There are many prominent men who look 40
much like some one else that annoying complI.
cations are continually arising. Mistakes are
made, friends are apparently passed by unrec.
ognized. and the victim Of the resemblance 1.
accused OF doing things he never thought Of
doing. Thus, Senator Hin has been COMPOUNDED
with G. w. Hsckett Of the Republican State
Committee. Mr.. Hackett IL shorter and dumpier
than Mr.. Hill, but he is often mistaken for him.
Chauncey NJ. Depew gets letters and photo
graphs almost every day. The letters read about
alike. and here is a copy Of one Of them:
Mr.. Depe,o.
HoSoRED SIN: NJ relatives and all the people here
in my native town say ! LOOK like you. / have never
seen you. Here is my photograph. and shall esteem
10 favor Il you will send me one Of yours 90 | can
Judge for myself.
And then will come the picture Of . middle
aged man with q smooth face, save for white
- presbyterian =" whiskers, and with a 6rm aqui-
line nose.
ITS my whiskers in most cases." said Mfr.
Depew. But there's A. r. whitney. the iron
merchant, and member of the Union League
Club. He looks 20 much like me that he lie mis-
taken for me every day; and sometimes | go UP
to him and shake hands with him, Just for the
pleasure Of shaking hands with myself. But
the funniest thingI ever had happen in personal
resemblance was when Adam Forepsueh used
TO advertise himself as the double of Chauncey
NJ. Depew.' Occasionally he would get out
poster, saying 'Chauncey NJ. Depew will he
present tonight and address the audience and
then lots of people, my friends and Others,
would flock TO the circus. ! would know Of IL .
few hours before by the thousand kilograms
asking me II 1t were really 40. OF course, there
was no time for . denial. and the circus
tent would be packed. At the proper
time I would be announced, and then,
amid great hand clapping. Mr.. Forepaugh
would make his appearance upon q platform
in the middle OF the sawdust ring, and. after
cracking q few jokes, would disappear. He
would come out and bow again and again IL
there was much applause. And people would go
home. saying they had heard Depow speak"
Mrs. Grover Cleveland has q double in the per-
son of a young Indy Of Albany. AT the time OF
Mrs. Cleveland's marriage the young lady sat
for several photographs which were displayed
as Mrs. Cleveland's. And once the young woman,
whose father was In the State Treasurer's office,
sent her picture to Mrs. Cleveland. The latter
sent back one Of her own pictures, which WAS
almost exactly similar. Now that Mrs. Cleve-
land has grown stout tho resemblance is less
noticeable.
John Boyd Thatcher has a tale of woe concern.

months. I never went out at night / had
