Jefferson.

In one of the lobbied of the capi-tol la »n oil painting of Thomas Jefferson. The little card attached to the frame simply pays, “Jefferson." This may acepunt for the remarkable story told by a giddy and gushing young man yesterday to a party bf young ladies to wlrom he was showing the sights of the dapitol. “Thia,” he said, pointing to the picture of the smooth-faced gentleman, "la Joseph Jefferson, taken in the costume of Bob Acres. You see, that the cOstame is the kind the gentlemen used- to wear in the time of Bob Acres, but the portrait is considered a very tine one. It wae placed here because Mr... Jefferson is the greatest American actor.” “Oh, yes." chimed in the girls. “Hasn’t he got a lovely face? We always did like Joe Jefferson. And we are so glad to have seen his picture.”—Washington Post.
