IDENTIFYING TWINS
MOUSTACHE OFFICIALLY ORDERED. One of the greatest war problems of tho London Scottish Regiment (says the "Daily Chronicle") was how to distinguish Ralph Brown (now dead) from his brother Liudsay. They were tho twin sons of Mr. G. T. Brown, of Manor House, Bowes Park. ' The twins were inseparable, and 60 strikingly alike in every way that it was hardly possible to distinguish one from' the other. Early in thoir military training their officers wore so puzzled that an official order was sent to Ralph commanding him to grow a moustache to distinguish him from Lindsay. After passing through all the grades of non-commissioned rank the brothers had tho distinction of being promoted to commissioned rank together in their famous corps. In all their courses of training equal attainment marked them. Out of a school of 500 officers they wero two of four officers specially recommended to the AVar Office for merit, and they were informed that thoir reports only tlilfered iu tho initials of thoir names.
Mr. W. B. Guntoo, a United States Government trapper, made a "record" by killing 120 wildcats and 200 coyotes in three years.
