At the End of the Rainbow
The Best Policy.
BY WALT MASON.

Il have to treat all alike, Mr.. Tod
hunter" explained the landlady. My
rule is cash in advance, and L can't sus-
pend it for anybody
AN excellent rule, Mrs. Jiggers How
ever, the past rises before me like n
dream. A few weeks ago a large gentle
man with long white side whiskers and "A
benevolent manner came here for a sea-
son, and you made him an honored guest.
He had the front l have tried 10 culti-
Vate all my life and failed Nile had sort
of Bless you. my children air shat In
spired confidence and respect. Everybody
in the house kowtowed TO him. and you.
Mrs. Jiggers, wept with delight when ha
gave you a smile and trembled with fear
at his froWn.
"He had the best of everything whils
he was here. you converted the pa rlor
into a bedchamber: he had the largest
slab of strawberry shortcake and the
choice of the doughnuts. Finally he dis
appeared. and ! noticed that you had n
secret sorrow. Mrs. Jiggers. When l in
sisted upon an explanation you informed
me that your magnificent guest had never
paid you a Ped kopeck for his entertain-
ment. He fed you on soft-boiled prom.
ises, and got four weeks board for noth-
ing. Yet you have the assurance tn re-
mark in my presence that honesty is the
best policy.
"A brass front is the best policy Mrs.
Jiggers. Here | anguish in bitter pow
erty, an example of what the world does
TO lncorrupt1ble honesty, and that large
gentleman with the white whiskers. who
never had an. honest day in his life Is
sustained and soothed by misguided land
ladies who draw their rules Of life from
ancient copybooks. There are times when
feel impeiled to abandon the course OF
honesty and do in Rome as the Romans
do
I'm sure your honesty will never keep
you awake at night" said the landlady.
On several occasions you have handed
me plugged half dollars, and a five-dollar
bill / got from you turned out TO be a
counterfeit. | have been told by several
people that you sell brass watches as

That will do. madam" said the star

of Capt kintz, and will be employed in
handling freight between this city and.
Alexandria and the landings along the
river as far as Mattawoman and Chico
muxen creeks.
The use of a gasoline power propelled
craft in place of a steamboat on the
route was made necessary by the recent
sale of the steamer City of Milford to
Baltimore parties. This made IT neces-
sary to put the little steamer Trenton on
the route between this city and Upper
Machodoc creek, while the steamer st.
Johns takes care of the Colonial Beach

Trenton to take the upper river route and
relieving the power boat from service.

Immediately benefited by the construc-
ton Of the proposed railway is the WASH
ington Steel and Ordnance Company,
whose land would Immediately increase
In value It seems fair to the Commits
sioners that. as proposed, the Giesboro
Railway Company. which would doubt
less be financed by the Washington Steel
and Ordnance Company, should find the
means for constructing the railway. No
reason is known, however. why in justice
to the public this proposed railway
should be presented to the Washington
Railway and Electric Company (which 1t
doubtless would be). thus increasing the
fair value of its property, and the amount
Of dividends which 1t would be allowed
to earn from the public, without corre-
spending expenditure
The Giesboro company is authorized by
the Commissioners substitute bill to is
sue capital stock in an amount not to
exceed the cost of construction and
equipment of the railway and to provide
for the appointment of officers and di-
rectors Of the corporation.

to a depth of seven feet in the creek
and then to come out without dragging
bottom to anchor in deep water off the
mouth of the waterway to complete load

81 have quit dealing with Mr. Punk
man, the butcher" said Mrs. Jiggers. Il
am sure he has been giving short weight
and most Of the meat have bought lately
turned out to be bones. When some of
his best customers quit him perhaps he'll
realize that honesty Is the best policy"
THAT remark" observed the star board
err, reminds me of the halcyon days when
policy was a maxim inscribed In my
copybook. and / copied 1t over and over
a million times. 1t was thanked by such
maxims as Birds OF a feather flock to-
good manners. These maxims were ac-
cepted at their face value without ques-
ton. Had anybody disputed them he'd
have been cast into outer darkness.
But we live and learn. Mrs. Jiggers.
It's the sunset of life gives US mystical
lore. and we see things in their true
proportions. Now that l am well along
in years 1 realize full well that honesty
Is not the best policy. Honesty has been
an obsession. monomania with me all
the days Of my pilgrimage. and what has
1t done for me? Those copybook maxims
got me started wrong. They have ruined
my life. and In my old age 1 find myself
occupying a hall bedroom overlooking an
iron roof wherein the cats disport them
selves at dreary midnight's cherries hour;
and my reputation for uncompromising
honesty is SO little an asset that l have
to pay for my board in advance, just as
though l was stranger in this house.
Il am a man of modest, even humble
demeanor: 1 never could cultivate the
swashbuckling style. which is of more
value in this vale of tears than any
quantity Of sterling worth. You have
known me several years, my dear Mrs
Jiggers; you have had opportunities to
bscome familiar with my fanatical love of
honesty; yet you come to the door OF my
boudoir at o'clock every Saturday even
ing to get the pay for a weeks board in
advance. l feel 1t in my bones that if
handed you excuses and long distance
promises instead of hard-earned money
you would tell me to pack my few lares
and penates and chase myself For how
much would my resplendent record count
in such an emergency"

IN THE NEXT
PRETZELS PROVE FATAL.
One of Squirrels in Capitol Grounds
Eats Heartily and Dies.

Herman Zung, a Bavarian. four years
old, meant to give the squirrels In the
Capitol grounds treat yesterday, and
took them some of his imported Bavarian
pretzels. The squirrels welcomed a
change from the usual peanuts. and ate
more of the pretzels than was wise.
Everything was lovely until the pioneer
pretzel fiend among the squirrels began
a curious series Of circus evolutions, and
finally curled up and died. The rest Of
them managed to survive the terrible
pretzel ordeal, but nearly drank them
selves to death at the public fountain in
trying to quench the awful thirst they
felt as a result of devouring the salty
delicacies.
The squirrels will stick to safe and sane
peanuts in the future.

Ordnance Company Wants Railway.

THE desire for the incorporation Of
the Giesboro Railway Company arises
with the Washington Steel and Ordnance
Company, which has established a manu-
featuring plant near Giesboro point re-
mote part of the District, about one and
one-quarter miles from the terminus Of
the Anacostia and Potomac River railroad
on Nichols avenue This company en-
ploys approximately 900 men. and 1t owns
large acreage adjacent to it's plant 1t is
the opinion Of the officers of this company
that If the proposed railway line is built
many OF Its operatives would buy lots
and build homes near Its plant. 1t is
also apparent that workmen living In
the city could conveniently reach the
plant by way of the railway proposed.
1.-THE officials Of this company state that
rated 1t would build a railway from the
terminus of the Anacostia and Potomac
River railroad to its plant If this rail-
way were built by this proposed new
corporation 1t would be operated either
by that corporation or they would make
arrangements for its operation by the
Anacostia and Potomac River Railway
Company, which is constituent corpora
ton of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company.
The Commissioners believe that rail-
way line such as that proposed in the
bill is desirable in the public interest.
There are several ways in which the
railway might be built. namely:
I'd BY the Incorporation of the new
company as proposed in the bill; or (2)
Congress might direct the Washington
Railway and Electric Company to ex-
tend it's Anacostia and Potomac River
railroad line to Giesboro point; or (3)

ner proposed by the Commissioners in

Object to New Company.

IF the road Is built by the proposed
new company another street railway
corporation will be added to the many
now authorized to BUILD or operate street
railways within the District of Column
bia, and departure would be made
from the general rule, now well recog-
nized, that the transportation system
of a city is natural monopoly which,
under control, would serve best the in
terests of the public and Of investors.
AT some future time, doubtless, the
proposed new line would be sold to the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. and the people of the District Of
Columbia would be required to furnish
dividends for an additional capitaliza-
ton of the company. The same public
would be called upon to furnish these
dividends also IL the Washington Rail

ed to extend it's Anacostia and Potomac

District Heads Want Giesboro
Line to Be Independent.
FEAR OF ITS ABSORPTION
Commissioners Prepare Substitute
Bill Authorizing Incorporation.
WOULD BE OWNED BY CITY
Measure Provides It Shall Become
Property Of District Upon
It's Completion.

The District Commissioners today went
on record as favoring the establishment
OF a municipally-owfied street railway
line in the District.
Failing to approve the bill Of Senator
Oliver Of Pennsylvania to incorporate the
Giesboro Railway Company, the Commits
sioners sent to the Senate q substitute
measure authorizing the Incorporation Of
the company provided the road to be con-
structed by 1t shall become the property
OF the District upon its completion.
In word. the local government heads
believe that the proposed railway line,
which is to extend from Nichols avenue
and Portland street, Anacostia, to the
plant OF the Washington Steel and Ord
nance Company. near Giesboro point, Is
desirable in the public interest, but they
are opposed to the creation Of any new
corporations with authority to operate
local street railway lines.
! In their report on both the Oliver bill
and their substitute measure they ex-
press the fear that ut some future time
the proposed new line would be sold to
, the Washington Railway and Electric
Company, and the people of the District
would be required to furnish dividends
| for an additional capitalization of the
company.
Provisions Of the Measure.
The pricipanl provision of the SUBJ
| sttute measure is that after the Giles
boro company has completed the road
and turned 1t over to the District the
Commissioners shall notify the Anacostia
and Potomac River Railroad Company to
assume custody of it. and to operate it
in the same manner as 1t operates its ex-
listing line
For period of ten years from the date
OF notice. it IS provided. the Anacostia
and Potomac River Railroad Company is
to pay no rental or charge therefor, but
after such period Of ten years 1t will be
required to pay as a franchise tax 5 per
centum on the actual cost Of construction
and equipment of the railway. such 5
per centum, however, not to be sum
in excess of $4,000.
The Commissioners assert that they
are informed that those who desire the
incorporation of the Giesboro company
will be satisfied to assume the obligations
placed upon them by the substitute bill
should it be enacted into law.
Referring to the desire Of officials of the
Washington Steel and Ordnance Company
to have the road constructed, the Com
missioners report to the Senate says. in
