Two Of A Kind

Frora the Washingtou Republican. There are two tneinbers of the House who have twin brothers who greatly resemble them. The legislators who rejoice n duplícate are Phil Thompson of Kentueky and Kepresentative Horr, of Michigan. It is not au unusual thingfor Mr. Tliompsou's brother to flnd hlmself gathered by the arm by oneof IIou. Phil's Democratie eollcagues aud dragged in on the rtoor of the House and tho injunetion thiiudered In his ear: "Why the devi] don't you get in your seat and vote? Our bil! is upon its passage." Theotherday Mr. Horr's brother approached the main door of the Hou9e, and the polite Democrat in charge promptly snatched open the green baise door and bowed him in on the House floor. The Michigan twin strolled over to his brother's seat, sat down and took part in all the opening ceremonies of the legislative day except that he failed to answer the roll cali, liepresentative Reed of Maine wbo has soine peculiar way of identifying the Horr brothers, concluded he would have a little fuu and slipped over and posted the doorkeeper. That fuEClionary stalked over to the desk of the desk of the Michigan statesman, and Informeel the intruder that he must come out. "Uut,'' said the occupant of the chair, "tny name is Horr; I'm from Michigan." The Dpmoeratic door-slamnicr looked hard at the intruder, and would have weakened had not Reed made 6ia-ns for him to go ahead; that it was all right. "But you are not Representative Horr," said the guardián of the House, 'and you must come outside." Just then the real representative of the eighth Michigan district came in, and the doorkeeper glared at the two in evident dismay. "All right,'' said Representative Horr to his brother: "you go outside, and 111 come out and talk to you." As the twin passed out the doorkeeper took a sort of a mental photograph of liim w!th his eyes and said to bis chum: 'TU be blovved if be comea that game on me again." In a moment or two Mr. Horr left the floor and joined his brother in the corridor. After they had finighed their chat the represetitative said to his brother: "You go in how and take my seat again. As he passed the portal the doorkeeper smiled confidently and said: "AU right, sir. I kuow which is which now." When Citizen Horr was again in his brother's seat, Mr. Reed again beckoned to tho doorketpor and said: "Groat Heavens! you've Iet the wrong man in again," and then poiuted to Uepresentative Horr, who was coming in from another door. The he¦wil.lered iloorkeeper looked at the two Hom and then, as the cold swcat gatherered on his brow, he stamniered out "For 6od"s sake mark 'em souie way, or l'ni likely to turn the other fellow in a cuuciis any night."
