In mentioning Improvements
all along the line in kinSstree,
it's never our intention to slight
anyone, but on the contrary we
want TO p!ese everybody and get
everybody pleased with them
selves and with Kingstree more
especially, and get them to join
with US heart and soul for the up-
building .: our city. We must
net wait for Sir. kel!ehan or Mr..
Kelley or DR.. Scott or Mr. Ken
nedy or anyone else to do it all
but III the up-bui!diHg of a town
there is a mission fer everyone to
perform and let every one do his
duty now and Kinsstree is bound
rise. Let Us be more like the
Cal! lornians; don't mind being
aroused from our sleep, so it gives
US an opportunity TO praise King
stree.

it wasn't very long before he knew
it well enough so that he could move
up out of the cellar into telegraph
office. Only messenger boy, to be-
sure, but he could hardly have been
the lazy kind we generally read about
or the manager would not have taken
fancy to him and begun to teach
him telegraphy within a month.
That was about 45 years ago and
the dingy little Office where he was
working at two dollars and a half a
week belonged to the Atlantic &, Ohio
Telegraph company. Andrew Carne-
gle spent all his spare time in prac-
ticing telegraphy, and when he could
do as well as the operator at the key
(Which was surprisingly soon, by the.
way) he took place in the telegraph
service of the Pennsylvania railroad,
then a comparatively humble system,
Boosting only single track lines.
Here he suggested method of train
dispatching that increased the ca
pacity of the road and shortly after
this Thomas a. Scott, whose remarlS-
able career in railroad management
was just beginning, took notice of that
bright young operator and made him
his private secretary. When Mr.. Scott
was promoted to his vice presidency
of the Pennsylvania road. Carnegie
became a division supe rintendent.
Some of his savings were success
fully invested in oil lands and in the
manufacture of sleeping cars, and
now he began 10 accumulate money.
The next door that opened to him, or
rather that he opened by being a boy
who did, was the opportunity to estab-
lish the steel works to which Edgar
Thompson, then president of the Penn
sylvania, gave his name and much of
the capital. Carnegie's ability showed
itself at once in building up the mann
moth industry which finally became
the largest enterprise of its kind in
the world. The great factories found
ed by him, or founded by others and
absorbed by him, are scattered
through the district of which Pitts
burgh is the center and were all finally
united under the one corporate own
ership, the Carnegie Steel company,
which Mr.. Carnegie has recently sold
to the great combination known az
the United States Steel company. Dur
ing his active years his profits rolled
up at rate that no manufacturer ever
equaled before. His business was not
only splendidly managed, but was aid
ed by great natural advantages as well
as all the forces of invention. To-day

business, and scarcely month passes

nificent gift offered some good cause

late years he has spent most of his
time at his beautiful castle in Scot
land, and his own key to the problems
he has met through life is engraved

STEPPED UP, NOT DOWN.
negie Teaches n Lesson Which
No Roy Should Ever Forget.

When Andrew Carnegie was ten,
years old he left his native SCOTCH
town OF Dumferline and came alone
to America. Reaching New York with
one sovereign in his pocket he wallsedi
the streets for days trying to getI
work, and at last went to Pittsburgh
where he found a chance to fire small
stationary engine in factory cellar.
What do you suppose he thought
about, down in that cellar? About thei
libraries he was going to give away
or the gifts to universities he intend
ed to make one of these fine days?
My idea, says writer in the LittleL
Chronicle, is that he thought about
firing that engine and did it with all
his might until working hours were.
over. Then he went out and studied

is of white printed French muslin.
The skirt has wee black polka dots
to just below the knees, where it is
finished with sweeping deep fiounce
of printed white muslin with large
black oval designs and small leaves
ever so often, and with a bowknot
and leaves between. This flounce has
heavy border of the same in a much
smaller pattern. A slightly full
blouse of the white muslin covered
with polka dots, with heavy printed
ruffle bordering the round neck. A
loose bell-shaped sleeve, with printed
border at the edge, and full under
sleeve of white chiffon in printed
black and white cuff.
That New York is not necessarily
behind Paris in the matter of design
ing these elaborate fete gowns is
proven by another charming model
that is even more elaborate than the
Paris creation, and which is the prod
uuct of New York modiste. 1t is
made of white Swiss, and the skirt
has very narrow founces that gradu-
ate from the hem to the waist line,
with two wee ruchings of black nous
seline de sole on each flounce. A full
blouse of white Swiss, with a quaint
little bolero of black mousseline de
sole trimmed with ruching of white
mousseline de sole. Elbow sleeves of
the black mousseline de sole, with
two ruffies of the white to finish.
Another New York creation that is
pretty, but not nearly so striking, is
of cream batiste trimmed with
deeper tone of lace insertion. The
skirt is in small tucks just below the
hips, graduating from the front.
There are three ruffies around the
bottom, edged with cream baby rib
bon, and above this is insertion ar
ranged in twisted loop fashion. A
draped bodice, with tucked bolero fin
ished with lace insertion, and loops
of black velvet baby ribbon to fasten
the front. Rather small sleeves, with
the lace insertion twisted around, and
narrow ruffies at the wrist.

BRAVE LITTLE JAP.
ing Deeds of Unselish HerOism
Ever Recorded.

All the war correspondents are one
In their enthusiastic praise of the
Jap as a soldier, especially in the war
with China. Thomas F. Millard re-
Gently related thrilling anecdote re-
garding the bravery of the japanese.
The force sent to relieve the Chris
tians who were being besieged in Pc
king had arrived, and it developed on
the japanese contingent to blow in
q certain gate. The artillery did some
damage, but the breach was not suf-
enemy. These massive wooden gates,
which are sunk deep in the thick l2-
foot high walls, are approached by
means of a little bridge across the
moat that encircles the city. The Jap
general decided that breach would
have to be effected by means of dyna-
mite. For this dangerous mission he
called for volunteers. A little corporal
about four feet six inches in height
was picked out. AS with utter uncon-
cern he marched briskly over the
bridge the enemy potted at him from
the top of the wall until he was out
of sight in the recess occupied by the
gate. Lighting the fuse, he quickly
made his way back to his own lines
without sustaining wound. No soon
er had he gotten out of the way than
a small door set in the large gate was
cautiously opened and an Acknowledged
face peered out. With his sandaled
foot the Chinaman stamped out the
lighted fuse. Then he went back and
closed the door.
Defying almost certain death, the
little corporal bravely started out
again, and once more lit the fuse.
On the way back he was hit on the
shoulder and stumbled to the ground.
Then he picked himself up and man
aged TO reach safety. Once more,
however, the foxy Chinaman was too
quick for the slow fuse. Then the
little corporal went pattering back to
the half demolished gate, lit the fuse,
drew his short bayonet-sword and
waited. There was moment of
breathless suspense, then with q
frightful roar the old gate was blown
to the heavens, and with it went the
poor little corporal. 1t is one thing
to risk ones life in the heat of battle,
but quite another to face the certain
and horrible death from which this
subject of the mikado never finched.

Cyanide Process In Mining.

The perfection of the cyanide
process in gold mining has made it
possible to mine and treat ores car
rying values less than five dollars per
ton at generous profit, where they
occur in large bodies, with water and
fuel obtainable at a moderate cost.
The ores from the Kendall mines in
the North Moccasin range, in Mon
tana, are mined and milled at cost
of less than $3.50 ton. The cost Of
extracting and mining in the other
mines is somewhat greater, Eut not
so great as to make the workings Of
very low-grade ores prohibitlye.

Pussy Defes Feline
Tradition by Taking Bath
Whenever Possible.

The well-known aversion of the
feline race for water has an odd ex-
ception in the pet of family on
Friends avenue, above Cooper street,
Camden, Pa. This puss is so fond of
playing in water that it is sometimes
difficult to keep it out of the way. One
of the favorite pastimes of this funny
little cat is to jump on the kitchen
sink when the water is running from
the spigots and bat at the stream
with its paws. Sometimes it gets in
the way and must be pushed down,

they offer the greatest variety and

Parrots Taught by phonosrnph.

The teaching of parrots nowadays
is made comparatively easy by the
use of the modern marvel, the phono-
graph. There is a man in London
who educates on an average 40 birds
month, and does it entirely by
means of the talking machines. The
parrots classroom is divided up into
little compartments, which are kept
shrouded in darkness. Each bird is
placed in separate ''cell," and two
or three times a day phonograph is
left with it. The machine is auto
matte, and when wound up and let
loose will grind out and repeat a sen,
tence or number of sentences over
and over again, for bours at time.
1t is said the birds very soon ara
able to initiate the weird mechanical
voice which comes out of the dark
ness. Perhaps they learn quickly in
order to be relieved the sooner of the
necessity of hearing the same thing
over again for hours at stretch.

American women to patronize home

travagance that forgets patriotism
entirely and thinks only of where the

circumstances many thoughts turn to
Paris and Vienna, and so it is that we

hard to confess it, these imported
