Mr.. Beers was not overtime in his
business moralities. A man cannot
live at the responsible heart of such
cruel, element as money, and all
that it's shifting exigencies involve,
without having his moral sense
blunted. It is easy to argue that the
use Of money in a legislative center
is simply q surrender to necessity,
made for the greater interests in
volyed to call it blackmail instead
of bribery, to argue that the founda-
tons of a great and wholesome in
sstitntio should not be imperiled be-
cause of too-nice view of methods
otherwise loathsome; to ease the
gnawing of conscience by the consol-
ing thought that. after all, money
paid to political grafters under par
ticular conditions is spent in the true
interests of policy holders, and that
q little evil may be pardoned for the
sake of much good. zs5

Mr.. Hyde aspired to supreme con-

/, LEE LEARNED GALL RIGHT


Like many another New England
housewife, Mrs. Greene was familiar
enough with the old-fashioned "One-
Two-Three-F Four Cake" the arithmetic
ally progressive recipe for which calls
for one cup of butter, two Of sugar,
three Of flour, and four eggs. Her
daughter Grace. who married several
years ago and went to San Francisco
to live, has recently come back with
her children for visit. When the
tiniest of her grandsons one day begged
for one-Two-Three-Fiye'' Cake for
supper, Mrs. Greene laughed the de-
lighted laugh of the grandmother.
Bless the boy " she cried. Just
hear him trying to countv'
ON, Billy can count, mother" said
Grace. but that's what we call that
cake now, ever since my Chinese cook
began to make 1t,
THE children are very fond of this
particular cake, so after Lees arrival l
undertook to teach him to make 1t. l
had learned by that time that 1t is
useless to tell him how to do anything I;
but had only to make dish before
him, and then he could make 1t exactly
as well as 1.
so measured out the butter, sugar
and flour, and began to break the eggs.
l broke three, one by one, and turned
them into the bowl for beating; but as
the fourth seemed the least bit doubt
full stepped to the door and threw
1t into the pail, and coming back to the
table, broke another egg, which
proved to be good.
Shortly afterward happened to be
in the kitchen when Lee was making
this cake. He broke three eggs into
the bowl, as had done, and then
stepped to the door and threw out the
next egg-which was perfectly good.
When protested, he said, 4 makee
cake samee Missee.' And when looked
into his expressionless eyes, somehow
l knew there was no use in combating
the centuries of the Chinese Empire. I
gave up, and just changed the name of
the cake. 1t was easier than to make
Lee over"

HOW THE CHEF IS TRAINED.

1t Takes Him Ten Years to Acquire
Art of Cooking.
( The chef. whose salary Is $4,000 a
year, tipped the cabman handsomely
and entered his club, says the Phila-

How one becomes a chef?" he said
You want to know how one learns to
be chef, Ell? Well. the answer Is, by
hard work-nine or ten years of hard
work"
"The chef" lie said, "beglns as a
boy, as apprentice to master. For
several years he works under the vege-
table cook. He learns how to make
mashed potatoes that look like white
roses, how to cook and arrange all the
vegetables, from the truffle down, in a
hundred fine and beautiful ways. He
gets no salary. He only gets his
board.
Now. for year he studies raw
meats. He learns how to select them
and how to cut them up. He can tell
at glance, for instance, the genuine
salt-meadow mutton from the false
Along with this raw meat course also
goes study of fish and of game and of
poultry-how to stun, dress, lard, truss
and SO on.
Next for a year, at small salary,
he stands before the range learning
how to broil, fry, roast and bake.
I "He now reaches the foundation Of
his art and Is admitted into the pres
ence of the chef himself-only assist
iants have taught him so far. The chef
teaches him how to make soups, pas
tries, Ices and the more complicated
buildings and souffles Three or four
years is none too long time to study
here.
Ten years of hard work should turn
quick apprentice Into good chef.
Such a chef without difficulty earns
from $25 week up to. $3.50. If he
gave half as much time to the bar, the
church, or medicine, he would earn
thrice as much"
