HARRY IS A FATHER,
BUT HARRY IS NOT

It's all a mistake. United States
Deputy Marshal Harry Bruins is not the
proud father of a new baby girl. There s
no such luck for him, for he s not even
married-which must be as much his
fault as his misfortune. 1t is the see
ond deputy, Harry Holt, who IS the
lucky man.
1t all happened because some one re-
marked to the reporter that Harry
is the father of a girl baby But it
also happens that there are two Harrys
in the Marshal 5 office, and the wrong
Harry was credited with paternity.
They both have right TO be sore about
it, but they are not. In fact, Harry
Bruins acted almost as proud as if it
We're really his baby, while Harry Holt
took it that the joke was on Bruins.
Maybe the joke is on the reporter, but
if so, he doesn t intend to admit it, So
long as the two Harrys don It insist.
Anyway, here's to the baby. and the
two Harrys may divide congratulations
and condolences to suit themselves.
