Lincoln went forth to see the attack
by Earlys troops on the northern
line of Washington defenses at Fort
Stevens, and which has been oecu-
pied as a summer home by other
presidents-is an oval around which
ten elms are growing. This oval is
bisected east and west by a brick
walk. On the trunk of each of these
trees about six feet from the ground
is nailed an old grape basket, and
each of these baskets is kept nearly
filed with nuts and acorns. 1t is the
principal dining room of the Soldiers
Home squirrels-the squirrels mess

may be seen on trees in other parts of
the Soldiers Home grounds, but here
they are close together.
The Anderson cottage is pebble

climb these walls and scamper up and
down as nimbly as they do the trunks
of trees. 1t seemed to the Rambler
that a number OF the squirrels have
built their homes somewhere back un.
der the caves of this cottage.
