ONLY by way of private lanes and through

On the Conduit road above Little Falls
a dirt road branches to the right and
leads north, skirting this fort neiChbOr-

miles northwest of Tenleytown. From this
north and south road. about mile above
the Conduit road, a branch road leads
northeast to the River road and con-

were not there in the time Of the civil
war, but road did cross from the Con-

keeping the cards face upward. To IL
lustrate: Pick up the eight of spades, face
upward. On top of that. also face up
ward, place the nine of clubs. On that
place the ten of diamonds; on that the
ace of heats; on that the nine of spades:
on that the ten of clubs; then the ace or
diamonds, and so on. When all have been
gathered, the ten of hearts will be the
first card and will, of course, be face
upward. Then turn the pack over in
your hand so that all the cards are face
downward. The ten of hearts, then, nat
urally, will be the bottom card. Now lay
the cards out again in rows Of ten, face
downward going straight through the
pack. The trick is now ready to be
worked

value Of that card by four and count that
number off to yourself. beginning at the
upper left-hand corner. The card on

nine of hearts, multiply nine by four.
which is thirty-six. The thirty-sixth card
from the upper left-hand corner is the
nine of hearts.
If man calls for a card in the dia-
mond suit multiply by four again, but
add three to the total before counting. IL
the seven of diamonds is called for for in

The evolution of the Capitol grounds
would make an interesting story. Capt.
tol Hill was field of the Carroll farm,
DuddingtOn. when the corner stone of
the Capitol was laid, the 18th of Septem-
Der. 1893 There is no record of any
systematic effort to beautify the grounds
either on the completion of the north
wing in 1900 or of the south wing in
1911. There is a tradition that George
Washington in erecting the building
which was to- be his town house set out
a group of elms northeast of the Capt.
tol, one of which survives. Mr.. Jeffer-
son was a tree planter. and there are
traditions of Jefferson trees having been
planted in the Capitol grounds.
