POTOMAC
Corporal" Washington: In former article I
gave notice that would speak OF the progressive
spirit of Lincoln Post, Department of the Potomac,
by describing, attempting to describe its newly
fitted and equipped Headquarters, corner 7th and
l. streets northwest / have no easy task. IL
would take less time, less thought, and fewer
words to write up dead Post, or paint the PEN
picture of the home OF that Post for the reason
that Is spritless and the other feHturecss Let
me introduce my comrade readers of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE 10 the Headquarters of Lincoln Post, Al
the head OF the stairway, leading To the ante-room,
stands two fe-size figures, sailor the other
soldier, In full uniform. So natural are they In
appearance that the countersign has doubtless been
whispered In their tin ears for naught. Having
passed through the RDtc-room and entered Tho
spacious hail. all is bright, cheerful, coy and in
wiling. The walls beautifully fresooed, and
show forth the artistic touch of the hand of Com
Tade q. w. L. Strictly. There's talent in tho
Grand Army. Pictures cover the side walls, neatly
arranged Ia groups sinRy aud in pairs, necessity
required; e corps flags Of white silk, hand painted,
| hang suspended from as many spear pointed poles
Ia regular order around the To each burner Of
the chandeliers is attached a bayonet, point down
ward, with imitation cHadlc- burner In the open
end, reminder Of old times when candlesticks
were curiosities in camp The front OF the plat

cannon pointing from each. The Commanders
stand Is an imitation bass-drum, mounted on can
