EYES ON WIS. CENT.
Annual Report Due in About Three
Weeks-It Will Be a Good @
j One.
Surplus Expected to Be in Excess Of
Y. $3.50, No Dividends in
r Sight.

Although the annual report OF the Wis
eonstn Central is not due for three weeks,
there Is already much speculation as to
the probable effect of the report upon the
value OF the stock. That 1t will be a
good statement Is certain.
The surplus is expected to be In excess
Of $3.50, 900 which by comparison with for
rner years will be very gratifying. But
1t Is not so much in the matter Of sur
plus earnings that the statement is ex-
pected to show up well, as. In the matter
OF expenditures for improvements and
betterments.
For several years Wisconsin Central
stock was Kicked around and as the road
just about earned enough to pay interest
on the bonded Indebtedness, its securities
were classed with the lowest. Everyone
knew that the road needed large sums for
track improvements. that its. terminals
were scarcely worthy the name, that Its
tonnage was largely Of very low class
freight. and that the expense of. operation
was relatively large. a., -
. Meanwhile President Whitcomb was
working out a policy for the general i'm
pAovement Of the road. The Manitowoc
division was worked up into favored
flour route. efforts were being made tc
settle the lines In northern Wisconsin and
numerous other plans for increasing bust
ness were formulated But it was not un.
til Howard Morris came here on behalf OF
the road and made a plea before the com.
mon council for the granting Of the lant
for Minneapolis terminals that the f1nan.
cial world began to realize that the Off
GERS we're really trying to make something
OF the road. NOV the fact is being noted
that Hhe Freight sheds here were scarcely
completed before the increasing bushes:
made necessary plans for enlargement.
The continuance of this conservative
policy Of Improvement does not encourage
hope for any dividend on the preferred
for sonYe tiThe and rumors to that effec
are entirely iunwarranted.
ST., Higher Glass Of Freight.
A favorits argument against Wisconsin
Central and legitimate argument wa
found In the tonnage showing. In for
mer years no less than 81 per cent Of thu
business OF the road was in the transpor
tation Of iron ore while 20 per cent wa!
made up Of lumber and other forest prod
ucts. so that "a per cent Of the tonnage
was of low grade freight. More recent,
the increased quantity Of flour and mis-
cellanecus merchandise handled has com
PEELED the low class freight to take bacl
seat. The higher class merchandis,
yields better returns and for the reason
that Ii the growth in diversity of tonnag
continues the road will soon work int,
a position where a failing off In any on
class will not materially injure the earn
ing capacity.

FINE TOUCH, INDEED
Postal Clerks Nerves Tell Them Of
Enclosures in Letters.

Delicacy of touch that is acquired
BY clerks In the mailing division OF
the postoffices is shown by the govern
ment's exhibit made in recent case be-
fore the federal court involving the Min
neapolis office. Thirty mine letters were
found by the inspectors detained from the
mails In rolled up apron at the bottom
of q. clothes locker used by clerks. The
accuracy of the person who held out these
letters was shown after they were opened
either by the senders or the addresses at
their destination.
:. Only four letters out Of the thirty-nine
contained no Enclosures; four of them held
inclosed letters, four held slips Of paper
and five of them newspaper clippings To
the touch, nothing Of the nature of the in
closure was revealed, It is seen, although
in the pile SAL was found in cash, $40 in

you've made a mistake in my

yesterday to the proprietor of a
prominent clearinghouse.
"That can't be-" asserted the tail

youth, in a furry. "Iook herel Ten
dollars too much charged on this
binw
The proprietor compared the bill
with his books. "You're right, Mr..
Blank" he admitted. "In take ten
dollars off; and how much did you
say you wanted to pay on account"
The young man grew red, coughed,
and finally produced a fve-doIlar
note.
That works every time," confded
the tailor to an interested bystander,
after the customer had departed.
Nothing brings a man here In such
a hurry as to overcharge him on his
bill. When a customer gets a little
backward and lodges the place I
send him a bill overcharging him. He
comes on a rush to have the mistake
corrected, and a little diplomacy does
the rest. Best of all, it doesn't hurt
ms feelings, as would a visit from a
collector. "-Philadelphia Record.

She always had a good time, the
other girls said of Jessie-said it
half enviously, some of them. Her
home was an old-fashioned, rather
shabby house, where the furnishing
and the style of life were of the
plainest, but she welcomed her
friends there cordially, and shared
with them what she had without pre-
tense or apology. She wore her plain
clothes in the same way-prettily
and daintily made, but inexpensive
always-and made the most of what
ever pleasures came in her way with
out regard to appearing in costly
array.
"You seem to get as much satisfac-
ton out of everything as if you were
Independently rich" said a discon-
tented acquaintance one day. "I
don't see how you can"
"Well, if I am not Independently
rich, I am Independently poor, and
I suppose that's the next best
thing" laughed Jessie.
After all, it is the independence
hat counts rather than either the
wealth or the poverty. The simplic-
ity of standing for just what n is,
without sham or pretense, lifts a
burden of fret and anxiety, and
leaves the spirit free.-Wellspring.

If you are in college, never mind
about a scholarship; the main thing
is to slide through. You can employ
a tutor at the close of each term
and "cram" for the examination.
Have "a good time," and never
bother about results; they will take
care of themselves.
Do not try to do things as well as
you can; any way will do. If you
are saving a board, do not exert
yourself to saw it straight. If you
start to make a sled or a bookcase,
never mind about completing it; or,
if you do, put it together anyhow.
Half-done, botched work is just the
thing for "nobodies."-O. S. Marden,
in Success"

1t Is Easy to Be a Nobody"

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to be a nobody" All that is neces-
sary is to do nothing, or to be like
the boy who, when questioned by his
father as to why he had resigned his
position as clerk in a store, replied,
"The work was too hard; I am look
ing for something easy"
Look for a "soft snap" Don't get
up in the morning until you feel like
it. Don't go to work until you are
obliged to. Don't put yourself out
to meet engagements. Never mind
if you miss a train, or if you are
half an hour late at your work.
If you are at school, don't trouble
about preparing your lessons. "Crib"
whenever you can, cheat as often as
possible, and get the best of your
teacher whenever you see a chance,
and your progress in the desired di-
rection will be assured.

An Appeal to Reason.

Every one of us knows how pain
full it is to be called by malicious
names, to have his character under
mined by false insinuations, to be
overreached in a bargain, to be neg,
lected by those who rise in life, to be
thrust on one side by those who have
stronger wills and stouter hearts.
Every n knows, also, the pleasure
of receiving a kind look, a warm
greeting, a hand held out to help in
distress, a difficulty solved, a higher
hope revealed for this world or the
next. By that pain and by that
pleasure let us Judge what we should
do to others.-Dean Stanley.
