From the Raltlmore Sun. Huntington. W. Va., Oct. 17.—Tester dajr afternoon at 4 o'clock Mrs Walter J Swanson gave birth to triplets. An hour liter Mrs. Howard E Swanson similarly surprised her hub.ii)d. The circumstances are extra ordinal I<es* than a year ago Dorothy and Part hen la Freeman, twin sisters, were the belles of Breeden, a mining village of Bouthwestern West Virginia, laving out ride of town, their happy farm home was the scene of much gayety. and many was the country' beau who offered his heart and hand to either of the U auuful girl* Bo alike were they that oftentimes ta** lovesick swain became mixed with regard to i lye object of bis devotion. W net her this had anything to do with their lack of success canftot be said, but all were turned away until Walter J and Howard E. Swanson, dashing young timber men. .ind also twins, came on the scene. They were as alike as were the girls Quickly, howwver, love conquered them Within three weeks after the first meeting the happy marriage bells rang out in the vill age church. Never, perhaps, have four people been married when brilc* and grooms were respectively so much al<k* They settled on the broad acres of the # oki Freeman homestead, and now each father is the happy possessor of thre** bouncing babies. "Walter Swanson declar es that his 27 pounds of girls are much more to be desired than Howards JD pounds of boys, and says that the only thing be regrets is that he can t name one of his girls for Brvan. but he has done the best he could under the circum stances by calling their Wille. Jennie and Rryana. while his brother Howard, who Is the stanchest of stanch Republicans, glories in being the happy father of Min na. McKinley and Teddy. A great many people have been to call upon the new ar rival* ami several handsome gifts have been presented to them Among the visit ors last night were Hon. A B White. Republican canuidate for Governor. nd Judge John H Holt. Democratic candidate for Governor of West Virginia, who are now wpeaktng in this section Roth of ‘ gentlemen were much chagrined that neither hid been honored In tne selection of names for the little Swansons, and of fered. In case of political success, to rc member the family If the name COttM changed The parent* refused, however, and Judge Holt laughingly said "I'll ba perfectly satisfied If you will remember me next time, though I lon't know whether you will do it or not. because I m a Demorrat and it looks llk* you are go ing into a baby trust." Straightway, how ever. the agreement was mude, and that night, when the children were baptised Judge Holt acted as godfather for all three of the little Democratic girls. The Kalarr'a Wnatarhe.
