II was the happiest boy alive, but
because 1 knew nothing about the
streets of Pittsburg and the location of
the business houses to which 1 would
have to deliver messages"
So, with poverty as his incentive,
young Carnegie committed to memory
all the business addresses up one side
of Wood street and down the other.
He made himself familiar with other
business streets in the same manner,
and finally when he had the intricacies
of Pittsburg at his finger ends he felt
he could hold his position.
He next familiarized himself with the
telegraph instrument, and while still II
messenger boy and getting only $3.50 a
week for his work he learned to do
what only two other operators in the
country could do at that time-receive
messages by sound alone.
An opportunity for a change soon
came. While in the Office early one
morning he heard a death message 60
ing over the wire, and knowing that
dispatches of that kind required prompt
handling he wrote it out and delivered
1t. The feat endeared him to the over
worked operators and presently they
began to use him to Sub" for them.
Such youngster could not be kept
down, and it was not long before he was
promoted to the key" a full fiedged
operator, at what seemed the over
whelming salary of $25 month.
Young Carnegies father having died
he now became the main support of his
family, but he was master Of every
situation and continued to rise in his
new profession. Next came his first
financial coup.
1t happened in this way. There were
six newspapers then published in Pitts
burg, and six copies of the press dis
patches had to be made for them. The
man who did the work received Sc a
week. He was glad to farm out the job
W SOuliB eNl ~ a NNCht lHuo
making So clear cash without doing the
work himself.
Carnegie got the best of 1t. and the
man who made IS out of another mans
toll was never heard of afterward.
With this extra dollar week the young
financier formed the first capital Of his
life and put 1t into his private treasury.
Presently he secured promotion and
on February 4. 1852. nine years before
the breaking out of the Civil war, Col.
Thomas A. Scott. who had just been
made superintendent of the Pittsburs
end Of the Pennsylvania railroad took
fancy to the boy and gave him SS5 a
month to become his private operator.
A certain Col. Anderson also faneied
him. and gave him the run of his pri-
vate library. allowing him to take books
home to read over Sunday
These books were the beginning OF
Andrew Carnegies success and fame.
They were the seed OF his great library

there" says Mr.. Carnegie, "to provide
free libraries for people who worked if
1 ever became wealthy"
Such is the little story of how the
Pittsburg messenger boy climbed up
the ladder of success. The rest of the
romance has been printed in a thous-
and publications and need not be re-
told.

FAIRBANKS BUYERS
 TAKE FEW CHANGES
Shorts" Spectators Fear a HOld-Out---Newsy Items
 From the Camp.

Cy Noble r.t ,rned last Thursday from Fairbanks, where he had dis posed of lot of hardware taken over from Rampant.
 MT. Noble did not find ready sale at big prices for his stock. He disposed of bis supply of nails at a fair profit, but had to hustle for a buyer. The files were taken re- luctantly at Rampant cost, and some of the saws were left at commission houses to wait for buyers. Specula- tors are not taking many chances on any line of shorts. They can not tell at what moment some one will "dig up enough stuff to send prices down. Several warehouses have been sealed as tight as drums all winter. The N. C. Co. has an immense warehouse with No Ad- mittance" over the door. and no one can tell what it and other con- cerns may hold ill reserve.
 Speaking of his general imrres- sion of the camp, MT Noble said it looked pretty dull-which is quite natural at this time of year. A great amount of prospecting is go- ing on, aud small stampedes are numerous. The Toatlach, Kan tishna, and Bonnifeld sections are receiving special attention.
 MT. Noble says the cleanup is expected to exceed four million.

Letter from Porter.

From a letter dated Jan. from w. H. Porter to w. w. Crockett, the following extracts are taken:
 Things are still moving fairly well at Fairbanks. Trade hangs on and every thing leans to mighty crowd in the spring. Am shaping myself so as to take advantage of the early rush. Will not be able to pay you visit this winter. :. I will just state that on No. above, Cleary creek, I.25o horse power in ma chinery is working. This will give you some idea of the manner the ground is being worked. After Jan. 10 there will not be an idle man in camp provided they look for work. Ken Downing leaves for outside with S4oo, o,ooo in dust. Poor ad guess Dan Mcclure is work ing here. Dr. and Mrs. Hedger send re- gards to Rampant friends.
 NIT. Porter is co-owuer of the Hotel Northern and has other im- portant business interests in Fair banks.

MORE ABOUT
 THE NEW JUDGE

Skagway, Dec. 12.--From the flask The papers which came ill the last mail contain Considera- ble matter about the new judge of the district court for the First di- vision of Alaska. However. there is a conflict of authority as to whether his name is "Gannison" or "Gunnison." The Times spells the name with an "a,' while the Post Inteiligencer uses all "u."
 However, the man who will suc- ceed Judge Brown is only 5 years of age. and he has been a lawyer but eight years. He had only one endorsement Of a political nature and that was from the member of congress of bis district. His best recommendations were from Pfesi- dent Schurman, of Cornell univer- sity, the dean of the law faculty of Cornell, and the United States dis trict and the circuit judges of his district.
 The Oregonian says: "Mr. Gun nison graduated from the law school of the Cornell university in 1896, and since that time has been practicing law ill Binghamton. In 1898 he was appointed referee in bankruptcy for the district in w which Binghamton is situated, and in that position established an enviable reputation for industry, ability and a thorough understanding ot the bankruptcy law. He was afterward appointed by the faculty of the Cor nell university law school as a non resident lecturer on the subject of bankruptcy"
 Walter F. Clark. Washington correspondent of the Post.Iutelli- geucer, says. had the name of l.. P. Shackleiord. of Juneau. been pre-. seuted before the position had been offered to Mir. Guunison. he would have received the appointment

BALDWIN AIRSHIP
 GUIDED AT WILL

This is all account of the achieve ment of the airship at St. Louis, Oct. 31, printed in the Chicago Tribune:
 An airship scared easily over the fence of the aeronautic concourse at the worlds fair grounds today. and then sailed in circles and figure eights 1000 feet above the cascades. At the end of half an hour of evo- lutions 1t went back to the con- course directly against an eight mile breeze, and alighted nicely almost in the exact spot from which it started.
 The airship was that of Capt. Thomas s. Baldwin. and was op- erated by A. Roy Knabenshue. of Toledo, O., who made a partially successful ascent the week before.
 Knabenshue started from the aeronautic concourse at 3:37 p. m. and returned after his remarkable flight at 4:o5. On the return trip the airship sailed slowly over the exact spot from which it had risen 2S minutes previously, and glided about 100 feet farther west, where it settled gracefully to the ground.
 The descent was the signal for demonstration, and dozens of eager hands were upstretched 10 grasp the frame of the airship. and the flying machine, with its daring navigator, was carried around the concourse upon the shoulders of shouting men.
 By the successful flight of the Arrow, Captain Baldwin was the first man to claim the $500 prize offered by the exposition company to the airship making a continuous trip to the Plaza St. Louis and re- turn.
 At the time promised the airship was brought from the aerodrome and at signal from Knabenshue was cast loose and the motor started.
 The Arrow rose slowly and easily. it's prow directed toward the west. When at a night of about twenty. five feet. Knabenshue turned the

rudder and the aerial craft, answer ing to its helm, pointed south and continued its flight without inter ruption.
 At that time he was not high enough to clear tbe aeronautic fence, and as he rapidly approached it Knabenshue moved toward the rear of the airship. The Arrow pointed its prow upward, and, an swering the pull of the propeller. scared lightly above the fence and rapidly gained an altitude of about 1000 feet.
 Knabenshue again changed the direction of the craft and passed over the crowd in the concourse After proceeding about half to three-quarters of mile westward he turned the airship about and again passed over the concourse, at the same time increasing his alti- tude until he was about 2,ooo feet above the earth. About that time the barely perceptible breeze from the northwest increased 10 about eight miles an hour and veered to the north. In order to return 10 the starting point it was necessary ,o breast this breeze. He attempted several times to turn to the left. and then suddenly swung the rudder sharply in the other di- rection and the Arrow came into the wind. staggered a moment, and then. gaining power, came toward the concourst a, speed that caused the spectators to cheer and toss their hats into the air. When within few hundred yards of the con course knsben>hue moved tor@ard. the arrow responded to the down ward shift. and sailed toward the ground without a diminishment ot speed. It settled to the ground within 100 feet from where it started
