LINCOLN AND THE SENTINEL

In article in the Century entitled
e'Our Fellow Citizen of the White
House. Mr.. c. c. Buel told the follow
ing story of President Lincoln:
There have been no soldiers as guar
dams under the shadow of the great
Ionic columns since war; and even
then, on one fierce winter night, the
boy in blue who was on guard was not
corum. Mr. Lincoln emerged from the
as he drew tightly about his shoulders
protection, for he was on his way to
ner of the grounds, where in times OF
battle he was wont to get the midnight
dispatches from the field As the blast
struck him he thought of the numb
ness of the pacing sentry, and turning
to him, said: Young man, you've got
a cold job tonight; step inside and
stand guard there
My orders keep me out here the
soldier replied
: Yes said the president in his ar
gumentiTe tone, but the duty can be
performed just as well inside as out
here, and you'll oblige me by going
in
g I have been stationed outside the
soldier answered. and resumed his
beat
Hold on theres' said Mr. Lincoln,
as he turned back again; 1T occurs to
me that I am commander-1n-chief OF
the army, and I order you to go in
side"

Death OF
Lincoln
Now he belongs to the ages

Now he belongs to the ages
The curtain had just been rung down
over the life of the martyred president
IN that humble little room opposite the
theater where the president had, few
hours. before received the bullet of
the assassin Booth. E. M Stanton,
secretary of war, gave utterance to the
words quoted. How prophetic; how
true. Centuries hence the name OF
Abraham Lincoln will still retain its
rightfu1 place in history.
The president had been carried up
the high steps, through a narrow hall,
and laid, still unconscious, still mo-
hon1ess, on the bed of a poor, little,
Commonplace room of a commonplace
Iodging-house, where surgeons and
physicians gathered about in a desper-
ate attempt to rescue him from
death.
! While the surgeons worked the news
was spreading to the town Every man
and woman in the theater rushed forth
to tell it. Some ran wildly down the
streets. excIaiming to those they met.
The president is killed. The presi-
dent is killed." One rushed in a ball
room and told 1t to the dancers; an
other, bursting into a room where
party of eminent public men
were playing cards, cried, Lin
coin is shot Another, run
ming into the auditorium of Growers
theater, cried. President Lincoln has
been shot, in his private box, in F'ord's
theater.' Those who heard the cry
thought the man insane drunk, but
a moment later they saw the actors
In a combat called from the stage, the
manager coming forward. His face was
pale his voice agonized, as he said,
Ladies and gentlemen, 1 feel it my
duty to say to you that the announce
ment made from the front of the the
Rter just now is true-President Lin
colin has been shot, One ran to sum
up at the door of the house where the
president lay was sent to the White
house for Robert Lincoln. The news
spread by the very force of its own
horror, and as it spread it met other
news less terrible At the same
hour that Booth had sent the ball into
the presidents brain man had forced
his way into the house of Secretary
Seward, then lying in bed with a
broken arm, and had stabbed both the
secretary and his son Frederick so Sc
riously that it was feared they would
die In his entrance and exit he had
wounded three other members of the
household Like Booth, he had es-
capped. Horror bred rumor, and Secre-
Eary Stanton, too, was reported wound
ed, while later it was said that Grant
had been killed on his way north.
Dread seized the town. stRumors are
so Thick wrote the editor of the
National InteIligencer, at O'Clock in

hour Is so intense that we rely entire
