of you quaint home, with messy
shingles, log kitchen, rough, stout
chimneys and very old fashioned
air. 1t is probably not the oldest
house on the Georgetown Rockville
road. but its foundation was laid and
it's roof was shingled in that far
gone time which we speak of as
pioneer days"
For many years it was called the
Riley place. 1t was the home of
Isaac Riley and it may have been
his fathers home. but that the Ram
bier does not know. Isaac Riley
died there on July 5, 1854, at the
age of seventy-six years. His wife
was Matilda Middleton, who was born
in 1900 and died in 1890. The chill
dren Of these good people were named
in a previous ramble. One of their
children was christened Frances but
everybody in the county called her
Fannie. She became the wife of
Franklin Mace. who came to Mont
gomery from Cecil county. Md. and
to them fell the Riley homestead.
Slowly it took on the name of the
Mace place" and Charlie Mace, vet
erinarian, son of Franklin Mace and
Fannie Riley Mace, lives there today.
There is homelike rest and beauty
about this old place. OF course, il
you demand that a house shall look
spruce, prim and up 10 date you
will probably pass this place by with
out giving it a loving glance. 1t sits
far back from the west side of the
road. Around it cling vines and above

strong and crooked arms. Late roses
were blooming in the garden when

estate of John JOY Edison. The lands
now owned by DR.. Woodward and
Mr., Edison were the Lyddane farms
"Lyddane" is an old name in Mont
gomery, and the Rambler finds it in
the census of 1890. There were three
brothers observation-disclosures, Edmund
and Maltias. who seems also to have
been called steve" Thomas Inherit
ed that land which Mr.. Edison now
owns and Edmund that which DR..
Woodward owne. but Edmund sold his
portion to Thomas. Maltias was once
a commissioner of Montgomery county
and lived on fine farm, now the
property of his son-in-law. william
Dorsey, on the Baltimore road near
Rockville. The Edmund Lyddane
house. which Thomas bought and
which burned down before the> land
passed to DIR. Woodward, was for
several years the home Of the Tansill
family. and here the Rambler begins
a part of his narrative which he feels
will touch the memory of many old
Washingtonians.
Col. Robert Tansill, who lived there,
was born at Dumfries. Va, June ~,
1912. died at Alexandria February S,
1890, and is buried in the Ewell and
Parson Weems burying ground at
Belle Aire, near Dumfries. His first
wife was Fannie Weems, daughter of
Parson Weems. who wrote the biog-
raphy Of Washington. published in
1908. containing the cherry tree and
Ratchet story. A child Of this mar
riage was Robert Weems Tansill of
Chicago, manufacturer of a cigar
punch bearing his name. and who died
several years ago at Carlsbad, N. NJ,
Of which place he was one of the
founders. Col. Tansilrs second wife
was Anna Lucinda Bender, daughter
of Maj. George Bender. She died at
Manassas January 2. 1885, and is
buried in the family lot at Oak Hill,

slowed them on a beautiful school
teacher and an also beautiful war
worker, who went along on this ram
BILE to study birds and wild flowers
and to talk upon all other subjects.
In the garden of the old house is a
spring whose sweet water is famous
over a wide range of country. 1t
has never gone dry. it has slaked the
thirst of tens of thousands of pill
grims along this colonial highway
and perhaps it has helped to make
as many toddies and mint ju!eps as
any other spring in the neighbour
hood. With Charlie Mace lives now
the Bracket family, William and his
wife and their children. Catherine,
and also Miss Mary White. niece
of Mrs. Bracket.
Soon after passing the Riley Mace
homestead the road climbs to higher
country and passes over wide
slightly rolling plain giving vistas so
long that they press the western
horizon back to the hills beyond Cab
in John and push the southern hori-
zon back into the hills across the Po-
tomac. The road is gravelly and
dusty. 1t was broad road in its
busy youth and prime. but a wagon
width of earth carries all the traffic
that passes that way now and be-
tween this wagon-way and the woods
and fields that bound the road grow
golden rod. bull thistle. partridge
pea and all the other plants that like
such situations. Soon you come to a
lane leading west whose south bank
is a tangle of honeysuckle and whose
north bank is trimmed with cedars.

FOR q. S. WIRE OWNERSHIP.
Former Telegraphers' Leader Says
All Operators Favor It.
BY WEBSTER.

In an address last night before the
local union of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers, s. ]. Small, former interna-
tional president of the organization,
declared in favor of a nationwide
campaign for government ownership
of all telegraph lines. He said that
such a campaign was being planned
and, if necessary, would be made a
political issue in the national cam
paign of 1920.
Mr.. Small pointed out that prac-
tically every telegrapher in the coun-
try favored such ownership. He said
that criticism by the union of Post
master General Burleson's admins
tration oe the wire system had been
misinterpreted as an indication that
the union was unfavorable to gov
ernment ownership. but that the real
conditions were to the contrary.
Government ownership that will
eliminate duplication of 1000 central
telegraph Offices is a strong areu-
ment. he said, favoring government
ownership.
