TWIN BROTHERS in SURPRISE

Trenton, N. J.-"My brother sat for
my suit and sat for his, and we were
both surprised when each Of us re-
ceived for a birthday present the very
same suit of clothes that we sat for,
thinking it was for the other fellow"
That is how Coroner d. v. Bower
described the manner in which he and
his twin brother, John r. D. Bower.
celebrated the sixty-third anniversary
of their birth. John has been cor.
oner of Mercer county as frequently
as the law would allow since he came
of voting age, but just at present, the
law having required him to lay off for
a term, his brother Dan has the job,
merely for the sake of keeping it in
the family.
The Bower twins are so diminutive
in stature, SO sunny Of countenance
and SO good natured Of disposition
that no one would suspect that they
had passed the three score mark. The
birthday surprise, was prepared by
Daniels daughter, who got her father
to be measured for a stylish suit of
clothes, which she told him We're to be
her Uncle Johns birthday present
Then she got her Uncle John to be
measured for a suit of clothes which
she told him were to be her fathers
birthday present. AS asmatter of fact
each was measured for his own suit Of
clothes, but that wouldn't have made
any difference, for the Bower brothers
are identical in size as we'll ,as loks
and either suit would fit either man.
