TWINS so MUCH ALIKE
THEY DECEIVE TEACHER

Twins who resemble each other in
appearance sufficiently to deceive
strangers or mere casual acquaintances
are not uncommon but couple OF
young ladies whose home is in near
by city and who are well known in
Rock Island were able to fool even
their teacher, according to the story
told about them.
They were attending high school in
their home town. One was bright and
apt but the other found difficulty in
passing tests, Finally the duller one
failed in an examination. She went
10 the principal and asked permission
to take the tests again, and in Cen
sideration of the effort she made and
of the probable effect OF separating
the twins in their studies the head OF
the school gave consent. The new ex-
animation was taken in due time and
PASSED with ease and the twins were
ready for promotion.
A long time afterward it leaked out
that the brighter one of the pair had
substituted for her duller sister in the
second test.
