BOY WAS SOMEWHAT MIXED /.
HAD Wrong Idea Of tho Sound "a IL
Removed. ~~-,4

Deacon Allen Sheldon, who recentlv
passed away, was universally respect,
ca by all who knew him, and his
stsries were listened to with much de-
neat, says a writer in the Boston
Herald. He used to tell the following
VITA great deal of interest:
when a very small boy he asked his
rather to let him go with him to the
town meeting, He went, with the
promise that when he returned he
woula tell the folks what happened.
In those days the church was sup
ported by a tax on every property
holder. Whatever OF interest came up
for the church had to be voted on at
the town meeting.
The pastor being feeble and his
voice not strong, an article in the
town warrant called for the removal
OF the sounding board from over the
pastors head, since it acted as an ex-
tinguisher, and not as originally
planned. When Allen returned he
told his mother about the sounding
board, and said:
"Mr. Flagg got up and said, in his
squeaky voice: Mr.. Moderator,
make a motion that we remove the
sound from under tho board"

shouting as he did so, Sic semper

partly fell, sinking down until his
knees nearly touched the floor; he
sprang to an erect posture in an In
slant, brandished a large knife which
he held in his right hand for about the
space of three seconds, then darted
across the stage with the knife held
above his head and disappeared. A
few moments of great confusion then
followed, many persons jumping upon
the stage and some passing out in the
direction the man who had leaped
from the state box had taken.

A remarkable souvenir of the assas-
sination of Abraham Lincoln recently
came to light in New York. It is the
pocket diary of DR.. Charles S. Taft,
who formerly resided at No. 273 West
twenty second street. In his time
Dr. Taft was an eminent physician
and attended many notables, among
them Governor o. p. Morton of Indi-
ana. But no experience in his life
equaled the one he records in his note
book.
He was present at Ford's Theatre
that fatal night and witnessed all of
the tragedy which ended in the death
of Lincoln. He was one of the first
physicians to reach the wounded pres
ident's side, was present at his death,
and helped to perform the autopsy.
DR.. Taft's personal account of these
occurrences is embodied in his notes.
which evidently were never intended
for publication.
The diary was found in a pile of
miscellaneous scraps in the baling
room of the Salvation Army Industrial
Home, at No. 52S West Thirtieth
street.
The army home has fifteen wagons,
each having it's own territory These
make daily trips throughout the city
collecting waste material of all kinds
which householders are glad to get
rid of. The wagons discharge their
loads every evening at the warerooms
of the Industrial Home
