FORTUNA TIE PROVIDENCE AND ITS
PUBLIC LIBRARY.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.
IL will probably he difficult for the
ordinary citizen OF this town to find
words that shall properly express his
share In the general public sentiment of
appreciation OF the magnificent gift made
to the Providence Public Library by Mr..
John Nicholas Brown.
1t Is not to our credit that the fund for
the new Library building should have
waited upon the extra ord mary benefi-
cence OF an individual for so large a share
Of the sum required, but public sentiment
may compose itself in view of the propa-
bility tnat the man whose generosity is
exompliGed in so remarkable a degree
must, in the very nature of things, be
glad that the opportunity was presented
him for the making of the gift. Grati-
tude for the gift may thus reasonably be
mixed with congratuistion to the giyer.
otherwise we are likely To feel something
OF a pang that We lst the opportunity to
contribute spontaneously to the impor-
tant work, of which Mr.. Brown has now
assumed the leadership, slip out of our
own hands.
As we understand the situation, Mr..
Browns gift does not claim to provide
all the funds. Indeed, the Library ssso.
citation already has at its command and
has expended part of moneys that are
aVailable to the buying of land, building
and furnishing, and the work WITHIN the
ii mits Of such funds is now progressing
1t is stin incumben upon the people Of
Providence to contribute largely to their
library and we are disposed to feel that,
with the incentive and inspiration fur
nished by the Brown funo, the balance
necessary TO fully equip the splendid
structure which Mr.. Brawn will build for
US, and properly lsy out the approaches
and grounds will TO quickly forthcoming.
The privilege and duty OF Mr.. Browns
fellow citizens are indeed not less clear in
The matter than before the receipt of bis
welcome ca ole message. But the impulse
10 prompt action in the promises by
citizens, in accordance
with their means, Will dou btless result in

ONE MILLloNAIRe,s START.
Penniless, He Went Right Over to the
Bank and Got the Money.

A young German Immigrant, who had
not dollar in the world and no relatives,
friends or acquaintance in America,
worked his way westward from New York
until he reached a small town in Ohio,
where no secured position as clerk in a
-four and feed store and went to work In
almost an incredibly short time he learned
the English language and had mastered
the few details of the business he was i'm.
One day he walked into another feed
store few blocks away, said that he had
heard that the proprietor of the place de-
sired to sell out and inquired the price.
The feed dealer wanted 81 800. After a
few inquiries tho caller said:
"All right. l will call tomorrow at 10,
and ven go over to the bank and get the
money"
No one knew anything about the young
German. The feed store man who wanted
to sell jumped to the conclusion that the
prospective purchaser must have brought
considerable money from Germany. The
next day, promptly on time, the German
called to take possession.
"Come on" he said "ve'll go right over
to tho bank now and get the money"
Together they entered the bank. The
German approached the cashiers window,
introduced himself and said
"Dis is Mr.. Jones, who keeps the feed
store on Main street l haf bought out
his place for 81 800, and We haf called to
get the money.
II beg your pardon, replied the CASH
Ter, "but you have no account here have
your"
"You don't understand" earnestly re-
marked the German. Il don't want an
account at all. l want only the money"
But you have no money in this bank"
explained the official
"Of course not" assented the caller
"If l had money, would pay dis man my
self. But haven't any money AT all, so
l must come To you to get it, T."
but we can't let you have money un.
less you first give it to us. -
"Then why is bank?" excitedly de.
manded the would be borrower.
The colloquy which ensued waxed so
loud that the president of the bank came
out of his private Office To see what was
the matter He took the young German
in hand personally. The latter told the
banker all about himself and his aims,
and in less than half an hour the bank
had loaned him 81 500 and held first
mortgage on feed store owned by the
happiest young foreigner in America.
That occurred many years ago, it is
true, but that young German today is the
head of u corporation capitalized at "a, 000,-
600, and his name, if l were TO give it
here, would be recognized instantly as one
of the leading business men of this coun-
try.-Chicago Times Herald.
