In an Address to Young Men Carnegie
Said He Was "BOrn to the Blessed
Heritage of Poverty"

New York, Jan. 2o.-Andrew Car
negie addressed the young mems
Bible class of the Fifth Avenue Bap-
fist church last night on ''Stepping
Stones to Success in Business" He
said in part:
AS a young man I had the best educa-
ton in the world with which to begin life.
I was born to the blessed heritage of pow
erty. [ hope l speak to poor young men
tonight. 1t is my earnest hope that none
of you are burdened with the care of
riches. When this burden is laid
young man and he acts his part we'll he
deserves double credit. He is surely the
salt of the earth. In these days we hear
a lot about poverty. The cry goes up to
abolish poverty, but it will indeed be a
sad day when poverty is no longer with
US. Where will your inventor, your ar
fist, your philanthropist, your reformer-
in fact, anybody of note come from then?
They all come from the ranks of the poor.
God does not call his great men from the
ranks of the rich.

HIS MISTAKE.
man a Little Light on
Ladies.

!. A Louisville girl, who was recently in
Germany, met young English officer who
was in the same city, and, in fact, in the
same house with her for two months, study
ing German for his promotion. Like most
Europeans he had the usual absurd ideas
about the girls of this country, who, in the
minds of the untraveled foreigner, are rather
hoyden creatures who smoke and have other
masculine traits.
After dinner one day, in the early ae-
quaintance of the couple, the officer offered
the Louisville girl cigarette, and, upon her
refusing it, he said:
Why I thought all the girls in the
so we do replied the girl, but never
cigarettes; only pipes. If you will get that
pipe off the mantelpiece in the next room [
shall be charmed to smoke with YOU
Not suspecting the joke she was playing
on him, the officer brought the pipe and
filled it, and it was not until he saw the wry
faces his friend made in attempting to carry
out the joke that he appreciated the situa-
ton. He was continually telling the Ameri-
can in a tone of surprise that she was just
like the girls at home in England, and her
rejoinder was:

lady the world over?"-Louisville Courier

DENIAL FROM GRosvENoR.
Makes a Statement Regarding Charges of
Mr.. Lentz About the appointment
of POlygamists.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-The investi-
cation as to the alleged polygamous
status of certain federal appointees
in Utah was resumed by the house
committee on post offices and post
roads. Mr.. Grosvenor made a fiat de-
NAL of the statement made by Mr..
Lentz as to the use of the words, eva
have not let the grass grow under our
feet" in reference to his charges. He
said his statement to Mr.. Lentz was
in substance that the investigation
would fail, there was nothing in the
charges and that he had taken steps
to learn the facts at the time of de-
nying them on the floor of the house.
His denial was based on his knowI-
edge of the character of the president.
subsequently,, during a call at the
white house on another matter, Mr.,
Grosvenor said the president re-
marked to those present that he had
never had a suspicion that he was APP
pointing anyone guilty of polygamy
as he had never heard of the charge
until it was made in the house.

Truly Fetching.

It was at a department store bargain coun-
ter for odds and ends. Women squeezed
and elbowed and showed to get alongside the
counter. Frequently two of them happened
to pick up the same bargain at one and the
same time, and then they both retained their
clutch on it and looked daggers at each other
until the, stronger of the two won the vic
tory or the bargain was rent into ribbons.
A naughty matron with an electric seal
coat picked up box containing three cakes
of imported soap for eight cents at the same
moment that an humble-looking little wom-

on the box.

SURPRISES THE WORST FEARS
Famine In India Has Reached a Terrible
Stage, Over 100000 People
Being Affected.

Calcutta, Jan. 2O.-The council Fri
day considered the famine situation.
The official estimates snow the cost
to the government of the relief work,
etc, to the end of March will be $40, :
100000 of rupees. About $4,000, 900
persons are now affected in British
territory and about 27,OOO,O in the
native states. The viceroy, Lord Cur
zon, of Kedleston, said that the fam
inc area had expanded, surprising the
worst fears and they were now facing
a cattle, water and food scarcity of
a terrible character. About 3,25O.OOO
persons, he continued, were already
receiving relief.
While in 1897 the world shared
India's sorrow and contributed hun
dreds of thousands of pounds towards
the relief fund, the viceroy pointed
out, India would now have to struggle
alone, for thoughts of every English
man in the world were conferred on
South Africa. It would be the duty
of the government to pursue the task
of saving millions of lives and it
would spend it's last rupee if neces-
sary to do so.

Hon. Clifford Sifton, Minister Of the In
terror, Ottawa, Canada.
Thinking that my experience
in Manitoba might be both useful and
interesting to my fellow-countryme
in the United States who may be look
ing to Manitoba and the Northwest
with the intention of settling there,
have much pleasure in stating that
through information received from
Mr.. w. F. McCreary, immigration
Commissioner at Winnipeg, I was in
duced to visit Manitoba in February,
1898. WhenI called upon Mr.. McCreary
he spared no pains to give me all
the information, &C., in his possession,
the result of which was that [ came
here with letter of introduction from
him to the Secretary of the Virden
Board of Trade. That gentleman pro-
vided me with competent land guide
and altho' there was considerable
snow on the ground, I had no Diff
Guilty in selecting three homesteads
for myself and sons. Having made the
necessary homestead entries at the
Land Office in Brandon, I returned to
my home in Lyon County, Minnesota,
and came back here in May following
accompanied by enc of my boys, bring
ing with us two teams of horses, i'm
plements, &c. Our first work was to
erect temporary shanty and stable,
after which we broke and levelled rs
acres and put up 80 tons of hay.

To say that [ am we'll pleased with
the result of my first years farming
operations in Manitoba does not ade-
quately express my feelings, and I
have no hesitation in advising those
who are living in districts where land
is high in price to come out here, if
they are willing to do a fair amount
OF work. I am 10 miles from Virden,
which is a good market town, and 9
miles from Hargrave where there are
two elevators. This summer [ erected
a dwelling house of native stone and
bought a half-section of land adioip-
ing our homesteads for which [ paid
a very moderate price. There are still
some homesteads in this district, and
land of fine quality can be purchased
from the Canadian Pacific Ry. Co. at
$3.50 p. &C, on liberal terms. Good
water is generally found at a depth of
from IS to 20 fit. I have IT'S &C. ready
for crop next year.
The cost of living here is about the
same as in Southern Minnesota. Some
commodities are higher and others
lower in price, but the average is
about the same.
