How the Booths Got a skull.

NNufllo IFNN'Nis
II seems that on one occasion when IN
Louisville the elder Booth engaged IN 4
practical Joke which came very near ending
in a serious manner Full of strange
moods. he set out alOOt one day on the
Bargetown pike, and on passing q field IN
which a horse was grazing he secured the
animal. mounted and rode away. InthoSe
DAYS horse stealing was regarded a capital
offense in Kentuck. 1t so happened that
the r~reatest horse thief in that section ut
this time wasa man named Fontalne, upon
whose head a price was fixed. Careless OF
this somewhat OminouS circumstance Booth
logged along in the happiest frame OF mlnd
until he met two farmers inclined to be IN
1uisitive. who asked him where he had OBJ
tanned the horse he was riding. a.,
Il captured him in q field back here,
said the tragedian with jOvial trankneSs.
Indeed replied one Of the farmers,
and what may your name be?'
my name is FOnt3ine,' said Booth
without a smile.
s'Fontainer' exclaimed both men at
once. ''Then, you are the very man we
want. Come back to town with us.
Certainly" said Booth, in the most
cood-natured manner, and, wheeling his
horse, he rode back to Louisville with his
eaptOrs,
The city Jail was then presided over by
Colonel Thomas, who Knew Booth well
Riding up to his fortress, one OF the iarm-
ers proudly exclaimed: -
I'VE have brought you Fontaine, the
horSethief.'
'sWbere is he?" asked Colonel Thomas,
and when the tragedian was indicated as
the man he added: what does this mean,
Mr.. BOOth?'
81 haven't the slightest idea" said the
tragedian, assuming an Appearance o. great
candor. 81 met these men with this horse
and they insisted upon giving 1t to me.
vueSs they stole it. Probably one OF them
is FOntaine."
The Mortified c~Ountrymen were ON the
point of being locked up pending an inyes-
tigation, when, singularly enough, mes
senger arrived at the prison with tse lnior-
nation that the real FOntaine had been ar
rested. When he was incarcerated MI.
BOOTH expressed n desire to see him
ouite q friendship grew up between thlslli-
assorted couple. In the course OF their
various conferences Booth Once spoke oil
the difficulty experienced in always having
a human skull at hand when he wished to
play Hamlet"
'aThis shall be remedied, said Fontaine
and he Immediately made his will, deyls-
ing his head to Junius Brutus Booth after
the hanging had taken place. Booth lett
louisville before the tragic occurrence and
probably forgot all about his quondam ae-
ouaintance. Years a~fterYard, when he was
dead, and Edwin Booth was playing IN
Louisville, DIT. Morris called upon him,
told him the story and gave into his pos
session the skull Of Fontaine, which ne
afterward used in playing Hamlet.
