Va, struck his leg against cake OF

severely. 1t became very much swol-

could not walk without the aid OF

ment and two and half gallons of
whisky in bathing it, but nothing gave
any relief until he began using Cham

1t was due to Thomas A. Scott that
Andrew Carnegie made his first invest
ment-ten shares Of stock in the Ad
ans Express company, valued at $500,
says the Review of Reviews. This he
did with considerable trepidation. He
had labored hard for the money he
had saved up while he had worked as
a telegrapher. 1t is part OF railroad
history how the latter fell in with the
inventor of the sleeping car, saw the
enormous advantages which that man
ner of travel held out to passengers,
and promoters, and how he interested
others in the invention Of Mr.. Wood
ruff. This occurred shortly after his
return from Washington, when the
problems of transportation were still
uppermost in his mind. He was now
on the road to success and wealth, as
he then pictured earthly possessions.
The Pennsylvania oil fields yielded
large returns when Carnegie, with 9TH
ers, turned their energies in the direc-
tion of the newly discovered territory.

American. Look out Of that window
