Atherton Curtis a prominent officer in a New
York manufacturing corporation, about two years
ego established a country home on farm snort
distance from the village Of Mount Ksco. in West
chester County and has become an object Of much
interest to people Of the countryside for miles
around on account of his gifts to the village and
his interest in art and vegetarianism
Mr.. Curtis had lived near Mount Kisco only few
months when he proposed to the village authorities
TO establish free library and reading room. The
north half Of the second floor Of the Corporation
Hall placed at his disposal and he az once In
stalled the furniture personally selected
and purchased about two thousand volumes OF
standard works. employed a librarian and opened
the place for public use. He avoided having his
name in any way which he could control connected
with his gift. He named it simply The Free Pub
lie Library and Reading Room of Mount dsco
Since then he has added more than five hundred
volumes to the collection and is increasing 1t con-
stantly.
Mr. Curtis not only provided the books and the
furniture but also assumed the entire expense OF
conducting the library, which for more than two
years has averaged an issue of twenty books daily
and has furnished accommodations for half as
many readers of reference works.
After nc had established the library Mr.. Curtis
compiled and had published a catalogue of the
books it contains. The edition was large enough
to provide copy for every home in Mount Kisco
and leave. besides, several hundred copies for the
accommodation Of newcomers and of villagers who
from any cause may lose the copies first given
them. The rules place absolutely no restriction on
the OF the library. except that one book must be
returned before another is taken out. Mr.. Curtlss
display is of the characteristics OF
the II has gradually dawned upon the vii
layers that self-glorfcation furthest from his
thoughts in the bestowal of his gift upon the COM
munty.
The catalogue clearly discIoses the bent Of Mr..
C,rtis's mind. While standard works of reference
and those devoted to science history. biography
and fiction abundant, there is a strong trend
toward art and the number of works on animal
and plant life is large. With knowledge that Mr..
Curtis is of the beautiful in nature as well
as In art, one cannot read the catalogue OF the
library he has provided for his neighbors without
discovering that flowers, birds. the green grass.
the forest, dumb animals and everything that
suggests these things in the fine arts. or their
sounds in music. appeal strongly TO him.

and purposes, at once became busy with them ALL

finally overpowered the lunatic and lodged him in

as the mans mental responsibility. and when
it decided that he insane. he purchased
new clothing for the unfortunate man and had him
committed TO asylum at his expense.
Mr. Curtis was born In Brooklyn and is about
forty years old. He and his wife have no children.
They travel extensively in Europe. and have only
recently returned from a trip of six months the
Continent. Several years of the young manhood of
Mr.. Curtis were passed in Paris It is said that a
large part of the family fortune was derived from
the sale of a soothing syrup for babies. which has
for many years been a household remedy through
out the country
