John Sarten Again.

1T is always pleasant to welcome old
friends and to record their return
Several Sundays ago the Rambler reached
into his great and odd collection Of
Photographic negatives and drew from
the heap four negatives of old friends,
young and old persons he had encoun-
tered on the rambles. Some of these
negatives were made several years ago
One of the pictures which he turned in
with his "ramble' vas that Of an old
man in a gh-peaked, rough and ready
hat, and wearing on his shoulders a
military cape of cut and style that is
not now the military vogue. His name
was John Sarten. The Rambler met him
on street in Alexandria. made his ac-
quaintance and took his picture. Re-
Gently in an idle mood when 1t seemed
more pleasant to indulge in "reminiscences
than to go walking after new matter.
the Rambler wrote of this old man. say
ing that perhaps he had passed away.
because he was not a young man at the
time Of the making OF the picture.
The mail few days ago brought to
the desk of the Rambler the following
letter:
Dear Sir:
In looking over The Sunday Star OF January
"A | was very much interested In an, an article Of

and from the way the article read am aware
You think be has passed away. and l am very
glad to tell you be is still very much alive and
is almost active as he was when You took
his picture In Alexandria
He is still living on his farm near Franconia
Va, all alone. and am writing this 10 you 50
that if you ever care to visit him in your
rambles again you will know where to find him.
He still remembers when you took his picture
and also has the one yen sent him.

viously written. some contain suggee-
tions for future rambles. and by far
the greater number contain request.
for Information. And the Rambler Is
happy to furnish the information when
he has 1t or knows where and how to
get 1t without too great expenditure OF
time.
A large percentage OF the letters in
which correspondents ask for informa
tion contain requests for data concern
ing ancestors. The necessary infer
ence is that a goodly number of Wash
ingtonians are actively interested in
their ancestors and that interest IN
genealogy is spreading and deepening

fciently read IL. Now l should like to
ask you if you obtained the records
mentioned from a Maryland court OF
from District court. This is Of per
sonal interest to me and II YOU would
give me this information | should be
more than grateful"
A woman in Alexandria has written:
Il have been reading your articles In
the Sunday star with much interest
particularly your rambles near Alex
andria, my birthplace and the home OF
my family for six generations. In YOU

Thompson family in Maryland. Will
you tell me where I can ffnd records OF
this family? am in quest Of an elusive

1t great favor If you will tell me
where the records of these Thompsons

A woman writes from the Louise Hom.
that she would like to get picture OF
the old kalorama house and gateway
and of the old Cox house which stood on
Meridian Hill
A man in Washington writes: Il have

articles by the Rambler They are par

He Lost His Fish.

a \ easterner was spending his first
~ summer in Montana, where he had
plenty Of opportunity to indulge in his
favorite sport of trout fishing. One
afternoon he had been unusually sue
cessful, but just as he was setting out
for camp with a heavy string of fish
he caught sight of = great pine which
had blown down and was lying with
its top in the water-iust the place for
hooking monster trout.
He had been fishing UP d deep and
rapid mountain stream. the banks of
which were thickly grown with BRAN
bles and service berry bushes, among
which he had to thread his way with
his rod in one hand and his heavy
string of fish in the other.
Pushing along TO the fallen pine, he
climbed upon il by dint OF hard scran
bling, holding on as best he could with
both hands full. The tree was close
to the bank. and the stream was boil
ing. He was in the midst of the
suddenly, just over the roaring tor
rent, something on the other side OF
the tree rose up close beside him-an
immense bear, with her cubs beside
her.
There was no time to hesitate. To
run was impossible. and the bear was
coming toward him. growing savage
ly. On the impulse Of the moment tht
man dashed his string of trout full
in her face. In doing SO he lost his
balance, and the next instant there
was a tremendous splash and he dis
appeared in the boiling water.
He emerged some distance farther
down the stream. He scrambled to the
bank and looked back. There on the
pine sat the bear, intently watching
the hole where the man had disappear
ed. He did not go back to inform her
that he was not there. but made TOR
camp at a good speed.

give some idea Of this big, masterfui.
but magnetic and gregar1ous commahu
er of the party's legislative army IN
the House.
This is not real interview with Mr..
Kitchin He, unlike most public men,
is shy in the presence of an interview
er. He simply will not talk about
himself Which does not mean that he
will not talk. He will talk till the
cows come home, given a chance, on
general topics; but not to have MS
words taken down and printed unless
he has carefully prepared them In ad-
vance. And that sort of an interview
does not reflect much of the man.
But observation of him. talk with
him and, moreover. talks with his as

Kitchin's record is that of radical.
And still, with all his seeming Inn
petuosity. all his quality of dash and
fire, all his radicalism. those who know
Claude Kitchin long ago found him
the possessor of a. long-headed Scotch
irish caution. He sees ahead quite as
far as Oscar Underwood, perhaps far
ther That very gregariousness Of
his, as opposed to the habitual reserve
of Oscar Underwood, has taught him
to know accurately the minds of the
men who are to be his lieutenants and
who are to make up the rank and file
of his fighting force. and who. also. are
to be arrayed against him on the re-
publican side.
When he leads his army into battle
on the floor Of the House-and 1t is
he will have to lead it in many no.
table battles-he will go in knowing
thoroughly his own strength and his
own weakness, the latter a very i'm
portant element, and with equal knowl-
edge of the enemy.
He is q general who will not avoid
battle, but rather seek 1t; however, he
will select his own ground. His as
sociates predict that he never will be
caught on a strange field; that never
will his advance guard be driven back
be studied and prepared in advance,
and part of his strategy will consist in
leading the enemy into morasses and
swamps and barbed wire entang1e-
ments.
Preparation? That is the keynote of
his method of operation, for he Is a
deep student That is what gave him
prominence on the committee on ways
