j. Adam BeGe, Who Has Won Fame
as the Humorist of Congress-.


as the Hum0rist of Congress-.
j. Adam Bede who recently sprang
into fame as the new humorst of con-
gress, is a quaint product of American
life and has had most picturesque
career. He was born on farm III Lo-
rain county, o., in 1866, learned the
printers trade and then started out to
make his fortune. He Travelled over
the west and south. finally landing in
Washington, where he worked as a
reporter
This life did not suit him, however,
so he migrated to the northwest and
established newspaper in Duluth.
Later he removed to Tower and started
Bedes Budget, filling it with his own
humorous philosophizings.
When Mr. Cleveland was elected the
second time Bede put in a petition for
the United States marsha lship of Min
nesota. It was written on sheet of
birch bark, and he concluded by say
ing that if the president did not choose
him for the Office he was still able to
paddle his own canoe.
Bede evidently had little idea of get
ting the job and was probably as
much surprised as the older politicians

public schools elevated, all OF which
has been accc m plished on q cash

compelled to anticipate the fall COL
