Twins Inseparable.

THINK, ACT AND SHARE ALIKE. The twin song of Mr and Mrs Orland Gaston—Christopher ami Clifford Gaston—of Ringmer, Sussex, arc renowned for their devotion to one another. They resemble each other, are inseparable, think and act alike, and have never been known to quarrel. Each is 6ft high and 20 years old. They were formerly attached to the Brighton Police, which they joined and left together. When they joined the Royal Sussex Regiment, one more robust than the other was adjudged fit for foreign service. This distressed the pair and the weaker of the two again visited the authorities and pleaded that they could not be separated, and that he wished to be with his brother on foreign service. The authorities, touched by the simple devotion, arranged that they should bo together. They joined as privates, were in the trenches together, and have been at the front for twenty months. Together they were promoted to lance-corporals, and at the same time were transferred to the military police. Christopher was wounded, and bogged not to be sent to the base, lest he should be sent home without Clifford. He was allowed to remain, and Clifford saw him every da3 r . The two were granted leave together, and only returned to the front recently. When infants, so alike were they that to distinguish one, from the other different coloured ribbons had to be tied on their wrists. Throughout their lives they have always shared in everything, and in peace time, and when home on leave, they count their money every night to make certain that each possesses the same sum.
