STATE FUND is INSUFFICIENT
Revenue Is Not Large Enough to
Meet Full Appropriation.

st. Paul.-The state of Minnesota
had $4,052,75 in it's Golfers at the,
close of business for the month of
September, State Treasurer Walter ].
Smith announces.
Of this amount $1,502,115.35 will be,
paid out October 10 to the school dis
tricts of the state. The general reve-
nue. fund totaled $1,044,018.91 last
night. This probably will all be paid
out this month for special school aid
to high, graded, semi-graded and rural
schools.
The 1913 legislature appropriated
$1,962,S75 for special school aid. If
the entire appropriation is drawn by
c. G. Schulz, superintendent of edu,
cation, the general revenue fund will
need to be overdrawn. This can be
done to the extent of $950,000. The
remainder of the money will have to
be borrowed if the entire appropria-
ton is withdrawn.
Mr. Schulz said last night that he
will have figures prepared by next
Monday showing how much special aid
will be needed for the schools at this
time.

WELL PERSON NOT AFFECTED
Residence In or Near tuberculosis In
stltution Denied to Be Dangerous
to the Healthy.

Among the most significant opinions
expressed in a pamphlet on "The Ef-
feet of tuberculosis Institutions on the
Value and Desirability of Surrounding
Property" issued by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, are those by five
of the largest life insurance companies
in the United States. These COM
panies were asked If residence In a
tuberculosis sanatorium by healthy
individual was considered an adverse
factor In issuing insurance and also II
residence in the neighborhood OF a
sanatorium constituted such an ad-
verse factor. Two of the companies
answered the first question In the al
flrmative and two in the negative, but
every one Of them answered that resi-
dence near a tuberculosis sanatorium
was not considered an adverse factor
in issuing life insurance.
DR.. Edward l.. Trudeau, who built
the first tuberculosis sanatorium IN
the United States in 1885, says:
When bought the first land on
which the Adirondack Cottage sanl-
torium Is built, paid s25 an acre Tor
it, but the price was then thought aD-
surdly high. My last purchase OF hve
acres cost me $4,000. To my knowl-
edge, there has never been an en-
ploye who came to the sanatorium In
sound health who developed tubercu-
losis while there; and sanatorium
can no more endanger the health of
the neighborhood in which it is built,
even If the residences are at its very
gates, than it could if it were placed
on top of high mountain miles away
from hahitatiOn"

phia:
Mrs. Lincoln, Philadelphia, Pa.
Think you had better put Tad's pistol away. l
had an ugly dream about him.
"A. LINCOLN"
In August Of the same year, the month after the
surrender Of Vicksburg. we find Lincoln writing
to his wife:
"Tell dear Tad poor Nanny Goat is lost, and
Mrs. Cuthbert and l are in distress about it. The
day you left Nanny was found resting herself and
chewing her little cud on the middle of Tad's
bed; but now she's gonei The gardener kept com
planting that she destroyed the flowers, till it was
concluded to bring her down to the White House.
This was done, and the second day she had disap-
peared, and has not been heard Of since. This is
the last we know Of poor Nanny"
The next year there were two goats, and Lin
coin incurred the cordial displeasure of his en-
tourage by his fondness for the society Of these
animals.
1t seemed to be Lincoln's peculiar misfortune
to be surrounded most Of the time by people who
knew not the meaning of the expression, 1.-THE saw

ness" Lincoln had often been asked to remove
him. and had replied, Il can't spare that man; he
fights"
So when Wade came in with the demand that
Grant should be deposed Lincoln caught eagerly
at a chance remark of the irate and pompous SEN
ator and said. Senator. that reminds me Of a
story"
Eyes, yes" retorted Wade, "of course; with
you It's always a story! You are the father of
every military blunder that has been made during
the war. You are on your road to hell. sir. with
this government, by your obstinacy; and you are
not a mile OF this minute

coins words-"grabbed up his hat and cane
