Carneuie Dialect.

Though Andrew Carnegie's English
is singularly elegant and pure, he has
at his command a weird Scotch dia
lect
Mr.. Carnegie is student of Scotch
words and idioms. He likes to point
out the oddities and freaks of his ma.
tive tongue. Recently, at dinner
party in New York, he said to young
woman:
$50 you think you can understand
Scots, Ell? Well, then, what do we
mean in Scotland when we say per
son is just fifish?"
Il don't know. What do we mean?'
the young woman asked.
I'VE mean he is a bit of weed

"A weed harum-scarum? What IL
that?"
1T is the same as WON'T"
But what is wowf?"
''Wowf is nook or sal. That Is tc

CHAPTER XVI.
The ArtfuIness of Sam.

ne AFIIuiUCSS OF Odfl'
For a brief time there might have
been found support for that ideally in
accurate statement of our Constitu-
ton which holds that all men are born
free and equal, entitled to life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness With
all our might we belle this clause,
though in the time of Ellisville 1t
might have had some footing. That
day has long since passed.
The stamping of the social die had
begun it's worF Indeed, after time
there came to be in the great dining
room of the Stone Hotel little groups
bounded by unseen but impossible
lines. 49,,
Sam, the owner of the livery barn,
had one table in the corner, where he
invariably sat. His mode of entering
the dining-room varied not with the
passing of the years. Appearing at the
door, he cast frightened look at the
occupants who had preceded him, and
in whose faces he could imagine moth
ing but critical censure of his own
person. Becoming aware of his hat,
he made dive and hung it up. Then
he trod timidly through the door, with
a certain side-draught in his step, yet
withal an acceleration of speed which
presently brought him almost at a
ran to his corner of refuge, where he
dropped, red and with gulp. When
Nora stood at his chair, and repeated
to him frostily the menu of the day,
all the world went round to Sam, and
he gained no idea of what was offered
him. With much effort at noncha-
lance, he would again wipe his face,
take up his fork for twiddling, and
say always the same thing.
"Oh, amt very hungry; jes' bring
me little pie an beef an coffee"
And Nora, scornfully ignoring all this,
then departed and brought him many
things. setting them in array about
his plate, and enabling him to eat as
really he wished. Whether Sam knew
that Nora would do this is a question
which must remain unanswered, but
it is certain that he never changed
the form of his own order"
Sam was citizen. He had grown
up with the town. He was, so to
speak, one of the charter members of
Ellisville, and thereby entitled to con-
sideration. There was no reason why
Sam might not look any man in the
face, or any woman. But this latter.
Sam had never done. His admiration
for Nora babe fair to remain secret
known OF all but the one most inter
ested. Daily Sam sat at the table and
listened to Nora's icy tones. Daily he
arose with the stern resolve that be-
fore the sun had set he would have
told this woman Of that which so OPP
pressed him; yet each day, after he
had diRed, he stole furtively away to
the hat rack and slouched across the
street to his barn, gazing down at
his feet with abasement on his soul
