Me wearing all my Bells and taking a Hurdle every Furlong." He rushed into the Telegraph Office and sent a Wire to her so that it would catch her at the first Station up the Road."

Book excerpt: KNOCKING THE NEIGHBORS. (1913). George Ade. ***.George Ade (1866-1944) was a popular newspaperman and humorist around the turn of the century. He was a prolific writer, but his lasting books were essentially collections of his "fables." This collection lampoons the foibles and pretensions of his Midwest neighbors - everyday people who are shot down cleverly by Mr. Ade. Many of these pieces start out with "Once upon a time," and, often end up with a terse moral at the end - as you would expect from a fable. What kept running through my mind as I was reading them was the voice of Edward Everett Norton from "The Fractured Fairy Tales" that were featured on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. It would be a fitting background for a recorded version of this book.

Download or read book Ade's Fables by George Ade. written by George Ade and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-13 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Ade (February 9, 1866 - May 16, 1944) was an American writer, newspaper columnist, and playwright.George Ade was born in Kentland, Indiana, one of seven children raised by John and Adaline (Bush) Ade. While attending Purdue University, he became a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He also met and started a lifelong friendship with fellow cartoonist and Sigma Chi brother John T. McCutcheon and worked as a reporter for the Lafayette Call. He graduated in 1887.In 1890 Ade joined the Chicago Morning News, which later became the Chicago Record, where McCutcheon was working. He wrote the column, Stories of the Streets and of the Town. In the column, which McCutcheon illustrated, George Ade illustrated Chicago life. It featured characters like Artie, an office boy; Doc Horne, a gentlemanly liar; and Pink Marsh, a black shoeshine boy. Ade's well-known "fables in slang" also made their first appearance in this popular column.Ade's literary reputation rests upon his achievements as a great humorist of American character during an important era in American history: the first large wave of migration from the countryside to burgeoning cities like Chicago, where, in fact, Ade produced his best fiction. He was a practicing realist during the Age of (William Dean) Howells and a local colorist of Chicago and the Midwest. His work constitutes a vast comedy of Midwestern manners and, indeed, a comedy of late 19th-century American manners. In 1915, Sir Walter Raleigh, Oxford professor and man of letters, while on a lecture tour in America, called George Ade "the greatest living American writer."
Download or read book Ross-Ade written by Robert C. Kriebel and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dave Ross (1871-1943) and George Ade (1866-1944) were trustees, distinguished alumni and benefactors of Purdue University. Their friendship began in 1922 and led to their giving land and money for the 1924 construction of Ross-Ade Stadium, now a 70,000 seat athletic landmark on the West Lafayette campus. Their life stories date to 1883 Purdue and involve their separate student experiences and eventual fame. Their lives crossed paths with U.S. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Henry Ford, Amelia Earhart, and Will Rogers among others. Gifts or ideas from Ross or Ade led to creation of the Purdue Research Foundation, Purdue Airport, Ross Hills Park, and Ross Engineering Camp. They helped Purdue Theater, the Harlequin Club and more. Ade, renowned author and playwright, did butt heads with Purdue administrators at times long ago, but remains a revered figure. Ross's ingenious mechanical inventions of gears still steer millions of motorized vehicles, boats, tractors, even golf carts the world over.

Book excerpt: George Ade (1866-1944) was an American playwright and humorist. Ade wrote for some newspapers before finding work at The Morning News. He began publishing his own work in 1896. Extract: Out in the Celery Belt of the Hinterland there is a stunted Flag-Station. Number Six, carrying one Day Coach and a Combination Baggage and Stock Car, would pause long enough to unload a Bucket of Oysters and take on a Crate of Eggs. In this Settlement the Leading Citizens still wear Gum Arctics with large Buckles, and Parched Corn is served at Social Functions. Two highly respected Money-Getters of pure American Stock held forth in this lonesome Kraal and did a General Merchandizing. One was called Milt, in honor of the Blind Poet, and the other claimed the following brief Monicker, to wit: Henry. These two Pillars of Society had marched at the head of the Women and School Children during the Dry Movement which banished King Alcohol from their Fair City. As a result of their Efforts, Liquor was not to be obtained in this Town except at the Drug Stores and Restaurants or in the Cellar underlying any well-conducted Home. For Eleven Months and Three Weeks out of every Calendar Year these two played Right and Left Tackle in the Stubborn Battle to Uplift the Community and better the Moral Tone. They walked the Straight and Narrow, wearing Blinders, Check-Reins, Hobbles and Interference Pads.
