CARNEGIE AS A HUMORlST,

Andrew Carnegie has budded forth
in new role, this time as a unique
and original mirth- provoking humorist
He has made his debut as a rival OF
Mark Twain by publishing a 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-
nation, 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
coin is named, as is also the Scotch
poet, Burns. Gutenberg, the inventor
of printing, is given a place on Mr..
Carnegie's great list OF great men, and
