Show A Mixin' of Babies. Some lime time ago there was a dancing Drty given in a certain neighborhood in Texas, and most of the ladies present bad little babies, whose noisy perversity perver-sity required too much attention to permit the mothers to enjoy the dunce. A number of gallant young men volunteered to mind the young ones while tbe parents indulged in on 'old Virginia breakdown. No sooner had the women left the babies in c. targe of the mischievous devils th an tney stripped the babies, chaoged , their clothes, giving the apparel of one to another. Tbe dance over, it wiia time to co home, and tbe mothers hurriedly took each a baby in tbe dress of her own, and started, some to their homes ten or filteeu miles ofl, and were far on their way before daylight. : But the day following there was a , tremendous row in the settlement; ; mothers discovered tbat a single night !!iud changed tbe sex of their babies, observation disclosed physical pheno mens, and then commenced some of j the tallest female pedestriamsm; ' living miles apart, it required two or 'three days to unmix the babies, and j as many months to restore the women , to toeir natural sweet dispositions. To mis day it ia uusale for any of the baby-mixtrs to venture into the neigh borhood. Waco ( Tex ) HeyUter, |
