Awful Remarks.

“In his archives at Sklbo castle,” said a lawyer, "Andrew Carnegie preserves a very Interesting document. “When Mr. Carnegie started In the steel business, he was resolved to reduce the appalling accidents incidental to the work. And he was very successful In executing this resolve. A part' of his success was due, no doubt, to the blank slips that every ‘foreman had to fill up when one of his hands got hurt. “A certain workman had, one day, the bad luck to suffer a slight accident. His foreman, an illiterate, but honest, chap, filled out promptly the slip now preserved at Sklbo. The slip ran; “ ‘Date, March 6, 1880. “ ‘Name—James Miles. “ ‘Nature of accident —Toe crushed. “ ‘How caused —Oxdentle blow from sledge. “ ‘Remarks—These was awful. I will repete to clerk verbally.’ *
