Had Done His Best. Representative Adam Dede of Minnesota Min-nesota Is credited with tho story of the boy with tho disreputably dirty face, who was sent to tho town pump by the teacher, with the scrlpturnl Injunction, In-junction, to "wash and bo clean." Ho returned with tho chin nnd lower part of his foco looking rather pale, but his cheeks and forehead ro-malned ro-malned as dlrt-hued as before. Tho children roared at his comical appearance, appear-ance, nnd, when tho teacher nsked him why ho had not cleaned his en-tiro en-tiro face, ho answered: "I washed and wiped as high up as my shirt would go."
