Mix-Up in the Hospital.

Mrs Schulz, OF No. So Bolivar street,
Brooklyn, received the greatest surprise OF
her life last Friday, when patrolman from
the Adams street station called at her
house and told her the baby she had taken
home from the hospital few hours before
was not hers.
\ mix-up Of babies had taken place at the
Cumberland street Hospital The Schulz
baby had been Ill and its mother had taken
It to the hospital. Friday she received word
that II was much better and went to the
hospital 10 take It home She found IT, as
she supposed dressed in its coat and bon
net She did not even see another baby in
the next crib. but the other baby WAS hers.
Soon after Mrs. Schulz reached home the
hospital called up the Adams street station
and asked that patroman be sent to ex-
plain matters to Mrs. Schulz and bring
back the baby He found Mrs. Schulz
grooming old-fashioned songs to her sup
posed child, but close inspection showed
that some one had blundered.s and the
exchange OF babies was made at once.
