BONNER'S MILLIONS.

Frank G. Carpenter furnishes the follow
ing interesting sketch Of Robert Bonner:
This is the story of poor Irish boy, who
landed in New York with SIS in his pocket,
and who ten years ago retired from bust
ness worth his millions.
1t is the story of young man who
started an enterprise out of his savings,
and by his brains and industry increased
his capital thousand fold. 1t is the story
of business man who spent more than
million dollars in newspaper advertising,
and who, when the world laughed and
wondered at his extravaganza, went on to
spend more. 1t is the story of man who
never owes dollar, who never asked
credit, but who throughout his life has
benefited thousands and gives away tens of
thousands. 1t is, in short, the story of
Robert Bonner, the millionaire founder of
the New York Ledger. give it to you as
nearly as | can remember in the words in
which, in response to my questions, he told
it to me.
Mr.. Bonner is now 73 He does not
appear to be GO, and he moves about with
the energy of man in his prime He had

the rabbit is, in many instances, more vigor-

that dollar came back, and how | con.

along. l kept my deposits in that bank
until they amounted to $1,000 a week.
One day l noted that the cashier had put

Beecher was to write this story there was
