Island Of Samar in the Philippines, have
attracted International attention. These
children, born together, similar to the
Siamese Twins, were the big feature in
Chicago with the Ringing Bros, Worlds
Greatest Shows at the Coliseum last
spring, Manager Kennedy, approaching
the value of this really extraordinary as

by means Of an operation to separate
these Filipino boys. Surgeons In Paris,
London, Berlin, St. Petersburg, New
York and Chicago have given the matter
attention, but it would appear that the
Samar Twins are destined to live and die
together, There Is nothing repulsive
