Mabel Cain and Mary Sherman, the
two young girls, whose disappearance
occasioned such misgivings in their re-
spective families, have returned to their
homes and are truly %repentant. So
wrought up We're the fathers of the two
children that yesterday a complaint was
filed charging two men with their alb
ductior. ii now appears that the sus-
picion was based on a flimsy clue and was
wrong. Some months ago one of the girls
was corresponding with one of the men
in question. and on that fact the pa
rents based their belief that the men
were in some way concerned in the flight
of the girls. The complaints have been
withdrawn.
Since the young ladies have returned
and offered their explanations. it devel-
ops that their desertion of the parental
roof was merely a romantic
Recently they secured a book in the pub
lie librar. which told the story of Six
Little Girls in a most fascinating fash
ion. In the romance the little girls left
home, secured employment in stores and
finally grew rich.
The prospect appealed to the Butte las
sizes, and with the purpose of emulating
the girls of the story they commenced
saving their money to launch themselves
all ~conquering on the world of commerce.
They bought tickets to Dillon. A look
from the car window decided them that
Dillon was too small a field for their pur-
poses and they went on to Pocatello.
There they visited every store in the
town andSasked for employment. and the
difference between romance and reality
was at once manifest. No one would
give them work. They were taken in by
Mrs. l.. Ruebelmann, who wrote to their
parents, announcing that he girls had
regretted their ~escapade and would re-
turn HON if they woul be forgiven.

Snecfal Duties For Her.

Even though blessed with the best Oh
nurses, there are some duties mother
should perform herself She should
battle her baby every day, and see that
his clothing has been thoroughly aired
before it is put on. If the nurse is SO
capable thst the mother trusts her with
this task, the parent Should make it a
rule to inspect the little ones body
every day to see if there are any spots
or rough places that need attention.
Bottles and all articles used in the
preparation Of the baby's food should
70 examined daily by the mother. An
enormous number of childish ailments
are caused by babies being fed from un-
clean bottles and sour teats. 1t is i'm
possible to expect a stranger to be as
careful in the matter as the mother
would be, and unless she knows that
her mistress makes it rule to inspect
bottles and saucepans daily the nurse
is apt to be little careless, with the
result of much pain and not little
danger to the baby. -Pittsburg Dis
