Carnegie Doubly Interested.

One more statue was unveiled, recently, of the immortal Robbie Burns, this time in Boston. Andrew Carnegie spent much of his holiday time in Scotland, and divided it between dedicating free libraries, opening church organs, and unveiling Burns statues. Meeting Mr. Carnegie at a St. Andrew's dinner in New York, a braw Scot but recently come over said, “Mr. Carnegie, I would like to shake you by the hand; you unveiled a statue of Robbie Burns last summer in my home town.” “Aye,” said Mr. Carnegie, after a , pause, *that' would be Montrose, the only place I ever had anything to do with a Burns statue that I didna pay for. On that account Tm doubly pleased to meet you.”—Christian Science Monitor.
