UNUSUAL REsEMaLANcEs

II Is a matter of common knowledge
that when a husband and wife have
lived together for a long period they
not only acquire the same tricks Of
voice and manner but they show a
strong facial resemblance, so that they
might easily be taken for brother and
sister. Almost every one has at least
one such instance among his acquaint-
ances. But it is perhaps a less WELL
known fact that a similar resemblance
often results from a mistress and SER
want being associated together for a
long period Of years. Added to the fact
of constant nearness there Is usually
on the part of the servant a desire to
Initiate the voice and manner of the
mistress she so much admires. And
this often extends to the facial resem-
blance. There are in a small provin-
cial town of New England two most
unusual instances of this resemblance.
Two maiden ladies live there, each OF
whom has been attended for the great
err part of fifty years by a woman
who Is more n companion than a SER
want. In both cases the women have
become so astonishlngly like their
mistresses that they are often mistaken
for them. And their voices over the
telephone are so exactly alike that the
friends of both ladies have given up
this means of communication with
them because of the embarrassing mis-
takes that constantly resulted from It.

a New Yorker who knows his city well

real estate value. This yard looks as
though high walls had squeezed the
cheerless life out of it, and if it serves

tail that the shepherds fix a piece of
thin board to the under part, where it
is not covered with thick wool, to pre-

the date of the semicentennial celebra-

ebrating the city semicentenary, the
dedication Of the historic Ard Godfrey
house as a museum and the formal
launching Of the Hennepin County Ter
ritorial Pioneers association.
Every one is favorable to the plan
house, but there is some difference of
opinion as to where it should be placed.
Major Clark thinks that it should stand
in the Richard Chute park, and he has
secured the consent of some of the
park commissioners to this plan. There
is opposition, however, principally on
| the ground that the park is SO small
that the space for the house cannot be
spared.
The joint committee, consisting Of
members of the Territorial Pioneers, the
Native Sons of Minnesota, the Com
mercial club and the city council vii
meet at the mayors office in the city
hall next Monday to consider the mat
ter at length.
The. program for June l has beer

PRINTS A BIRD BOOK
Master Brown, Bird Enthusiast, Complies
Valuable Notebook ...-

Edwin G. Brown, foreman Of the print
ing department of the Church of the Re-
deemer, a member of the Kenwood Bird
club and a freshman in the East High
school, has arranged and printed con-
venient and comprehensive field notebook
for recording observations of birds. Mas
ter Brown is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Rome G. Brown Of Kenwood, and is just
entering his 18th year. His interest in
birds was aroused by the Audubon so
ciety of the Kenwood school and when he
was graduated from the grades he
formed a society with some of the Ken
wood boys for further research. This
research calls them out Of bed very early
in the morning and, wrapped in blankets,
they perch on the roofs to watch any
movement Of their feathered friends.
The Textbook was planned by Master
Brown, printed on his own printing press
and bound by the printer. 1t is a very
good piece Of work in both editing and
printing and has attracted the favorable
attention Of the bird students in the city.
