his still remembered character of Lord
Dundreary.
The assassin. Booth. familiar With
the theater, visited the box about Q

the various positions of its occupants.
~ was supposed, at the time, that it
was due to a mistake or the exercise
OF an impairment curiosity. Unknown
10 the presidential party, Booth had,
during the day, bored a hole through
the door Of the box for observation or
perhaps 10 fire through.
AT 10 p. m. Booth again entered the
Dox, quietly holding a pistol in one
hand and a knife, or dirk, in the other.
Major Rathbone rose and asked this
intruder his business. Booth rushed
past the major without making a re-
ply and, placing his pistol close to the
presidents head, actually in contact
with it, fred, and instantly sprang
upon the cushioned baluster Of the box,
when he made a backward plunge
with his knife, aimed at the face or
breast of Mr.. Lincoln. Major Rath-
bone, springing forward TO protect the
president, received the stab in his
arm.
1t was towards the latter part of
the play. Perfect stiffness reigned
throughout the house. The audience
listened to the dialogue between Flor
ence Trenchard and May Meredith,
when the pistol shot rang through the
theater. 1t vas apparently fired be-
hind the scenes on the right of the
stage, and it was accepted by the au-
dience as an introduction to some new
passage, several of which had been
interpolated in the early part of the
play.
Booth had been noted as a leaper,
having become habituated to sensa-
tional leaps in his repertoire of charac-
tiers. He leaped nine feet down on the
stage, but his spur caught in the flag
decorating the front of the presidential

MANY IEGARD, woodstock, Ont.
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla has won its way
TO every corner of the world by the praise
of its friends those who have tried il and
who know they were cured by the use OF
the remedy. There is nothing SO strong
as this personal testimony. IT throws all
theories aud fancies TO the winds aud
stands solidly upon the rock of expert
ence challenging every skeptic with a
positive ~ knog." Ayers S~arsapariila
with its purifying and vitalixing action on
the blood is a radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors, sores,
ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis
eases yield promptly 20 this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla usually results in a complete cure.
Mary Lingard began with a bottle, and
went on TO a course of DIT. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. When she was cured she realized
that a medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent IL. SO She took a couple
of bottles each spring and kept in perfect
nealth. There are thousands OF similar
cases on record. Some OF these are
gathered into Or. Ayers Curebook, a little
book of 100 pages which is sent free by the
J. {, Aver Co, Lowell, Mass. Write for it.

as is, perhaps, now realized. In a let

words that strike the keynote OF his

visit Burlington, n. j., on that mem
orable 14th Of April, and he according
ly sent to President Lincoln a note of
regret at his inability to accompany
him to the theater that evening, leav-
ing Washington on the 6 p. m. train.
To Schuyler Colfax, then speaker OF
the house, the president extended an
invitation to attend the theater as late
as SIS p. M, for 1t was not until then
that the presidents party left the white
house. President Lincoln manifested
a curious reluctance to going, but stat
ed that the papers had advertised that
himself and General Grant would both
attend, and, since General Grant had
left Washington, he did not want TO
have the audience disappointed, as the
people would expect to see at least n
of them.
The theater was crowded. The box
reserved for the presidential party was
the double box forming the second tier
on the right-hand side of the stage.
The front of the box was decorated
with flags and in the center, on the out
side, hung an engraving of Washing
ton.
AS the Grants had declined an inyi-
tation TO attend, Mrs. Lincoln invited,
in their stead, Miss Harris, daughter
of Senator Ira Harris, and Major Henry
r. Rathbone, the senator's stepson.
The play presented was the original
version of Tom Taylor's Our Ameri-
can Cousin" as 1t was always given
before the late E. A. Sothern's changes

box and as he reached the stage he
fell, recovering himself in a wonderful
way, though his leg was broken. He
bounded across the stage, pushing past
Miss Laura Keene, who stood near
the prompter's desk, striking her on
the hand with his own, still holding
the dagger. AS he crossed the stage
Booth cried out, dramatically, sic
semper tyrannis!" and Il have done
it," Once through the side scenes
Booth quickly escaped by the rear door
OF the theater, where a horse awaited
him, its bride held by an employe of
the theater whom Booth rewarded
with a kick, his agony from his broken
leg being intense.
Meanwhile the shrieks Of Mrs. Lin
coin made clear to the audience the ma
ture Of the horrible crime that had
just been perpertrated. Pandemonium
reigned. Women cried, men followed
and children screamed. Miss Laura
Keene advanced to the footlights and
called out: For Gods sake, have pres
ence Of mind! Keep your places and
all will be WE'LL"
Miss Harris called to Miss Keene to
bring some water, which the actress
did, and afterwards accompanied Mrs.
Lincoln to the house opposite, to
which the unconscious president was
at once removed. 1t was found that
he had been shot through the head,
above and back of the temporal bone,
and that some of the brain was oozing
out and that death was inevitable.

on looking up saw one OF the worst

quickened his pace. He had proceeded
but short distance when he heard a

the mailman had climbed over the wall
snd was following him. Eddie walked
last but the maniac, who was an Inn
mense fellow, with face that wore a

ted little, and the mailman trotted
after him. Eddie finally broke into a
