this story up from Washington:
A little girl whose personal appear

pupils was sent home by the teacher
and told to inform her mother that
she could not return to school until
she had been properly bathed and
dressed. The next dav the 16-year- old

JOE JEFFERSON.

lDcnNCr IGst.)
In the very nature OF things the
eminent comedian, Joseph jefferson,
can not live much longer. Today's dis
patches Indicate he may recover from
the present illness. but the fine old
player is now in the late winter Of his
days. and the curtain must soon finally
fall.
A sweet and lovable man, a singular
ly talented and felicitous actor is MIR.
Jefferson, and the world is doubtless
better for his existence, the stage i'm
proved and almost glorifad by his
simply gentle and finished art
We associate Mr. Jefferson most
closely with the dramatic story Of
RIP Van wgnkle"- It was char
acter n. created. and which he delight
fully ideahzed. softening by his inter
probation the bitterness and harshness
Of lowly life, teaching kindly human
lesson in a quaint, whimsical way The
drunken hunter of the Catskills, how.
ever. was not a worthy parsonage, con
sidering him from any view point. He
was simply a tipsy vagabond and car
ried out the theory Of Charles II. that
"Good store Of good liquor supplies
everything
And the man that is drunk is as
great as a king.
Much more artistic and perhaps
much more artificial were Mr. Jeffer-
sons stage pitcures Of Dr. Pangloss in
The Heir-at-Law" and Bob Acres in
THE Rivals" These characters were
simply inimitable. and of all the long
line of comedians on the English speak
ing stage few have approached, none
excelled Joseph Jefferson in perfect
delineation, In humorous and artistic
qualities of these creations of our
worthy dramatists
But more as a man among mea. a
good fellow, genial companion, de
voted relative. than is an actor will
Mr.. Jefferson be admired and revered.
He possesses the sunniest of disposl-
tions and his kindly optimism has
radiated He has ben true sports
man. a fine fisherman, an indefatigable
devotee Of Isaac Walton a lover Of
the open and believer in the good
ness Of humanity.
Perhaps all this has been possible
for Joe Jefferson. because his lines
wore cast in exceptionally pleasant
places Since the days OF Laura
Keene, Of whom he was a contempor-
ary, and had then short, sharp
truggie for success, he has enjoyed
the worlds good things, the purple Ct
life. When that happens, we are all
inclined to be philosophical, wise and
graeicus.
But Nr Jeferson-now a, the end
Of his long careey-is beloved Of the
world. for he has brought a cheerful
and a kindly note Into current life. He
has given an honest, worthy pleasure
to hundreds Of thousands Of people and
when his epitaph shall be written II
will be said that none knew him but
to honor him, none named him but tc
praise.

The matter is one of civic pride and
