course of n fen weeks has strolled
over acres and miles of fields which
call up terrible or glorious. or terrible
and glorious. memories. and which are
generally known as the battles OF Bull
Run and of Chantilly. On these walks
the Rambler has trod good many
miles of rough Virginia pike and has
sauntered through such historic VII
lagos and hamlets as Fairfax Court
House, Centerville. Groveton, Sudley,
Gainesville. chantilly and Fender.
Last Sunday the field of the battle Of
Balls Bluff, on the Potomac river ABOVE
Washington, called to him and the
Rambler answered the summons. Inc
town of consequence nearest this fight
ing ground is Leesburg. The walk Is
not far, the roads are excellent ana
you can let your fancy conjure up al
the ghosts of the brave men who fell
in that fight, one of the early tragedies
of the civil war.
The affair at Balls Bluff was Of con-
siderable moment as loss and
check to the Union cause, but much was
made of it from a political point OF
view, Col Edward D. Baker had re-
tired from the United States Senate to
enter the civil war in the command OF
regiment, and he mad a host OF
friends In Congress who felt that the
Balls Bluff disaster was chargeable to
Gen. Charles P. Stone, the division com.
mander. congressional inquiry was
held, Gen. Stone was put under arrest,
but never tried, and he remained IN
the army until his resignation in 1884.
He had the entire confidence of Nc
Clellan. Grant and other Union gener-
ais, though the congressional inquiry
brought out that Stone. by the friends
of Baker, was believed to be disloyal
TO the Union cause Balls Bluff and
the subsequent inquiry constituted one
of the thrilling chapters of the history
of the early stages of the civil war.
Leading north from Leesburg is a
pike which will carry you to the Po-
tomac river opposite the Point Of
Rocks. Not far from shops and dwell
ings Of Leesburg is tollgate, which
suspends charges between the hours of
ard o'clock Sunday. 1t was be-
tween those hours that the Rambler
passed that way. and the tollgate keep
er. Mr.. Newton, explained that the free
dom Of the way was given people be-
tween those hours because they were
church hours. To the left of the road
is Union cemetery. an interesting place
there, and soldiers of both armies rest
there.
Farther to the left the view is bound
ed by the Catoctin mountains, blue or
purple accord ng to the weather and
sometimes wrapped in gray mist. The
range seems not to be more than half
mile away. 1t is wooded. but with here
and there clearing. and several fine
houses and estates nestle in those hills.
A turn in the white road over which You
are travelling brings into view Sugar
Loaf mountain In Maryland, a landmark
for many miles around.
About a mile from the tollgate a dirt
road strikes OF to the right. crossing low
land and then climbing low ridge be-
tween pastures where cattle and sheep
browse, and fields of high, strong corn.

N. Smith, United States commissioner of
fisheries, quoting a former commiss. oner

Prodigal nature is never more prodigal
than in her treatment of fish life. The
number of eggs she permits each female

RAGTIME GOOD FOR CHILDREN
Expert at Music Supervisors Confer
ence Defends Popular songs-Says
They Are Beneficial.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Ragtime music
and the singing Of popular songs Of
the day does not injure the musical
mind Of the public school child, but
rather encourages individual musical
ability, says Ralph l.. Baldwin, must
cal supervisor Of the public schools at
Hartford, Conn, who is in Minneapolis
attending the seventh annual meeting
OF the National Conference Of Music
Supervisors.
Il have learned. said Mr.. Baldwin,
that ragtime music or the singing Of
popular songs does not injure the
child unsteady; that is, II not carried
to an extreme. Ragtime music is moth
ing more nor less than a foot ticker
for all Of US, and it Is a good change
to fall back upon after pursuing music
for some time. You know we have
to have a change in music once in a
While, just as we have to have a va
cation or rest from our work. and this
