Suppose YOU could at will exchange
eyes with another person and. after
having done so. look at some familiar
face. the picture presented would be
quite different from that YOU see with
your own eyes. This Is the reason
why some people can see resemblance

see none. No person or other OBJ
ject presents exactly the same ap-
pearance 20 any two people. Has any
one the right To say that his vision

defective? or course not The same
is true OF the intellectual and spir.

must necessarily differ about relig.

School Finances

Our school finances seem to lie
considerably mixed. So much so
1t Is extremely difficulty if not i'm
possible to tell where we are at
The present board is so perplexed
that they have decided to take adj
vantage of the school law which
provides that in cases like this the
board can call on the State Depart-
ment of Public instruction for An
audit and the accounts Strengthened
out so that the directors can get a
status and the voters can act intel.
llgently. From the county treas
urers books it is learned that there
have been three issues of bonds
One in 1901 for $1,000 on the old
school building and these have been
approximately half paid. One in
l9Oo for S11 900 for the new school
building, and third issue in 1906
tor the same purpose for $4,000.
Warrants have been issued until
the fund is entirely exhausted and
there is an overdraft of s147.32.
The bond Indebtedness of the
district including the premium they
bought and the overdraft amounts
to $40, 393.97. The Indebtedness
against the general fund in additi-
on is s7033.94 which is unprovided
fo1 IN any way and in addition
there are unpaid bills for which the
board cannot issue warrants as the
legal limit has been exceeded to the
amount of Si76.55.
The total Indebtedness of the dis
trict according to the figures of the
county treasurer is s26, 573.36.
The total receipts from january
LIST to June 80 from all sources was
s9154.3 81. About $1,000 was paid
for teachers last year and the run
ming expenses for the school next
year is estimated at $4,000. The
board has made tax levy of ten
mills for school purposes which is
the maximum levy the law will
permit. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether this levy on the valuation
of the district will provide the nee
essary S15, 900. The board con-
templates calling a meeting of the
electors to consider the situation
and by hree-fifths vote they may
invalidate the Indebtedness and au-
thorise the board to go on with the
work,

NEW YORK, December H.-Dorando,
In talking over mis- defeat by Longboat
In the Marathon race Tuesday night in
Madison Square Garden. said
"Longboat was a little ahead. I tried
to pass him and he threw his leg out and
caught mine and tripped me. l fell on
my hip on the rail and couldn't get up. I
wasn't tired at all, and watched Long
boat and saw that he was very tired. I
would have beaten him easily. l will run
him again tomorrow or any time he will
give me a race. He won by fouling me.
It was his trick The track was too soft.
1t wasn't like the track I ran on when

who was near the Italian when he col
lapsed. says:
II had a clear view of Dorando's COL
lapse. Longboat was full stride ahead
and clear Of him. Dorando was trying to
hold the pace, but was all In. He wab-
bled and stepped on the curb and fell on
his launches. He got up and fell again.
all In. Longboat never touched him at
all. The Indian was running easily and
had the race won when DorandO fell
II examined Dorando Immediately after
he was carried from the track says DR..
Joseph Dreamer. His heart was in bad
shape and he was In state Of total col
lapse. In my opinion, the condition Of
his heart was due partly to overstimula-
ton. His handlers gave him stuff from
a bottle which they said was coffee. Even
coffee taken in such quantities would be
likely to affect his stomach and cause his
collapse. There wasn't a bruiSe on him
to show that the fall did any damage"
