Many Triplets Get Presents.

Governor Stanley of Kansas has confessed that he made a foolish offer a month ago when he agreed to give a solid silver mug to all triplets born in Kansas during his second administration. Five fond mothers have already secured from the governor fifteen nice silver cups for babies, and Monday’s mail found another letter, backed up by the affidavit of A. C. Dunlap of Crawford county that two sons and a daughter were born to his wife two weeks ago. The salary for governor of Kansas is >3,000 per year, but at the rate that triplets are being reported much of this sum will be used in the purchase of presents for babies.
