1t will be seen that the persons who
are made directly responsible for the
enforcement of the law are the district
clerk, the teacher, the county superin-
torney. Blanks have been sent by the
superintendent to the clerk on which
are to be given the names of all children
between the ages of and is, with their
ages names and addresses of parents
and distance to school After filling
these ont the clerk hands them to the
teacher who makes entries regarding
the attendance or non.attendance of
these children The teacher then sends
the blank to the superintendent Par
ents are then notified in regard to the
law.
1t should be remembered that the pur-
pose of this law is to give 10 every child
II common school education, not primar
lily TO punish the parent Let no one
think, however, that this is light mat
ter. Whenever n legitimate excuse eX.
lists, there is no danger of prosecution,
but parents should remember that this
is no tritliug matter shall do all that
! can TO insure an opportunity for every
child in the county TO get an education.
Teachers are asked To report cases Of ir-
regular attendance To me or to the tru-
ant officer

VIII Try to Reform.

Some of its readers having criticised
the London Law Notes for being 100
Yankee in Tone" the editor replied:
Have our candid friends any idea
how dull the English law and lawyers
have grown lately? Rarely is there
any legal incident In this country with
a grain of fun in it. Hence we are
driven to a younger country, where
lawyers, In common with the rest OF
the population, still retain some boy
ish instincts ana are not too blase
with life to enjoy joke. However,
we will try to be less Yankee and
more British and stodgy for as long as
We and our other readers can stand

STEAMER MAURET TANIA
Had Marrow Escape from Sinking at
Her Dock When Hit by
Wind and Tide.

New York. Dec. 23.-It looked for
about thirty seconds today as II the
giant Cunarder Mauretania would 90
down in sixty-five feet OF water along
side her dock. when the wind sweep
ing up the north river, tore away her
bow fastenings and heeled her FAR
over on one side. The Mauretania
was lying on the northerly side OF
pier "a at the foot OF West 18TH
street, rearing high out OF the water,
SO that the wind and the tide, both
moving In the same direction, had a
clean sweep at her great bulk. About
10 o'clock, with noise like pistol
shot, the first bow hawser. parted,
The next two cables held. but the
strain twisted of the 'bitts" OF the
iron stauchions 70 which they were
made fast. and the nose OF the long
steamship began to swing outward
and upward in a wide arc.
At the same instant she lurched over
SO far that for an exciting half min
ute her decks were at an angle. Then
the stern lines. which had held, pull
ed her back on an even keel. The
forward gangplank was yanked on
the pier and dropped overheard. The
slip was pretty well filled up with
river boats-lighters, scows and ca
nal boats
The Mauretania carried most of
them with her in her. swing. and
when she fnally halted they were
jammed together In a huddle against
her nose. some OF them showing signs
of rough treatment. The oal barge
Alice p, Rogers was moored right
alongside the ship, taking on ashes.
This barge was stove in and sank.
After the tide changed two OF the
Cunard company's tugs brought the
rebellious liner back into her berth
and tied her up again. As she does
not sail until next Saturday. there
were no passengers aboard.

Never Overlooked \ Chance.

When Bishop Talbot, now of the
central Pennsylvania diocese, was
''the cowboy bishop" of Idaho and
Wyoming he never overlooked an op-
portunity OF securing contributions
for the missionary work in which he
took fAch delight. On one occasion,
while attending meeting of church
dignitaries in st. Paul, he was chatting
with some other clergymen on the
steps OF his hotel when several ho-
boes came along. One of them ap-
preached and asked for aid. Bishop
Talbot took him aside and after .
short but earnest conversation the
other tramps saw something pass
from hand to hand. What did he
give your" asked the other hoboes
when they all started away. Didn't
give me nothing" was the disgusted
reply. Il gave him dollar for his

There are some oddities in Chill
connected with the sphere of woman
that deserve mention, says National
Magazine. One is that women act as
conductors on the street cars. Every
where the passenger meets the wo-
man conductor armed with her bag
and, as Mark Twain had it. the blue
trip slip for five-cent fare" collect
ing the coins fully as we'll as her mas
culine competitor and much more po-
Htely. In the. shoe stores all the
statesmen" are girls and women, and
in the telegraph Offices in city and
country young women are invariably
found as operators. And they do their
work well, too. But to Offset this, in
a Chilean hotel or boarding house,
and in many residences, men DO the
work of the chambermaid. American
ladies are always shocked to find that
a man servant takes care" of the
sleeping rooms in the hotels of Chill.

An Example of UnseIfishness.

noteworthy example of high-mind-
edness and unselfshness was recently
set by southern woman bearing an
honored name. A resolution was in
troduced in the state senate of North
Carolina providing a pension of 500
per month for the by-no-means-rich
widow OF the famous General Stone
wall' Jackson. OF its passage there
would have been little doubt, says
Leslie's Weekly, had Mrs. Jackson
herself not interposed. But she
promptly wrote letter to the senate,
saying that the present state laws
limit all pensions to persons who have
not $500 of personal property, and as
she possessed more than that she re-
quested that the bill be withdrawn
and the money it was proposed to
give her be appropriated for the re-
lief of destitute widows of confederate
veterans. Mrs. Jackson's plea was
needed. and now she is held in even
higher general esteem than ever be-
fore.
