Carnegie in Bare Feet.


Andrew Carnegie had curious expe
r1ence at AK les Bains. He walked
four miles down a rugged mountain
side In his bare feet. Mr. Carnegie
had started early with three compan-
ions-an English woman and two
French women-who were stopping at
the same hotel, to explore the Savoy
hills. A mule, carrying a basket of
lunch, accompanied the party.
When it was time to return one of
the women found her shoes too tight.
Her feet had been blistered frightfully
and she declared she was unable to
go home. The spot was deserted and
night was approaching.
do you think you could for once
walk four miles In your bare feet?"
asked the girl of the millionaire.
Mr.. Carnegie was puzzled, but the
pretty maid finally induced him to give
her his shoes, which, though tremen-
dously large, enabled her to proceed
slowly.
Mr.. Carnegie at first accepted the or.
deal in a spirit of fun, but the stones
and thOrns often made him cry out
Half way down he was compelled to
discard his socks, which had become
too tattered and filed with pebbles and
sand. When the sedate Mr. Carnegie,
who was somewhat ahead of the other
three, was seen to enter the lobby of

WASHINGTON AT PRINCETON.
How He Rode to the Front, Rallied the
Troops and Won the Day.

Troops and Won the Day.
CORVALLIS had left all his stores at
Brunswick, and three regiments of foot
and three companies of horse at Prince
ton. Thither then Washington was
marching that winter night. He meant
to strike his superior enemy another blow
at a weak point. BY daybreak he was
near Princeton, and moved with the main
army straight from the town. Mercer
was detached with three hundred men to
destroy the bridge which gave the most
direct connection with CORVALLIS. The
enemy had started at sunrise, and one
regiment was already over the bridge
when they saw the Americans. Col.
Mawhood at once recrossed the bridge,
and both Americans and English made
for some high commanding ground. The
Americans reached the desired point first,
and a sharp fight ensued. The Ameri-
can rifles did great execution, but with
out bayonets they could not stand the
charge. Mercer was mortally wounded,
and his men began to retreat. AS Nav
hood advanced, he came upon the main
American army, marching rapidly to the
scene of action. The new Pennsylvania
militia in the van wavered under the
British fire and began to give way. Wash
ington forgetting, as he was too apt to
do, his position, his Importance, and ev-
erything but the fight, rode rapidly to the
front, reined his horse within thirty yards
of the enemy and called to his men to
stand firm. The wavering ceased. the
Americans advanced, the British halted
and then gave way. The Seventeenth
regiment was badly cut up, broken and
dispersed. The other two fed into the
Il. toe
again and were driven in rout to Brun-
swick. Washington broke down the
bridges and, leaving CORVALLIS, who had
discovered that he had been outgeneraled,
to gaze at him from the. other side Of
the Milestone and of Stony Brook. moved
off to the Somerset Court House, where
he stopped to rest his men. who had been
marching and fighting for eighteen hours.

at Brunswick, but the work was DONE
