Little Herbert and Mary Pickup
have come Into the world with a
"bang'' that Is still reverberating
throughout civilized medical circles
And the sagest doctors and scient

though the Institution of birth Is
aliout the oldest thing we know, yet
this pair of babies has rung a brand
new change on It.
In all medical history storks have
never Iwhaved this way before.
"Did ons stork bring the two
babies, six weeks apart, or was
It two storks, bringing a baby

That's the query the doctors are
trying to settle.

that Mrs. Nellie Pickup told nii\ as

| "It was on February 24 of this
' year that Herbert, the first baby,
was bom He was a fine, healthy
i little fellow. I rested a couple of
weeks, and then 1 felt so well that
I got up again and began to watch
household affairs.
"Hut one day the doctor told me
I would have to go to the hospital
for an operation. 1 told him I
thought that foolish—that I knew
the stork was coming to our chim
ney again, but the doctors couldn't
believe It. They said It was lmi>os
slble. You see, they were working
by their doctor books, and not by
my condition.
"81* weeks passed. I wasn't feel
ing very well on the morning of
April 4 My husband went to busi

and 9 years old. went out to play be

she came In. An hour later Mary
Catherine was born, and she's Just
as fine a baby us I ever saw. Look

And Mary answered a chuck un

gle
Mrs. Pickup then showed me a
statement signed by l>r. T. T. Mack
lln of Whalley, Kngland, who at
tended the case, asserting that the
whole puzzling thing was a mix-up
between two distinct storks, who,
In some way or other, got their en
gagements confused!
Herbert weighs nine pounds and
Mary eight, and the doctors say
there Is every reason to believe that
both of them will live.
