Among the countless telephone calls received at the grim prison are some of which an ordinary cltlsen would never dream. Numbers of these calls are decidedly unique, the police being asked to render assistance entirely for eign to police business. And In an swering these calls, the officers always have to give some kind of satisfaction.

Suddenly entering the door, they flashed a light and covered the room with their pis tols Cat Out of ths Bag. Instantly, there was a great hurry ing and scurrying and the “burglar" ran between the legs of ons of the of ficers, prompting him to make a vault- Ing-llke spring Into the air.

Of course the reporter got next Im mediately and being used to practtesl Jokes, took no offtnaa at ths little one at hie expense.

Then a alow smile of comprehension crgsssd hla face. "1 see," he continued, "you must have run against by brother. I guess we're more alike than any oth er two men In the world.” “If this Is straight, tell me about It” The reporter then took notes on tha following: Other Coincidences. R. A.

Two of the chil dren were born within the two days of each other. Although In some matters their teste differ, their temperaments are alike ss much as their faces. Their quality of vole* and manner of speak ing are identical. "When we were little fellows," said Mr. Ewing. "It was a favorite trick of our father to put us side by side and make visitors guess which was which. We always dressed Just alike and sometimes the Joke wss turned on him when, after every one had at tempted to solve the question of Iden tity we changed our positions quietly, and he himself picked the wrong one. "Whrn we entered the county school st Lawrencevllle, the teacher, a one- armed, elderly man, told us to be seated. In a few minutes he put on hts specta cles and called up J. H.

He would not believe that I was not the same one he had been talking to until by brother came and convinced him.
