When Radles first made his appearance several
wears ago, it was Impossible to give him any
thing save the warrnest kind Of a welcome He
was a most engaging rascal, whose adroitness
in theft rose to heights almost compelling the
reader to give his transactions another name.
But q good deal OF water has gone under the
bridges since Mr.. Hornungs clever craftsman
began to show how q man might be at once
burglar and a gentleman. or perhaps we should
say, rather, q good deal of blood Sherlock
Holmes and Rafiies, between Them brought the
story of crime back into favor, and OF late years
the volumes derived from their inspiration have
been countless This has somehow put the whole
business in a new light. 1t has been overdOne,
and though Raff1es, for example, Is as amusing
as ever, he now provokes new qualrns. In one Of
the stories collected in Mr.. Hornung's latest
volume his hero explains to the admirinS Bunny
just how he has accomplished certain burg
larry, and when he is asked how he entered
window many feet from the ground the explana-
ton takes this turn:
Rafies took up the which he had laid down
with his overcoat- It a stout bamboo with
polished ferrUle He unScrewed the ferrule and
shook out OF the diminishing series of smaller
canes. exactly like chd's fishing rod, which /
afterw9rd found to have been their former state,

quickly attached to the tip of the top joint. then

In another story Raff1es is led to say to his
pupil VINO shows surprising resource In baf-
fling the police, Bunny you have no more to

began by entertaining us with dramatic advent

chant Of big store and superintendent
Of big Sunday school interrupted him
and said, Excuse me reverend, but
have no time to talk church during
business hours" This is true of the
whole commercial world. II does not
want the church, 1t does not want God
to bother It during business hours.
This articulates in accent clear and
unmistakable the major deficit in our
modern commercialism.
Gentlemen, you must learn that
unless the Lord build the house,
they that build it labor in vain" -
except the Lord build the business the
merchants build in vain. The divine
law of right, the divine principle Of
equity must be made fundamental to
every phase of commercial life and ac-
tivity. A business enterprise not
founded on the law of integrity con-
tains within itself the seeds of its
own destruction. Commercial honesty
must not be policy, but definite
moral working principle. Strenuous
ness" when applied to the rigid en-
forcement of single standard of
commercial ethics Is highly commend
able; when applied to greed and graft
and gain, 1t is swift and sure death.
1t is within your power to help to
correct these great evils which threat
EN- to undermine the strength and sta
bility Of the very greatest commercial
powers in the world--the states of the
Union. You must change your COM
mercial creed which reads: I'm God
we trust; everybody else pays cash"
and word it to spell, "In God we trust
and we trust you because we trust in
| God. We trust you not because you
have the cash,-your credit is good at
Mahaffey's,-bu because we have con-
fdence in your manhood and integ-
rity." We must invite God to be-
come component of our commercial
life. Without God, we build and toll
in vain"

Essentials of a Successful Kitchen


The essentials of successful kit
chen department are: "Order, which
is heavens first law" Cleanliness,
which is next to godliness" and "Eter-
nal vigilance, which is the price of
success" and the time-worn adage,
"A place for everything and every
thing in its place." is especially ap-
plicable to the kitchen and pantry,
where there should literally be a par
ticular hook, drawer or definite part
of shelf for every utensil and for all
articles of provisions and cooked
food; these places should be ample
and convenient for their own articles
and should be reserved exclusively
for them and for nothing else. The
articles in the pantry naturally divide
into certain groups; stoveware, cook
ing dishes and utensils, groceries,
staple articles, provisions, daily sup
plies and cooked foods. The differ
ent articles of each group should be
kept together as far as possible and
each separate article should be ar
ranged in the most systematic and
businesslike order according to its use
size or shape, and it should always
be kept in mind that 1t requires no
extra time to put an article in it's
proper place, provided that the place
is ready for 1t. Therein lies the
whole secret Of success.-Good House
