gotten and but recently remembered
dream OF Andrew Carnegie, the steel
king. will be fulfilled when his
daughter, Miss Margaret Carnegie,
who took out a marriage license to-
day with Ensign Roswell p Miller,
U. S. ", weds the young officer.
Miss Carnegie, who gave her age as
%. was born of late marriage, for
the great irOn-master did not marry
Louis Whitfield. the heiress' mother,
until he was so. More than a score of
years before his marriage, when Mr..
Carnegie, as a hired man in a Pitts
burg steel mill was known as Andy"
the young workman. then 80, was
chatting with his bosom friend, Ros-
well Miller. They had formed a
strong friendship during the Civil
War, Miller having fought as a lieu
tenant in the 3rd New York Artillery,
and young Carnegie working in the
office OF the superintendent Of mill
tary telegraphs.
"Give Her To MY Boy"
The two men were looking over
some steel rails ordered by Miller,
then a railroad contractor. A be-
dizened young woman flounced by,
and Carnegie, glancing at her, re-
marked to his friend:
Ross, if ever get married and
have a daughter, I'm not going to let
her grow up to be a doll. She is 60
ing TO know something about MAX
ing her home"
And If / ever have boy, Andy"
responded Miller. IL hope he marries
that girl of yours or some one like
her; because he is going to earn his
own living and know how to do II
with his own hands"

Margaret came to brighten the home
of Andrew Carnegie, then GA years of
age He is now sc and she is %,
yet they are chums and have been
since she could lisp and toddle about
the room.

he and his friend Miller had voiced
many years ago. Andrew Carnegie
and his wife, who shared his demo-

American woman of the girl'who will
inherit such part of the ironmaster's
$500, 100000 as he has not given
away. She was taught to cook and
sew and clean house. When she first
went to school at the age of 15 she
knew far more about housekeeping
than most young women know when
they marry. She could market and
make clothes and the miniature
apartment she set apart in the Carne-
gle mansion at 2 East 81 ST., for her
special use and experimentation had
been finished and re-finished and re-
arranged by her, until ii was perfect.
About year ago, if Andrew Carne-
gle had lost his recollection of his
long ago dream, dame nature stepped
in TO remind him. Margaret Carne-

of Roswell p. Miller, son of Mr.. Car
