The engine, it may be added, was in a

has himself told us some of his feel

It viii be seen from this that Mr.
Carnegie is not a tall man. but he has
considerable dignity OF carriage-as
small men with strong characters often
have-which conveys the impression Of
man Of greater height than he really
IS. He is a native of Dunfermline, that
small but ancient. historic Scotch town
in which the dust of many Of the Scotch
kings IS laid.
His Birthplace.
The house in which Mr.. Carnegie was
born was in NEEDLE Street, at the back
Of the gas works: it had but single
story, surmounted by a roof with an attic
in it, after the fashion OF houses in the
oIden times Its roof was tiled-in short,
it was just the kind Of house that would
be occupied by decent, Woodworking.

grandfather Of Andrew Carnegie had
been.
The Introduction Or the steam factories
into the cotton trade ruined the family
business. although The father Of Andrew
Carnegie was an exceptionally inteIH-
gent man, and had been able in his time
to keep four looms and four journeymen
at work under him.
it Is OF his mother that Mr.. Carnegie
speaks most in the story Of his life. but
his father was also entitled to mention
and praise. for he was a great speaker,
Of course a radical of radicals. as Scotch
men OF that class and type nearly always
are. He was a popular and vigorous
speaker at the public etings which
at election and other tL stirred small
DunfermIine to its small depths. Time
has brought the phiIosophic mind to Mr..
Carnegie as to others. but there was a
day when something Of the fiery apostol-
is and aggressive political spirit Of his
father was to be found in his own writ
ings and speeches.
Too Poor to Move.

in the childhood Of Mr.. Carnegie which
ought always to be mentioned; he is such
