Text Appearing Before Image:
Undoubtedly he conspired to kidnap the
President- that would appeal to him ; but
after that I truly believe he was a tool— cer-
tainly he was no leader. Those who led him
knew his courage, his belief in Fate, his loy
alty to his friends ; and, because they knew

these things, he drew the lot, as it was meaning
he should from the first. Then, half mad, he
accepted the part Fate cast him for—com-
mitted the monstrous crime, and paid the
awful price. And since

" God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform,"

we venture to pray for His mercy upon the
guilty soul who may have repented and con-
fessed his manifold sins and offences during
those awful hours of suffering before the
end came.
And " God shutteth not up His mercies for-
ever in displeasure ! We can only shiver
and turn our thoughts away from the bright
light that went out in such utter darkness.
Poor, guilty, unhappy John Wilkes Booth !

HOME.
By Paul Kester.

I WANT to go home
To the dull old town
With the shaded streets
And the open square
And the hill And the flats
And the house I love
And the paths I know—
I want to go home.
If I cant go back
To the happy days,
Yet I can live
Where their shadows lie,
Under the trees
And over the grass—
I want to be there
Where the joy was once.
Oh, I want to go home,
I want to go home.

THE CAPTURE, DEATH. AND BURIAL OF J. WILKES BOOTH.
By Ray Stannard Baker.

THE TRUE STORY OF THE PURSUIT AND CAPTURE, AND DEATH AND BURIAL
OF THE ASSASSIN OF LINCOLN, NOW FIRST TOLD FROM THE PERSONAL
REMINESCENCES OF COLONEL L. C. BAKER AND LIEUTENANT L. B.
BAKER, WHO DIRECTED THE PURSUIT AND DISPOSED OF BOOTH'S BODY.

{The final capture of John Wilkes Booth, the murderer of President Lincoln, has
been generally credited to Lieutenant E. P. Doherty and a squad of cavalry under his
command. Morse, in his " Abraham Lincoln," says: " Late on April 25, a squad of
cavalrv traced Booth to a barn in Virginia," etc. Nicolay and Hay, in their history,
say: " On the night of the 25th of April, a party under Lieutenant E. P. Doherty
arrested, in his bed at Bowling Green, William Jett, one of the Confederate soldiers
mentioned above, and forced him to guide them to Garrett's barn." Lieutenant
Dohertv has also given himself the credit of the the capture in an article in " The Cen-
tury Magazine " for January, 1890.
