Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 278, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 November 1911 — Parlette a Very Serious-Minded Fanny Man. [ARTICLE]

Parlette a Very Serious-Minded Fanny Man.

“Parlette is a paradox. He is truly a funny man, but he doesn’t want to be classed as such. Perhaps that fa why he fa so naturally, so winningly, and so irreslstably funny. In truth he is a serious-minded man, desirous of .contributing what he can to the betterment of mankind. Nor need he worry about the fulfillment of such a mission, for fa the garb of wholesome, happy humor he drives home the best of life’s lessons. “Parlette’s figures of speech are perhaps the most striking feature of his lectures. Where he gathered them all would be hard to. imagine. They are terse and true. Some of them keep an audience thinking, for a minute; but finally the point “soaks in” and everybody laughs.”—Glendive, Montana, Review. - At the Presbyterian church Monday night, Nov. 27.
