THURSDAY, APRIL %, 1909.

The interurban railway to Two Rivers
has announced that beginning May lst
the company will charge fare OF hfteen
cents between Manitowoc and Two
Rivers. The franchise granted to the
company by each of the cities OF Mani
towoc and Two Rivers expressly stlp'
Mated that the fare between these two
cities should be ten cents and the compa
nv in writing filed its acceptance OF the
terms of the franchise, and also gave Its
bond that it would abide by the terms
of the franchise This was practically
the only restriction put into the fran
cbise and now the street railway com
pany refuses to be bound by this provi'
siop. so that in spite of all the fine talk
and representations that the managers
of the company gave to the city IN order
10 get the franchise, the companyls now
repudiating and disregarding every
promise and representation that 1t made
This hardly looks like honesty or good
faith or square dealing
We have heard great deal of talk by
the public service managers about the
unreasonableness Of the demands OF the
public We point to the above mention
ed action of the Street Car Company and
also to the action Of the Gas Company
to show that the public is merely
asking these companies to live up TO
their agreements If is unreasonable
for one TO ask another contracting party
TO abide by the terms Of contract, then
the demands Of the public are unreason.
able, bat if bargain is bargain, if a
contract is contract, then i. hardly
evidences good faith, square dealing or
honesty on the part of these companies
TO repudiate their promises.
1t cost the Manitowoc d Northern
Traction Company about $40, 600 to bnlld
and equip it's line between here and Two
Rivers. Their gross earnings are abont
1875, 900. 1t doesn't take much calcula'
ton to see whether or not the road is a
paying proposition. In his announce
ment making the change of fare Mr..
Higgins says that his taxes have benin
creased within the last year Possibly
they have been; whose taxes haven't
been increased? But while the tax pay
ers of the city Of Manitowoc are paying
between two and one-quarter and two
and one half per cent taxes the street
car company is paying one per cent
taxes so that it is a good deal OF a
Joke for the managers of the Traction
Company to claim tina. their tax rate
compels them to increase their fares fifty
per cent. The street railway company
paid to the city 1904 in increased taxes
last year and to cover that the Railway
Company wants to increase its charges
to its patrons about $40 600. A mere
statement of facts is all that is required
to demonstrate to any fair minded man
that the conduct Of the managers of the
Street Railway Company is such as to
fully vindicate all the cordial dislike
which the public bears TO the manager
of this company. If the public will sub,
NIT to this kind of treatment, then the
public is not deserving of fair treatment.

IndividuaIity Woman,s charm.

The charm of woman lies not i'm
beauty but individuality-if she could
but be brought to understand that
fact. 1t isn't the details that count. 1t
is, as Trilby says, "the altogether
her carriage, her manner, fler voice,
her expression; in short, herself-that
makes or unmakes her charm.
1t is the woman, then, who has the
courage to be herself who attracts.
Originals are much more desirable
than copies, no matter how accurate
the copy may be. II 1t be natural to
wear ones hair in careless fashion.
by all means do SO; nature is never
mistaken.
But let the admiring sister whom
that same autocrat intended to be a
tailor-made girl, beware of disorder:
In her it would cease to be artistic;
1t would simply be untidy.
Let every woman dare to be herself.
develop her own individuality, not
blindly copy some other woman, whom.
1t may be, her husband happens to ad-
mire.
Let her think for herself, act for
herself, and express her own honest
opinion. Individuality when combined
with tnat nameless something called
manner is the most potent weapon in
the possession OF the sex. 1t is this
which has given many a homeIy wo-
man a reputation for beauty which a
bona fide beauty with faultless face
and figure mas sighed in vain to at
tain.

Making Pies for Sale.

At one of the largest pie-baking es-
Establishments in this country is said
that on an average thirty one pies per
minute are turned out, ana the nightly
capacity of the plant is 10000 pies.
Under the method in vogue about a
short time ago this would require the
services of from 80 to 100 bakers; but
the work Is now done by much
smaller number, owing to the intro
ducttcn of machinery. The trimming
of the pies was formerly an operation
which required the services of many
persons, but a machine has been re-
Gently devised by which the task is
done almost automatically. Indeed, it
is only necessary to have attendance
to feed the pies to the machine and to
take them away again. The actual
baking is done in rotary ovens, which
are operated by single man, and a
few of these machines will look after
the product of large place. In the
particular plant under discussion two
men are kept busy in the delivery

Absent Mindedness CURED.

who threw stone at a pretty young
girl and politely raised his hat to a

set out to prevent any such thing in

long considered legitimate prey for the
Jokesmiths, is to be eliminated from
the field Of education. The university
Is preparing to open a department that
will make absent mindedness a thing
OF the past. Pedagogues of the future
are to be trained so that thew will
have no inclination to wipe their fore
heads with text book or try to read

other psychological ailments are to ba
cured by the new department, which

cation, and the project will be con-

Bran Biscuits.

Chicago Record Herald: Scientists
like trusts, are righteously to be class
ed as good, bad, and Indifferent. we
suppose. The bad ones are forever
poking around among the germs ana
things, discovering fashionable dis
eases with long Latin names and ex-
pensive operation attachments. The
good search out cheap but wholesome
substitutes for expensive foods and
things. The Indifferent are not worthy
of consideration at adj, OF course.
One of the benevolent variety refer
red to has been busy out in Battle
Creek, Micn., where the breakfast pro-
venders come from, you know, inves-
tigating along his usual lines of en-
deavor, and has reached the concIu-
tion that the most digestible and
thoroughly nourishing part OF the
wheat is the bran thereof, and that
man makes great mistake when he
permits 1t to be used for chicken ana
stock fed only. This good scientist has
experimental exhaustively with bran
biscuits, and finds, them not only an
petizing and satisfying to the demands
of hunger, but extremely valuable as
tissue builders and blood enriches. In
addition to these highly gratifying at
tributes, the biscuits are ridiculously
cheap in comparison with their more
patricfan kinsmen, the white kind.
Naturally, ultimate consumers. for

The Origin Of Moving Pictures.

The beginning OF moving pictures was
in this wise, says the Chicago TIL
bune; Sir John Herschel after dinner
In 1926 asked his friend Charles Bah
bage how he would show both sides
of a shilling at once. Babbage replied
by taking a shilling from his pocket
and holding it to a mirror.
This did not satisfy Sir John who
set the shilling spinning upon the
dinner table, at the same time point
ing out that If the eye is placed ON a
level with the rotating cion both sides
can be seen at once. Babbage was SO
struck by the experiment that the
next day he described it to a friend,
DIR. Fitton, who Immediately made a
working model.
On one side of desk was drawn a
bird, on theother side an empty bird
cage when the card was revolved on
silk thread the bird appeared Ito be
In the cage. This model showed the
persistence OF vision upon which all
moving pictures depend for their effect

model was called the thaumohope.
