When Lincoln Lost His Hat.

eTHE almost unconcern with which
President Lincoln endured and over
looked the repeated attempts upon his life
is well illustrated in the following anec-
dote told by John w. Nichol. a. member
of Company K, 1O5th Pennsylvania Vol
unteers, who was stationed as sentry at
the large gate of the Soldiers Home
grounds during August, 1854. Lincoln
and his family spent the summer months
there.
II heard a rifle shot about IL o'clock
one morning. said Nichol Then Mr..
Lincoln dashed up to the gate on horse
back, bareheaded. and as he dismounted
exclaimed. referring to his horse: He
came pretty near getting away with me.
didn't he? He got the bit in his teeth
before I could draw the rein
II asked him where his hat was and
he answered that some one had dis
charged gun at the foot of the hill and
that his horse had plunged forward. jerk

down the hill, found the hat and returned
it to Lincoln the next morning. stating

but Herold at last weakened and came
out to be manacled. Booth declared
that he would never be taken alive. and

Baker followed in his tracks, rightly

After some work in tracing the assas-

of a farmer, Richard II. Garrett, near
Port Royal, Va. Having every reason
to believe that Booth and d fellow
conspirator, Herold, had stopped at this
place, the soldiers surrounded the
house about o'clock in the morning
