the shippers. He lived above the
store-that is the way they do In the
old country-and he scrimped and
saved and tried to be cheerful. His
friends advised him to move to
cheaper quarters, but Jules was obsti-
nate.
There were horsecars In Thirty
fourth street In those days, but before
Jules had been there two years they
were supplanted by electric cars. 81
multaneously Thirty-fourth street was
transformed. Property values jumped
amazingly. Jules sold out his house
at a profit Of $4,000 and moved to
Forty-second street, close to Seventh
avenue. With the $4,000 and the
profits that were beginning to come
from his business he was able to buy
to greater advantage, to carry bigger
stock and generally push his trade.
He got the business OF Delmonico, Of
Sherry, of Martin, OF every big restau-
rant in New York. Incidentally he
began to assume new importance.
Great hotel men and great restaurant
men who wanted to open new estab-
lishments and to obtain the best OF

sown not later than June, 1912, there
were prizes awarded In all districts n
Saskatchewan. The quality was ex-
cellent. In Alberta 1t will soon be-
come the popular feed. In Manitoba
the growing of alfalfa Is quite success
full, and many farmers are now prepar-
ing land for It.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on his re-
turn from a trip to Western Canada,
furnishes the following contribution:
"I'll dream again of fields of grain
that stretch from sky to sky,
And the little prairie hamlets, where
the cars go roaring by,
Wooden hamlets as saw them-noble
cities still to be
To girdle stately Canada with gems
from sea to sea;
Mother of mighty manhood, Land Of
glamour and of hope,
From the eastward sea-swept Islands
to the sunny Western slope"
It is the inspiration that led Sir
Conan Doyle to pen the above that
has led the many Americans that are
now in Western Canada to make their
home Observation-Disclosures.

those days as they do now, either.
When an association of French cooks
was formed to raise the standard in
this country, and incidentally to make
some profit out of the importation Of
the rarest and most delightful Of
French delicacies, Jules was asked to
take charge Of the agency that the
association established. He jumped at
the offer. He saw in it an opportunity
to do good for his fellow cooks, and
at the same time get business knowl-
edge he otherwise could not obtain.
The prospect seemed excellent to him
for the association to do great good.
He worked hard and faithfully, much
harder and just as faithfully as he
had labored as cook.
His One Hard Year.
There is a difference between work
ing for one boss and fifty. Every
mothers son who was a member OF
that association had his own peculiar
ideas as to how Jules should conduct
the business, and each one of them
gave orders to him. II did not matter
how great the conflict in orders was,
Jules was to blame. He put in the
hardest year of his life trying to
please all the members and wound up
by pleasing none. Then the associa-
ton decided to give up the importing
business and confine its attention to
social matters.
Jules was almost heart-broken, but
the trouble in that association was the
best thing that ever happened to him.
He determined never to work for any
boss except himself. He had $4,000,
a wife and child. Against the advice
OF his wife and friends, he risked that
$4,000 by buying house In Thirty
fourth street near Seventh avenue.
The $4,000 was only small payment
on the purchase price. There was q
mortgage with interest enough to
swamp him unless he made money
fast. But he had courage. He took
over the importing business OF the as
ISOLATION and devoted all his energy
and fine spirit to pushing It. Various
times he had to rake and scrape and
borrow to meet the interest on the
mortgage. to pay duties on the goods
he imported. or to meet the drafts -

Jules has retired now. Only a few
know him as the egg boy of the Aston.
Today he stands as one Of the most
prominent Frenchmen Of New York.
He seems to have dropped into the
place Henry Maillard once occupied
in the French colony. Like Maillard
he has been president of the Cercle
Franchise Harmonic and head of tho
great French hospital. Wealth has
poured in on him until he has become
a millionaire several times over. He
Is vice-president Of one of the uptown
banks. The big dividends he gets
each year from the company that now
manages his business provides money
enough to look after all his charities
and let him do little business on the
side in real estate. He has made all
his money between Thirty-fourth and
Forty-second streets, and he has the
most supreme confidence in that strip
of New York. He buys and he sells,
buys and sells. He never has had
loss.
Americas Debt to Jules.
No man has done more to raise the
art OF cookery In America. There
scarcely has been a great hotel built
anywhere in the United States within
the last twenty years whose proprie-
tor has not consulted him about the
arrangement of the kitchen or the re-
lection of the culinary staff. With all
his prosperity, with all the dignity
that money and position end age give
to man, Jules still loves to cook. He
has all the enthusiasm and l. far
wider appreciation OF his art than he
had when he was the egg boy Of the
Aston.

II was sad, sad day, then. when he
announced to Henri that he was go
ing to leave. The chef almost had q
fit. 1t was unthinkable that Jules should
go. The kitchen would be desolate
without him. Henri would be desc
lated. What would the long-tim pa
irons of the hotel, who had come to
lean upon Jules. say and do? Was 1t
money? Was Jules not contentt
No, 1t was not money, and every
one was kind and good to Jules. But
his art called him elsewhere. He
never would be the real master, never
would know supreme satisfaction until
he was in command of every branch Of
his glorious profession. He was going
to take a postgraduate course In the
pastry line. Everything else of the
kitchen he was supreme in. A few
years would round him out as fin
ished artist.
Became a Pastry Artist.
Jules went to famous pastry cooks

he was creating things in the pastry
line that the great pastry cooks per-
haps had dreamed Of, but never had
been able to produce. There were
some great pastry artists in the
kitchen. They were men of Paris,
Berne. Strasburg and Berlin. No city
of the world produces greater and bet
ter cooks than Strasburg.
Jules came from Strasburg. There
still was another branch Of the Gull
nary art for him to take the highest
courses in. 1t was the shellfish. Just
as a student sacrifices position and
time, so he sacrificed his position
again and went to Glen Island to work
a, few years in the cooking of crabs,
oysters, clans and Holsters. Those
were the golden days Of the most
beautiful island of Long Island sound.
Each year Jules broadened in view
and broadened in knowledge. He was
ambitious. He was frugal, as most
Frenchman are, but he longed to be
wealthy. There is a good living in
the kitchen, but not riches or ease.
