Us THIS YOUR FIRST VISIT?
QNrom the Baltimore Sunl

strangers tell us 1t is fact that after
the Iolmalit!es of an Introduction to an
Eastern Shoreman at his own horne, all
ways follows the question: rs this
Your first visit to the Eastern Shore?''
me origin of this custom was set forth
ny an eastern Shoreman at u Cincin-
natl banquet at Newport, r. l., some
years ago, when he was twitted about
ms popularity of his countrymen.
The story is Il true one
When General Lafayette accepted The
invitation of Congress in 1924 and came
TO this country as the nations guest.
Il great reception was rendered him at
the Statehouse in Annapolis, official, by
lhe state. The Governor of Maryland
at that time was an Eastern Shore
farmer. who lived on his farm except
when the General Assembly was in scs-
sion, or when he was called TO Annapo-
lis at other times on Official business.
or course, his presence was desira-
Bile at the Layfaycuc reception. HIS
junction, indeed, was to Introduce the
distinguished guest. The Governor
head of the bay, clad in a home spun
suit, made on his own looms. The
roads and weather being worse than he
calculated for when he left home, ho
did not reach the Capital until the day
OF the reception, and after all the other
notaDllitieS were there and waiting for
the Governor, who was hastily ushercd
into the Senate chamber, his clothes
sphshed With mud just as he was
when he dismounted. The distinguish
ell people in splendid array in the
chamber confused the plain and pa
triotic Eastern Shore Governor, and
when he was presented to Lafayette
he could think OF nothing TO say for
the moment. lie blurted out: us this

country, Gcneral?" And from the day
the Eastern Shore Governor made that
faux rus to this, The question is re-
ligiously periodically and proudly put
to the stranger when his footsteps first
touch the Eastern Shore strand.

Technical training in any profession Is
q good and necessary thing, but it must be
supplemented by careful and constant prac-
tice In order To eliminate the chances OF
danger, especially on board ship.
In 1863 tho United States frigate b. was
cruising off the Virginian coast under the
command Of Captain II. Captain II. had
under his charge n number of young and
enthusiastic midshipmen, graduates of the
naval college at Annapolis.
It was his custom to have them take the
position Of the ship Mt noon each day when
be took his own observations. Very often
it happened that their calculations did not
tally with his, but this only made HIM the
more anxious to exercise them in so ncces-
sary mathematical problem.
One day he was sitting I'm his cabin, as
usual, mt noon, after he had completed his
calculations, and waiting for his "mid-
dies" to bring in theirs. The first came in

LlNcoLN'S PRIVATE CAR.
The War Relic Is Nov Abandoned and
Consigaked to Decay.

The war car Of President Lincoln, the
ono in which Lincoln mado his visits to
the army in the Virginia campaigns, In
which bo held consultations with Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan and other leaders, and
In which finally hc was borne to his last
resting place, Ia now abandoned and left
o. decay in an out Of the way corner in the
Union Pacific car shops at Omaha. Tho
most magnificent car on the iron rails in
/ ITS time, its now cracked, weather beaten
sides, Its shattered windows, rusty brass
ratings and bare interior offer mournful
contrast to its departed grandeur.
The car was built specially for Mr.. Lin
coin in the military car shops at Alexan-
dria early In 1864. 1t was ~ feet long by
81 feet wide, and was divided into three
compartments. The entrance was by n
door that opened at one end into narrow
corridor extending the entire length OF the
car. From this passagoway doors opened
into the three compartments. The one at
the end Of the car was larger than the 9TH
ers. This was Mr.. Lincolns Office and
study. 1t was furnished with tables and q
sofa and reclining chairs. The sofa was n
combination affair, made Of unusual length
to correspond 10 Mr.. Lincoln's s ply sical re-
| quirements. 1t was used as u sofa or
lounge during IHe uhy, Du1 db h'Bno Couiu

The walls were furnished with rich cord
I'd crimson silk upholstery, and the frieze
displayed painted panels Of the coats OF
arms of the several states. The cur was
adapted to the exigencies Of the times, be-
| ing ironclad, armor plate being set be-
| tween the inner and outer walls TO make 10
! bulletproof. From this circumstance it's
weight was so great that 1t was thought
necessary to place 1t upon four four wheel

chased it with other cars and equipment,

with MIR. Lincoln and the fact that 1t was
one of tho finest private cars then in exist

Little Lads and Lassies In 70 scheren-

Wandering through the crooked streets
oe the little fishing village OF Scheuenin-
gen, from which the famous Dutch water
ing place takes its name, / heard merry
shouts of laughter issuing from u garden
inclosed by high walls The gate was open
and l peeped in. My curiosity was re-
warded by one of the sweetest sights l
have ever witnessed. About 20 little Dutch
maids and lads, their ages varying from
to @ years, were enjoying game OF ordi-
nary American tag, while n little attendant
of about IL years stood by busily knitting
while sho watched them. A bell sounded.
They all fell in line behind the little knit
ter and walked demurely, two by two, in
q serpentine line around the garden and
disappeared in long hall, ut the door Of
which each child took of it's little wooden
shoes and held them In ono hand behind
its back.
In the meantime the principal came out
and invited me by signs to enter. In tho
hall noticed the little sabots laid orderly
side by side. There were three halls in
this kindergarten. In each were 90 chill
dren between the ages Of B and years,
