lars to pave Main sthreet with wooden blocks but tn gr-reat phiianthropist was firm an tn libry was sawed off on tn town. Tn public schools. tn workhouse, tn wather wurruks an tn other penal instlchoochions was at wanst closed an tn people begun to wurrulI to support tn libry. In five years tn population had deserted tn town to escape taxation an now as MT Carnaygie promised. poverty an crime has been abolished in tn place. tn janitor iv tn bu!ldin' bein' honest an well paid
 Isn't it good i'r lithrachoor. says ye? Sure, I think not, Hinnissy. Li- bries niver encouraged lithrachoor amy more thin tombstones encourage Twin. No wan iver wrote annything because he was tol that a hundherd years firm now his books might be taken down firm shelf in a granite sepulcher an, some wan wud write Good or This man is crazy in tn margin. What Ethrachoor needs is fillin' food. If Andrew wud put a kitchen in tn iibries an build some hunks or aven swing few hammocks where Twin authors cud crawl in at night an sleep while waitin f'r this
 
 cover tn Shakesperes now on tn turf. he wud be givin' a rale boost to lith- rachCor. With tn smoke curlin' firm tn chimbley an hundherds iv potes settin' aroun' a table loaded down with pancakes an talkin' pothry an prize fightin. with hundherds iv other potes stacked up nately in tn sleepin' rooms an snorin' in wan gran chorus. with 1 their wives holdih down good-p -payin' jobs as Hbraryans or cooks an their happy little childher playin' through tn marble corrydore. Andrew Carnay- gie wud not have lived in vain. May be that's tn on'y way he knows how to live. l don't believe in libries They pauperize lithrachoor. I'm fir helpin' th' boys that's now on tn job. I know a pote in Halsted sthreet that wanst wrote a pome begfnnin All tn wealth l iV Ind that he sold to a magazine fir two dollars payable on publycation. ! LithrachCOr don't need advancin' | What it needs is advances fir tn lith- rachOOrs. Ye can't shake down pos terity t'r tn price.
 All tn sane I like Andhrew Car naygie. Him an me ar-re agreed on that point. I like him because he ain't shamed to give publicly. Ye don't find him putin on false whiskers an turn in up his coat collar whin he goes out to be benivOlent. No, sir. Ivry time i he dhroDs a dollar. it makes a noise like a waiter fallin down stairs with 1 tray iv dishes. He's givin' tn way we'd all like to give. I niver put amy thing in tn poor box but I wud if i Father Kelly wud rig it up like wan iv l thim slot machines so that whin I put ! in nickel me name would appear over | the altar in red letters But when l put a dollar in tn plate, I get back about i two yards an hurl it so hard that tn good man turns around to see who done ! it. DO good be stealth. says I. but see 1 that tn burglar alarm is set. Amy ] Denivolent money l hand out, I want
 Co talk about me. Him that giveth to ] tn poor. they say, lindeth to tn Lord,
 but in these days, we look fir quick rayturns on our invistmints. l like
 Andhrew Carnaygie an as he says. he
 puts his whole soul into tn wurruk"
 Whats he mane be that?" asked MT. ] Hennessy.
 He mancs," said MT. Do9ley, that
 he's ginrous. Ivry time he gives a
 libry, he gives himself away in q
