Put in One Bed, No Solomon Can Tell
Which is Which.
Births took place recently in two
colored families living in the same
house at the same time. The unfortu
nate father of the single child thought
he could eff ord to laugh at the poor
wretch who became possessed of twins.
So he had the three children placed
together in one bed, and the other poor
mans horror when he was told that
his wife had given birth to triplets may
be better imagined than described.
But in the sequel the brilliant humor
ist was faced with a situation which
even he did not contemplate. The
children we're all very much of a color,
and each exhibited that remarkable
uniformity ofexpression which usually
characterize extreme infancy. The
conse quence was that when the time
arrived to explain the joke the women
in attendance found it absolutely i'm
possible to tell which was which and
which t'other. The puzzle has not yet
been satisfactorily solved, and the re
spective parents remain in a perplex
ing and unhappy state of doubt. and
do not know what to do -Demana
