At his place of business, in the back room, many
of the boys of the neighborhood would gather
for boxing exercise. These included the Vein

exist with the boxers and no one was ever Sc

The Veihmeyer boys were of a large family,
some of whom were John, Charles, William,
Daniel and Jesse, but only the older ones visited

have been called. A sister of the Veihmeyer
boys May, married Charles Haislip. and lives

until just recently. when it was replaced with
a more modern building Next door but one to
this was Gersdorffs grocery store, and between

John M. Krouse, barber.

Among his children was little boy to whom he
was fondly attached, and for this little fellow,
who was about or years old, he had pur-

because his goat was so small and did not grow

for full-grown goat.

NAL exception to the rule, though he
really did belle his looks KrouSe liked him be-

A few weeks later the writer inquired of the
barber how he was getting along with his little
sons new playmate, and learned to his regret
that Krouse, while in rage because the goat
had butted the boy almost into insensbility had
kicked the goat "in the Stats" which caused the
poor things DEATH and it is quite probable he
did not get another one for his son to play with.
The trading of this vicious goat has often inn
pressed the writer to how really close he
came upon this occasion to committing involun-

lieves that If, after this occurrence, Mr.. Krouse
ever thought of him-and one would naturally
assume that he did-he never failed to associate
him with the Biblical quotation: "a little child

In the same block with Mr. Krouse nearer to

the east, in the triangular block, were the
stables and car barns of the Seventh street
branch of the Washington and Georgetown
Railroad Co., now the Capital Traction Co.
Here perhaps 100 horses or more were kept
to draw the two-horse cars then operating on
this line, and it was indeed beautiful sight
during heavy snowstorms, when the teams were
doubled, to witness the tour horses pulling the
cars over the snow-covered tracks. Indeed, we
oldtimers will never forget the extra con-
veniences supplied by the car companies in the
early days in supplying straw for the floors
of the cars to keep our feet warm during cold
weather. Nor as boys will we ever forget the
enormous rats which made these old car sheds
their home, or the reeds we would get here and
smoke, which we could not be paid to do now.

years ago.
Another well known man of suburban"
Seventh street during the writer's youth was
DR.. Willis B. Pomeroy, who then did about all
the dental work there to do in that section
of the city. He had his Office and residence at
1926 Seventh street. q block to the south Of
Samuel Wise, where young Sam" and Billy"
Wise, the base ball player, lived in a neat frame
house which stood at the south part of the
building until lately occupied as the Mckinley
Manual Training School.
Apparently there was about as much humor
In DR.. Pomeroy as there was in Strong John
Thomson. When it was a case of extracting
teeth, preliminaries were very brief. Once in
side the Office you were in the dental chair,
and before you could say Jack Robinson" the
tooth was out and you were splitting blood
The doctor was large well formed, hand

something just had to come OF course, few
people were then willing to take gas. and nearly
everybody just sat down in the chair and zip"

doctor was quite successful in his practice for

"If connoisseur of hands had been present
