Last summer made motorcycle
trip. stopping nights at farmhouses.
One night l stopped with a bachelor
who did his own homework. 1 noticed
that he washed the dishes by turning
hose attached to the pump on them.
l asked him if he didn't think better
way would be as the women do tin
dishpan. with hot water and a little
mop.
Stranger" he said, there isn't any
way woman does thing that can't
be improved on by man. What's the
use o goin to the trouble o. heatin'
water and dom the mop work when
you kin do it this way?"
You evidently are not an admirer of
women"
Reckon if you'd been treated by 'em
as I've been you wouldn't admire 'em
nuther"
What have they done to you?''
"Oh, thar's Only one on 'em ez l got
anything agin. but they're all alike
You can't trust 'em nohow.'
We'll. now we've got it narrowed
down to one. how has she offended%
BY this time he had washed the dish
es and we sat down together on the
front porch. and he told me the story.
Down the road ii spell is the skule-
house where went to git larnin'

gals lived up this way. and she and
used to come along home together.
Her name was Alice Starkweather.
She was mighty purity, and when we
was goin' to skule together she wore
her hair in one big rope down her
back. and it reached purity nigh to her
ankles Alice she sidled up to me like

Alice wouldn't let me alone. Eff |
treated her kind rough her eyes
would git wet, and she'd look as if
somepin awful had happened to her.

seventeen year old she was sent to

road to the postotfice. She looked at

We'll. go on with your story"
Alice didn't go back to school no
more. Her mother died that summer,
and Alice had to take keer Of her ia
ther and do the housework Every
time she met me she'd put on some
more O. them airs she'd got at boardin'

spoke to me at all. 1t only showed I

He had finished his story. and it was
evident that the rupture was as hard
to bear now as it had ever been. He
was smoking clay pipe, and the ra-

Of his feelings.
My friend" said, don't you think
it would have been wiser in you when
your sweetheart first came home from
boarding school to permit her to show
her feelings toward you instead of as
Stunning that she had changed?'
But she had changed. or she'd have
tried to get me to treat her affection
ate-like, same as she used to-"
She was changed, but not in that
way She had passed from child to
woman"
What's that got to do with it?"
Everything. You indicated that you
had changed to her, and. now that she
had become a woman, she was too
proud to win you back by the same
methods as when you were children"
BY gosh. stranger, never thought
o that.'
"What you should have done when
she came back from boarding school
was to let her show whether she had
changed toward you instead of giving
her the impression that you had chang
ed toward her.
We'll, now, that does sound kind o.
sensible. doesn't it: What dye think
I'd better do?"

Without word he seized his hat

TRUE CONSIDERATION" BILL.
A Property Owner Argues Against
It's Enactment.
To the Editor Of The Star :


As a taxpayer of the District of Co
lumbia, I would very much like to voice
my protest against the further enactment
of the true consideration bill which has
recently passed the House of Representa-
tives. and among my several reasons for
Directing is the very pertinent fact that
Real estate values f1uctuate so much in
the District of Columbia that a man
might possibly purchase piece of prop
erty at one period. and might also get
said property at low figure on account
of strictly cash consideration, and after
holding same and paying taxes for i'm
provements. and mayhaps have had the
place idle on his hands for twelve or
more months, he might perhaps run
across buyer who would particularly
desire to locate in that nelghborhood, and
the prospective purchaser might offer
him several hundred dollars more than
the property cost the owner.
Now. if there was a true considera-
ton law a prospective purchaser of this
particular piece of property might have
the fact brought to his attention that
the property had sold AT such and such
figure. one. two or three years previously
and he not taking into consideration
the fact that the owner had held the
property for the period referred to be-
fore. and had paid taxes. and had carried
an idle building for some time. and also
there might have been an increase in
values in that neighborhood. the owner
having purchased the property some time
before and paid taxes for improve
nents. and divers other assessments.
should not have to sacrifice the property
at near the same figure he had purchased
il TO. several years previously. If the
prospective purchaser should insist on
the owner selling his property at figure
near the original purchase price, not
withstandng the fact of his having had
his capital tied up in the property as
long as he had. then | think such a law
distinctly works an undeserved hardship
on the owner
Here is an Illustration that l would
like 10 advance: Say, for instance. that
government clerk or a man of moder-
ate income has. after years of striving.
purchased himself IA house in a desirable
residence locality: and say that the house
is one of row of ten or fifteen similar
appearing and priced houses; and again
say that these houses when delivered
by builder to purchaser had all cost 5000
each. After TWO. three or four Years.
when the purchaser has paid the full
price of 5000 of hard-earned money. sup
pose that one of his neighbors, owning
his own home, is suddenly called TO leave
the city and for this reason is anxious

to sell his home. and in order to sell 1t
quickly he puts his price down as low
as S4.5o0-and this is not an unusual fea-
ture 1 am now citing-do you think it
would be fair to the other owners of the
ten or fifteen houses who have worked
hard to pay the original price of $1,000
TO have the news go broadcast through
the city that one of the houses had sold
for $500? The mere fact that one
house in that particular row had sold for
$500 would obviously have a deteriorat-
ing effect on any other house in that
row. from selling standpoint, that was
offered at figure above the fortv-f1ye-
hundred-dollar mark. The fact of one
house having been sold at a particularly
low price would necessarily cause every
mans house in that row to drop s.. 800
below the original price. This would, of
course. mean that the unfortunate own
ers would each be the loser by $500 Of
actual money, if such an unjust measure
as the true consideration" bill should
become law. w. r. RODGERS.
