it would appear that Addison's addi-
lion 20 Chichester was wild" or un-
patented. land until 1864. which is
highly improbable. Nearly all the
original" grants in the District east
of the Eastern Branch which the
Rambler has seen bear date in the
last half of the seventeenth century,
and it is not believable that land
colonial spectators would have over
looked 4S7 acres and let them lie un-
claimed or unpatented until 1864. The
answer to the question may be found
in the records at Upper Marlboro or
La Plata
The Rambler thinks it probable
that Meekes' grant OF 1864 was
bought by Col. John Addison of Oxon
Hill Manor or by his son, Thomas
Addison of Barnaby Mansion. about
two miles south of Congress Heights.
Col. John Addison could no doubt
have found 4s7 acres of unpatented
land adjoining the Meekes tract, or his
son Thomas may have bought that
tract and an adjoining grant patented
under some name by which the land
cannot now be identified. The land
might have descended to the Rev.
Henry Addison from his father or
grandfather and the Rambler thinks

finds that mo other man in Amer

Mr.. Ludlow. This knowledge has

is an interesting chapter. After
living in the National Capital
for nearly a quarter of a century, Mr..
Ludlow writes as follows:
"Cities. like men, have their dis
tinctive places in history and litera-
ture. Jerusalem is the city of the
great king Washington is the beau
tiful city. Its broad avenues. it's in
Vulnerable public parks. its imposing
memorials, its great variety of sta
ary, it's splendid residences, it's grand
government buildings which dot the
city like palaces, combine to make
the Capital beautiful beyond descrip-
tion. 1t is the cleanest city in the
world. One of it's structures, the
Library of Congress, is conceded to
be the handsomest building on the
round earth.
Here are focused the mystic ties
that bind together a great nation.
Here are the mute reminders Of the
travail in which the nation was born;
of the hardships, the privations, the
tragic suffering through which, step
by step, it progressed upward, until
in the providence of God it achieved
it's magnificent destiny.
Historical associations of incom-
parable richness attract and delight
visitors from every land. 1t is also
one of the most cosmopolitan cities
on the globe. Men. strangely garbed,
from the cradle of civilization across
the seas mingle here with red men
from Montana and the Dakotas, who
are descended in direct line from
the first Americans. People from all
countries, wearing the distinctive
costumes and ornaments of their
nationalities, come and go and en-
phasize washington's Importance as
world center.
'All of these features make Wash
ington an enchanted city. 1t is a
magnet that draws and holds people
with force that is often irresistible.
In too many instances, also, it is the
fame that attracts the moth, only to
scorch it's wings.

fascination are to be found among

this business. in the wrong way"
The other correspondents looked
as if they expected the newcomer in
their midst to be pitched out of the
front door any minute. No other
correspondent had ever dared to start
rough house with the impetuous
President. But Roosevelt craved
fuller information. He made an ap-
pointment for conference with
Welliver at the White House the next
night, at which the speech was re-
drafted. The railroad valuation in
itiated under the Roosevelt admins
tration is still in progress.

THE real origin of the nature
faker" interview with President
Roosevelt is exposed by Mr.. Ludlow,
who gives credit for coming the
phrase nature faker," which echoed
around the world, not to Roosevelt
but to Edward B. Clark, a Washing
ton correspondent, who was Roose-
velt's Fidus Achates.
This famous interview stirred the
scientists to rabid disputes and was
translated into several foreign Ian
guages. 1t had it's origin IN casual
conversations between President
Roosevelt and MI. Clark, during
which the President took occasion to
deplore what he declared was the
tendency of writer's of school text
books to pervert the facts of nature.
Mr. Clark quite agreed with him
and the idea of blowing the pseudo
naturalists out of water originated,
not with the President. but in the
fertile brain of the newspaper man.

the Presidents views as expressed in

the government clerks. The depart
mental service is a graveyard. where
in numerous sad instances ambition
is buried, never to be resurrected.
I'm Il country like the United States,
where government rests on the con-
sent of the governed, which consent
is attended by regular upheavals in
the personnel of administrative and
legislative officials, it is inevitable
that every quadrennium, at least,
should witness a large number of
derelicts on the political waters. At
the beginning of a new administra
that marks a change in the political
control of the government from one
party to the other-the same types

Mr.. Ludlow had the honor of hav-
ing first suggested in public print
that Thomas r. Marshall might be
elected Governor of Indiana, which
proved to be the starting point of his
meteoric political career.
X = :. <
GENERAL amusing anecdotes about
~ Marshall are told by Mr.. Ludlow,
as, for example, how President Will
son appreciated the inscription on the
fiyleaf of a book, From his only
Vice." 1t was Marshall who described
the Senate office building as having "a

upon it as an issue to drive Adams
and his party out of power. In these
days, when Congress often appro-
PIRATES hundreds of millions of dollars
without batting a legislative eye, the
charges of reckless waste brought
century ago against Adams for pur-
chasing forty-dollar mirror seem
almost unbelievable.
