MIXED UP THE BABIES.
Two Mothers Are Unable to Distinguish
Their Progeny.
THAT'S my babyW

Two Mothers Are Unable to Distinguish
Their Progeny.
That's my babyw
''Its not, it's mine!"
"No, it isn't; this is yoursl"
And so the conversation ran for several
minutes,
Mrs. Patrick Collins and Mrs. ohm Hous-
ton, who both live at 1876 Delaney street,
found their babies missing when they re-
turned from market, and, after search
filled with thrilling incidents, found the two
babies in the bed of young man who
drives an iee-eart, and who rents 81 Boa
week room from Mrs. Collins.
Both babies were perfectly nude, and both
women claimed the same child.
Both were born on the 2Sth of May last,
both wer boys, both had brown eyes, and
each weighed 11h pounds; Each mother
was jealous of the other. and each claimed
that her child was the best looking.
The little incident caused no end of talk
in the house, and both Mrs. Collins and
Mrs. Houston received congratulations and
teasings galore. which they took in perfect
good nature until the last bit of pleasantly,
which proved too much for them.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Collins and Mrs.
Houston left the cherubs sleeping and
started out to do the days marketing.
They both asked Mrs. Commitzky, who
lives on the SScOHQ uOOI, W nave an eye
out for the children.
Mrs. Commitzky afterward found that
she herself had 10 60 out; so, after taking
a look at the sleeping beauties, she decided
that they would be all right until their
mothers returned, and went about her
business.
IL was only half an hour from the time
Mrs COmmitZky went away until the
mothers returned and found their babies
missing.
When the sweet little darlings were found
placidly sleeping, every woman on the
block was brought in to give her opinion as
to which was which.
No one. however, could tell one baby
from the other. and things looked as though
the whole business was going to result in
very interesting fight.
Matters were finally quieted down a bit
and Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Houston both
took a child, though the latter was sure she
had not got the right one.
During the argument both babies began
to cry. IN
way he cries - shouted Mrs. Houston.
Get out; you're crazy"
''I'll have that child If have to steal 1t,
replied Mrs. Houston, and then Mr.. Hickey,
who owns milk route, came TO the assist
an ee of the women.
"Let both the mothers go outside" he
said. land I'll cover the kids with sheet,
all but their feet. Then let the mothers
come In, toss up a Jenny for first choice,
and whichever gets which, why, let them
have no more talk about it."
After some talk, that was accepted as sat
isfactory.
Mrs. Houston won the toss and chose
her baby. Mrs. Collins took the other, and
both shouted with gIee because each had
got the one she wanted.
As it is both women are satisfied, though
the general impression about the house is
that each has the wrong baby.
just who linked the babies up" could
not be learned but il is thought to have
been Hickey.-N. Y. Journal.

The Famous Lotus Flower of Sacred BIS
tory.
Among the curiosities which have at
tracted great deal of interest at the Cham
Der of Commerce in the past few days is a
bunch of strange flowers, strange to most
American sightseers, but familiar to all
readers. They are the Sacred Lotus flowers
and "Hypatia as he looks upon them
They are oil the water lily family, fact
easily recognizable In both flower and leaf
They look a little like the white water lily
of the Upper Mississippi and therefore not
unlike In general appearance the magnolia
blossom Of the South. The upper edges of
the petals have pink tinge and the flowor
is blessed with a fragrance of its own. The
blossoms came from Hosmer P. McCoon's
