Andrew Carnegie has budded forth
In a new role, this time as unique
and original mirth-provoking humorist.
He has made his debut as a rival OF
Mark Twain by publishing list OF
twenty names which he facetiously
designates as the twenty greatest
names in all history, and incidentally
has given us one Of the best specimens
Of serio-comic writing ever produced.
With great gravity the case-hard-
ened Andrew heads his list with the
name OF William Shakespeare. Then
comes Morton. Who was he, you ask?
Andrew explains that he discovered
ether. Jenner, the discoverer of vacc-
ination, comes next. Then follows
Nelson, the inventor of the hot blast
in the manufacture Of iron. What
greater thing could any man do for
the uplifting of his fellow men? Lin

of printing, is given place on Mr..

Dies at Duluth.

Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 8.-Andrew Con-
nors-just plain eAndy" Connors-but
a friend of James J. Hill and Archbish-
op Ireland, died today at hospital at
the age of 81.
In 1855 Connors roWed to Duluth
from Green Bay in a little skiff. Ac-
companied by Father Leviex from Du-
luth, he went to st. Paul and for thir-
ty-fve years was employed there, liv-
ing in what was said to be the first
house erected in St. Paul. 1t was on
the site of the old capitol. Later he
came to Duluth and had made his
home here.
Mr.. Connors was steamboating on
the old Mississippi, when Jim" Hill
was working on the levee. He also
knew Archbishop Ireland in the early
days and was warm friend of the
now famous prelate. Mr.. Connors To-
Gated the Clough brothers on a claim
in northern Minnesota. One of the
brothers later became governor of
Minnesota.
James J. Hill never forgot his old
friend and frequently when he came to
the "head of the lakes" looked up
ANDY" Connors on the docks and Wis
tied with him.

as an illuminate; Hargreaves, inven-
tor of the spinning jimmy; Stephenson,
inventor of the locomotive, and Sym
ington, inventor of the rotary engine
But what of the inventors OF shin
gle nails and railroad spikes and hat
pins? Are not these articles made Of
iron and steel? And what of the in
ventors of rat traps and mouse catchers
and button hooks and hair pins? They
all contribute to the extent Of An
