Double Cradle Keeps Rocking.

The wife of Mr. John E. Meeks presented him on Saturday with a bouncing pair of twin babies. They have now t iventy liying children, eighteen girls and two boys. Mr. Meeks is only fortynine years old and his wife forty-four. A peculiarity of Mr. Meek’s household is that two cradles have been going since the first two years of his marriage, and he has never had but one doctor’s bill. All the children are living.
