THEEE OF A KIND.

(PEOM THE CHICAGO TIMES.) Information having been obtained by a Times feporter on Tuesday night, Jan. 14, thttt'a North, side wife, had presented her protector .and rentpayer with "three of a k'fn'd," the reporter started out to ascertain the condition of the mother who has added' to the census in a triple nle'asu{e,!.to .cottntthe living infants, inspect-' them, and to disooyer if any got away. At the corner of Indiana and North Clarke streets the Times censuß taker found a policeman, and held him up. In reply to the inquiry as to " Anything new ? " the "cop' Mi'the lamp-post with his billy and answered in broken Teuton that— i* Since der gow hopped over der moon der vasn't so much fun as der vos around mitder govner in.der leetle cottage mit der shteps on der hind side." Then he detailed how Mrs Frederick Sembach had given birth to " three at a time," and all were well. The reporter ■went dojrn an alley, fell over a pair of of steps, wound up a rear stairway, and knocked at the door. A simon pure representative of " der Norde seite "answered the rap;' Having taken his pipe from his mouth, he inquired the cause of the visit.' With some degree of delicacy the question Was asked as to how his family were. A good-natured smile caused confidence, and an invitation to come in was accepted. In an easy chair sat a woman with something in her arms, about the size of a muff. The goodnatured Teuton said, as the bundle was unwrapped: ; , . "Dotisvun; itishagurl." Thenhe turned back the coverlets of a cradle in the corner and directed,<the repdrter's attention to its'contents, sayingj " Dot is de odder Vun; dot is a girl/! ■ Then he lighted'his pipe, went 1 into anpther room, came back and unwrapped anpther bundle., "Dot is de odderest run; dot is de poy.", ' '. Then he walked out a two-year-old kid and i said :" Dot vos'de'furst yon! He comes alone ,de furst,,time. He vos like an orphant now." , , . ; And then, when quiet had been restored, Frederick Sembach said:, '*' I vos marrit tri years. De furst time dot poy came. Dot vos all right. Veil, I tos in der putcher beezenessi I vos in de shop urid'dey coom for me^ I coom over and der Vos two of 'em den^ Yel, I tot dot Vos all right.

I got along mid Urn." v,:;. t ;^--' '.' ■': ■- ■' ■;■•:.■ The three..,were:born within three hours of each other, and they are all alive and doing well. The mother is also doing well, and the father, though somewhat subdued,- takes his unexpected increase complacently. The children are about the average weight. While the;reporter was talking to the father the two-year-old toddled out and sat down. This caused the father to remarks. '--..>' "Ithas quieted him. He vos a kind of a rowdy poy. But since the new ones coom he shust sthand aroundt and dond hof noddings to say. He vos astonished to ( knpw;h.ow,inoochjhejgot all at once."; "And how do you feel?" asked the Times «inah of the sire." ,^2%? , ?; Oh, Ltos .allright. You dond fool a German man mooch." •, The whole family appeared to enjoy the affair*) eyen^to the babes, who kept perfectly quiet during the interview.
