come Mr.. Thomas and he, no doubt. felt
very proud when he saw the three little
pickaninnies in the bed as like as three
peas in pod and was told they were all
his own. He took them up and fondled
each in turn and thus unconsciousiy
caused the mixup which has brought 40
much uncertainty on two households, Tor
had the original arrangement OF the mites
la the bed been preserved il would havo
furnished a means OF selecting the viii
lams offspring from the Thomas twins.
Joy reignod supreme at the Thomas
hearthstone and Mr.. Williams fairly
hugged himself in ecstatic delight over
the success OF his practical joke. But the
time came for viRitors 10 retire and MIR.
Williams took occasion TO explain TO Mr..
Thomas that the latter hadn't been
blessed with tripiets but with twins aud
that the third little brown mite IN the
bed was OF the Williams brand.
OF course, Mr.. Thomas enjoyed the joke
that had been played upon him and
laughed as heartily az any one present !;
but he didn't laugh long, nor did any
one else, for that matter. for Mrs. VII
liams cut short all merriment by declar-
ing with the greatest seriousness that she
couldn't tell which was her baby. Mrs.
Thomas went TO her assistance and tried
10 pick out her twins, but she too, de-
clared she couldn't do IL. The seriousness
of the affair then began TO impress itself
upon them ami the women started to
make systematic examination In the
hope of discovering some point or pecu-
liariiy that would enable them to unravel

three little pickaninnies from their little
wolly pates TO the soles of their feet was
not examined over and over again, but
all to no pnrpose. Aud this work went
on until 4:30 o'clock In the morning,
when thoroughly exhausted Mrs. Williams
decided 10 take one OF the children, which
she thought might be hers, but wasn't
certain. This baby she took home with
her, put later in the day called ON Mrs.
Thomas and said she was sure she hadn't
got her own child and wanted TO swap
Ior another. Mrs. Thomas was also salts
fled that mistake had been mad6 SO she
permitted Mrs. Williams TO take her pick
again, but the result was the Same and n
third change was made with equally un-
satisfactory results. Then the nurses who
attended Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Thomas
were called in, but they mad no better
success in solving the mixup mystery
than did the mothers And so the matter
remains. Mrs. Williams has one little
mite of humanity which she isn't sure is
her own and Mrs. Thomas two, one of
which she knows belongs to her, but
which one che cannot tell and unless
some kind providence steps In to aid
them, two families will go on with this
unhappy uncertainty To perpetually mar
the pleasure of their lives. As for Mr..
Williams he declares that IL any one
catches him playing or even suggesting a
practical joke in future he gives that In
dividual full license to run him through
a stone crusher.
