RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF liV i Il JULES, EGG BOY 0 E Story of Remarkable Rise Of Young Frenchman in New York City. Developed Great Business of Import ing Delicacies From Europe and Retired a Millionaire Several Times Over. By RICHARD SPILLANE. In the davs when that suunt. crav pllo known ns tho Astor houso, inn lower New York city, was more fa mous than It Is now, there came to it from over tho sea a tall, bright-eyed youth with n letter to tho chef. As tho big, fat and usually good-natured chef read tho letter ho scowled. It -w was tho samo story. Every ono in Franco who knew him, and soino who did not, seemed bent on recommending people to him for work. Ho was over run with applications. "I can do nothing for you, promlso nothing for you," ho exclulmed ex citedly. "Cooks? Assistant cooks? Oaht Wo havo more in America than wo need. Wo shall havo all thero aro In Franco if this ling keeps up. Ev ery steamer bring n lot, and such cooks 1 Most o. them cannot coo? tho egg." "I can cook r.n egg," said tho boy. "Poof!" said tho chef. "You know not what you say. To cook tho egg is a. gift. Any fool can make tho omelot, shir or boll or fry tho egg, but to cook tho egg exquisitely, so it rav ishes tho eye, stirs tho feeblo appetite to health and desire, brings joy to tho stomach and makes man feel like a jod that that is art!" "I can cook an egg," the boy repeated. hi K tfT- Tlin fnt flhnf utimirrfrnrl fila otimilrlara r "There aro 200 ways of cooking tho eggi" ho declared. "No man can say 3-uly ho can cook tho egg until ho knows them all." "I can cook an egg," said tho boy tor tho third time. Tho calm repetition of tho state ment was an irritation and a challengo to the chef. "We shall see," ho declared impul lively. Ho took tho youth to tho kitchen and left him thero for trial. That is how JuIcb became egg boy at tho Vstor. Epicures Appreciated Jules. Thero used to bo a democracy about . mo uiu uuuou luui wub uuiiiuiui. uuy B boys of finance, law and tho trades D gathered there to feast or to frolic. They had tho tastes of epicures, but, ead to relate, ordinary or much abused dlgcstlvo apparatuses. Soon after tho arrival of Jules they discov ered rcinarkablo merit in omelets, shirred eggs and other things that camo from his department. When tho palate said "No" to other food it would appear grateful in its greeting of one f his delicacies. "Tell Jules it is for mo," would bo tho request of a railroad magnate, a judge, tho head of a hardware con cern. Tho egg boy seemed to learn tho tastes and caprices of tho regular patrons of tho houso with wonderful rapidity. Maybe it was not so much In catering to individual appetites as I i ii uiu uuiuiiuubb uuu ueucucy, uui only in the cooking, but in the serv ing of everything ho prepared. Ho would not let a thing go from his hands unless it was perfect. Jules had a soul abovo eggs. The chef discovered af tor a while that tho youth knew as much about boiling, baking, grilling, frying, stowing and all the other ways of cooking meats, flsh and fowl as ho did about a soufllo that would appeal to the appetite in a WAV to makn the worst dvnnentlc he- ft lleve there still was joy in living. He KC jcould make a soup that was nectar, fjf) and sauces as prepared by blm put on Si a new dignity. Mil ' Henri, tho chef, blessed the day the J iegg boy camo to tho Astor and never coma oe uiBSuaaea irom tno douce that It was duo to his own rare judg ment that Jules was secured by tho famous old hotel Did Not Work by Rule. Jules worked by no vule. Why ahould he? Dack in Alsace, for hun dreds of years, his forbears had been cooks. He needed none of tho latter day aids to tho lords and ladles of the kitchen. Ho scorned tho oven thcr- omoter. Ho knew when all was right. Ho loved to teach others, but somehow tho others never could get the samo results ai. ales. Ho could take the simplest of foods and do won ders with them. Ho flighted in mak ing stows, plebeian though they are considered. They camo to think in tho Astor that stovlng was an art unknown until Jules camo to them He. was radical. The great secret in stewing, he always declared, was In cooking the meat in its own Juices. Next to achieving miracles with tho stew, he did marvels in tho way of 'braising, which Is a combination of stowing and baking. One of tho pecu liarities of Jules was that he rarely worked with a very hot flro. He be loved that cooking at a high tomper- turo was not only wasteful of fuel, but notv ood for tho meats. Ho thought H wac hotter and mora eco- omlcal to cook longer and at a lower omperature. Abovo all things, ho was Aipulously neat. Cleanliness is do- ,rablo to a superlatlvo degreo in tho andllng of tho things wo eat. Jules was a treasure. Every one ibout tho Astor appreciated that fact It was a sad, sad day, then, when ho announced to Henri that ho was go ing to leavo. Tho chef almost had a fit. It was unthlnkablo that Jules should go. Tho kitchen would ho desolate without him. Henri would bo deso lated. What would tho long-time pa trons of tho hotel, who had come to lean upon Jules, eay and do? Was it money? Was Jules not consent? No, it was not money, and every ono was kind and good to Jules. Hut his art called him olsewhoro. Ho never would bo the real master, never would know supreme satisfaction until lie wob In command of every branch of hiB glorious profession. Ho was going to tnko n post-graduato courso In tho pastry line. Everything else of tho kitchen ho was supreme in. A few years would round him out ns a fin ished artist. Became a Pastry Artist. Jules went to n famous pastry cook's establishment. Ho went to learn and ho remained to teach. Within a month ho was creating things in the pastry lino Hint tho great pastry cooks per haps had dreamed of, but never had been nblo to produce. Thero wero some great pastry nrtlsts in tho kitchen. They wero men of Paris, Home, Strasburg nnd Hcrlln. No city of tho world produces greater and bet ter cooks than Strasburg. Jules camo from Strasburg. Thero still wnB another branch of the culi nary art for him to take tho highest courses In. It was the shellfish. Just as a student sacrifices position nnd time, bo ho sacrificed his position ngaln and went to Glen Island to work a few years In tho cooking of crabs, oysters, clams nnd lobsters. Thoso wero tho golden days of tho most beautiful Island of Long Island sound. Each year Jules broadened in view and broadened In knowledge Ho was ambitious. Ho was frugal, as most Frenchman are, but ho longed to bo wealthy. There is a good living in the kitchen, but not riches or ease. They did not pay cooks as much in, I s -u I MmKW I IAW ' Br wKtm if i "I Can Cook those days as they do now, either. When an association of French cooks was formed to raise tho 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 tako charge of tho agency that the association established. Ho Jumped at the offer. He saw In it an opportunity to do good for his fellow cooks, and at the samo time get business knowl edge he otherwise could not obtain. Tho prospect seemed excellent to him for tho association to do great good. Ho worked hard and faithfully, much hardor and just as faithfully as bo had labored as a cook. His One Hard Year. There Is a difference between work ing for ono boss nnd fifty. Every mother's Bon who was a member of that association had" his own peculiar ideas as to how Juice should conduct tho business, and each ono of thorn gave orders to him. It did not matter liow great tho conflict in orders wns, Jules was to blame. He put In the hardest year of his life trying to please all the members and wound up by pleasing nono. Then tho associa tion decided to give up the importing business nnd conflno its attention to social matters. Jules was almost heart-broken, but tho troublo In that association was tho best thing that ever happened to blm. He determined nover to work for any boss except himself. He had $2,000, a wife and child. Against tho advice of hlB wife and friends, ho risked that 12,000 by buying a houso in Thirty fourth Btrect near Seventh avenue. Tho $2,000 wns only a small payment on tho purchase prlco. Thero was' a mortgago with interest enough to ewamp him unless ho mado monoy fnst. Dut ho had courage. Ho took over tho imparting business of tho as sociation and dovoted all his energy and flno spirit to pushing it. Various limes ho had to ralco and scrapo and borrow to meet tho Interest on tho mortgago, to pay duties on tho goods ho Imported, or to meet tho drafts of tho shlppcru. Ho lived above, fn? store thnt Is tho way they do In thu old country and ho scrimped nnd saved and tried to bo cheerful. His friends advised htm to inovo to cheaper qunrtcrs, hut Jules was obsti nate. Thero were liorsecars in Thirty fourth street in thoso days, but before Jules had been there two yenrs thej wero supplanted by electric cars. SI. multaneously Thirty-fourth street was transformed. Property values Jumped amazingly. Jules eold out his houso at a profit of $18,000 and moved to Forty-second atrcct, closo to Seventh avenue. With tho $1S,000 and the profits that wero beginning to come! from his business ho was able to buyl to grcutor advantngp. to carry a blggerj stock and generally push his trade.' Ho got tho business of Delmnnlco, of Sherry, of Martin, of every big restnu rant In New York. Incidentally ho began to assume a new Importance. Great hotel men nnd great restaurant: men who wanted to open new estnb' llshmcnts and to obtain tho best of cooks went to him for counsel. Ho went abroad occasionally to look over tho men of Strasburg, Home, Zurich and Paris. When ho called them to America they came. Built a Great Warehouse. One day Oucnr Hammcrste'n came along and took a look at Jules Forty second street stnbllshment. Mr. Ham mcrstcln saw more thnn Jules' place. He saw a theater on Its site. Jules sold the building nt a profit of $20,000 to tho greut theater builder and opor atlc Impresario. Then ho went into Fortieth street. Tho neighborhood was not good, but that did not matter. Ho put up a great warehouso of about ten stories. It is tho greatest of Its kind in America. From tho cellar to tho roof, with tho exception of tho offices nnd tho living qunrtcrs of Jules nnd his family, it is filled with jellies and cheeses, caviar and pato de fols gras, cordials and remarknblo pastes, con fections such ob only tho rich can af- an Egg." ford, anchovies and pickled nuts, stuffed fruits and rare vegetables, smoked and dried meate and fish that cost enough to make a person gasp, bar le due and olive oils, essences, and a thousand other things that many persons think are necessities, but which tho world would bo bettor if it did not use. Rare is the ship that comes across the sea that does not bring something to it. The monoy that has been made in that bouse 1b fabu lous. Jules has retired now. Only a few know him as tho egg boy of the Astor. Today ho stands as ono of tho most prominent Frenchmen of New York. He seems to havo dropped Into tho place Henry Mnillard once occupied' In tho French colony. Like Malllard' he has been president of tho Cerclo Francaleo Harmonic nnd head of tho great French hospital. Wealth hnsi poured In on him until ho has become, a millionaire soveral times over. Hrv Is vice-presldont of ono of tho uptown banks. Tho big dividends ho gets, each year from tho company that nowj manages his business provides money, enough to look after all his charities, and let him do a llttlo business on tho' side in real estate. Ho hns mado air his monoy between Thirty-fourth nnd Forty-second streets, and ho has tho, moat supremo confldonco in that strip of New York. Ho buyB nnd he eells, buys and soils. Ho nover has hnd a loss. America's Debt to Jules. No man has done more to raise tha art of cookery in America. Thero Bcarcely has been a great hotel bulU anywhere in tho United States within the last twenty yenrs whoso proprie tor has not consulted him about tho arrangement of tho kitchen or tho -o lection of tho cullnnry otaff. With nil his prosperity, with nil tho dignity that monoy and position p.nd ago give to a man, Jules still lovos to cook. He has all tho enthusiasm and i. fa wldor appreciation of his art than h ' had when ho waa tho egg boy of tin Astor. (Copyright. 10H. by the McCIure, Nowaps per Syndicate.)

Tho word over thero has always had literary and sentimental associations, and finally has comu to bo used for the most magnificent sum mer residences. This has gonu much farther than the ubo of the word In England to mean n villa, In Amer ica a "cottager" definitely signifies a person who Is above staying nt a boarding houso or hotel and has his own summer home.
