EDWIN 6ookn and 6iNCotus
II has long been known that Edwin
Booth felt deeply the grief that 1t was
one Of his own family who took Abra-
ham LIncoln's life. This little story,
which the editor Of a well known mag
azine Is fond OF telling. emphasizes that
fact:
When was a boy lived In Chicago
near Lincoln park. Once when Edwin
Booth was playing In the city l went
with another boy to hear Hamlet"
/ was permitted to spend the night at
my friends house, but went home for
breakfast
At that early hour Lincoln park was
deserted, but as / drew near St
Gaudens' great statue Of Lincoln 1 saw
a carriage approach, driven by a negro
coachman. 1t stopped before the stat
ne, the door opened and out stepped
Edwin Booth. Curious to see what
would happen, stepped behind
clump Of shrubbery where i might
watch unobserved.
The great actor stood for a moment
before the wonderful bronze with his
head barred. Then he took rose from
his buttonhole and laid it at the base
OF the statue. He entered the carriage
and was driven away, utterly uncon-
scious that the incident had been wit
messed by one who would ever after
cherish its memory.-Youth's Compan-
ion.
