OFFERS
FAMOUS SOLON
]. Adam Bede, "Humorist
of House," Speaks on
Legion Lyceunl.
IS A NOTED ORATOR

]. Adam Bede will lecture here on
the Legion Lyceum Course, Friday
evening at the Coliseum. The appear
ance here of Mr.. Bede will be an in
teresting occasion for Mr.. Bede is an
interesting character.
Many people have written about
Bede. Ebert Hubbard in "The Era"
had this to say of him:
adam Bede is an individual. Most
men are merely types. They belong
to breeds, and as all Durham cows
look alike and one black Angus is a
specimen of all others, so do most men
merely represent their breed.
Bede is Different.
"Bede is different. There is some
thing about him that is distinctly pc
culiar, unique, and of kind that God
has not duplicated. The man has IN
tellect, wit, hope, appreciation and
sympathy. In his humor there is
half pathetic touch that reveals to
you the fact that this mans feelings
have been sounded deeply.
"Bede was born in the classic year
of Eighteen Hundred Fifty-Six. He rs
thin and angular. He has a sharp
nose "a firm mouth, and is the kind
that an amateur con man would say
was an easy mark. He is very farmer
like in his actions. He is racy of the
SOIL He is the Lincoln type. He is
just as simple, plain, honest, unpre-
tentious and homely as was Abraham
Lincoln. And Abraham Lincoln was a
very wise and diplomatic politician.
The innocence of Lincoln was on the
outside and the same with Bede.
Big Man of Minnesota.
"Adam Bede should die a tragic
death. For him to live long and dwin-
die away would be calamity. He is
big enough to pay the price of
martyrdom. And after he is dead and
gone, the people in Minnesota will
point him out as the biggest man the
state has produced, with one single
exception and that exception is a
man who does not resemble Bede in
the slightest degree.
"Bede owns one hundred ana Sixty
acres of land mile out of the common
place little town called Pine City.
"He raises blackberries, potatoes,
garden-sass and ideas. In the even
ing he reads Adam Smiths Wealth
of Nations"
Humorist of House.
J. Adam Bede was congressman from
Minnesota for eight years. During the
time that he occupied seat in our
national legislative halls he was wide
ly known as the "Humorist of the
House." so witty were his sayings and
so excellent his humor Often when in
the midst of the ordinary work of
Congress, when there were many
empty seats and general listlessness,
Bede would arise to speak. Immedi-
ateIy the empty seats would fill and
the feeling of listlessness change to
one of intense interest.

NATURE KNOWS NO DEFEAT
Nan May Get Discouraged, but PIantS
and Animals Struggle On TO
the Last Moment.

Nothing out Of doors gives up.
1t struggles to the last and fights
to get along until the final moment.
Sometimes you hear Of human be-
ing becoming discouraged. He has
had bad luck, it is said. Perhaps
he is diseased, or, after he had built
his home, it burns down, or mis-
fortune of some other kind comes
to him-and he loses hope-and
stops. Just gives up, as it is ex-
pressed. It isn't that way with the
birds and animals. They never stop
trying to live and to get along,
George F. Burba writes in the Co
lumbus Dispatch.
Even the plants struggle on and
are game. The grass that is tram
pied down every day tries to repair
itself and sends out its roots a little
further and makes every effort to
live. If it is destroyed over a GER
tain area, it begins pushing back
into that area at once When peo-
pie are driven out Of a certain area
time after time, they get tired Of
the effort and forsake the place; but
not the grass and weeds; they creep
back and creep back until they get
a foothold and succeed.

According to the two men, they just woke up Wednes- day morning and there was liquor in the room. They did not know how it got there or where it came from, but just naturally could not resist sam bling it, and pronounced it work of art. The two men became so elated over their good luck that their joy awoke the neighbors and they were gagthered in and taken before a just judge to explain it to the law. They insisted, however, that the liquor was a gift from Santa, and one which they would have chosen above all others They were fined $20 and costs.

Nothing Is SO Ruinous

Of all your wife's household duties, noth- ing Is more ruinous to her health than the weekly washing. Here's the work she must do. For several hours she goes through the back-wrenching toll of scrubbing and rub ping over washtub in hot kitchen. Then she carries heavy clothes basket out of the hot, steamy kitchen into cold, outdoor air and hangs up the cothes. The result? Your wife is tired out at night, she's fretful, she doesn't feel we'll. She is slowly but
 surely running her health The weekly washing must be done-but not in your home nor at the expense of your wife's health and happiness. At the same cost she can have the entire family washing done just as satisfactorily as in her own home by our Family Laundry
 Service
 At the laundry the clothes are washed in the modern, easy way, by wonderful ap- pGances The laundryman calls for the entire washing and returns it on schedule
 as follows:
 All flat pieces including bed linen, table linen and towels, washed smoothly roned, evenly folded
 and ready for use
 Wearing apparel all underclothing, dresses, chil- dren's garments, etc., carefully washed and dried (and starched where necessary) ready to be damp
 ened and ironed
 Many undergarments may be worn without iron ing, due to the method of drying. This will save great deal of your work in finishing that portion of
 your wash.
 It's dollars to doughnuts that even you a man, couldn't stand the week-after-week labor of wash ing. Why let your wife do it? Have her send it
