TWIN'S BROKEN HEART.
Survivor of famous twin brothers, Matthew Gunn died at Brighton, recently, of a broken heart at the age of 97. His interest in life gradually faded after his brother Mark died two years ago. Throughout their lives the twins, tho eldest of a family of 13 —whose names were all taken from tho Bible —were inseparable. They worked together, lived together, and took their holidays together. .When one fell ill, the other refused to leave him until ho had recovered. When aged over 90 the brothers were introduced to the Prince of Wales, and received letters of congratulation from the King and Queen. The sons of a Brighton fishmonger, Matthew and Mark remembered the time when the famous resort was a fishing village.
