TWIN BOTHERATION.

Twin Sisters WOOed by Twin Broth
ers md Complications Arise.
| William and Edward Sites are BROTH
ers ard wealthy real estate men of
! Wichita. They are twins and in addi-
ton are so much alike that people who
have kECwn then: Intimately for yeacs
constantly take Ole for the other. In
the same town lived two school teach
ers who We're sisters and twins. The
authority Of the story, A. NJ. Burton
| of Kansas, who is at the Great North
| ern, says that it is dJffic ult to tell them
apart. The four twins met, fell in
| love and married. Each twin married
the twin with whom he or she was in
love, though a little mixing made dis
elimination impossible.
Many stories, too long to be retOld
here, are related of them during the
courtship, but suffice it for the present
narrative to say that in order to avoid
mistakes William and the young lady
to whom he was engaged assigned
Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights
as their nights for counting, and Ed
called on the remaining nights of the
week, so there would be no mistake.
They were married by the same preach
er at the same time. The gentlemen
were dressed alike and so were the
ladies. The preacher got a little mixed
and had to refer to his notes, but the
high contracting parties are satisfied
that they got the one they wanted.
| The father Of the boys presented them
both colts that were twins, and Mr..
Burton says any day these gentlemen,
looking exactly alike and driving horses
and buggies where no difference can
be detected may be seen in the streets
Of Wichita, where they are known to
nearly everybody in town.
| Well, twins have come into these
two households, and it is gravely assert
ed that each set of twins cannot be
determined from the other. They have
all four been in one house and the
visiting mother has taken two babies
home with her, and if they become
mix ed they comfort themselves by say
ing Its all in the family. anyhow"
The children are satisfied with either
one of the ladies as Il mother. When
either one of the gentlemen meets any
one Of the four OH the street and it
calls out, Hello, papa" he doesn't
know whether it's his or not.
Eight of these twins, for. Of course,
the horses are to be left in Wichita,
are coming to see the fair. At til.
hotel are two negro boys, twins, who
are 10 be assigned especially to wait
on them. COmplics tons are looked for,

at the door when gentleman ordered
i a brougham, and the other brought O.
