SEEM mm kaoe or st. helps Tsrarrjs There are some bad boys in St Helens. Of course St Helens la not the only city where there are bad boys, as all cities and towns have them, but we have some who need attention. Boys who roam the streets all hours of the night are bound to get into mischief and are very apt to get into serious trouble. We hear of numerous complaints about some of them . and deem it best to give this warning to the parents of the boys who are not at home or under parental control. Look out for the boys and keef them where they belong. Along this line it might be well to call the attention of the officers that there is a curfew ordinance in this city which could be enforced with great benefit to the boys themselves. The Congregational Church has recently been improved by the ap plication of a coat of calsomine and having the backs of the seats raised, which adds greatly to their comfort. It is also indebted to Mr. Ddredge Crouse for a handsome new pulpit Wade Rutherford, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Rutherford of this city was taken to Portland Wed-, nesday where he was operated on for adenoids and enlarged tonsils. The operation was quickly over and Wade was brought back home the same day.
