Not until Johansen in cell at San

an innocent man was probably serv-

Johansen, who does not speak En-

JACK J0UETT'S RIDE
TO SAVE JEFFERSON.


finds himself more or less familiar
with every object to be seen there,
due to his residing or to what he has
heard. There is one thing at Jeffer-
sons home, however. that rarely
fails to puzzle the visitor; and
strangely enough. too. because it has
yerhaps the greatest historical sig
ni6cance of all,
1t is the tunnel through which JET
fersoD, then Governor of Virginia,
crawled on his hands and knees in
response to Jack Jouett's warning
and successfully eluded the British
soldiers who were after him.
The story of Jack Jouett's ride is
not generally known, and is rarely if
ever mentioned in text books or his
tories. But for the important hap
penings connected with it. it possess
es great historical interest. and for
thrilling features it equa ais the wild
est flights of fiction. Jouett was d.
rect y responsible for preventing the
capture of the Virginia assembly and
the detainment of many eminent
men of that body, and he also en-
a1led J ,fferson to escape capture
from Tai Lions dragons who had
raided Monticello.
Jack Jouett kept the Old Swan
Travern in Charlottesville. He did
not attend particularly to business,
spending a great deal of time on his
plantation in the neighboring Louis a
county and in drivir g fast horses.
But the travern was so ally conduct
ed by his housekeeper thatit became
famous, ard the members of the leg
islature in Albemarle county, who
lived too far away to ride to the
meeting place from their own plan
tatior S. always put up there.
At the time of the ride C)rnwalis
was ravaging parts of Virginia, and,
aided ty Tarleton's cavalry, was
striking terror into the hearts Of the
country people. Because the capt.
tai, Richmond. was threatened by
this force, the assembly hastily adj
journed to Charlottesville. Amor G
the distinguished members of the
assembly were Patrick Henry, Rich
ard Henry Lee. Benjamin Harrison
and many others almost as promi-
nent, who're capture would have been
a severe blow to the nation. Thorn
as Jefferson was at the time Cover
nor of Virginis, and his term of Of
flee expired four days after his mar
row escape from capture.
Jouett was riding to mis- IlaltatiC n
one day when he saw a CLINT of color
through the trees. He cleared the
fence and caught sight of a trooper
of Tarleton's command Jouet'
drove him to a farmhouse and,
though he threatened rthe cavslry-
mans life. he could learn orly that
Tarleton himself was in the neigh,
borhood. Determining to find out
Ia leton's plans. Jouett char ged
clothes with the dragon and rode
on to the Cuckoo Tavern. He ar
rived very late and lay down fl 9
few hours sleep.
The noise made by Tarleton and
his men dsmounting and entering
awakened Jouett, who slipped out
and listened through the blind to the
conversation carried on by the Off
GERS ia the dining room. In immi-
nent danger of detection. even
though protected by British uni.
form, he listened only long enough
to find out that the British leader in

troops to come up to have breakfast,
and then push on to capture the
members Of the assembly. who we're
then in session in Charlottesville.
Jouett's horse was tired from ex.
ertions of the day before and 50 he
decided to take a longer but desert
ed road in preference to the short
one, as he knew that the landlords
fresh horses could outdistance him.
At one place the new road crossed
the old one and here some troopers
espied him. They pursued him for
twenty minutes, but he eludtd them
and reached Monticello at 8 o'clock.
He had made twenty-seven miles in
an hour and three-quarters. In
moment he had warned jefferson
that the British were near at hand,
obtained a fresh horse and had
started on his way for Charlottes-
vile.
Jouett made this place his destina-
tim in order to warn the members
Of the legislature. who were prepsr-
ing for an early session. Charlottes-
v lie being only fise miles from Mon
ticello, he arrived there quickly end
appri'ed the Legislature of its peril.
When the British cavalry rode up at
10 a. IN. the members we're on their
way to Staun'on.
In the meantime Jefferson made
his historic escape from Monte, o.
He first sent his wife and children
away in a carriage to Edward Cart
er's place. which was about six
miles distant. He barely managed
to leave the house himself by the un-
derground passageway before the
British dragons rode up.
In the meantime Jouett had rid
den into Charlottesville and went d.
rectly to his own tavern, where old
Gen. Stevens of the Continental
Army was lying wounded. He
meant to save the old man from cap
tu'e if possible. and so dressed him
in suit Of homespun. put him on
Jefferson's horse with the help of a
stableman and propped him up with
sacks of. grain. Jouett himself
again changed to the influential
uniform, for it was part of his Pill n
to be pursued.
The two had ridden only a short
way down the road, after seeing
Jacks Trsvern burned by the troop
ers. when they we're pursued by the
British horse. JOuett waived his
hand disdainfully at them which
drew their whole attention to him
while Gen. Stevens was left safe BY
the road. Jouett's fast Kentucky
mare speedily outdistanced his pur
suers and that night he Joined Wash
iDgton's army. The news that Corn
wallis was deprived of the services
Of his calvary proved of value to the
continental leader, who shortly af-
terwsrd penned him up in Yorktown
and fina ly forced his surrender.
| A complimentary resolution was
rendered Jouett by Congress as a re.
ward for his services and the Vir,
ginia assembly. which he had saved
from capture, presented him with g
sword and a pair Of pistols. Jouett
was averse 10 discussing his exploit
and this Helps to exp ain why so few
books mentioned h m and so few
people have ever heard of him.

is memorial tablet in the RedlanC

THE EDISON HABIT OF WORK.

The volumes of laboratory note
books and suggestions compiled by
Mr.. Edison are a library in themselves,
and yet his memory of past expert
ments remains keen. In his labora-
tory amid alcoves of books and my
riads of diplomas and honors bestowed
at work as he did in the early days,
upon him from almost every country
in the world, Edison keeps right on
insisting that he has only begun to
know things now, and he is determined
to give the world the best fruits of
his accumulated knowledge in still
greater measure.
He continues to take his four to six
hours sleep daily, and insists that he
is not living for the past, but for to-
day and tomorrow. Keenly interested
in every phase of art and life, he is
also keeping in touch through astro-
nomy with new things in the skies. He
is nevertheless, full of that irrepres-
sible American humor ready for a
smile or new story, and buoyant boy
sh ways relaxing so that everyone as
sociated with him has only words of
affection for the "old man" whose
consideration, patience. kindness and
matchless genius is a marvel to those
near ito him, as well as to those to
whom he is only known by fame and
sonal acquaintances to obtain the full
measure of Thomas Edison's worth -
