he was passing the handsomely fitted
jewelry store of H. s. Hurlbut e. Co.

the Hon. Thomas, and he placed the
chronometer in Mr.. Hurlbut's hands. A
brief inspection showed that the watch
needed cleaning, and Mr.. Hurlbut prom

There IL, 1t is true, a good rsason why
Repu blioans should be more active In OPP

indeed there are two reasons. One is
that the very foundation stone Of the

The truancy law passed by the last
legislature seems to have its share of
loop-holes. One is the clause which
leaves the enforcement discretionary In q
degree with the school com mittees of the
towns, SO that In any case where they
deem 1t for the betterment o a child and
Its family they can allow the child to con-
tinue work, even though they make the
Others work. In Sanford there was lit.
tie excitement over the enforcement and
the committee tried to have the children
all taken out of the mills. Though in the
cities the law Is not being enforced at the
mills, in some Of the smaller towns it Ia
doin @ much good. The school commit
tess In some places have ruled that none
of the scholars shall work'in the factories.
1t Is thought among those interested that
some change will be made in the present
law at the next term Of the Legislature
SO that there will be no conflict bstween
1t and the child labor law of the factories.
