BRINGS HOME BABY GIRLS.
Representative Borland Causes His
Wife to Gasp.

Up to few days ago Mrs. William
P. Borland, wife of the representative
from Missouri, imagined she had to
mother only one child, and that a dandy
little fellow of six years old, who de-
lighted the members of the House when
he visited it yesterday in long white
trousers.
Mrs Borland was somewhat surprised
when she met her husband at the Union
station last week. the husband being
accompanied by two perfectly strange
youngsters. They were two baby girls.
Mrs. Borland gasped. She asked her
husband to explain.
1t seems that while Representative
Borland was home in Kansas City he
heard of these two children. who were
living with an aged grandmother, who
was unable to care for them. Mr..
Borland Immediately stepped in and
took charge. He said last night he
hadn't adopted them as vet.
But the two new kiddies are keeping
up the traditions of youth. One of them
has the measles already.
