Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 February 1907 — A MOST IMPROBABLE STORY. [ARTICLE]

A MOST IMPROBABLE STORY.

'. The Goodland Herald publishes a story about a Kankakee, 111., woman who recently gave birth to triplets, all boys, and that President Roosevelt was notified of the event and sent the father and mother a check for $3,000 and sent a nurse to care for the babies for a year, We guess that the whole story is a boax, except the birth of the children, and that if the family is claiming any such thing they are imposing on the credulity of the public. Triplets are not so very unusual the country over, and if Mr. Roosevelt was to give $3,000 cash and furnish nurses for a year in each case—which he would no doubt do if in Uny —he would need the wealth of a Rockefeller. The story is preposterous.
