Chase as a Barber,

Men of talent often fail from turning
their talents in wrong direction Chief
Justice Chase, for example, would never
have made successful barber He lived
for while in his youth with his uncle,
Bishop Chase, who prepared him for col
lege. One morning he told the budding
Salmon to kill and dress a pig The incip-
lent statesman was net much Of butcher,
and when he came to the delicate opera
ton of scalding the pig, horror! the hair
set. But in his extremity he bethought
himself of his uncle's razor, and, in due
course of time, had the porker shaved from
tip OF snout to tail-end. The Bishop, on
his return, complimented his nephew on
the neatness with which he had performed
his task. When. however the old gentle
man came to shave himself, his cherished
razor was found in sad plight An in
vestigation followed, and young Salmon
received some very serious advice.
