jocularly to themselves as farmers and
dressing the part just bit too well. They
carry away all they come for and little
more, telling us all the while how snappy
and sharp we are
The bounder is SURE to flourish in an at
mosphere scented with the musk of this
sort of SNUG confidence in ourselves and
the bluff that has become almost as ma
tionaI an institution as our pie.
The bounder is the prince of buffers, and
he gains his way with us while in other
| communities he would be at once detected
and crushed. He pushes his way carefully,
for he knows by experience the sting of a
whip across his back when, once in rare
while he is snubbed. Then there are others
like himself, some of them quite as strong
as he. in the push. but once his nose is in
! the trough it is mighty hard to separate
him from what he has gained.
And that, after all, is the key to the sit
uation. Gain Is the bounder's star large
or small as the advantage may be he seeks,
! whether social political, monetary getting.
! down the scale to the subject of dinners OF
invitations, he keeps pushing his way into
| houses where he is not desired. and clubs
where, happily, he is never allowed to stay
long.
But he is always after something with a
X,
thing he couldn't get away from if he
tried. And, most admirable of all this
wire-haired humans traits. is the manner
in which he RECEIVERS on the rebound. You
can insult him twice before breakfast, but
he hobs up smiling at noon.
He is after a bone and he is bound to get
away with it, a most admirable quality in
F, commercial life but disquieting to get at

| easiest chair before your gas log and you
Will find dynamite bomb necessary. Ten
| aeity is strongly developed in him, and IL
! you intimate that his absence would delight

! Will find you have a large order on your
hands IL you try TO part the bounder from

ing Dumfries' place The upper Potomac
ports were Alexandria, Georgetown, Bia-
densburg and Piscataway. Half century
ago fire swept through the broken down
city and destroyed eighteen dwellings, and
many of the former business buildings. Tho
ruins are now scarcely discernibie, grass
and corn growing over them.
Inc oldest citizeno of Dumfries is Mr. Wa

all my life and can remember as far bacl-
as When was four years old. Even then
DunIfles was ruined town. Then the
great hre came and cleaned up what was
left of the town. The fire started In a
house that stood where that apple tree ven
der is growing. l don't know the year the
hre burned us out, though It burned orr
house, too but It was about flfty years
ago There were big houses in these fields
IN those days. You see the straight and
narrow lanes that lead between these
through these parcels of ground? Well
they were streets long, long ago When
ships used to como and go in this creek
and the stage coaches with passengers and
the man used TO go through here. this was
a busting sort of place"

ledger of Richard Dunlop, leading elgh-
teenth century merchant Under date of
January 81, l7S4, there is this interesting
entry: Cash TO Gen. Washington Ct shil-
lings. 1t would appear that Washington,
probably travelling between Fredericksburg
and Mount Vernon became temporarily en-
harrassed and borrowed a small sum from
his friend Dunlop. Mr.. Merchant has the
great key of the old Dumfries Jail, a heavy
pewter spoon marked l7G6 and a pouch OF
English coin found in the feds where the
town stood.

that this is the psychological moment. First
thing you know you have invited him to
dinner, or he is pushed in to some general
invitation, and the deed is done.
Then you commence to learn to know the
bounder. One wonders if he lives in cave

entirely unaware of the real decencies of

Dumfries was Old before the city of Wash

through a cornfield comes upon mound of
brick and mortar, and his guide. some ven-

Dumfrics Theater stood here" coming upon
another mound in a meadow the guide says:
This was the Bank of Dumfries," or the
market house stood here, or along this
street where the cattle are pastured there

may bring.
Dumfries is on Qu7ntico creek about five
miles above where the creek empties into
the Potomac. For two miles above its
mouth Quantico creek is a stream of
marked beauty. Contrary to what its name
implies the creek is wide body of water.
In places 1t appears TO be half a mile wide,
and II is narrower than two or three hun
dred yards in only few places till about
three miles above the Potomac, where wide
marshes are encountered. Over these
marshes the creek simply oozes. These
marshes extend perhaps two miles back

To reach Dumfries one may leave the rail-
road at Quantco village and follow the wa

side of the creek. Or one may leave the
railroad at Barrow's Siding on the north
side of the creek and follow the line of a
narrow gauge railway which runs to
pyrities mine about two miles above Dunn

way of reaching Dumfries he may follow

PRIZE COUPONS At
OaPAEUM THEA1EH

J. c. Cohen. the Belasco Of Honolulu,
has hit upon a new scheme TO make
more popular the already very popular
Buhler company now playing at the
OrDheum theater. He has arranged
with Rice & Perkins for about 5000 pho
tographs. cabinet size, of all the play
ers in the company. Beginning with
this evening every lady patron of the
theater will be given a coupon enti-
Ting the holder to one photograph. The
coupons will be given as each lady en-
ters the theater, after tickets are pre-
scented.
As there are about fifteen members
Of the company, an excellent oppor-
tunity is given to the ladies of Homo
lulu to acquire a full set of these pho
tographs. There are many handsome
looking men and some particularly
striking women in the Buhler company
and "Belasco" Cohen's new idea will
certainly meet With such favor that
the photographs will be in great de-
mand.
Although the misrepresentation be
gins with the drama of The Fatal
Card" tonight's performance, the pho
tographs will not be ready until the
first of the week. A full collection of
these photographs will make a nice
souvenir of the BUTLER Company's visit
to Honolulu.
