Tom Jefferscn's Grip"

Several persons that have seen

say that Thomas Jefferson gives q real
~ excellent performance, and it is so
much encouraged by the criticisms he
mas received that he has made up his
mind to continue to act year in and
year out. one Of the young mans most
intimate friends had this to say: There
is i persistent rumor that Tom played
Rip" frequently before three seasons
ago on evenings on one night stands
when his father was under the wealth
or and that on these occasions the sim
PIE minded country folk did not real
i2e they were looking at the son in
stead Of the father. Now it is a matter
Of Unvarnished fact that Tom never
played Rip before last winter. 1t is
true though that Tom has appeared in
his fathers company. This young man
has been a close student of his father
and has had a wide experience as an
actor. playing the comedy parts with
Lester Wallack and Augustin Days
companies. He was sent to France when
very young man where he received his
education and had entry to the French

GONE AFISHING.
On His Way Abel D. Russell Passed
Through Lewiston.

The Lewiston Journal of Wednesday
contained an interesting story concern
| ing Abel .. Russell of the Secretary of
States Office, who. on that day passed
| through Lewiston on his way to Weld,
where he will try the spring fishing.
Before leaving this city Mr.. Russell
cautioned his friends not to say any
thing about his going away, but asked
! them to wait until he returned when
he would show them the .rand result
of his prowess with the hook and line.
When he got to Lewiston, however, he
| ran across Col. Elliott c. Dill. of the
Lewiston Journal, editorial staff, and
the following is the result OF that I'M
| fortunate meeting:
Glad in a L'Aiglon rain coat and
wearing d soft black hat, the band of
which was filled with Silver Doctors,
Red Ibis, Montreals, Parmachecnie
Bellies, Brown Tackles and phantom
minnows, Mr.. Abel d. Russell of Au-
gusta, chief fisherman in the secretary
of States office. made his appearance
| in Lewiston Wednesday morning.
From the flies in his hat band, the
three fishing rods he had over his
shoulder and the large green bait pail
which he carried in his left hand Sher-
lock Holmes would doubtless have
been able to deduce the fact that Mr.
Russell was either going to or coming
from the fishing grounds. A further
examination would have shown the
great detective that Mr.. Russell had
not yet wet Il hook for his fish basket
was empty ana his pockot-bool< was
full Furthermore Mr.. Russell did not
open his conversation with the story Of
how he caught twelve fish in six min
uteS alone in the boat, close to a rocky
shore, and the wind blowing Il thirty
knot gale. The latter is proof conClu-
sive that the trip is commencing, not
ending. 1t matters not where he goes
nor how the fish bite, Mn Russell al
ways comes home with Il good story.
The y're usually good stories, too
| There is. however one occasion on
which he overstepned himself. lie
came home from tho lake and said that
| he had caught twelve fish in twenty
four minutes. Everyone applauded
| That took him by surprise. He wasn't
| expecting them to believe his story
| without some urging. Dut finding
| them 50 receptive he went on to paint
| the lily. That was where he made his
| mistake.
Yes he said, I got twelve of them
in twenty-four minutes, and there
wasn't one of them that fought less
| than forty-fivc minutes.
You see he had figured out the de
| tails Of his story. but it taught him a
| lesson and he has never been known
to get caught that way again.. He is
| probably the most accomplished angler
in Maine in this respect and there are
| few who care TO cross rods with him on
| fishing experiences.
Mr.. Russell left Lewiston on the af-
| terEoon train for Weld, where he will
| remain till the first of next week. He
owns Il charming cottage on the shore
Of Weld Pond and VIII have as his
| guest this week his brother in law, Mr..
| George Wheeler of Boston,"
