tin can to your tail and send you scoot-
ing?" asked Judge Owl as he began his
evening story.
az wouldn't like it," answered
Peggy.
"I'd bite the boy" added Billy.
"Well, Toddie Pupkins didn't bite
Bert the Bully for tying a can to Tod
lies tail, but he made Bert pay dearly
for his mean fun.
Bert the Bully was bigger than the
ether boys at school lie was also the
most cruel. lie delighted in bo5sinc
the smaller lads, teasing the girls and
being mean to dogs and cats and other
animals.
"Toddie Pupkins is friendly puppy,
as you know, and he always greeted
Bert the Bully with n wagging tail.
until enc day Bert grabbed him and
tied n tin can to that tail. Then Bert
gave Toddie kick and sent him howl
ing down the street. As Toddie ran
the tin can banged against his legs and
hurt him. That made Toddie run
faster. and the faster he ran the more
the can banged him. He ran until he
could run no more. Then he crawled
into I'm old box, and there Jimmie, Il
Kindly lad. found him. Jimmie united
the can and patted Toddie Pupkins unit
Toddie forgot his hurts.
After that Toddie growled when HI
saw Bert the Bully and kept to thu
ether side Of the street.
Every year the school which Ber
tho Bully and Jimmie went to had I
day of sports. which ended in a foo
race for n fine silver medal.
Jimmie was the best runner in tn
school, and next to him was Bert th
Bully. On the day before the rae

Zones Fares Looming Up
Once More
By BILL PRICE.

The Rhode Island Avenue Citizens Association
"smells mouse" in connection with the approaching
hearings on street fares set by the Utilities Com
mission. The is the old zonefare scheme, which
has several times before been killed off through the
unanimous opposition Of Washington citizens who put
the future of the District and the good of the whole
community above everything else
Demand is to be made at the hearing for separate
fares on the two street car systems of the cityap
proxmatey cents on Capital Traction lines and prob
ably 10 cents the W. r. and E. lines, if that much,
more, necessary to fair return the valuation
of the latter's properties.
The effect of such plan might possibly be the
financial wreckage of the W. r. and E., but it would
surely be chaos of the worst the lines of the other
company, which presumably would not lose financially,
but would be subjected to traffic strain it might be
unable to meet. Naturally the midcity lines of the
w. r. and K, would be deserted by the public which
would flock to the lines of the other road In the rush
hours of morning and afternoon the Capital Traction
could not handle the traffic. and disorder OF the worst
sort would prevail with upsetting of schedules, unen
durable congestion and unseemy scrambng to get on
Both car companies are expected to offer the plea
that the separatefare scheme unavoidable, and the
W. r. and E., at least will fall back upon the familiar
old ZONE FARE system The plea will be made that to
take the of the short haul traffic from the W. R.
and E. by separate fares would be confscatory and
unfair Then will come the suggestion that both
panes be put Scent 7cent straight fare for short
hauls in the city and the long haul passengers required
to pay higher fares. That would reduce the earnings
of the Capital Traction and maintain the earnings of the
w. r. and E. something like their present basis
That's fhe whole scheme, and the Utilities Com
mission may be put in position where it will have to
consider the proposition seriously than heretofore
To meet the demand for lower fares may sanction
experiment which spells harm to all suburban residents
and still greater harm to the future of Washington
This city should not stand for fares, and will
not do sol Wherever that experiment has been tried it
has highly unsatisfactory and has been abandoned

the courage and devotion which led
the founders of this nation to de-
clare it wholly free and independent

'The American Revelation was a part

only, successful part--of the struggle
against royal prerogative making by
the Engiish-speaking people; struggle
not less vigorous on the other side of

the American animosities created by it
were extended beyond the King and

Out in the State of Washington there is a great
mountain which the people OF the city of Ia
coma look upon and call Mount Tacoma
The people of Seattle look out at this same
mountain and when they refer to Il the name
they use Is Mount Rainier.
1t is impossible to buy picture postal card
of Mount Rainier in Tacoma and vice versa There
is intense rivalry between the cities and this
titanic mountain is one of the bones of con
tention.
Now there lie, down in the city of Washing
ton Senator who represents both these
munities In the upper branch of Congress. He
would not run true to Senatorial form II his Of

But Senator Miles Poindexter when he sought
to hang this magnificent peak. was in a quandary
to the name he should use to delegate 1t, or.
II 1t were left nsmeless, the viewpoint from
which the picture should be taken.
In the end this Is what he did. He hung two
pictures one of the imposing pinnacle as IT pres
ents itself to Tacoma and one as IL looks from
the Seattle side The picture is labeled
Mount Tacoma and the other is labeled Mount
Rainier. But they were OF the same snow
capped peak.
The other day there was admitted to practice
before the Supreme Court of the United States
Duncan Campbell Lee barrister OF London.
The granting of this privilege revived the fact
that but two barristers of the English capital
had ever before been so honored. The first of
these was John Rutledge. signer OF the Declars-
ton Of Independence, a famous American, who
afterward practiced In London. The second was
Newton Crane likewise an American in his citi-
Ienship, now counselor for the American embassy
in the city Of fogs.

admitted to the bar over here Otherwise he
would not have been admitted to practice be-
