NOT EVEN SLIGHTEST CHANCE CONCRETE FLOORS OF CASTLE ARE OF THE LATEST TYPE Th concrete floors of the Castle are of the very latest type, the particular Wnil of construction being known an the Meyer ayatem steelform concrete floor construction. This vystem consists of steel moulds which are set In place and which support the concrete of tho floors while It Is hardening. After the concrete has "set" the moulds ere easily removed from the There are certain residents of old-time hotels for whom m quarters have been provided In tho Castle. Nor will any quarters he provided for them. In fact, special pains were taken to see that there should be no place for these cUBtomory residents to live In tho Caatle, because It waa well known that they would not have to be invfted. They are "buttlnfklg" and they need no Invi tation. They pay neither board nor lodg ing, and yet they take both. And besides they are not popular with the other guests the paying guests. And so special care was exercised to see that there should be no place for these customary residents to live. Who are they, these unwelcome guests, who will find no place for them In the Castle hotel? All Are Barred. They are Sir. and Mrs. Rat, and the little rats, Mr. and Mrs. Mouse and the little mice, and Mr. and Mrs. Bug and the little bi:?3. It is rumored that they have been watching the erection of the new hotel from neighboring buildings and planning to move Into it. "Just wait, my dear," said Mr. Rat to his spouse. "Walt till the new building la done and we will move into it and live In luxury, with plenty to eat." "Mebby It's a church," said little Os wald Ruffon:Rat. "Ah, no, It Isn't." said Papa Rat "Quite the oppoalte of that, my son " ""What Is the new building, Edgerton?" Inquired Mamma Rat, with an admiring look at her lord and master. "IJsten, my dears," said Papa Rat, with shining eyes and twitching whiskers. In anticipation of delicious meats and cheeses that he saw In the future, "listen: It Is going to be a hotel." All the little Rats danced for Joy, and some of them ran off to tell the good news to their neighbors, the Mouse fam ily. Papa Rat spent all the time he could out at the door of their home watching operations on the new Castle and figur ing out Just what part of the kitchen he would move his family Into. But as time passed a look of disappoint ment pased over his little brown face. Mamma Rat noticed It and asked him what was worrying him. rnP fnr Worry. "Oh, nothing." aaid Papa Rat, "nothing at all. What a silly idea! What would I havo to worry me?" "There is something worrying you Just the same," said Mamma Rat with a searching look. "lias that big maltose cat been around again?" "No, no, I haven't seen any cat," said rapa Rat looking uncomfortable. "Well, then, what is it?" Insisted Mrs. Rat. "Well, my dear," confessed Mr. Rat, ' "I see they are putting concrete floors j and walls In the new Castle hotel." I Mrs. Rat said nothing and all the little Rats were silent and stopped eating. Finally little Aw Rat's shrill voice rose tn a wall. "Now we can't go an' live In the new hotel," he cried. Mrs. Rat wiped her eyes on a corner of her apron. "Isn't there any hope?" she asked. "There's Just one chance," said Mr. Rat "They may put some fixtures In the kitchen that will give me a chance to establish a home under them or be tween them and the wall. We'll see." But a few days later even this hope had vanished. Mr. Rat came home and re ported that they would not be able to move into the big hotel where they had counted on living. Kitchen New Fanifled. "The kitchen Is one of these new-fan gled sanitary' ones." he said. "Kven the j plate warming arrangements and the steam tables are set up from the floor on iron lets. Ah, things wtre different when I was a little rat. I remember well the place my father had in a hotel. And we were a big family, too. Hut we lived on the cream of the land, bad the finest of everything to eat. I'm very sorry, dear wife and children, but we must do the best we can." "Can't we go an' live In the new Castle hotel?" wailed little Ruffon Rat "No, that la Impossible," said his father. And the sad news was aoon communi cated to the Mouse family and the bug I family. They can never live In the Castle. The kit' hen has four big rankles and : all the most modern machinery for doing : the work of the kitchen. It is located j behind the cafe dining room in the most ' convenient place. Just down the stairs from the kitchen is a large room with shower and bath. This Is for the exclusive use of the chef, so that he can quickly take a bath and rub either before or after his work. Near this are two rooms, one of which la the dining room for the kitchen "help" snd the other is the service bar, a room from which liquors will be dispensed di rect to large gatherings without goinr IhiuuKh the bar room.
