Start of Hitchhiking

Hitchhiking started long before
the advent of the automobile. In pio-
neer days two men often would
make a long journey with only one
horse. Since riding double for long
stretches was uncomfortable, one
man would mount and ride while
the other started hiking. At speci-
fed time, the rider would stop, hitch
the steed to a roadside tree and
walk on ahead. Soon the first man
would arrive, mount the horse and
ride on past the second until his
time was up, when he would hitch
the animal and 60 along on foot
again.

. Street Links With the Past
By John CIoeett Proctor

One Of the more -than-interesting
historic localities in Washington is
the square on the north side Of D
street between Fifth and Sixth
streets NV, for here on the north
west corner OF Fifth street was the
Police Headquarters from 1882 to
1898, and many notable criminals
were taken there for questioning
Prior to this, according to Douglass
Zeverly, 1t was the home of johnson
H. HELEN, an attorney, who In 1927
was residing on the west side of
Eleventh street near PENNSYLVANIA
avenue, but who built the early
residence at Fifth and D streets
about 1882 and resided here until
his death, January 81, 1867. His
widow died here in 1875.
The Hellens left quite a family,
including Joseph, Walter and w. F.
HELEN. The eldest son, DR.. Benja-
min johnson HELEN, died in 1864.
He was a descendant OF the john
son family OF Maryland. It is said
that he made the first move toward
establishing Providence Hospital,
which has grown from small
building that DR.. HELEN and some
others secured on q corner in the
immediate neighborhood Of the
present hospital.
The house adjoining the original
HELEN home was built by Mr.. HELEN
in 1845 or 1846 and In its day was a
very select boarding house kept by
Mrs. Louisa Duncan, whose guests,
among others, included Senator
Toombs and Senator Alexander H.
Stephens of Georgia, Senator Pearce
of Maryland. John w. Forney and
Maj. Hickey. In more recent years
the Duncan house and the one
adjoining were used for office
purposes.
Webster Residence
In the latter part of 1881 the
father of w. w. Birth built for
Robert Burdine two-story-and-
attic house west of those above
mentioned, according to Mr.. Zeverly
And this was where Daniel Webster
resided. During this time a one
story addition was built to the west
side Of the original Webster house
and the doorway was placed in the
