Attention Parents.

Supt. ElsOn and the principals of the
various buildings, as we'll As the teach
ers throughout the city, have decided
to enforce the law governing absence
from school and tardiness much more
thoroughly than ever before. 1t seems
absolutely unnecessary for young chill
dren To be late to school; the parent
should be just as anxious for the child
to be punctual IL getting to school as
he should want him to be in attending
to business of any kind, and he will
never succeed at the one without the
drill at the other. promptncss is one
of the greatest factors to success, and
it hehoOves every father and mother TO
instil in the minds of their children the
Importance Of prompt and regular at
tendance at school.
We quote the following rules from the
laws of the Board of Education, regard
and children will read it and bear in
mind the penalty Of disobedience.
Teachers may require written ex-
PLANTATION from parent or guardian for
pupils absence or tardiness. Sickness
Of pupil or sickness in his family, or
avoidance of exposure, shall be deemed
sufficient excuse. Any pupil absent
three successive DAYS shall be marked
left" II ahsent from one of the caus
es mentioned he may be restored by
teacher.
Ifabsent three half days or tardy
three times in four successive weeks,
without proper excuse, or truant once,
he shah forfeit his seat in school and
be restored by the principal only on
satisfactory assurance from parent or
guardian that the pupil Will be regular
in attendance thereafter.

Don't fail to secure the Sunday Chi
cago InterOcean for your children.
Palmer Cox, the originator Of the
Brownie poetry, has been secured to
write series, and the first number of
the Brownies Abroad" giving their
experiences in crossing the Atlantic, is
delightful, and fully equal to anything
ever before written by the popular
author. The children will all be glad
to hear of the Brownies again, and We
trust one and all may be furnished with
the papers. All in all, the sunday In
terOcean, which is very complete in
its many departments, is one Of the
best papers in the country and should
be in every home.

trsmely Old People in Eng
land Long Ago.

Not all of the centenarians were
paragons of all the virtues. Thomas
Wilmington, for example, who lived
to be 1O4, was a habitual drunkard,
drinking only London gin, of which he
consumed from pint to pint and
a half daily. Philip Laroque went to
bed drunk at least two nights in the
week until he was 100. At 90 he cut
four new teeth. John de la Sonnet,
100 years old, was an inveterate
smoker. Several famous old people
were extremely addicted to matri
mony. Owen Duffy, who lived to be
122, married his third wife at 116, "by
whom he had son and daughter"
Francis Hongo, q Venetian, was five
times married, and was the father of
40 children. At the age of 100 his
white hair fell out and new crop
of the original color came in. At the
age of 112 he had two new teeth.
Margaret Krasiowna, Pole, married
her third husband at "a. "She bore
to him two sons and a daughter, as
proved by the parish register" Mar
garet McDowal, 1O6 years old, married
and survived 13 husbands.
Among the recorded centenarians
are two dwarfs-Mary Jones, 100
years, who was two feet eight inches
in height and terribly deformed and
Eispeth Watson, lis years old, who
was two feet nine inches in height.
Among the most agile were Mrs. Bar
rett, who, at the age of 116, climbed
ladder to repair the roof of her cot
tage, and Elizabeth Alexander, who
