Child Has Two Mothers,

Paris.-An amusing story comes
from Quimper, in Brittany, where the
wife of man named lie Saux last
week gave birth to boy. The father
took the child and sold it for $40 to
the wife of a local butcher, Nine
Bonan. The woman presented it to
her husband as her own newly born
infant and Bonan hastened to register
the child's birth.
lie Saux. fearing that he might get
into trouble with the police. next con-
suited the butcher. whom he supposed
to be a party to the fraud. The duped
husband threw LIE Saux out OF the
house. The latter then registered the
birth of his own child. In the eye of
the law. therefore, the infant has
claims on two separate families and
enjoys the unique distinction OF being
the son Of two mothers.

would be the most practical thing
to do.
AS soon as the manufacturer reply

liberalty, in an epoch when competi-
