AIDES fables now appear in syndi-

is said that he sends from $500 to $500
a week to Kentland. Up north of town
he owns $50 of the best acres of New
ton county, each one worth 500 or
more, and over the county the banking
company of which John Ade, the au-
thor's father, is president. has been
rapidly increasing its number Of loans.
Once or twice a month George AIDE
comes out from Chicago to look over
his farms and direct the Improvements

point out as one of his great virtues
that though the world has favored him

theme of discussion that winter: Re

he was elected president of the Python

graduated from High school in 1882 he
was the valedictorian. AIDE was born

When at last AIDE, ST.. decided to cul-
uvate the juniors mind by a course at

with the statement that George was
good for nothing but to sit around the
house and read. But Notwithstanding
this disparagement, George AIDE landed
at Lafayette at the beginning of the
