Truant Girls.

Truant Officer Truman Ketchum
made big haul Of truants yesterday,
but In this Instance thsy were girls in
stead OF boys.
For some time past number OF girls
have been abseating themselves from
school or coming in at late hours, giving
excuses, which on their face looked spur
ious. Suspicion was created and watch
was kept and the girls were appfehended
playing trusnt.
A very remarkable part OF the story 10
that their rendezvous was up and around
the county Jail, many Of tho young girls
talking to the prisoners through the
bars and some Of them carrying them
dai.tiss. This became 90 public and 90
annoying to those who live in that vicin-
ity, that information was furnished
against the young girls.
Some OF the parents could hardly be-
lieve the matter when laid before them,
but whom furnished with proofs Of tho
delinq uency Of the girls. they took mat
ters into their hands and said they
would look after the matter OF their
children's attendance at the schools.
Parents cannot too CLOSELY guard tho
attendance at the schools Of their child
rem. Boys are boys and girls are girls
and will be 30 until the end OF time and
they at all timss need watchful eye.
About tho Weather.
Tho maximum temperature yesterday
was 70 degrees. ......
The minimum this morning was 46 de-
grees.
The forecast for this section is:
Partly cloudy tonight and Thursday.

A Happy Foot.

The custom Of wishing u friend IA
hapny foot" Is to he found In all parts
OF Europe, and IL goes to show how
much superstitiun Is connected with
our footgear. II Is to be assumed that
the well fitting boot or shoe, which en-
.bles n person to walk In comfort, Is
symbolicul of happiness.
The accidental placing of the right
shoe ON the left foot, putting shoe on
nwry or the breaking OF n lace, Is bad
sign from the popular point OF view
To tic the shoe Of another individual is
indicative OF humility aud lowly posi-.
tion, vet the Chinese worship the shoes
of an upright Judge.
There is curious superstition III
some parts Of England which advises
that when the youngest daughter mar
ries beforo her sisters the latter should
dance Mt her wedding without shoes In
order 10 insure husbands for them
selves. On st. Valentines eve, accord
inc 10 4 similar custom. girls should
hang their shoes outside the window II

The boots they wore when they scored

An Opportunity for Good Work.

Backfoot's public school will have a
large graduating class for next years
commencement. II is made up OF bright
young men aud young ladies. There
are many things not taught in the text
books. The News offers this volun-
tary suggestion for the benefit OF its
members
Let the teachers solicit for this
class alone, n special course Of lectures
during the fall and winter, from home
talent, upon subjects that will be OF
most service TO the members. Let Il
lawyer talk to them on the law govern
ing every day business life: let II physi-
cian lecture to them on hygiene and
other kindred matters; let some busi-
ness man talk to them on general busi-
ness methods etc, and some lady on
etiquette and the proprieties of every
day life.
Such work would be like the casting
OF bread on the waters that its fruits
may be seen in after years. IL would
be geod work with good fruits. II
would be almost like an additional
course of study, u rounding up and pol
ishing OF the work already done.
This work should be outside of schoo
hours, 1t should be considered MS eXtr,
work given for love FOR the good of oul
Young people. We have lawyers, doc
