Borne on the ambient air of spring
IT'S the old mysterious summoning;
Waited in like perfume sweet,
Filling office and prosy street:
Till the flicker's drum on the distant spire
Stirs the blood with keen desire
Till mind and body in willing thral
Throb responsive to boyhood's call.
Meadows awaiting, wide and free;
Challenge of butterfly, drone of bee;
The fluted pipe of the bobolnk;
The ripples washing grassy brink;
The flash of wings through the busy glade;
The shifting pattern of sun and shade;
The chipmunk racing along the wall:
Such is the tenor of boyhood's call.
Out at the summons, dog and boy,
Combination of rarest Joy;
Rovers twain while the world is young
And welcome gives with common tongue.

Lies affliction bandaged toe;
Heart for ventures great or small;
Pilgrims following boyhoods call.
Out, midst the realm of the green and blue
Where deeds are worthy and dreams are true;

Leaving the town to its dullard day;
Treading the barefoot path once more;
Seeking the oft-sought haunts of yore;
Lettering back when the shadows fall,
To the arms of home-oh, boyhood's call!

U@I u Il QleS ana so Wnlle we DIS udtlou
Ss@k1 are still rejoicing in the centennial
IQEM99I anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's
- birth there comes also another an
niversary-the anniversary of his assassina-
ton. With the coming of April H. it is
forty-four years since John Wilkes Booth in
Ford's theater in Washington fatally shot
President Lincoln and plunged the country
into deepest gloom when it was glad in the
ending of the cruelest war the world had
ever known.
To make the tragedy seem even harder to
bear calmly it has just been disclosed for
the first time that if one man had done his
full duty to his president and to his country,
the assassination would probably have been
averted. That one man was guard who
had been stationed at the door of the theater
box in which President Lincoln sat on the
fateful night. Intead of staying faithfully at
his post this man. John Parker by name,
quietly slipped away and in his absence the
assassin entered the box and shot Lincoln.
This sensational story was kept from the
public until only few weeks ago, when it
was told in Harpers Monthly Magazine by
William H. Crook, another of the Lincoln
body guards, of whom there were four. One
of them was supposed to be constantly at his
side when he was awake and at his bed
side or at his bed chamber door while he
slept. Mr.. Crooks story in his own words
is as follows:
81 have often wondered why the negli-
gence of the guard who accompanied the
president to the theater on the night or the
14th has never been divulged. So far as
know it has never even been investigated by
the police department. Yet, had he done his
duty, believe President Lincoln might not
have been murdered by Booth. The man
was John Parker; he native of the dis

other guards had done. He is dead now, an

costly mistake he made.

panied the president to the theater to renal

sageway through which Booth entered Mr.

at the front OF the first gallery, that he could

shut; probably Mr.. Lincoln knew that the
guard had left his post

out of the house five times before he finally shot
the president. Each time he looked about the

theater in restless, excited manner
think there can be no doubt that he was
studying the scene of his intended crime,
and that he observed that Parker was not
at his post. To me it is very probable that
the fact that there was no one on guard may
have determined the plan of his attack.
Booth had found it necessary to stimulate
himself with whisky in order to reach the
proper pitch of fanaticism Had he found a

cit makes me feel rather bitter when re-
member that the president had said, just a
few minutes before, that he knew he could
trust all his guards. And then to think that
in that one moment of test one of us should
have utterly failed him! Parker knew that
he had failed in his duty. He looked like
convicted criminal the next day. He was
never the same man afterwards
There were other Ifs also that might
have interviewed to prevent the assassna-
ton had not fate decreed otherwise. For
instance, the president was not disposed to
go to the theater, but he did so chiefly be-
cause it had been announced that he would
be there and he did not like to disappoint
those who expected to see him. If it had
not been for this announcement he probably
would not have gone. If there had been gen
orally the fear of assassination that the few
held, there might have been no opportunity
for such tragedy. few who We're in
position to know believed sincerely that
there would be an attempt on the presi-
dents life.
But the many seemed to doubt such a
thing, and so the opportunity was offered
to Booth to accomplish his evil purpose.

the tragedy any less bitter to know

ANDRADE and
HIS JUDGESHIP
Crawford Application Is
Result of Much
Comment

The situation which has arisen in
connection with the appointment of
Chinese interpreter for the District
Court has created some comment.
Judge Andrade said that he cou-
sIdered me a competent interpreter"
said Willie Crawford, who, 1t is un-
derstood, was originally slated for
the position. But he was afraid of
the Advertiser, and therefore he
would not appoint me. He said that
he was looking for a higher office,
and did not want to be subjected TO
the criticism of the papers"
IL consider Crawford far and
away the best Interpreter in the ISL
pnds," said Judge An,Tade. "Howe'-
er. although | personally nnow abso-
lutely nothing against him, various
charges have from time to time peeh
made against him and have become
notorious. My position Is this: that
do not wish to be subjected to the
criticism of the papers when l might
as well avoid it."
~ The comment on the matter is that
a man to hold the position OF Judge
should first have the courage of his
convictions. And II he has not be-
fore he goes on the bench, he would
not after.
