UNCLE RICHARDS FAIRY TALE.

Once upon a time there was a Beautiful
Princess. Now. you may say that I have
used this line IN my fairy stories before
and that il is becoming shiny ia the
back and frayed along the edges II is
true 1 have used il before, and viii con
tinue 10 do so as long as I write fairy
stories. Once upon time there was a
beautiful Princess is a line that has al
ways got to be kept on the standing gal
ley in the place where fairy tales are
manufactured. A fairy story that did
not have q beautiful Princess once upon
time might just as well quit bust
ness.
So, once upon a time there was a
beautiful Princess.
The other Princesses once upon a time
that have been spoken Of by your Uncle
Grimm and your Grandpa Anderson may
have been more or less easy TO look at
but this beautiful Princess once upon a
time had everybody else simply reduced
to a thin mucila ginous PAPER mache
pulp. She was so beautiful that every
body that looked at her had TO wear
smoked glasses and a veil. When she
walked down the street the wooden IN
dams and Turks in front of the cigar
stores would jump right down from their
perches and follow her.
OF course the Princes pa and ma and
the court chamberlain and the First High
ana mighty Master OF the Royal Dacn-
shunds, and the Principal Equerry and
Western Union Telegraph Boy in Wait
ing, and everybody else around the
court were worried to death about pro-
viding her with a husband that was good
enough for her. But the Princess, Gladys
was her name, was particular. They tried
her out on Dukes and Earls. and Oil
Kings and Corn Kings, and Lard Barons
and French Counts, Indian Noaccounts,
and everything else, but there was moth
ing doing.

It was the King and the Queen and
the whole giddy court that had tho re-
sponsibility of naming a consort for the
Princess, and that hereafter they would
not waste time sending people around
for the Princess 20 turn down The King
said that he and the Queen and the court
in general would hold a meeting and
elect husband for the Princess. They
would pick something so blue blOoded
that he looked like a package of artists
prepared indigo, and who had so much
money that he had started out four comic
opera companies and backed three grand
opera seasons in his capital. and was
still wealthy. So the King and the court
assembled and named the happy man
who was 10 have the Princess, and the
King and the Queen breathed, happy
that the much vexed question was finally
settled. The King and Queen felt very
bad that they had not selected the hus-
band long time before and so avoided
a great deal OF worry and anxiety.
why, it was just as easy" said the
Queen. "All we did was to read the royal
dope book ard see which Prince had the
best pedigree and the most money. When
we found who that was the King put the
question and it was unanimously adopt
ed Our son-in-iaw has been notified ana
wiz be here tomorrow"
The next day tho son-in-law-elect ar
rived and would have welded Gladys in
great state only that she had eloped the
night before with one Of the royal
coachmen.
ITO think" said the Queen, as she
wept into a new lace handkerchief, that
she should run away and marry this low
parsonage after her pa and myself had
been throwing Dukes and Princes and
things like that at her head for five years
and had finally saved her all further trou-
bic by actually picking out her husband
for her"
"Ah, but you see'' said the Ancient
and Revered Holder of the Royal Snuff
Box, known as Owl-faced, the Wise One,
the Princess would have rather had the
trouble, and while the coachman did not
have enough money to buy peanuts on
the train and was also shy on lineage.
he was great on making goo-goo eyes"
And the King said, Amt it tie trutn?"

Frequent Travel Service Between
Here and Two Rivers.
,AUSES OF THE LATE DELAY.
Little ManitOwOc Bridge has iiampered
Progress.
WHAT Mr.. HIGGINS THINKS ABOUT IT.
The Service Between this City and Two Rh-
ers will be Accomplished by
Four Cars.

President Higgins Of the Manitowoc
and Northern Traction company said
yesterday that he expected the new cleo
trio line between this city and Two Riv-
ers would be in operation December /.
He had hoped that cars would have been
running earlier than that time but the
delay has largely occurred by the condi-
ton of the road bed approaching the
Little Manitowoc river He says if some
decision is come to and the work of pro
tecting the bridge started at once. it will
not take long to have the road in opera
ton.
Mr.. Higgins also said that if he had
anticipated the trouble that has arisen
since last spring he would have chosen
another route.
The four cars which will do service or
the route are in readiness and will be in
the city in ample time to be used ON the
track. The work of track laying and
ballasting the road in the city will be
completed within a couple of weeks.

SUPT. HARVEY SPEAKS
KINDLY WORDS OF
TRAINING SCHOOL

superintendent Of Public Instruction
Harvey in speaking Of the Manitowoc
training school said The county train
ing school for teachers is more than
filling expectations. only wish we
could have one in every county in the
state. They cover a field which the
normal schools do not reach, that of
supplying trained teachers for the coun-
try schools. There are positions for
5000 teachers in the state every year.
and the graduates of the normal schools
number not more than 500 or 600
Those who complete the full course in
the normal, rs the great majority now
do, are not willing to 90 into the coun-
try schools, and do not find it necessary
to do so. The county training schools
giving ten months practical work in
teaching, furnish the medium between
the normal school and the institute
which will give Us a better grade of
district school teachers
