Each spring. for a number of years,
it was The custom Of the late Joseph

he had his winter home, for theatri-
cal tour of six weeks. He was once
asked by the writer If, after nearly
seventy years On the stage. bic did not
find this professional work burden

his spring tour was the easiest way
that he knew OF to make about thirty
thousand dollars. Mr.. Jefferson was
always fond of telling stories, and Of
ten told the following about himself;
He had been invited to be present

The competition among municipali
