SOME ANECDOTES IN MY LIFE
BY Joseph Jefferson.

After | had played rip Van Wrinkle"
in one of the Western cities | received
a letter from a man who said my pro-
duction had afforded him so much
pleasure that he wanted to give me
something to show me how much he
had enjoyed my acting. | am too
modest to repeat all the compliment
airy things he said about me-.
The mans name was Green, and he
had invented a spring bed known as
Green's spring bed. The letter cor
cluded something on this order: Il
am disinterested, but admire your art.
l viii send you one of my patent spring
beds If when you wake in the third act
of Rip Van Wrinkle you will always
say, L wouldn't have felt so bad If l
had used one of Green's spring beds"
When [ was playing in a Western
city a nan with the most ferocious pair
of eyeglasses l ever saw came down the
middle aisle of the theatre and said to
me: "Mr. Jefferson, I think this
starring system is pernicious."
l told him that | nee thought the
same way, but somehow or other a
change had some over me. Said L:
when I was a stock actor l looked
upon d star as a conspirator, but now
| look upon all stock actors as con
sp~irators. The starring system came
into vogue about three hundred years
ago. 1t was invented by one William
Shakespeare.
why" said +, "Thespis was a star.
He must have been, for he was the only
one in the company" / went on to
tell my friend that in all of Shakes
| peare's plays there is n star in the
light of which the others feebly shine.
How about Romeo and Juliet?"
he asked.
| told him that Romeo and Juliet"
made a double star that shines with a
single ray.
l once went by request to Catskill, N.
Y, the scene of the story of rip Van
Wrinkle" to produce the play. Some
people in that vicinity believe that the
story of rip Van Wrinkle" is true. Be
fore the performance and while | was
eating my supper at the hotel l over-
heard the colored waiter telling a COM
mercial traveller sitting near by about
Rip. He said: Eyes, sab: Rip slept
for twenty years. OATS SO, sab. He
slept so long dat dere is a hole in de
rock whar his head rested. sah."
How do you know hat story is
true?' asked the drummer.
The waiter pointed at me and said,
Oats Rip hisse'f."
But l couldn't remember of ever hav-
ing worn a hole in the stone.
After the performance | was invited
to a reception given in my honor at
the Rip Van Wrinkle Club. In intro
ducing me the president of the club was
| greatly embarrassed over something
and said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Ill
wish TOTO introduce to you Mr.-Mr.
Mr.. Washington Irving,"
When Garrick and Barry were play
ing Romeo in London the city was di-
vided as to which one was the best
Romeo. Each actor had a widely diff
ferent conception of the part. Finally
the question was left to an actress who
had played Juliet to both Garrick and
Barry's Romeo. She answered by
saying: in the balcony scene Gar
rick shows so much feeling and is so
earnest that / am always afraid he will
spring up into the balcony after me
With Barry, he is so fascinating | fear
that l shall jump down where he Is"

\. I. Hill Is Elead.

Ex-senator Nathaniel p. Hill
died Mt h,s home in Denver Tues.
day at noon after an illness of sew.
eral weeks. In commenting upon
his death the Times truly says:
SIN the death of Senator Hill
Colorado loses one of it's most
horored men. Perhaps no man
has done more to develop the
interests of the state and the entire
west than has the man who depar-
ted this life at noon today. He
was good man, always kind and
considerate, and every person who
knew him was his friend. Being =
resident Of Colorado for more than
n score and half years, it is no
wonder that he loved the people
aud the state. He saw the present
city of Denver grow from a small
town of only few people to
the magnificent city it is today.
In other parts of the state Senator
Hill has done equally ~ much.
He helped to develop the great
mineral resources, and il was
through his efforts that the first
smelter of any consequence wss
built.
"iIe will be missed in all lines
of life. Always n modest man, he
made friends wherever he went.
Never n person who WAS needy
went to him for help and was sent
away empty y-handed. He was gen.
erous To degree and WAS loved
