age, though she looks far younger, and
has been travelling since she was two
years OF age. She says she is perfectly
happy and does not in the least regret
her deformity. Her parents and several
brothers and sisters are still living I'm
North Carolina, and there Is nothing
extraordinary In the physique OF any OF
them. Mile enjoys excellent health.
goes out driving to see the sights o
every city, n is rs free IN the enjoy
ment OF travel rs any ordinary person.
The two mindso OF Mile are separate
and distinct, though they harmonic
perfectly. There Is never any dispute
between them, though they can think
differently. This led us TO inform her
or they i've are a little confused on the
s~ingularity or plurality Of Millie), that
women vote In Wyoming. She or they
Immediately inquired whether she or
they could vote once or twice. Millie
was firm In the belief that as votes were
taken per capita she had two votes.
However, she doesn't believe In woman's
suffrage. Both heads spoke simulta-
neously and said, II think voting
should be left to the gentlemen"
just then the head to the right began
arguing the matter OF woman's rights
with Mr.. WEIGH, while the writer talked
to the other head about her travels and
the country In Wyoming.
This proved conclusively to us that
the minds were independent OF each
other. But below the junction Of the
two bodies, the sensations are the same
to each head. Touch the foot to the
extreme right several times and the
