With our children it's different,
Mothers who cling to the old form of

action is positive, but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

Story of Occasion When Lincoln AS
oumed His Position as Com
nanGer in Chief.

The man who tells this new story Of
Francisco and was a soldier in Wash
ington. He was on guard at the
White House. One cold winters day
the president started out for walk
all alone It was bitterly cold.
The guard, who tells the story, was
standing in front of his guardhouse,
shivering in the blast of wind. Along
came Lincoln.
The soldier brought his musket to a
salute and Lincoln returned it. Then
the president turned to him and said:
My man, why don't you stand in
side, out Of the wind?''
Cant do it, Mr. President It's
against orders.
But you're freezing out there and
there's no sense to it,"
Its the generals orders that none
of US stay inside the guardhouse when
on duty, Mr. President
Mr.. Lincoln muttered something
about damn fool orders" and started
off, He got about fifty feet and sud-
denly wheeled about and returned to
the guard He paused a moment and,
looking the guard in the eye with a
sort Of humorous twinkle in his own,
said very slowly:
According to my understanding Of
the Constitution, in time of war the
president is commander in chief of
both the army and the navy?"
The guard nodded perplexedly.
We'll, then, as president of the Uni
ted States and as commander in chief
of the armies of the United States,
| countermand that order and order
you inside that guardhousei"
The president waited until the
guard saluted and stepped into the
guardhouse, and then stalked off, waz.
ging his head.

DIG UP MAN-BIRD FOSSIL
Remains Found in Montana Show
Head Like Human Being, With
Body Like a Fowl.

A strange fossil, which some credu-
lous persons say was a creature that
was half man and half bird, was
placed on exhibition at the Billings
(Mont.) chamber of commerce. 1t
was found near Fromberg in the foot
hills and is composed of the sedimen-
tary rock Of the Mosozoic period,
which has furnished most Of the geo
logic data on which the Darwinian
theory of evolution is based.
The fossil is about 21A feet high
and the head is shaped like that Of
the human, with a well-developed pro-
lection over the base of the brain,
larger forehead than that Of the ape
and prominent jaw. The body is
shaped somewhat like that Of peIi-
can with large projections at the
sides and the weIl-defned breast of a
bird. That the fossil despite its hui
man suggestions, is that of creature
half bird and half reptile is suggested
by students.

mains, which were inclosed in a pine
coffin, inferred. They rested there
till 1869, when Booths brother Edwin,
had them removed to Baltimore and
buried in the family lot in Greenmount
cemetery in that city.
1t is impossible to find any marking
or Wilkes Booths grave. There is
none. The ivy growing on the base Of
the tall shaft to Junius Brutus Booth
Wilkes father-was lifted up, a
grave dug close in at the back Of the
stone, and the bones of the Inflated
man repose there to this day.
Others Also Put to Death.
Booth was not the only one to suffer
death for this murder. There were
many other conspirators, prominent
among them being Mrs. Surratt, who
made her home at GOA H street north
west; George A. Atzerodt, David E.
Herold and Lewis Payne or Powell,
for he was known by both names. All
four Of these persons suffered death
by hanging as punishment for their

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDNEY-BACKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
If Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, SO we can readily understand
the vital Importance Of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots Of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache-Ady.

TRAGEDY That
SHOCKED WORLD
Details of the Assassination of
Abraham Lincoln by
Wilkes Booth.
April IA, 1865, VIII Long Be Remem-
bered az One of the Saddest Days
in American History-How
Murderer of Great Presi-
dent Met His Death.

~ " April ii, 1861, the Union
4 3 flag was hauled down at
Fort Sumter, and the war
became fact. On April IA,
1865, the man who had been the
head Of the Union during the struggle
was shot by an assass1A. The world
today realizes the tragedy of his as
sassination, but not so well the shock
it caused at the time.
On the afternoon Of April IA, 1865,
President Lincoln, accompanied by his
wife, went for a long drive. AS recre-
alton he had planned that night to see
the famous actress, Laura Keene, in
Our American Cousin, which was be-
ing played in what was then Ford s
theater on Tenth street northwest, be-
tween E and T streets.
General Grants Marrow Escape.
General Grant was. to have been
one Of the theater party, and the fact
that he was unexpectedly called away
probably saved his life, as there is
no doubt that his murder was also
contemplated.
The presidents box had been draped
with two flags, a silk one borrowed
from the treasury department being
placed in the center. 1t was in this
that Booths spur caught when he
leaped from the box after shooting
Lincoln Within the box was placed
a rocking chair for the use Of the
president At 80 Mr. Lincoln, Major
Rathbone and Miss Harris entered the
box to witness a play of which they
were destined never to see the end.
AS the president sat quietly in his
box for an hour and a half, John
WIlkes Booth, the assassin, was how
erj.,g near, waiting for a favorable
opportunity to fire the fatal shot.
Booth was a handsome, gay. romantic
young actor Of the famous family of
actors. Edwin Booth was his brother
and Junius Brutus Booth his father.
Ardent Southern 9ympathizer.
Young Wilkes Booth-he was COM
monty called by his middle name
was an ardent Southern sympathizer,
and his frequent visits TO Washington
brought him in contact with people
of similar sentiments, and gave him
the opportunity to put into effect the
plan which he imagined would be that
of patriot
For some months he had been Iiv-
Ing in Washington, where he had dis
cussed plans with a band of consDira-
tors. These plans at first looked to
the capture of the president by TAX
ing him bodily, concealing him in one
OF the cellars of the old Van Ness
mansion till a chance offered to get

iting him away to Richmond, and COM
polling the exchange of Southern pris-
oners for his freedom.
But these plans having gone astray,
Booth decided on the morning of April
IA to kill the president in the theater
that evening, and escape at once by
the rear alley making his way across
what is known as the navy yard
bridge, at Anacostia, into Maryland
and thence to Virginia. He never
seemed to doubt but that his crime
would meet with appreciation.

his horse, and led it TO the back door
OF the theater, leaving it in charge OF
a boy named Joseph Burroughs, but
nicknamed Peanuts"
About 1915 he entered the theater
and, walking unnoticed down the
aisle, entered the rear of the presi
dents box
The guard who should have been
on duty at the door was down in he
parquet, in order to see better. Had
he been at his post, it is believed Lin
coins life might have been saved. But
as it was Booth gained access to the
box, and placed in the doorway a bar
which had evidently been prepared
for the occasion by someone in the
conspiracy.
One of the actors, Harry Hawke
was speaking, when, at 20 minutes
past 10, Booth fired shot into Lin
coins brain. At the sound of the
pistol, Rathbone leaped to his feet and
grasped Booth, but the latter thrust
him aside, after stabbing him several
times in the arm.

Booth then laid his right hand or
the box railing and made leap down

his spur caught in the fold of the
treasury flag. and he fell in a crouch

mother.

This bronze doth keep the very form and
mold
Of our great martyrs face. Yes, this is
he:
That brow all wisdom, all benignity;
That human, humorous mouth; those
cheeks that hold
Like some harsh landscape all the sum-
mer's gold;
That spirit fit for sorrow as the sea
For storms to beat on; the long agony
Those silent patient lips too we'll fore
told.
Yes, this is he who ruled a world Of men
AS might some prophet of the elder day
Brooding above the tempest and the fray
With deep-eyed thought and more than
mortal ken.
A power was his beyond the touch of art
Or armed strength--his pure and mighty
heart.
