uAlasl qeutlemep.n cried Rim. 81 am

"Alasl gentlemen . cried Rip, 81 am
q poor quiet man, q native Of the town
aud a loyal subject of the king. God
bless him." Here a general shout
burst from the bystanders, "a tory, a
spyl away with him." The crowd be.
ing restored to order Rip told them he
meant no harm but had come in search
of some OF his neighbors. Here a man
said: .Well who are theyp name them.'
Rip mentioned three of his friends but
the man told him they were dead. On
hearing Of these sad changes Rips
heart died away and he had no courage
to ask after any more friends but cried
out in despair. "Does no one here
know Rip Van Winkle." "Oh, Rip
Van Wlnkle'' cried two or three; "oh,
to be surel that's RIP Van Wrinkle oyer
yonder leaning against the tree"
AT this moment a woman pressed
through the crowd with a baby on her
arm. What 10 your name my good
woman asked Rip. Judith GARDENER
answered the woman. Aud your faith
er's name asked Rip. All! said the
woman poor man Rip Van Wrinkle was
his name but IL has been tweBty years
since he went away from his home with
his dog and gun and has eve been
heard of since-his dog came home
without him. Rip had but one more
question TO ask and that was where is
Your mother. On she too the woman
said had died but II short time since, SHE
broke "a blood vessel in a fit Of passion
at u New England peddler.
RIP could not contain himself ne
longer. l Am your father cried he
Young RIP Van Wrinkle once. Old Rip
Van Wrinkle now. Does nobody know
poor Rip Van Wrinkle. An stood amaz.
I'd until All old woman in the crowd
exclaimed. Sure enough it is Rip Van
Winkle. 1t is himself. Why where have
you been these twenty long years?
Rips STORY was soon told for the whole
twenty years had been to him but as
one night.
To make a long story short the COM
pany broke mp and returned to the more
important concerns Of the election.
Rips daughter took him home to live
with her. Even to this day the people
never hear a thunder storm of a sum-
mer afternoon about Katskill, but
they say Hendrick Hudson and his
crew are at their game of nine pins and
it is a common wish of all husbands
that are ruled over by their wives that
when life hangs heavy on their hands,
that they might have a quieting drink
out of Rip Van Winkle's fagon.

WASHINGTON IRVING.

In q modest home at ''Sunnysiden on
the banks of the Hudson, lived an
American author, whose hooks, as
books, were the first to obtain ~recogni.
tion abroad, and whose name was the
first thought worthy Of mention beside
the names of English contemporary
authors, like Byron, Scott and Coler-
idge.
This distinguished author was WASH
ington Irving, who was born in the
city Of New York, April 3, 1888. He
was the youngest 10 of William Irving
who had emigrated from Scotland and
settled in New York as a merchant be.
fore the Revolution.
At tho age Of sixteen Irving entered
q law office but having no inclination
for law he proftsd more by his fathers
well stocked library, Chaucer and Spen-
ser being his favorite authors.
In 1904 he visited and travelled ex-
tensively in Europe and on his return
contributed a series of genial and hui
morous essays to q periodical called
Salmagundi.
The book which made Irying's rep.
utation was his sKnickerbocker's His.
tory Of New York" written in 1909.
1t was q burlesque chronicle, making
fun of the old Dutch settlers of New
Amsterdam.
After this Irving engaged in COM
merce with his brothers as a silent
partner, but devoted his time to liter
allure and in 1878 edited the Analytic
Magazine" in philadelI hia.
At the ciese Ut the war in 1915, Iry-
ing visited England where he was vel
coined warGly by Campbell. During
his visit in England, the little tales,
essays and sketches, winch compose his
"Skstch Book" we're written aud after
ward published in America.
In a few years Irving went to Paris
and in 1922 wrote ~"BracebrIdge Hall''
and In 1924 the "Tales OF a Traveller.
He was then invited by Everett, the
American ambassador to Spain, to &C.
company him to Madrid for the purpose
Of transiatlng documents connected
with the life Of Columbus. With his
materials he wrote the History Of the
Life and Voyages of Columbus" and
1.-THE Conquest of Granada"
On Irving's return to America In
1882 he was the recipient OF almost nat
