Divitl Brooks was manager of a Pittsburg railroad ollice when a boy

named Andrew Carnegie waa a messenger in it at a salary of ^.'i a week. The boy bad just arrived with hia father and mother from Scotland, the linil of Ilia birth. That waa very little n>ore than thirty-six reurw ago, yet to-day he is the millionaire ironiuongor of Pittsburg, Andrew Carnegie has said, "I owe my rise in lifu to a game of check-ers." 1 will explain to you what that remark means. The elder Carnegie was a moulder in a pottery. Like many .Scotchmen he was exceedingly fond of playing checkers. In Pittsburg at that time was a well kiiown ale-house, in one room of which those who ioveti to play checkers wi-re wont to assemble. .Aiuuiig theui were Carnegie and j Brooks, and in this way the two men j became acquainted. Carnegie's son also came there at times with his father, and be, too, tested David Brooks' pow- | ers at draughts. One day the elder j Carnegie remarked thai he did not I know what lo do with liis son. ".Send ; hiiu down to my ollice and I will make j a messenger boy of liiui, ' said .Mr. { Brooks. The next day hu began his j now (uiii)loyment. The lad was intellig- j fill and iiulustrious. Manager Brooks ! bud an old telegraph inatrumenl lltled j up in the ollice, and when the meHsen ger boys were not engaged he showed them on this bow to pick out the Morse alphabet. With this instrument young Carnegie soon btfcanie a skilful <)|u ra-lor. Thomas A. Scoit was at tlmt tiine Superintendent of tl|e l^ennsyIvania Road in Pittsburg, lie had a teU'jraph inKtrtnneii! rigged up in bis otHi'c and \vant<:d some one to niaiiipulale the key.
