furnish an idea of the magnitude of
the new library of Congress. 1t is not
only enormous but imposing and beau
tiful. 1t is conceded to be the grand
est in the world.
The library of Congress was founded
ten years after the United States be-
came nation. 1t began with $1,000
appropriation for books and one room
set apart in the Capitol. annual ap-
propriation was $3.50 In fourteen
years 5000 books had been accumulat-
ed. Then came the destruction of the
library in 1914 by the British. A new
start was made the next year with g.
700 books purchased for S25.950 from
Thomas jefferson. In 1851 there were
10000 books in the library. OF these
5000 were destroyed by fire on Christ
mas Day the same year. In 1852 there
were 10000 books. The forty-twO miles
of shelves were built to accommodate
the 100000 volumes now comprising
the library.
Nine years ago work on the new
building was commenced under the
superintendence of the late Thomas
Lincoln Casey, whose death occurred
too soon for him to witness the triumph
of his skill The building is now com
pleted. 1t covers one block of ground
and cost S6.O0O,000. 1t has not a dark
corner in it, so skillfully have inner
courts been placed, aided by 1,S00 win
dows. A vast and graceful pile in
granite and marble. Without and

temporary sculptors and painters The
new Library of Congress stands fore

AN INDEPENDENT CHAP.
Youngster Left His New York Home
To Lessen His Widowed Mothers
Family Expenses.

Thirteen years of age, but twice that
many in experience, Roy Townsend
told who he was, what he was, where
he had been and his destination to an
Interested circle in the central police
station last night. The lad was picked
up at 10 o'clock by Patrolman Hawks
at the Erie and Wyoming station on
North Washington avenue. He had
just finished his supper at the restau-
rant across the street and was feeling
comfortable, but very sleepy. He paid
twenty-five cents for the meal.
When young Townsend was taken to
the police station he was put through
a severe question test. His home, he
said, is in Ellenville. Ulster county,
New York. Ellenville is one of the
small towns on the Delaware and Hud-
son canal. The boy said his mother is
a widow, "and," he remarked dryly.
"she has enough TO do to take care of
herself this winter. l thought I'd come
out to Scranton and STAY with my
uncle during the cold SPELL" His
uncle, he said, is George owens, a
butcher in this city.
According to the youngsters story,
he started from Ellenville last Tues
udy. lie TOue Oh IL pOdt W I1dNleS,
from whence he stole transportation
on an Erie and Wyoming freight train
to Scranton. reaching here last night.
1t didn't cost anything to ride on the
canal boat because he knew all the
men along the line.
Didn't he himself work on a boat for
three years. What doing? Why, most
everything; was tiller and driver and
anything you could name. The boys s
blackened hands and face bore out his
claim. He left the canal boat with
just one silver dollar in his pocket.
After paying twenty-five cents for his
meal at the restaurant last night he
had as much left.
what did you get for supper?" was
asked. "Oh," answered the boy, as he
gravely crossed his legs, II had cup
of coffee and some bread" Didn't
you have any meat?" "No, don't like
meat" He said he didn't smoke
"Chew!" he exclaimed at that sugges-
tion; mo. indeed; what would a kid
like me Chew for?"
He showed that he is familiar with
all the towns in the canal section OF
Eastern New York. The police today
will help this 13-year-old wonder in his
search for George Owens.
