RIP VAN WINKlE.
How the idea Of the Character Came TO
Jefferson.

Ii was while living on his back in
the hayloft of a barn in Pcnnsyka-
ma, whittier one summer he had
gone from economical con,ldera-
tons, that the fir; suggestion of
rip Van Wrinkle" came 10 Jcffer,
son. lie had been reading The
Life and Letters of Washington lr-
wing" Always on the lookout for
great American character suited TO
IN, purpo>c--one that he hoped
would bring him fame and fortune
the mention of the name of Rip
Van Wrinkle arrested hi> attention.
Great was his disappointment TO dis
cover that the character of Rip did
not speak above dozen lines and
than the sketch itself presented few
or no dramatic possibilities. There
were to follow this first suggestion
of Rip Van Wrinkle" wear, of only
moderate success from various pub
lie throughout the world. Through
all this his happy temperament bort
him with charming placidity,
In the early versions of rip Wax
Wrinkle" the elder Ilackett, Burke
and even Jefferson had failed tc
make any really great impression
Ii wa, not until Dion Boucicault
had touched the play with the magic
