doubtful expedency.
Attendance at church should be pleasure and the
work OF the church should be effort to draw the
people TO the place of worship. To make church at.

NICK CARTER

DEa1l comes to Frederick Marmaduke Van Rens-
selaer Dey the leader OF the chain OF writers
who made Nick Carter the most famous fiction de-
teetive ever created
Dey who committed suicide in New York
hotel. aged 6l was the author OF 1916 OF the Nick
Carter novels.
Edgar Allan Poe created the first real detective
s,ores-"The Gold Bug" The Murders OF the Rue
Morgue" and The Mystery Of Marie Roget"
Gaboriau, Frenchmgn, originated the first IA
karat detective novels His star character, Lecoq,
IS one OF the four creates, detectives OF fiction
Conan Doyle'S Sherlock Holmes was the third
The fourth was Nick Carter.
Nick Carter was really syndicate John X.
Coryel created him. Others with Dey and Eugene
T. Sawyer far in the lead, continued the stream OF
Nick Carter stories that were translated into IL
languages. In South America, Nick is better known
than Shakespeare
These four are easily leaders in detective fiction
From technical standpoint. their nearest rival is
Doctor Benriron, the super-scentiiic detective of
Ernest NJ Poates stories
Many man, reading OF Dey's departure into
the Grea, Beyond will turn back wstiuly in mem
ory to his youth when he read five-cent yellow
back novels" in the haymow.
There wasn't as much crime in those days a:
now. A murdsr was exceptional. The average
parent OF 20 and 80 years ago feared that Lad
nigh, get his head full OF wild notions by reading
Nick Carter.
But the boys read Nick Carer-on the quiet.
Time has made us realize that Nick Carter wa:
pretty good reading. Virtue always trumphed ant
the villain always was foled and punished in the
Nick Carter stories.
The present generation would be better off i
|. read Nick Carter and even the namby- pamby RolC
stories instead OF the modern flood of erotic an,
decadent trashy fiction
Farewell Nick Carerl You were a great de
tsctive.

solves itself down into a straight proposition OF how

Home is the fundamental thing 1t is the core Of

home, it is mighty poor stick OF man or woman
