When Judge John Richie of Frederick,
Md. elected to the United States Con-
gress in the SOS by an overwhelming ma
jority of his district all Frederick citizens
turned out Ell masse to celebrate his cleo
ton with great demonstra tons, fireworks,
etc. When the joyous crowds cheered in
front of the judges residence Mrs Ritchie,
his handsome wife (and mother of thirteen
daughters) appeared and stood at one win
dow viewing the people while her beauti-
full young daughters appeared at the front
windows. each of the thirteen accompa-
MED by a maid. There was arranged at
each window large wreaths of roses,
which made frame to the picture of these
lovely child faces peering out on the
crowd. Everybody declared that the hap
by father just elected to Congress was far
more proud of his lovely children than of
the political honors conferred on him.
Mrs Donald Mclean was one of these
daughters and she may recall the incident.
