By Ishbel M. Ross

Possibly in no phase Of his existence
was more of the human side Of Andrew
Carnegie revealed than during the
months he spent each year at Skibo
Castle. Fifth Avenue knew him as one
of its greatest mllionaires, but in
Scotland he was simply the little lair
OF Skibo," plain son of the soil, who
mad the courage and the grit to achieve
phenomenal success.
He was born in I.owland Scotland.
but when he returned years afterward
to choose home from the many beau
tifui estates of his native country, he
travelled to the extreme Northern
highlands and settled on a castle pict-
uresquely situated in Sutherlandshire.
Almost the first thing he did was to
have two marble marbles made.-one.
OF the tiny house of his birth; the
other, Of his newly acquired castle.
Today they rest side by side in the
hall of Skibo. and it was the laird's
PRIDE to point to them as the story of
his life, the marble evidence Of the
long road he had travelled.
Modernized Skibo Castle
Sklbo has been one of the show
places of Scotland since Mr.. Carnepie
took 1t iver several years ago and CON
verted 1T into an up-to-date residence
that contrasts oddly with fine old
Dunrobin Castle, nearby, belonging to
the Duke of Sutherland
Dunrobin is the epitome of all that
is ancient and historic But Skibo

Its elevators, its great furnaces and its

Mr. Carnegie's attention was called

and he was asked what he was going to

"Tel that editor" replied Mr.. Car
negie, "to watch and see. | hope I shall
not justify the definition, sometimes
deserved, Of a philanthropist as man
with great deal of money but very
little sense"
"My first act upon retiring from busi-
ness" said Mr.. Carnegie, IN the testi-
mony already quoted, in February, 1915,
"was to give S5,000,000 to the workmcn
