THESE BABY TWINS
LIKE SIAMESE PAIR
BOYS ARE BOUND TOGETHER BY

THE SPINE.
DOCTORS CANNOT PART THEM
Examination Convinced Medical Men

New Orleans.-Lucio and Simplico
Godino are the most remarkable ba-
bies in the world. They are twins, not
quite three years old, and are our lit
tie brown brothers Of the Philippine
islands. OF course, there's nothing so
remarkable about that, but listen:
Nature has so joined the flesh of
these little fellows that even the great
est of human surgeons do not dare
to part them. Back to back they will
have to go throughout their whole
lives. When one dies the other must
Of necessity follow him into eternity.
Nature has so decreed.
A compact but somewhat elastic
mass Of tissues joins them together
at the base Of the spine. Just like
our everyday" twins, the kind more
or less common throughout the whole
country, Lucio and Simplico play
with jumping-jacks, blow horns, hug
their dollies, and pound on toy drums.
They usually play sitting on the
floor, as under the circumstances they
cannot use chairs. Loosely fitting
dresses make them look much like one
big baby with two heads. But in
doors they discard most Of their cloth
ing, and romp about with much Of
their bodies exposed. And just like
ordinary twins, they quarrel, fight and
go after each other with little fists
and finger nails. They both speak
English as well as American children
of about their age. Besides that they
speak little Spanish and German.
But Of course they know Filipino best.
1t is nothing unusual for Lucio to be
talking English while at the same time
Simplico will be speaking in another
language.
At times when they are not both
wanting to play with the same toy at
the same time, Lucio and Simplico are

The twins were born in Samar

OF native parents. They were found
by J. R. Louis and M. A. Clark,
wealthy Americans living in the

the twins say they will take the boys
around the world in the interest of
science, that they will be exhibited
before medical clinics in the great
hospitals of America and Europe, and
that under no circumstances will they
be exhibited in public.
The parents of the twins, who are
also in America now, were at first i'm.

applause. The cheering and the hand
clapping at the end lasted four or five
minutes. When Lincoln was intro
duced the crowd broke out into cheer
for Douglass and kept it up for sew
eral minutes. Lincoln meanwhile wait
ed patiently.
when at length the enthusiasm
had subsided Lincoln extended his
long right arm for silence. When he
had partly got this he said in an i'm
pressive tone: What an orator Judge
Douglas isl
This unexpected tribute to their
friend set the audience wild with en-
thusiasm. When this applause had
run it's course Lincoln, extending his
hand again, this time obtained silence
more easily.
"'What fine presence Judge Doug
las has!' exclaimed the speaker earn
estly. Again tumultuous applause fol-
lowed the tribute. More and more
easily the TALL gaunt lawyer got ST.
lence as he went on with admiring ex
clamations:
How we'll rounded his sentences
are! How well chosen his language
Isl. How apt his illustrations are!
ending up with: What a splendid
man Judge Douglas isl
Then when the audience had again
become silent at his call Lincoln
leaned forward and said:
And now, my countrymen, how
many of you can tell me one thing
Judge Douglas said?'
MY friend told me he searched his
own heart for an answer and found
none. Afterward he asked his father
if he could remember anything Judge
Douglas had said, and the latter re-
membered practically nothing. But,
my friend said to me impressively,
even now, half a century later, can
recall practically all that Lincoln
said"

TOOK NAMES OFF BLACK LIST
Hungarian Aristocrats, Deeply In

The habit of making inquiries at
private detective Offices as to the
means and mode of life of any young

suitable husband by the relatives of
a girl whom he wishes to marry leads
to some curious complications in Aus
tria and in Hungary. Young men
deep in debt are inscribed on the So
called black list" at the inquiry Of
fee Good parts" are, on the other
hand, put down on the white list"
Five young Hungarian aristocrats
who were involved In debt to such an
extent that the only possibility Of re-
trieving their fortunes lay In making
rich marriages formed a kind of COM
pany for the purpose of finding wives.
Each was to be provided with rich
bride, preferably an American heiress,
as his turn came.
They gathered about a hundred
pounds together for the preliminary
purpose of having their names taken
off the black list" One of their num-
ber then approached an employee Of
the private detective Office and by
means of bribes succeeded in getting
the names of all five removed.
AS all five men bear high-sounding
titles they expected to encounter little
difficulty with their matrimonial yen.

head of the company was to try his

He went to Berlin with the intention
of discounting bill to raise further
funds. He was arrested there and ex-
tradited to Budapest at the instance
of his creditors. The alterations that
had been mai de in the agency Offices
were then discovered. The three OH.

afterwards liberated, as it could moi
be proved that they damaged any one

preparing recently to make nomina.
ton for West Point a congressman
asked the department If the fact that
his nominee was left-handed would
operate as a bar to his admission to

the subject. That official reported

Measurements Of a Gun,

Many people are puzzled as to the
difference between 12-inch and a
13.5-inch gun. Guns are measured by
the bore or caliber, just as motor car
engine cylinders are. A 12-inch gun
therefore is gun that fires shot
which is IL inches in diameter.
The length of a gun is reckoned in
calibers. For instance, so caliber
12-inch gun is one SO times the length
of it's bore, that is to say, so feet long.
A so caliber 6-inch gun would be 25
feet long, and so on.
