bear down upon ship as it approaches
the shore, and as soon as il comes to
anchor a rough ladder is placed be-
tween the vessel and the foremost
barge. On each rung a girl takes her
place. Men in the barge quickly shovel

then pass from hand to hand up the
living ladder with marvellous celerity.
Each girl SeiZeS one and swings il

girl.

in similar manner back into the barge

Commodore Barney.

# HE Rambler did not have the space
last sunday to complete his sketch
OF Commodore Barney, the officer who
fought well for the defense of Wash
'ngton against the British, who was
distinguished sailor in the war of the
American revolution and the second
war with England and after whom IL
has long been sought to name the gov
eminent reservation at the Washington
end of the Pennsylvania Avenue bridge,
where Barney took his stand when it
was believed that the British invaders
would cross the Eastern branch at that
point instead Of at Bladensburg. The
Rambler told of Barney sailing in the
patriot craft. the Hornet
The Hornet. in company with the ten
gun schooner Wasp. Capt. Alexander,
sailed out of the Patapsco, down the
Chesapeake and through the capes in
November. 1876. and joined Commodore
Hopkins squadron in the Delaware.
This squadron. in addition to the Hornet
and the Wasp, consisted of the Alfred,
flagship: Columbus. Cabot. Andrea Do
ria, Providence and the Fly. carrying
in all 102 guns. This was the first
United States squadron or fleet to set
forth upon the seas and it sailed from
the Delaware for the Bahamas Febru-
ary II, 1916 At the Bahamas large
stores of munitions were captured, and
these munitions had an important bear
ing on the fortunes of the republic.
Barney after leaving the Hornet came
to the command of the Wasp and his

such favor that the marine committee
of the Continental Congress, through
its president, Robert Morris, appointed

The Laugh.
THE late Richard Hardins

THE late Richard Harding Davis once
said in Philadelphia:
Heaven pity the artist whose public
laughs when he wants it to be serious
or to weep!
"Jeavons. a good artist in the parlor
entertainment line, came out to West
chester county one evening to amuse
Cobra Golde's tenantry. Jeavons was
funny: he was accustomed to being
laughed at; but the uproarious mirth of
Gobsa Golde's tenantry nearly brought
down the barn-for the show, l forgot
to say, was being held in Gobsa Golde's
splendid barn.
"Gobsa finally had to rise and hold up
his hand for silence.
- know how difficult it is for us to
restrain our mirth. he said, when Mr..
Jeavons is on the stage. but if We do
not do SO now the program will hardly
be over by midnight
There was another roar of laughter,
and a farmer rose and said:
Excuse us, Mr.. Golde. but it amt
Jeavons we're laughin' at. Somebody
left the barn door open and all the pigs
have got in. and they're durn near
puShin us off our seats."

The old road, where it turns south from
Sand street in Bladensburg and passes
along the west base and then the south
base of Lowndes HILL has come to take
the form of a village street. with cement
sidewalks and honey cottages with fine
lawns and flower beds. At point about
one-third of mile from Sand street a
road strikes off and leads south. crossing
a stream, passing the west base of hill
which is the very old Presbyterian n
cemetery of which the Rambler has
previously written. and thence along the
level and fertile lands bordering the Ana
costa river to Deanwood, Benning, Twin

strung together as finish and the cord
is knotted to form stop. All the
strings are attached to a piece of tap
estry, which is scanned so that the cur
tain pole may slip through. One might
also run screws in a curtain pole and
tie the strings to them.
Does curtain like this take long
time. to make?" Mrs. Clark was asked.
"I have worked on this one every
evening since Christmas" she replied,
''and have sat up until IL o'clock at

me their Star Magazines, and I got so
interested that the first thing l would
look for Sunday morning was The Star

tractive. More colors in more startling &
combinations appear than were ever
present at a 5th avenue Easter parade
1t is a continuous surprise, Mrs. Clark
says, for one can never imagine how a
fiat piece will turn out when rolled.
After enough rolls are completed to
make the curtain, the heads may be
purchased. These are ordinary colored
glass beads with holes large enough to
admit their being strung on fish-net
cord. Then one is ready for the final
stringing.
Usually door openings. where such
portieres are hung. are five feet wide.
One may have the strings reach un-
broken across this space or not. Mrs
Clark chose to arrange hers to form an
opening in the center, SO that passers
through the doorway need not brush
aside the curtain every time they enter
the room. The full-length strings. in
this case. therefore extend about foot
from the edge toward the center. Then
they begin to shorten.
But, of course. the pattern is a mat
ter of individual taste. At the end OF

GENERAL OF


be found in the journal that was written
by Barney.
In April. 1852. Barney set sail in COM
mand of the famous ship Hyder Ali. and
in gallant action took the British ship
General Monk.
After American independence had been
won and the last ship of the navy had
been sold by the government to private
buyers, Barney laid aside his sword and
accepted, at different times. two civil
positions at Baltimore. which he re-
signed, returning to the sea in command
of trading ship. In 1894, in pursuance
of an act of Congress ito provide a
naval armament" President Washington
nominated, and the Senate confirmed
six captains one of them being Barney
and the others John Barry. Samuel
Nicholson, Silas Talbot. Richard Dale
and Thomas Truxton. Barney declined
the appointment because he was to be
junior to Slas Talbot. He went to
France on commercial business and fin
ally entered the naval service of the
French republic, serving with distinction
until 1902. when he returned to the
United States. President Jefferson, in
1905, offered Barney the position of
superintendent of the Washington navy

became a candidate for Congress from
the Baltimore district of Maryland in
1905. and carried the city, but failed Of
election, the vote of the county being for
another candidate He contested the
election, but lost the contest He was

but was again defeated.
Immediately after the Leopard-Chesa-
peake affair. in 1907. Barney rendered
his services to the President. but the
second war with Great Britain was still
some years in the future.
Commodore Barney had obtained a
large grant of land in Hardin county.
Ky, and after the war of 1872, and
preliminary to settling in Kentucky. he
made two trips to the west. In 1S1S.
having sold his Maryland farm at Elk
Ridge. Ann Arundel county. he set out
with several members of his family for
what was to be their new home. He
was stricken with bilious fever during
the trip and died at Pittsburgh, Decem-
ber /. 1878. He was laid at rest in the
burying ground of the First Presbyterian
Church of that city, but the remains
were removed to another Pittsburgh
cemetery in lS4S.

woods. with quantities of fallen tim
ber and heavy underSroWth. 1t would
appear that not a high percentage OF
the land in that neighborhood is clear
ed. The woods. fresh and green with
patches of pines, dark, sturdy and SOL
emn, not only close in the road on
both sides. but seem to extend back
from it a considerable distance. How
ever, the Rambler did not stray far
enough off the road to explore the
depth of the timber land.
Troops could pass over the road to-
day and be secure against observa-
ton except at one or two points where
it crosses a ridge over cleared land. or
unless the low-hanging dense cloud of
infantry dust revealed its march. Per-
haps that was one reason why the
British chose it. OF course, another
reason was that they knew the cross
ing of the Eastern branch was more
difficult directly east of the city. The
two bridges. one the Benning bridge
and the other at the foot of Kentucky
avenue, were long and could easily be
destroyed, and they were in fact de-
the British did not attempt to make
use of them.
Through this section of Prince
Georges county there are extensive
areas of culled hardwoods. hardwood
saplings, scrub pine saplings and GULL
ed hardwood There are not now many
areas of merchantable timber. for land
to be classified by the bureau Of for
estry of the United States or OF the
state of Maryland as merchantable
hardwoods must have a stand of saw
timber that will yield at least 1000
board feet to the acre.
About half a mile east of Dodge
Park a bend in the road brings into
view a low-roofed. comfortable old
house powered in the greenery of many
shrubs and trees. 1t stands on the
slope Of a hill that rises from the
north side of the road. along which
is wall of the country rock, laced over
with honeysuckle and wild berry
vines Off the south side of the road
is a spring that has been flowing for
centuries but over which has been
built a springhouse of late construc-
ton. British soldiers on that hot Au-
gust morning when they marched that
way filled their canteens at this spring.
An oak tree which stands close to the
spring today was growing there then.
From the main road near the spring
a lane leads south through field and
climbs a low ridge on which is a barn
whose shingles have withstood the
winds of many winters. A few yards
from the barn, which is about three
hundred yards from the house. is a
burying ground wherein rest those who
were for many years the owners and
the tillers of this land. There are few
monuments to tell the names of the
persons whose bones are there. At the
head and foot of each grave is a mark
er of ironstone. rock that occurs in
layers a few feet below the surface
and large fragments of which in many
places are scattered over the ground.
There are two little marble headstones

F0HERE are nearly as many roads
in Maryland over which the
British moved toward. and then
q away from Washington as there
are houses in which receptions were
held in honor of Lafayette on the occa-
sion of his last VISIT to the United
States. There are number of roads
over which the British invaders, ac-
cording to tradition and report,
marched in August. 1914. which were
not in existence at that time.
Some stretches of the road over
which the enemy of 1s12-15 moved
northward from Benedict on the Pa
tuxent- have disappeared. Many new
roads have come into being in that part
of Maryland southeast of Washingto on
within century, some old roads have
been abandoned. some remain in con-
dition of neglect. and others have been
realigned. regarded and otherwise i'm
proved. leaving their old course here
and there. and then returning to it for
the sake of what later road builders
considered the better way. However.
if you would follow the course of the
English from their place of debarka- :
tion at Benedict to Washington and
will consult few maps and make in
quiries Of well informed Inhabitants
of the region. little difficulty will be
encountered in retracing the historic
march of the British invaders. Though
the century has brought many changes
in southern Maryland. it is not sec
tion which is subject to quick and
violent change. Century-old landmarks
are numerous.

several roads to which the English troops
gave such historis interest, is that which

ity could have made it out of covers
OF The Sunday Stars Magazine.
Mrs J. NJ. Clark Of 242 sth street
southeast is the proud possessor of
such ingenuity and also of the curtain.
How she could convert the covers of
the magazine. with their pretty girl
faces and figures OF stalwart heroes of
tain similar to those imported in large
quantities from Japan for the adorn-
ment OF American summer homes is a
story which she herself must tell.

The magazine covers, thought,

The Star reporter who went to see
Mrs. Clark's achievement was eager to
hear the details Of the work. The proc
