lawyer in the famous "multi.million-dolIar
controversy" between Frick and Carnegie,
asked one question too many the other day.

suited the same law firm because their in
terests were identical, and that when the
split came this firm, Of which Judge Reed,
president Of the Lake Erie railroad, is the
head, refused to take sides with either client
and that new attorneys had to be chosen.
Mr.. Carnegie chose Mr. Scott, brilliant and
well.known Princeton alumnus of the class
of so, says the Philadelphia Post.

mencement, when Princeton took the base
ball championship from Yale and young

Of being substitute pitcher for Hildebrand,
Mr.. Scott was among the favored guests.
Mr.. Scott is fond of getting evidence from
people, and when a freshman who idolzed
King Scott came up to shake hands with the
father after the game Mr.. Scott asked him
what he thought was the best thing in col
lege life.
"Athletics, SIR" was the freshman's eager
answer. ITS the greatest thing of all. 1t
does fellow no end of good"
And why athletics?" insisted MIR: Scott:
"Well, SIR" was the answer, 1T S Just this
way: guess you were good student here
Mr.. Scott, and read heap of books-but
nobody has ever heard of you, and the whole
world knows about King"
