Senator McCain Has Scored Again.

The fame of Senator R. C McCain, of Kentland, and his big and oft-increasing family mentioned in this paper, recently on the oooanion of the advent of his latent, (but not last) pair of twins, is slowly but surely spreading over the entire state. The Indianapolis News has a picture of himself and as mmy of bis children as could he to stay in one place long enough to be piotured. It shows the doctor at home on Christmas eve ladling out presents with one hand, bolding one infant nnder the oiher arm, one on eaoh knee, and one behind ais baok, while another

large detaohment of infantry are grouped about Lis knees. The pioture is labelled ' Senator MoCain, at Home.” The reading matter which accompanies the pictures is here oi pied: It was a merry Christmas at the home of Senator Richard C. McCain, of Eentiand. It has been a merry Chrißtmaa at his home always, bnt especially so has it been since twins were born on Christmas day, six years ago. Birthday and Christmas joys are oombined at Dr. MoC-du’s-fcr it should be said that Senator McCain is a physician. Christmas this year was merrier than ever, about five weeks ago another pair •f twins was born, and they were oldjenough to blink their eyes in j enjoyment of the bright things on the Christmas tree. Bat there were other Christmas jojs. All told Dr. MoUain has eleven ohildren, four sons and seven daughters. The oldest ohild is a daughter, age nineteen. Dr. McCain was married twentythree years ago and he says that he and Mrs, McCain are happier every year. Of eaoh pair of twins one is a a boy and one a girl. Of the older pair the name of the boy iB John Coburn McCain, Mrs. McCain is a niece of Gen. John Coburn, of Indianapolis. Dr. MoCain will not deny that ke admires Theodore Roosevelt.
