Mr.. q. Aayes writes to MS from Hal
stead to call attention to the fact that
the Whitmarsh-near bennington
triplets are not the only ones which have
lived to celebrate their majority. At
Edinburgh ono morning in August,
1853, the wife Of Mr.. q. Mayes, watch
maker and jcweler. surprised her hus-
band by presenting him with triplets
two sons and one daughter feat
for which she was rewarded by duly re-
ceiving tho royal bounty. When the
youngsters came of age in 1884, the
proud father commemOrated the event
by having photograph Of the three
taken and sending copy to the queen,
In acknowledgment of her former kind
ness. Her majesty replied to Mr..
Mayes' letter, expressing a hope that
the triplets were well and prospecting.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mayes-the latter of
whom was the mother of five children
in - Months-are still well and hearty,
and ON the Sd of January they propose
celebrating their golden wedding. Mr..
Mayes tells us that the triplets all enjoy
good health. I'VE are all three mar.
riei-two boys and one girl-and two
OF us-myself and sister-have children
of our own, my sister three and myself
one. We have attained our thirtieth
year. and SO Outstrip the case near
bennington. "-Westminster Gazette.
