LIACOLAS SECOND INAUGURATION
HIS PERSONAL ESCORT CARRIED
PISTOLS AND CLUBS-EX-GOV-
ERNOR. OSBORN1S STORY.

Ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborn was
present at the second inauguration OF
Abraham Lincoln as one of the escort
to the president. He was associated
with General Ward II. LamOn, along
with fourteen other United States mar
shals from different parts OF theNorth
ern states.
People who are able to refresh
memory" Governor Osborn said in a
recent interview, twill remember with
what anxiety the inauguration was ap-
preached. 1t was believed that an as
sault of some character would be at
tempted upon the president. The gov
ernmont detectives had been able to
gain a vague sort of information about
a conspiracy against the president s
life, but there was nothing tangible
enough to enable them to make arrests.
That their suspicious were well
grounded was well determined just
forty days later when the presidentwas
shot down by Booth and the conspir-
acy came to light.
President Lincoln was rather dis
posed to poOh-poOh the idea of danger.
He refused to have himself surround

| Ward II. Ilamon, who was marshal OF
/ the District of Columbia, should take
| such steps as he deemed necessary,
stipulating, however, that there should
be no Ostentatious display of arms or

moned fifteen United States marshals
from different parts of the country, Sc

rather than to any personal prOwess

Il shall never forget the consulta-
ton held between these fifteen mar

/ on the night preceding Inauguration

eral LamOn that an assault on the
! president was feared He believed
/ that an attempt would be made to alb

Tim: A Parrot Story" by Charlotte

Boner says:
have read of a father who would not
let his children tell their dreams, because
there is IN such narrative too great tempta-
ton 10 wander from the truth. Parrot
stories are 100 often like dream-stories-
only half true; and they are sometimes
plainly, to any who know the true talking
power Of these birds-made up entirely or
greatly exaggerated. While the parrot
has a certain unmistakable sense of hu-
NOR, and IS corresPondingly wise, none
of the various species is, OF ever was, cap
able of the original wise and witty talk
familiar 10 us in newspaper anecdotes.
In fact. the parrot is never original in
speech; it is altogether initiative; and a
bird that has never heard spoken words
mas surely never uttered a syllable.
But judging from parrots clever use Of
what they learn TO say, it is almost certain
that they come to know, in a measure,
the meaning of the phrase they learn.
