"Methinks you are my glass and not
my brother
So great is the resemblance between
Fred Seney, a clerk to the police board
of the Capitol force, and his brother
Frank, who is shoe merchant Or
Sioux City, Iowa, and visiting in the
city at the present time, that each is led
TO imagine he sees his own face and
form in a mirror every time they see
each other.
Complication and errors equal TO those
presented by Shakespeare in his Com
edy of Errors" have resulted from the
great resemblance these brothers bear
to each other Recent exploits of the
twins are the cause of trouble and con-
fusion around the Capitol building.
Fred Is Well Known Here.
Fred Seney, clerk to the police board
and right hand man of Captain Megrew.
OF the police force, is, of course. well
known around the building. as he comes
in contact with many people Ever since
his brother Frank has been here, that S
II ON the first OF the week, the employees
Of the building have been taking one
for the other.
They have been wrought up TO sucn It
pass that they are laying wagers they
can tell one from the other. Much 20
their surprise they are Informed they
have just got the names reversed.
The case has taken such turn that
Frank Seney the visiting brother. is
saying as did one Of the Antipholuses
ir the Comedy of Errors:
There not a man L meet, but doth
salute me-
As if 1 were their well acquainted
friend:
And every one doth call me by my
name.

Some offer me commodities to buy.

; And SO it is, he has taken for his bro
ther at every turn People cannot be
convinced they are wrong unless they
see them both together and then they
are confused and more confounded.
Some instances in their lives viii
go to show that the likeness is so great
that they have been able to fool the
wisest of the wise; army officers, police
| men, friends, relatives, strangers, and
mankind in general.
