day at the hospital at Amiens, says q

to their mothers, who went away with
them. Soon afterward one of the mo-
thers returned to the hospital in
tears. Her child was boy, but on re.
turning home she discovered that the
nurse had handed her a girl She in
sisted on her boy being returned to
her. scene Of great confusion oc-
Cured, as nobody knew the address OF

nightfall. the other mother arrived,
greatly excited. complaining that she
had been given boy in mistake for
her girl baby. The. change was duly
executed, and the two mothers went
away happy.

He was injured in II game at
