School districts will hereafter han dle their own funds, instead of having them deposited with the county treasurer, as was the case for two years. Before that time the funds . were handled by the clerks in the -same manner .as they will be again. . The reason for the change made two years ago was that itlwas thought that ; the funds could.be made to earn interest if the small amounts be scattered f over the county-could be consolidated." Also a number of districts lost 'money because of manipulation of funds by clerks or through careless' handling by clerks. -:.w.-::z J-u X- -' X f The funds of the various county school districts are to be sent out to the clerks as soon as the bonds of the clerks are arranged.

EUGENE. AukI ll"DrivIng at the rate of six miles an hour with in the corporate limits of Eugene" was the speeding charge entered under the date of July 4, 1881, against NY Gird, who was fined $5 for the Teck leas pace, according to old records of the police court here found by Recorder Alta King this week in pouring over musty files. ! Whether the headlong Gird was -stepping on her" by lavish ; use of the whip in trying to. pass some fast-stepping rig ahead or whether he had been flying around with his best girl In a narrow-gauge buggy, was not learned. Anyhow, Officer Moore ' gathered in De fendant Gird, and the said Gird evidently paid the money to Judge H. C. Humphreys. Those were truly the days of reil sport. : ALBANY, Aug. 11.

"Savarin's too rarified.for LI1," he had summed up. ' "She's too intensely human to have to live np to a great genius like that." With the curious detachment, the power to flash a whole cine ma film in a second or two that one's mind has, my memory leap ed back, even as I saw the train rolling in, to the time In the Cat skill mountains, when - Robert Sararln faced and conquered the unspeakable woman" whom hehad believed his wife, and whose con duct had exiled him with clouded mind for fifteen years.

Dicky, the chair car!" . - .- ; The porter, bags in hand, was bowing obsequiously, .while Rob ert Savarin alighted. That he had been well tipped was evident, and there was also a certain some thing in his attitude which made me imagine he knew the Identity of the celebrity whom he had been grooming. And the next second, Dicky with a dexterous movement, took the bags from the darkey'b hands before the artist could grasp them. - --; ',.-. "Oh!" Thank you, Graham.',' He grasped Dicky's free hand, turned outstretched hand . and anxious eyes to me. i "This Is so good of you, Mrs. Graham." I long ago noted that his courtesy never deserted him, no matter what the emergency. "What news have you?" ti . r; "None, so far, which means every thing Is all right," I answer ed promptly. "You know a hos pital is never ready .to receive inquiries or calls early in the morning. But we will 'phone now, tell them when we are coming, and then after you have had soma breakfast, we can go over." "Breakfast!" Robert Savarin's voice brushed the suggestion aside. "1 couldn't eat anything un til I have seen them." - "Very well!" I saw there was no use combating his decision. "Dicky, I think I had better tele phone. I've had some experience with that substitute in- the office, and no one who hasn't could ever. get any - message tftrough hex head,.80 if you will take Robert to the car I will follow as soon as I'm through telephoning."
