with two white spots in front of her
head.

bucket for the milk 1 give her the
milk and she Is very good while she
is drinking, but the minute 1t is all
gone she will cry for more. If I don't
give her more she will kick and bite
everything. AS soon as she drinks
her milk lead her into the stable and
give her some hay, and then she is
satisfied.
We have a horse. Babe thinks II

with it. Once every day put her out
in large lot where there is plenty of

she tries to run away. Then there is
a great deal of fun catching her.
Our little dog always plays with her
and that makes her so angry that she
just kicks all around.
Babe never likes to be led by a rope.
When 1 come home from school mann

tie children come running out to play
with her, but she does not want to
play. She used to get in our garden
and eat our vegetables. Every morn

brush and comb her from head to
foot. She feels very proud. I bought
Babe a new halter and sent her up
north to Santa Rosa to my brother,
because she is getting too big and he
wants to break her in. When she is
big enough to ride my brother will
bring her back again.

OLDEST LIVING TWINS
Brother and Sister Eighty Years Old
Are Students Of

History
Special to The Herald
SCRANTON, Pa, June 11.-Probably
the oldest twins in America reside here
The twins are John Randolph Cooke
and Mary Elizabeth Cooke. They were
born near Buffalo on March 10, 1926
and are therefore in their eightieth
year. Neither ever cared to explore the
land of marriage, and UP to the timo
Of the death of their parents, some
forty years ago, they lived at the
parental home. Since that time they
have made a home for each other here,
and at a modest little country place
just outside Of the city. Their home
life Is simplicity itself, and the four
score years of their lives apparently
have dealt lightly with them, for they
are still bright and vigorous.
One of their grandfathers was the
Rev. Parsons Cooke, pastor of little
Presbyterian church in Massachu-
setts village for more than forty years.
The other grandfather was Mark
Stiere, who in his lifetime owned all OF
the land on which the thriving village
of Norwich, N. Y, Is built. He donated
the land on which the Norwich court
house stands, and also gave the land
that was used for the building Of the
canal at that point.
The veteran twins are inveterate
readers and are we'll versed in history
and the literature of the day. They can
trace their lineage back to the landing
of the Pilgrim fathers.
