~ N a tract which time out Of
W Turkey lt,.,oa Flight. a few ss., miles Hes
bones of a man who was a soldier of
the United States In the fight for in
dependenco The rank to which that
soldier attained was brigadier general.
and his command was q Maryland
brigade in the "fying camp of the
continental army. The grave is about
one and a half miles northwest of
BeItsville. in the Evansville district of
Prince Georges county. 1t is that dis
tance in an air line or in line across
fields and through thickets. but 1t is
perhaps a trifie more than two miles
along the public roads and private
lane.
The stone marking the head OF the
grave has weathered well the suns and
frosts of los years. Its inscription IS
clear and II stands. though not erect,
vet less aslaHt than many stones of far
less age. All around the grave are
others, but they are unmarked. eS-
cept by bits of country rock. and no
doubt several graves are there that
have not even such humble markers.
Nearby are a large gnarled cherry
tree and a bigger oak, while growing
around cedar and sassafras sap
Nngs. The aspect of the place sug
gests that this graveyard may have
been a tangled thicket not so long ago.
That the tangle has been cleared away
and that the tombstone is standing in
dicate that somebody has bestowed
need of respectful care upon this spot.
The tombstone a tall and broad and
thick gray slab. bears this inscription:
--ro the Memory of General Rein
Beall. Who Died on the I4th Day of
October 1909. in the S6th Year of
His Age" There is a hewn stone
marker at the foot of the grave and it
has sunk into the mold. Between the
headstone and the footstones there is
a gravelike depression. A century
usually smoothes out a sad scar of
this kind.
Walking leisurely along a road which
leads northwest out of Beltsville the
Rambler came to the point where that
road intersects one which leads from
Evansville to Colesville. This is road
of great age and considerable interest
Leading east from the point at which
the Rambler entered, il crosses the
Baltimore and Ohio tracks between
Beltsville and Ammendale, passes over
Indian creek and climbs the Evansville
hill. Somewhat more than two miles
northeast from Evansville the road
forks. the left fork after two miles of
travel crossing the PatuXent and pass
ing into Anne Arundel county. The
right fork strikes away to the south
east. crossing the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Springfield, and two miles south
of Springfield 1t intersects the old road
which leads from Priest bridge on the
Patuxent. west to Collington. Buena

families. The new Higgins house has
been built several hundred yards north
Of the fire ruin.
When the Rambler had finished his
visit to the grave of Gen. Beall he fol-
lowed the carriage road which leads
out of the Higgins place into the pub
lie road. Coming along the farm lane
was a pack of fox hounds. about f1f-
teen strong. They looked inQuisitively
at the man with the camera and other
baggage and barked a welcome. Be-
hind them came a man on white

The American workingman who Is

bureaus will have practically nothing
to do with Americans, and the govern

So there Is considerable distress. Then
there are q certain number of 'no-ac-
count men living over here who sink
lower and lower until finally they re-
fuse to drag their families down any
further, and 30 they desert them, and,
after seeking help through the Ameri-

The claim to American nationality of
some of our applicants is doubtful, but
we never turn anybody away. At pres
ent England Is simply crowded with
