A TIMELY SUGGESTION

Overconfidence is deceptive

bilious undertakings says the Man
ufacturers' Record. at is sad, but
tr,sa. that many communities. after
theoretically working for their de-
vclorment and seeing their efforts
rewarded with fair measure OF
success, have stopped for little
rest ana dropped off to sleep. Some
are awaking with a shout, but alas
many are moving along drowsliE.

JOHN WILKES BOOTH

Occasionally during the past half
century, doubt has been expressed
concerning the fate Of John Wilkes
Booth, who shot and killed Presi-
dent Lincoln on the night Of Apri.
IA, 1865, in Ford's Theatre in Wash
ington. Lovers of the marvellous
have read with interest statements
to the effect that the a.ctor was not
killed in the Garrett barn by Serg-
cant Boston Corbett, but escaped
and wendell his way to another
section Of the world where he lived
for years under an assumed name.
A long story appeared in Wash
ington paper yesterday in which it
was alleged Booth lived years after
the scenes of 1865 and died in Ok
lahoma. The writer makes an IN
fortunate blundcr, however, when ne
saws Doctor Musld, who rendered
surgical aid to Bccth was tried and
hanged. The doctor was sentenced
to servo six years on the Dry Tort
ugas. where he proved of materla!
assistance to ether physicians IN
CURLING yellow fever.
Many years ago the editor of an
Ohio paper came to Alexandria for
the purpose of ascertainlng the &c,
tual facts in connection with the
killing Of Colonel Ellsworth by
James T. jackson in the. Marshal!
House May "a, 1861. In describing
the dual tragedy he states that
after jackson shot Ellsworth nc
was quickly dispatched by Sergeant
Bcstcn CorGett. Corporal Brcwnell,
rs we all know, shot and killed
Jackson.
Many people prefer to credit the
marvellous. Readers of French his
tory are convinced that the Dauphn
died years after Louis the Sixteenth
and Maria Antoinettc,. his father
and mother, had been headed. The
little Prince had been placed under
the pious care of Simon the shoe
maker. Mrs. Muhlbach in one Of
her novels. however, attempts to
show that the Dauphin grew to be
a man and was known for years by
his friends as Louis the Seven
teeenth.

REFUGEES IN NEED OF
ALL KINDS OF GARMENTS

Every kind Of garment, for all
ages and both sexes, is urgently
needed. In addition, piece goods,
light, warm canton flannel and
other kinds Of cloth from which to
make garments for newborn babies,
ticking, sheeting, and blankets,
wooien goods of any kind-and
shoes of every size are asked for.
Scrap leather is needed for repair
ing footwear.
Since the clothes will be subject
ed to the hardest kind of wear, only
garments of strong and durable ma
terials should be sent. II is useless
to offer to any afflicted population
garments of flirsy material. Make
the gifts practical.
Garments need not be in perfect
condition. Many thousand desti-
tutc women in the occupied regions
are eager to earn a small livelihood
by repairing gift clothing and max
ing new garments adapted to needs
with which they are familiar.
