obtained the land from Sir William Berkeley, governor of Virginia, as a recompense for bringing immi- gran.s to the colony
 It was not long after the resignation of Robert E. Lee from the United States army and the withdrawal of the Lee family from Arlington that the United States government took pos session of the place.
 The heights commanded Washing ton and their occupation by federal forces was looked upon as a military necessity.
 During the war camps and hospitals were scattered over that high country and on the Arlington estate. Men who died there were at the outset buried in the Soldiers Home cemetery in Wash ington. However, in the spring of 1864 Gen. Fucker and Capt. James M. Moore reported that Arlington was a most eligible site for national ceme- tery. and Gen. Montgomery c. Meigs, on May 13, 1864. ordered that inter. ment be made there. On that day number of men who died in the Ar lington and surrounding hospitals were laid under the sod at Arlington
 At the close of the civil war bodies were gathered from the battlefields of northern Virginia and from the old camp sites, and reinterred at Arling- ton. The graves of Arlington have been growing in number till there are now about 30,000 of them. More off. cers of the army and navy are buried there than in any other cemetery, per haps in all other national cemeteries, In the United States. Soldiers and ex-soldiers and sailors have the right of burial at Arlington and beautiful grave sites are provided by the quar- termaster's department of the army for officers and their wives.
 Early in 1864 Arlington was ordered to be sold for taxes and the place was bought by the national government for a trifling sum. Mrs. Lee died in 1873 without contesting the governments title, but her son, George Washington Custis Lee, sued to have the sale set aside as invalid The case finally was decided by the supreme court of the United States in favor of Lee He then sold the estate to the government foi $l5O.000.

NATIONAL CEMETERY
ARLINGTON, BURIAL GROUND
 FOR COUNTRY's HEROES.
Site Once the Home of Robert E. Lee Taken Possession of by United States at Outbreak of the
 Civil War.

Washington.-The story of Arling. ton is interwoven with the story of America. The beauty and the solemni- ty of that national metropolis make a touching appeal to the thousands of pilgrims that annually visit it.
 The builder of Arlington house and its first occupant was George Wash ington Parke Custis, adopted son of George Washington. The wife of George Washington Parke Custis was Mary Lee Fitzhugh of Virginia and this lady was the first mistress of Ar lington house. The daughter of George Washington Parke Custis and Randolph Custis, who on June 30, 1881. was married at Arlington to Lieut. Robert E. Lee, Engineer corps, U. s. A. Lieut.. and Mrs. Lee continued to reside at Arlington and on the death of her father, March 26, 1855, Mrs Lee inherited the estate. It was the home of Robert k. Lee and his family until April 22, 1861, when he left Richmond and it was on that day that Gov. Letch- CT and the convention of Virginia ap- pointed Lee commander-in-chief of the military forces of Virginia.
 It was in December, ITS, that John Parke Custis of Abingdon bought from Gerald Alexander HOO acres of land opposite Georgetown, now a part of the city of Washington. The price paid was HOO pounds sterling. He called the new place Arlington in memory of the old Custis seat across Chesapeake bay. The Alexander fam. fly (hence the name Alexandria had bought 6,000 acres of land, includ- ing Arlington, for six hogsheads of to- bacco from Robert Howson, who had
