road the persimmon tree stood Is a
fact which has slipped the Rambier's
mind. When the road was piked ana
the village of Potomac had succeeded
Offutt's Cross Roads 1T was called
Potomac pike. In piking the road a
change of direction was made to con-
meet with the River road by nearer
way. That part of the road which
Is not piked and which Is usually
Travelled by people living on 1T ana
by passengers on the electric rail-
way who are going to or from Poto-
mac Is called Persimmon Tree lan.
1t is a road of which the Rambler has
written before.
The man who built the house at
the end Of the straight and narrow
lane was John Saunders who was
born in the Goose Creek section of
Loudoun county, Va, came to Mont
gomery county as young man,
bought a large farm out of the ancient
tract called Clewerwold, died in 1883

as an officer in the 5th United States

some persons to assume that posture
who otherwise might not be attracted
to 1t. But II that idea were followed
to its logical conclusion, which is
usually illogical churches would have
TO take out the pews and put in rock
ing chairs and couches.
The Rambler has used the words
"piety" and "pious." He often brings
In those words in his descriptions of
old churches. old churchyards and
other gay themes he so often touches
on. They are very useful words and
one can produce good literary effect
with them by using them judiciously.
True piety is, Of course, pleasing to
everybody with religious turn of
mind, but there are several varie-
ties-almost species-of pious people.
Some pious people seem to feel and
act as though the world were full of
angels seeking to help men up the
golden stairs, while other pious peo-
pie seem to feel and act as though
the world were thronged with devils,
all seeking to clutch men around the
neck and to cast them headlong into
pit of burning sulphur. though an
electric furnace can be raised to
much higher temperature than a sui
phurous pit.
Another thought came to the Ram
bier as he sat on the roadside near
the little church and started a brisk
and merry fire to warm his feet and
hands and to gladden. his spirit. 1t
was that many, many years from now
the bleak fields and brown woods
around the church will have been
changed into squares and streets and
that rows Of houses will stand where
now the rows OF cedar trees range
themselves along rail efnoes. At this
point may stand a grand and gorgeous
church. 1t may be of granite or some
enduring and magnificent material of
which we know nothing now. There Is
no telling what may be the style of
architecture of that church. Roman
esQue, Gothic, Renaissance, Doric,
Ionic. Corinthian and Moorish may
seem to the people then but the crude
endesvor of the barbarian people who

In that far-off time perhaps there
will be bronze or gold tablet on
Capitol Hill to mark where the Capt.

inscription something like this: This
tablet marks the spot on which stood
the first Capitol building erected in
the city of Washington. This me-
