Wisconsin Coal Rates.

Wisconsin paper makers were given
q hearing before the railroad commits
sion upon their petition asking for an
adjustment of coal rates in Wisconsin.
Some years ago, after a hearing, the
rates were reduced under a group plan
whereby the freight charges on coal
were the same from all ports, that is,
the rate from Milwaukee, Manitowoc,
Green Bay or Superior was the same.
Now the railroads ask that the rates
for distances that are materially short
er than from the more distant ports
be made lower. contending that the
group system as applied to those local
tiles in which the paper mills are is
not a reasonable scheme. 1t appeared
from testimony at the hearing that
more than so per cent. of the coal
used in the Fox river valley is shipped
from Milwaukee. notwithstanding the
fact that the ports of Manitowoc and
Green Bay are much nearer. The rail
roads contend that the present a.
rangement is the best, not only be-
cause it is established but for the rea-
son that any other arrangements
would result in giving causes for com
plant to particular localities.

My pa is always wishin' he
Could be boy again. he claims:
| don't know why, because, you see.
The kids he knew would call him names
And make fun of him If he'd cry
And every new boy that he seen
He'd have to HEX or get licked by
To keep from bein' treated mean.
He says that he'd be mighty glad
To give up all he has today
II he could be a HttA tad
With all his troubles cleared away:
But II he thinks it's only fun
To just be ten or nine or less
And catch it for the things you've done
He never was a boy, l guess.
The minute he was havin joy
And got his turn 80 nit the ball
I'll bet you. If he was a boy.
His mad come to the door and call,
He'd have to HURT y the store
Or wheel the balNy e. sab. and then
He wouldn't be SO glad no more
That he'd become boy again.
The'd call him skinny" too. I s'pose.
Because he's kind OF tall and slim
And when he tore his Sunday clos
They'd thrash the sufin' out Of him:
They'd never let him stay up late
Or ever have the things he'd wunt;
He'd have to eat the stun he'd hate.
Or else, you know. he'd be a runt
If they was any places where
He always had the greatest fun
They'd make him stay away from there:
And almost everything he done
Would be the very thing they'd claim
Was what they didn't want him to:
Most every day he'd get the blame.
For forty things he didn't do.
