FEELS YOUNG AGAIN.
QUADRUPLETS' GRANDMA.
GOVERNMENT MAKES GRANT
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
DUNEDUST, this day.
Word has been received that the Government has made a grant of £75 for the care and maintenance of the Johnson quadruplets. A correspondent of an English newspaper recently visited tho little village of Ham, near Deal, in Kent, to tell Mrs. Johnson, sen., that quadruplets had been born to her daughter-in-law in Duncdin. The grandmother was overjoyed. "Well, I never," she said with a chuckle. "She will have her hands full. Whatever will the poor girl do now? I have got 20 grandchildren and live greatgrandchildren. I and my husband have lived in this cottage for 41 years. My husband is 77, but still works on a farm. I am 75, but your good news makes me feel young again."
