This is the uncommon story of a life
given over to helpfulness.
1t is the true story Of Leon Kohn,
who has devoted the best years of his
life to the rescue of the homeless, help
less and hopeless poor of the city of
Seattle.
A Bohemian Jew, Mr.. Kohn was
born in Pilsen fifty years ago.
coming as a youth to this country.
In 1880 he went to Seattle and open
ed hat store But he was peculiar in
this-HE GAVE HALF HE MADE
TO THE POOR.
He prospered nevertheless and in
eighteen years Of his business never
turned away a deserving person I'M
aided.
AS the city grew the demands on
Mr.. Kohn grew heavy, but his spirit
of generosity never tagged. Some
times he gave away nearly all he made.
In 1906, having, despite his generos-
ity, accumulated a small fortune, he
sold his store and started factory fol
making caps that he might give EN-
ployment to idle workingmen.
Finally the drain on his resources
was so great he was compelled tc
close the factory. FOR YEARS this
man ALONE was a WHOLE CITY
CHARITABLE SOCIETY.
When his capital had dwindled to g
mere nothing Mr.. Kohn founded the
Charity Organization of Seattle anC
gave his time and energies to distrfbut
ing the funds given to charity by
others.
And that is what he is doing today
on meager salary.
Do not say that Victor Hugo's goot
mayor, NJ. B1adelaine, is an impossibl,
creation. Here is the same 'hero O
altruism."
And if anybody asks it is answers
that this little old Jew is the HAP
PEST MAN IN SEATTLE.
He has practiced the formula pre-
nounced 1900 years ago by a youn
man, also Jew, 1T is more blessed t
give than to receive"
This is his secret of satisfaction: II
has had TWO joys where most me-
have had but ONE. He has had the 10
of MAKING MONEY and the joy c
GIVING IT AWAY.
And, as for the rest, why

hand is what you have given away"

of damage in this vicinity. The tele-
graph wires and some of the poles
were blown across the railroad tracks
at the depot. The telephone wires and

from Cedar Falls, giving a train order
for the agent

are swinging on the ground. The line
men were kept busy keeping them from
falling on houses and in windows. A
few pigs and chickens were frozen to
death, and a few windmills blown to
pieces.
