BEGGNG EXTRAORDINARY

The experience of the st. Louis con-
gregation which got a contribution of
S1.1o5 out of Mr.. Carnegie for church
organ suggests that even the endurance
of a practised siyer TO charities ana
philanthropies can be worn out by
campaign of opportunities. It had al
ways been supposed that mere impor-
tunity was OF no avail, so effective was
the system of buffers with which well
known civers had surrounded them
selves. But IN the case o. this church,
letters. asking for money for an organ
began being sent TO Mr.. Carnegie eight
months ago. AT first they were sent at
intervals Of two weeks, No response
being received, the interval was grad
ually shortened. until at length they
were being dispatched every day.
Eighty eight letters in al we're mailed
before the contribution was received.
This was accompanied only by print
81 receipt form And the congregation
is said 10 be wondering naIvely whether
Mr.. Carnegie really wanted 10 give it
the money or did So only 10 stop the
series Of letters.
But aside from shaking faith in the
efficiency Of the buffers with which rich
benefactors surround themselves. the in
cident suggests strikingly the democrat
izing effect that great tenefactions tend
10 have upon the self-reliance of associa-
lions Of men. \ generation ago such
church as that in st. Louis would have
raised the money it needed among its
own membership, or would have waited
till it could To-day it seems perfectly
proper and natural TO it 10 go TO Mr..
Carnegie, although he Is not especially
interested in benefactiGns TO churches
and probably never heard Of the st.
Louis church before.
The congregation seems 10 have prided
itself upon the vigor of its assault upon
the outworks which pbilanthropists have
10 maintain about them. The impor-
tunity appears TO have been regarded al
-7"st as 4 religious duty. Instead Of
having TO deny themselves 10 equip their
spiritual home, the members felt that
they had only TO prevail over the in
disposition of a total stranger to equip
il for them. The we'll known liberality
OF certain philantbropists should not be
used as an excuse for the avoidance Of
personal responsibilities.

Doggy Coot, star end of the Lala-
paloosa college eleven in the good
old days, was very much surprised
when he got back to town Monday
to meet his old teammate, Butch
Macginnity, the great fullback.
