representations, but as the great mas
terpiece in his own repertoire. In
rivalry with it is, of course, hob
Acres, and these two characters, as
Joseph jefferson has presented them,
would have been sufficient to have es-
tablished a lasting fame without any
thing else.
Everything, however, this comedian
has done has been super-eXcellent. Mr..
Jefferson is an actor by lineage and by
education. His father and grand
father, both of them named Joseph,
We're noted dramatic artists.
The subject of this sketch began his
career at the early age of three years,
when he took the part of the child in
"Pizarro, or the Death of Rolla" at
theater in Washington. Joseph Jeffer-
son was born in Philadelphia, Febru-
ary 20, 1929. His earlier years, espe-
cially after the death Of his father in
1S43, We're spent as a strolling player
in various parts of the country. He
went through Texas and at the break
ing out of the Mexican war he followed
the army of the United States into the
ldHtl Vi IHc
to the north he acted at and managed
various theaters, at one time being in
partnership with John Ellsler.
Before he was twenty-one he began
TO think seriously of settling down in
life and was married to an actress
named Lockger. His elder brother
strongly opposed the match, but young
Jefferson was persistent and the we'd
, ding took place in a church in Phila-
delphia Barney Williams and his wife
! being present. Mrs. jefferson died in
| March, 1861, and, in consequence of that
sad event, Mr.. jefferson broke up his
home in New York and started for Cal
ifornia, taking with him his eldest
son. The trip extended to long tour
of several years duration, embracing
! Australia, South America, England
and the continent. The Australian
portion of the trip was particularly
pleasant and profitable. While at the
convict settlement, Van Deman's
Land, now called Tasmania, Nkr. JEFF
| ferson played the character of Bob
Briefly in the "Ticxet-of-L -Leave-Man. :"
The actor in his autobiography says he
can never remember with anything but
the most extreme pleasure the effect he
had upon that audience, made up for
the most part of convicts. They were
in perfect sympathy with poor Bob in
all his trials, and afterward when on the
streets he would chance TO meet one
he was always greeted as zone OF
them"
The list of characters Mr.. jefferson
has played in his time is a very for
midable one. He played Bob Acres
many times in the early days,and never

time on December 90, 1867, to Miss
Sarah Warren, relative of William
Warren, the comedian. He has ever
been liberal in the extreme to his breth-
rem in the profession. giving time and
money whenever he was called upon.
1t was Joseph Jefferson who first prof
fered his assistance to the family of
George Holland after the death of that
genial comedian.
1t was Mr.. jefferson who went with
the son of the dead actor, at Mrs. Hol-
lands request, to the pastor of her
church to ask him to hold the funeral
services in his church. but who refused
upon learning the profession the de-
ceased had followed. 1t was to Joseph
Jefferson this minister of the Gospel
said that though he could not hold the
funeral services of an actor in his
church there was "a little church
AROUND the corner" where the funeral
services could possibly be held. In re-
lating the event Mr.. jefferson did
not appear to care about the slight
yes, insult-to himself as a member of
the deposed profession, though there is
no doubt he did feel it keenly, but it
cut him to the quick to have his dead
friends son hear such slight put upon
his father. Mr.. Jefferson was probably
never so much incensed in his life as he
was at that unfeeling minister
Joseph Jefferson is in these days rest
ing upon the laurels he has so well
earned. He confines himself to two
or three of his favorite characters,
mainly rip Van Wrinkle" and Bob
Acres, and it is hardly probable he will
ever again essay any new role.
He is not perhaps too old, for though
he is 63 years of age his health and
general physical condition are excel
lent. He does not spend so much of
his spare time at his plantation in
Louisiana as formerly. He is inter
ested in politics and IS warm personal
friend of Grover Cleveland. Although
man of much liberality, he was never,
like his father or his grandfather, i'm
provident, and is now worth about
S50O,OOO. The last new venture he en-
tered into was with the late Billy
Florence, when they organized com
binatlon to produce line of the old
time comedies. The venture was high

artistic point of view and was in oper-

JOSEPH JEFFERSON.
Character and Work Of Americas
Greatest Comedian.
Early Struggles Succeeded by Unparalleled
Triumphs - Versatility which Seems
Marvelous-The Actors Famous
Roles-His Later Years.

The true delineator of dramatic
| characters must learn sooner or later
that strong contrasts are the effects
which arouse enthusiasm in an audi
ence. 1t was to the deep impression
this thought made upon the mind of
Joseph Jefferon that the world is
indebted for one of the greatest char
acters ever enacted on the stage; and
although not wholly, but in great
measure, TO that same impression is
that famous comedian indebted for the
crown of glory which he so deservedly
wears. Joseph Jefferson would with
out doubt have become a great and
famed actor in any case, but his
stumbling, almost accidentally. upon
the character of Rip Van Wrinkle was
certainly powerful auxiliary to the
success he attained.
Joseph Jefferson was nearly thirty
years of age before he secured any pub
lie recognition. This was in 1858 at
Laura Keene's theater in New York
city, as Asa Trenchard in Tom Taylor's
, play of "Our American Cousin" He
made great hit and for the first time in
his stage career enjoyed the pleasure
BILE sensation of seeing his audience
moved on the instant from laughter to
tears. 1t gave him sense of power
which his dramatic instincts warned
him to cultivate. In the summer of
1859 the actor went to farm in Para
disc valley in Pennsylvania for his va
cation. He was in fever of unrest
because he was not able to find just the
character he wanted. While at this
farm one rainy day, lying in the loft of
the barn, on the hay, he was reading
1.-The Life and Letters of Washington
Irving" Suddenly the remembrance
of the ''Sketch Book" came to him and
from that his mind turned to the quaint
character of Rip Van Wrinkle.
He went to the house and got the
book and began reading the story. The
result was his gathering up such ma
terial as he could from three previous
dramatizations and by adding some
ideas and situations of his own. He
produced play which was both satis-
factory and disappointing to the
author. 1t was not until some years
later, when in London, that Dion
Boucicault revised the work making it
the representation as the public
knows it to-day.
Mr.. Jetferson's Rip Van Wrinkle must
always stand, not only as one of the

succeeded in making much of It until
he did what was contidered nothing
less than sacrilege, chan, ring portions of
"The Rivals" over to suit his own
ideas. The world at large has long
since passed its verdict upon the mat

taste.

AUNT JEMlMA's QUILT.

A miracle OF cleaning dyes,
Blue. scarlet, bun and green;
o ne'er before by mortal eyes
Such gorgeous hues were scent
So grandly was its plan designed,
So cunningly twas built,
The whole proclaimed q master mind
My Aunt Jemima's quilt
Each friendly household far and wide
Contributed its share:
II chronicled the country side
In colors quaint and rare,
From bellies and brides came rich brocado
Enwrought with threads OF gilt;
E'en buxom widows lent their aid
To Aunt Jemima's quilt
No tapestry from days OF yore,
No web from Orient loom,
But puled in beauteous tints before
This strange expansc OF bloom.
Here glittering stars and comets shono
Der flowers that never wilt;
Here fiuttcrcd birds from worlds unknown
On Aunt Jemlma's quilt.
o, merry was the quilting bee,
When this great quilt was done;
The raftors rang with maiden glee,
And hearts were lost and won.
N>s'er did throng OF braver men
In war clash hilt to hilt,
Than sought the smiles OF beauty then
Round Aunt Jemima's quilt
This work of art my aunt esteemed
Tho glory OF the age;
No poets eyes have ever beamed
More proudly DER his page
Were other quilts to this compared,
Her nose would upward tilt;
Such impudencc was seldom dared
Ger Aunt Jemima's quilt
Her dear old hands have gone TO dust,
That once were 1.-the and light;
Her needles keen are thick with rust,
That flashed so nlmbly bright
And here 1t lies by her behest,
Stained with the tears we split
Safe folded in this cedar chest
My Aunt Jemima's quilt.

AMERICAN COLLEGES.
Why They Have Had an Unnaturaily Severe
Struggle for Existence.

The American college of the middle
of this century, like its English original,
existed for the work of the church If
the college dies the church dies, was the
basis of its appeal for money and influ-
ence. Its duty was to form class of
educated men in whose hands should
lie the preservation of the creed. In
the mouths of ignorant men the truths
of the church would be clouded. Each
wise church would see that it's wisdom
be not marred by human folly.
The needs of one church indicated the
needs of others. So it came about that
each of the many organizations called
churches in America established it's col
leges here and there about the country,
all based on the same general plan.
And as the little towns on the rivers
and prairies grew with the progress Of
the country into large cities, so it was
thought, by some mysterious virtue of
inward expansion, these little schools
in time would grow to be great univer-
sites. And in this optimistic spirit the
future was forestalled and the schools
were called universities from the be-
ginning. AS time went on it appeared
that university could not be made
without money, and the source of
money must be outside the schools. And
so has ensued long struggle between
the American college and the wolf at
the door-a tedious, belittling conflict,
which has done much to lower the name
and dignity of higher education.
To this educational planting without
watering, repeated again and again,
east and west, north and south, must
be ascribed the unnaturally severe
struggle for existence through which
our colleges have been forced to pass,
the poor work, low salaries and humili-
ating economies of the American col
lege professor, the natural end of whom,
according to DIR. Holmes, ''is starva-
ton. David Starr Jordan, in Popular
Science Monthly.
