ANDY CARNEGIE TELLS HIS OWN STORY One of Andrew Carnegie's habits was to keep a diary, in which he set down his experiences and impressions at fairly regular intervals. At certain times they were extremely frank, be- ing intended for no other eYe to tight upon„ Later on they seemed to contemplate publication some day, and became more reserved, The diaries forts the basis of the steel king's autobiography, which has re- cently been issued with the consent of Mrs. Carnegie. Andrew Carnegie never was a popular man. He was too rich, despite bis benefactions, and his benefactions themselves, while they may have staggered the public mind, somehow failed to win the public affection and gratitude. -Where was also a feeling, perhaps, that Carnegie, like Ford, projected his views into realms where they Were of tittle value, No doubt when it was found that the Laird of Skibo had left 'many millions behind him his remark that it was a disgrace to die rich was unflatteringly recalled Tribute to Parente The autobiography shows Carnegie in 'other aspects, For one thing, it reveals the love he entertained for his father and another, amounting to reverence for the latter. He said that "none could ever know her--- ' alone did that," and we must sup- pose that one of the greatest happi.- nesses of his life was the fact that •his mother lived long enough to see him develop into one of the great business men of the age, and was able to spend her declining years in affluence. Carnegie began humbly enough, but of his inheritance he writes: "The 'nether, nurse, cook, governess, teacher; saint, all in one the father, exemplar, guide, counsel• for and friend. Thus were any broth. er and 1 brought up. What has the child of millionaire or nobleman that counts with such a heritage?"

Andrew started work at the also of 15, and earn •d one dollar and a quarter ,a week. Latter he became a messenger boy, and gave kis first demonstration of ()Tanking ability. Meseeneters were entitled to collect an extra dime for each message delivered beyond a ceetaio area, and naturally there was competition for such errands, .At Andrew's suggestion all his extra money was pooled and ev'enl'y divid- ed, thus • abolishing hateful competi- tion, and maybe assit;ting the non - sumer by renio''ving the peesonal de- sirel'of the messenger beeeefor the ex tra dine destined for the community ,chest.

A Love For Literature His views about $50,000 a year be- ing ample were modified, for Car- negie then was but really beginning, but it is only fair to say that even as a young man he was a systematic giver. The death of his mother and brother in 1886 was a tremendous blow to hint Shortly afterward he astonished his friends by marrying Miss Louise Whitfield, who brought him great happiness. It was after the birth of their only child, Mar - great, named for bis mother, that he bought Skibo Castle . His affection for his native land was better dis- played in the purchase of a beauti- ful public mark for Dutfertniine, it cost him $3,750,000 and he said that "it was the most soul satisfying pub- lic gift 1 have ever made or can ever make." His love of books was sin- cere, and throughout his life he never (teased to acknowledge his great debt to a friend who had first developed his him the reading habit and made him free of a small lib- rary.

In the next place it informs the subscriber as to how his subscription stands, Whether paid in advance or in arrears. It's a receipt for money paid, or a reminder of money that should be paid. Look at your label and see how you stand with the publisher. The month i9ndi- cates that you Ire paid till the first of that month, unless otherwise in- dicated.

Some years ago the voters' list was made in three parts, but in recent years there have been only parts one and two, The voters' list now goes back to the old forst of three parts. Pact one contains the names of all persons entitled to vote at both municipal elections and elections to the Legisla- tive Assembly; part two, of all per- sons entitled to vote at municipal elections only; and part three, of per- sons entitled to vote at eleetions to the Legislative Assembly only . The names of the women are not included in the 1920 lists because of the early date upon which the assessors do their work. At the time the law, which only came into force an July 29th, did not stake provision for the placing of the women's names upon the Voters' Lists for Legislative franchise, and the township and town lists therefore only contain the two parts as formerly. ,As the town- ship lists and the lists in nearly all places do not contain the women's names for their Legislative franchise provision will have to be made for the making up of lists early next spring.

PRESIDENT-ELECT AS HUMAN BEING We do not know bow interested Canadians are in the personality of Warren Gamaliel Harding, but since he is to be President of the United States for the next •four years he becomes by right of office one of the most important personages in the world. The anecdotes of his career, the human interesting stories, as they are called, are not nearly so heavy a crop as those that grew about Theo- dore Roosevelt. They are quite as lush, however, as those connected with Woodrow Wilson or W. H. Taft. They indicate an average, shrewd, genial personality with a sense of humor, Mr. Herding will be a most dignified looking President, hut at least he is not so dignified as he will appear. I•le was not a particularly dignified Senator. A President, of course, is hedged about with a cer- tain amount of pesudo divinity. Even Roosevelt did not lack it, and while Lincoln was not dignified, there was a sort of moral grandeur about hint which served the shine purpose.

Once when Barrett was to play Brutus in Cleveland, Harding and his staff—consisting of one per- son at that time—spent their last dollar and went hungry in order to pay train fare and buy tickets.

He admits being' greatly in- terested in Napoleon, and thinks he 1 was one of the tnost interesting fig- ures in Hunan history. As a mili- tary expert, too, according to Mr. Harding, he also had his points. But the novel which Mr. Harding has given his heart to is "Imperial Purple," by Edgar Saltus, a story that had a great vogue in its day, but now is almost forgotten.
