There are two fields Of work
which the average educated citizen
of the male sex does rot find time to
enter, but into which women have
more time to enter One Is the cul-
tiyation of a thorough knowledge
and a fine taste in literature-the
habit Of reading that which is not
ephemeral, the habit of study, the
acquisition of a critical faculty
which discovers and enjoys what is

Railway Commission Orders Lumber

ule of Tariffs.

MADISON, Wis, Aug Special. |
That the practices of the Marathon
County Railroad company, owned by
Lieut.-Gov. w. ID. COnnor are "unlaw-
full, inequitable, and socially and eco
nomically parasitic" sthe conclusion of
Il decision handed down by the railroad
commission today on a complaint lodged
against the road by Nicholas Streveler.
The commission found that in some
cases passengers were carried free over
this road. and in many cases, less than
carload lots Of lumber did not have to
pay freight.
1t was also disclosed that the company
did not publish tariff schedule, as is
required by law.
Road Is Common Carrier.
At the hearing a month ago, Mr. Con-
nor through his attorney, set up the de-
tense that his road was not n common
carrier. and hence not subject to reguIa-
ton. In handing down its decision to-
day the rate commission declared the
road to be common curr1er.
The commission ordered that the rates
on lumber, which were declared extor-
tionate. be reduced from So to 81 a car
respectively, to $3.50 and $3.50 a car.
AS to the complaint that the railroad
does not furnish adequate facilities for
transportation, it was held that the com
pany should not be required to purchase
additional box cars and to erect addi-
tlonal stations, but must make arrange
ments with the Chicago & North West
