f. L. Hickok contributes to the Alie-
gan (Mich.) Press some interesting
"reminiscences relating to the Lincoln
assassins. He was at that time in the
18th v. r. c.. which was doing guard
duty at the Old Capitol Prison. The
night of the assassination they were all
turned out, and, aided by regiments
then in or near the city, formed a line
of battle 1000 strong. The town was
put under strict martial law, for all
sorts of rumors were afloat, and it was
not known what manner of disturb
ance would take place. His regiment
was later sent to the Potomac wharf,
where it received the assassin, Payne,
who had chained to him a large ball
which soldier carried. The other pris-
oners were similarly shackled, and they
were all taken to the Old Capitol Pris
on. A Sergeant said that Booths body
had been brought up on a boat, and
had been buried underneath a block OF
tagging in the yard of the penitentiary.
This was about where President Roose-
welt laid the cornerstone for the War
College.

of Sergeant on special duty, which
amounted to 81 cents a day, while civil

Vine Day.
The Washington public school chill
dren observed Vine Day" last Monday.
That is a new one, don't you know, but
quite a charming fad which 1t is hoped
will last. 1t was the first time that the
Washington school children had had
such day, too. The real feature Of
Vine Day is to make the fences around
school yards look better and more at
tractive. These school yards are the
Fairgrounds of the children thruout the
Summer, and so IL seemed to the kids
who play there that they wanted some
thing prettier than time-worn bricks
or rough-hewn stone to look at
All the plants that were planted were
given to the children by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. They are mostly
English ivy, moon vine. honeysuckle
and clematis. These. mostly speedy
growers, will soon cover the now bare
fences and walls, SO that In the sum-
mertime those children playing there
will have at least a small share of the
were planted. These were given by the
children, who planted them and will
care for them.
Aside from the planting of vines and
seeds exercises were held. In this way
it is hoped that the children will be-
come interested in the work. At a
number of the schools the programs
carried out were exceedingly interest
ing.
This movement, so successfully car
ried out, was started by Miss Susan B.

President Taft All Right.

The Spanish War Veterans got 1t into
their heads some way that the Presi-
dent was not friendly to them; perhaps
not exactly that, but at least that he is
inclined to think the Spanish-American
War little one, and that the young
veterans are demanding more than is
their due in recognition from the Unit
ed States Government. Gustave e.
Rausch. Commander of the Depart
ment of the District of Columbia Unit
ed Spanish War Veterans, desirous of
settling the question. asked the Presi-
dent by letter If this report was true.
and asked that President Taft set a
time for the Spanish War Veterans to
call upon him and pay their respects.
In reply the President sent the follow
ing letter. which should set at rest at
once and forever any suggestion that
the President does not like the veter-
ans of the Spanish-American War:
II have your letter of April 22, to
Secretary Carpenter in which you ask
an appointment with me, so as to en-
able you to pay your respects to me,
and that, IL this cannot be done, you
desire to secure from me an expression
| of good will for the soldiers OF '9S.
[ which you may convey to your mem
bership thruoat the country. You may
say that many of the veterans, espe-
cially before the last election, expressed
their doubts as to the attitude the Pres
/ ident would assume toward the veter-
ans of the Spanish War, and that an
| expression of good will would be ap-
preciated not only by those who were
skeptical as to my attitude, but also by
those who supported me.
In reply, i beg to say I cannot inn
agine the basis for the suspicion thar
my attitude toward the veterans of the
Spanish War has been other than that
