for the 1900. model diaries to do the
milking of 5000 registered Holstein

The milk had to be cooled to the same

Prince of Wales was said TO have his
exact counterpart in the car Of Rus
STA. Age has made great difference
in their appearance. Viewed apart
there was certain facial resemblance,
but on close inspection the difference
was too obvious TO permit any mis-
take of identity.
One of the most recent of these
cases is a double of the German en-
peror. certain Herr Nitschke. who
follows the humble calling of a Chin
ney sweep in a small German town.
On one occasion. it is said, Herr
Nitschke took part in some amateur
theatricals. and the audience was so
led away by his striking likeness to
the emperor that they cheered and ap-
plauded vociferously, quite believing
that the kaiser had condescended TO
play in the performance. This story
is less unlikely than it may seem when
one considers the kaiser's we'll known
fondness for theatricals.
A few years ago. when King George,
then Prince Of Wales. was staying ut
a German watering place, q tailor of
the locality, suddenly waking up to the
fact that he was rather like his majes-
ty, had his muStache and beard trim
med just like the kings, copied his
style of dress as nearly as possible
J and boldly sailed forth into the town.
His reception was all that he desired,
| but the incident displeased King
/ George not little. Next day the am
! bilious tailor received visit from a
| police officer, with a mild recommen-
dalton to alter his appearance some
what or else leave the town. He chose
the latter.
The late President Faure of France,
too, had double. who deliberately
laid himself out to be mistaken for
the head Of the republic. He used to
stroll up and down the Champs
Elysees at about the time of day
when the president took his constitu
tionaI there. and when. as happened
more than once. the two came face to
face it is said that President Faure
was by far the most disconnected of
( the two.
There is man at Los Angeles, Cal.
who looks so much like exPresident
Roosevelt that he is often taken for

Huddleston is the name Of the colo

ager of a mining and milling company
of Los Angeles and travels extensive
ly in the interests OF the firm. While
away from his native city he finds
himself subject to the annoying gaze OF
crowds of people. who either mistake
him for Roosevelt or constantly remark
upon the striking resemblance.
Huddleston is the same height and

keen eyes, prominent nose and heavy
