the old year and started into the
new one with a decided sensation.
The incident took place in Bristol
and was based upon the very ordi-
nary occurrence of the birth of fine
pair of twin boys. One of the boys
was born five minutes before the new
year was ushered in, and the other
was born five minutes after the old
year had died. When this fact was
noised abroad it created decided
sensation. The wiseacres at once
began to make figures and look for
precedents. The record of births
will show to the unthinking that
there is as years difference in the
age Of the boys, while to those who
stop to think there will be at least
DAVIS difference. At any rate one
was born in 1898 and the other in
1899 and Bristol is justly proud O.
the fact.
