Of the Pennsylvania railway, who one
day asked him If he had any money
he could invest. Andy thought he had
about 800 perhaps; but that was
not enough. The sum needed was $500,
and 1t was finally raised by the placing
OF a mortgage on his house for about

billion dollar steel combine" which
has created universal surprise and
promises several kinds of a revolution,
commercial and financial. in the not
distant future.
Mr.. Carnegie's methods are simple
and direct, characteristic Of the man
who is accustomed to transactions in
yolving millions and billions. When
approached, for Instance. by the COM
mittee appointed to solicit of him a do
nation toward erecting a library in our
national capital. he Immediately de-
clare0 that he would give a quar-
ter million for the project, or all that
was required. He really give $3.50, 900.
adding 500, 900 afterwards, but the
whole thing vas merely a matter OF a
few minutes. The interview occurred
in the executive mansion at Washing
ton. Sitting down and taking an en-
velope from the White House station
cry, he wrote upon it with a lead
pencil: IF congress will provide a
site. I will give $25o.0O0 for the erec-
ton of a free library building, Andrew
Carnegie" Congress quickly provided
the site. and thus through the gift OF
one man the anomaly which Washing
ton presented-of possessing the larg-
est library in America, but with none
for its citizens-was made nonexastent
by a few strokes Of the pencil.
Mr.. Carnegie has been frequently
waylaid in Washington by men or wo-
men on charity intent, one Of his latest
"hold ups being by gentlemen inter-
ested in securing a library for a city in
Iowa. They met him as he .strolled
across Lafayette square and asked for
five minutes conversation. "All right"
responded the prospective victim, "but
just walk along with me. I am behind
time on an engagement" Three min
utes later he had the details, and the
men had their answer: Surely, your
place needs a library, as you say, and
1t shall have one. Let the city donate
a site and agree to maintain the lib
rary, and as soon as this is done draw
on me for 100000. That's all, | be-
lieye. Good day."

opinion in that startling aphorism ire

his failure to spend all or even a large

had promised himself and the public
to do.
But such persons must have been

Mr.. Carnegie, as he has repeatedly
shown, has never lost sight of the sim
pie, lowly life of his youth or Of his
youthful ambitions. He Is proud of
the title, self made man, and has on
innumerable occasions proved that it
is far better to give than to receive
and also more satisfactory. In at
least two of his early ambitions he has
been eminently successful in realiz-
ing the dreams of his boyish ray as
to the bestowal of libraries upon the
poor and in keeping the wolf from
the door," Speaking Of the time when
his father, a poor weaver, lost his
business, he says. Il was then about
