The Ghost OF Jno. Wilkes Booth


One evening In August, 49,, I was
IN Baltimore City and, having nothing
particular to do, strolled through the
Eastern section of the city. The gates
of Greenmount Cemetery were open
and ! entered. After walking around
for some time, looking at the inscrip-
tons on the aged stones, I finally
came upon a small headstone inscribed
with the name of John Wilkes Booth.
] sat down on the grass near By aid

which had started moving In my brain.
| saw, in fancy, the terrible ordeal
through which our country had just
passed. A.viyidaeicture of the Thea
ter Tragedy" passed before my eyes!
! remember how all this was flashing
through my mind as lay there ON the
grassy slope. gazing at the small,
white stone.
Then, gradually dizzy feeling came
over me and, as | looked, the stone
assumed human shape! Long, black
wavy hair was brushed back from
brow as white a marble. One hand
was held toward me, in an entreating
manner. My blood froze in my veins!
II terror could change the color of the
hair would today be white as snow.
For ages, il seemed to me, the figure
stood staring ut me. At length a Sc
pulchral voice exclaimed: ~ am the

assassination of President Lincoln.

| made an effort to cry out but no
sound came from my lips. After a
pause the voice continued:
after life's fitful fever he sleeps
well;-nothing can touch him further.'
Then turning to- me again he said
slowly and sorrowfully:

Our year calendar brings rs once
more face to face with the problem OF
leaning up the refuse OF winter 4
siege OF accumulation. Community
hygiene depends upon individual effort
and upon the attitude of neighbonng
communities. In other words, we can
not live unto ourselves alone. but the
way we live. what we do and how we
do ID effects everyone with whom we
have contact.
A clean individual is pattern to
his friend and neighbor. A clean
neighborhood reaches out its influence
to its borders and beyond. A clean
city is reprosch TO a neighboring
city that Is less clean.
Crystal Falls has Ii full measure of
city pride and we are quite willing to
take the initiative In making our stand
for cleanliness and do not wish to be
followers. but leaders in all hygienic
conditions for public betterment.
In view of these facts let as, there
fore. set the date beginning May
fourth TO May ninth. inclusive, for
our municipal yard, street, cellar and
alley cleaning. And let us do il SO
cheerfully and so well that it will be
a general partnership in public
hygiene.
