PRESIDENT ON CARNEGIE
Roosevelt Speaks at Dedication Of
Washington Public Library.
Donor SaJs 10 Has Applications Tor
Over 800 Libraries. Most or Which
VIII BE Granted.

Washington. d. CT am in the II.
brary manufacturing business said
Andrew Carnegie ut the dedication Of
the Washington Public Library.
Mr.. Carnegie after the dedication
said that he was so we'll pleased with
the new library and the Use made Of
his gift Of $35O.OOO ard the provision
for the support Of the library that he
would donate another $3.50. 900 for the
erection OF branch libraries on the
same condition n the original gift.
namely. that the city provide the sites
md arrange for the support Of the H.
braries.
Mr.. Carnegie said that he had given,
chiefly within the last two years. 100
library buildings. In the month OF
July last. &c applications were re-
ceived by him from all parts Of the
English-speaklng world. When he ar.
rived In New York last month from
Europe he found awaiting him applica-
tions for $50 additional buildings. To-
day he has on hand 3SJ new applica.
tons. making In all under considera-
ton now more than 800. the great ma.
jority Of which," he said. will no
doubt be given"
Mr.. Carnegie said no success in life
came without concentration. and he
begged to be permitted to continue to
concentrate his mind On the library
business. He said It was not a charity.
he was merely helping people to help
themselves. He paid a tribute to
Theodore Roosevelt. who was present.
both as President and rs an author.
Mr.. Roosevelt thanked Mr.. Carnegie
for his gift. He said it was equally
far from the two prime vices Of our
Observation-Disclosures Of heart and soft.
ness Of head" Continuing. the Presl.
dent said:
"Mr. Carnegie. neither you nor any
one else can make q man wise or cult.

@ chance to add to his " wisdom or
to his own cultivation. The only phi.
lanthroplc work that counts in the long
run Is the work that helps a man to
help himself. The men who will sub.
NIT or demand to be carried isn't
worth anything"
The library building is a beautiful
white marble structure occupying the
centre Of Mount Vernon square. In the
very heart Of Washington. For IT'S
construction Mr.. Carnegie gave $3.50.
900. and rs an architectural ornament
to the capital 1t Is quite equal to the
Government buildings. A throng of

ication ceremonies.

"Father Coming 10 Meet You"

The story is related oil o little lad who
on one occasion had been away to spend
the day a few miles distant, and was re-
turning home in the lingering twilight
Of q long English summer evening. He
knew the way well and as the light lin
gercd was allowed to return home alone.
When half the distance was covered, the
heavy clouds upon the horizon began to
crowd each other overhead. A premature
darkness settled down, relieved only BY
vivid flashes OF lightning and the rumble
OF nearing thunder. Frightened at the APP
proach OF tine storm, with beating heart
and quickcned steps the lad pressed on.
and at a turn in the road heard . familiar
voice saying: Don't be afraid boy, father
il coming to meet you" The distance to
the father was soon covered. The little
fellow was soon covered within the ample
storm cloak OF his father, and the little
hand was sraspcd by the strong. manly
hand. What cared the lad for the dark
ness, the rain, the lightning and the thrn.
der? Father was there.
The lad. long since crown to manhood,
recalls with JOY this little incident. He

memory returned in days OF darkness and
distress. The human father has long
since gone home, but the Great Father
remains. and there is a still more wonder
fnl sense OF safety and comfort in the
Fathers hand He is all that an earthly
father could be. raised to the highest
power and multiplied by an everlasting
and almighty love-

The Farce Islands were once cap.
tured by the English in the commence
mont Of the nineteenth century. I say
captured" although. as a matter Of
fact. there was very little capturing
about II. When England and Denmark
were Mt war 4 ship was sent to seize
the Faroes. and when 1t arrived-the
guns ut the tiny little fort evidently
no. having considered It necessary to
take n nOtice-the captain went on
shore and interviewed the Governor.
asking him which he preferred. to be
annexed or bOmbarded. The Governor
never hesitated for a moment. He said
that II the English had taken such a
violent fancy to the Faroes they were
quite welcome to have them: but Of
one thing he was quite sure-he didn't
want any bomharding. So the islands
were duly annexed. and the man-o'-war
sailed of. Some time after. when
peace was declared between the two
belligerents. the English captain came
hack und informed the Governor that
as the war was now over the FarOes
were returned with many thanks. The
Governor took the restoration very
phIlOsophically. evidently thinking all
foreigners were mad and the English
the maddest Of all.
On our way back to the ship we
passed several patches of potatoes and
barley and women busy making hay.
Under the Y Of the cottages hung
disgusting looking strips Of iesh. a
few inches In width and several feet
In length. the inside purple red and
covered with what appeared to be scaly
black leather. They turned out to be
strips of whales flesh drying in the
sun ready for winter consumption.
The week before there had been a
big catch Of whales numbering several
hundreds. the harbor at ThOrshavn
being filed with the great fish brought
from the place where they had been
caught to furnish meat for the COM
munity. When fresh the flesh Is de-
scribed as being delicious-a cross be-
tween tender beefsteak and liver
but after 1t has been kept some time
1t becomes anything but palatable to
strangers. although the FarOese de-
light In 1t. The whales average from
twenty feet to thirty feet in length
and weigh over q ton. p.
The Faroese are most generous In
their dealings with those less fortunate
than themselves: for after the whales
are cut up pieces are distributed not
only among the population OF the dis.
trict where the catch occurred and
