Young men are sometimes deferred from
pursuing vocation to which they are in
ciined by the fear that, being ''unfashiOn-
able" II will exclude them from society.
An eminent mechanical engineer began his
life-work by filing iron In machine shop.
At night, after his first days work, he
looked at his soiled hands and broken
go into society with such hands as these ?
What will the young ladies think of my
finger-nails?'
Then came the temptation to abandon the
shop and become a clerk. He resisted,
gave up society, devoted himself to his
trade, and in few years was constructing
ships. He had the courage to give up
society that he might acqnire skill in
mechanics.
Ampere, the great French chemist, though
one Of the most intellectual of scientists,
found that he could not be both in society
and in his laboratory. He once went to
dine with fashionable lady, who made a
point of gathering notable persons around
her. His hands were stained by a harmless
drug which blaekens the skin for few
days. Ampere wrote to his wife:
''She declared that my hands looked un-
clean. and ended by leaving, the table, say
ing she would dine when l was at dis
tanee. / promised not to return there be
fore my hands were white. OF course
shall never enter the house again"

POOR BUT PROUD.

aDoc" Whitehead Refuses 10 be Clothed In
New Garments, But is Afterwards Com
PEELED by the Oficers to Accept
Yesterday morning some of the many
kind-hearted friends of Doctor Whitehead
purchased complete outfit for him, a full
suit of clothes, shirt, socks, two suits of
underwear, shoes and hat, and rendered
them to the peculiar man with their COM
pliments. But, as he has done in all other
cases, he absolutely refused to accept of
them. The friends, knowing that Doc.
had not had a change of clothing for many
months past were determined for his own
good that he should take these
and put them on and wear them. So they
got couple of able-bodied policemen to go
up to the house and assist the physician i'm
the change of his apparel. They plead
and coaxed, begged, entreated and even
threatened him, but he stood up before
them with his arms folded and dared any
man to lay hands on him. There was no
other way to do but to make him obey or
ders, so the fun began. The doctor made
chairs, tables, lamp and everything fly
around the room as soon as the officers
touched him. They finally succeeded in
getting his new outfit on him. The doctor
looked like a genuine dude with his
new suit on. The officers imme-
diately burned up his old clothes
and as the doctor saw them perishing in the
flames he began to wall claiming that he
Lad a ten cent piece in the pants pocket
The officers Immediately saw that this was
a secret dodge of the docs" to work them
for dime to get drink. AS soon as he
got chance the doctor stole quietly up be-
fore looking-glass to get a peep at him
self. For fully i've minutes he did nothing
but stare in that weird, wild, empty way of
his, then he broke out into broad grin ex-
claiming "Well I'll be durRed.n He is now
as happy as little boy with his first pair
of pants. He talks of bracing up and go
ing into society.

Is published in full:
FARMERS, LOOK OUT.
The following letter has been written us
with the request that we publish II ''fOr the
benefit of our farmer readers We gladly
give 1t space in our columns for the purpose
of warning the farmers who read the Chron-
icle that all such advertising schemes are
frauds. Please read and remember.
DEAR EDIroR-I have limited amount of
very superior quality of extremely large field
corn which has recently been originated and
which will mature in from eighty To ninety days.
Ears are from twelve to sixteen inches long,
and have a slender cob and very fine large
grains; is marvel of beauty; l34 bushels of
shelled corn has been raised per acre. | am
very anxious TO know what this corn will do in
other climates, before advertising it for sale,
and will send large sample package free. to
any farmer who will take good care and report
his success with 10 and will enclose twenty
f,e cents in silver TO pay postage. packing.
etc, on same. Address, W. y. Rust, Spring
field, Ohio.
We doubt not many hard working
granger has sent this fellow twenty-five
cents in silver to pay postage, packing,
etc" And there the deal ended, for the
eighty day corn with ears sixteen inches
long," was never sent him.
Mr.. Eust was seen by a GLoBR-REPUB-
Lie reporter last night after long tramp,
and shown the above and asked what he
had to say about it. He read the article,
laughed and seemed very little concerned in
any way about it. He was told that the
GLoBE-REPUBLIc would like TO have some
statement from him regarding the matter,
either vindication or an admission Of the
charges. When pressed he said that he got
out one thousand postal cards
claiming that his corn will mature In from
eighty to ninety days, but that the ears will
only average from ten to fourteen inches in
length. He has advertised in a good many
papers through Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota and Dakota, giving each two
months contract. He has met with good
deal of success, he says, and honestly
claims it to be genuine, straight forward
business. He started to carry his scheme
out on the fifteenth of January,
which will be a month tomorrow. The
corn is raised ON his fathers farm out near
Northampton. Whenever he receives an
order he selects the best samples, puts it up
in a neat package, and mails it for a
quarter.
Mr.. Rust is son of J. l.. Rust, formerly
Of the ''Songster and Fireside Friend but
now president of the Millcreek Lime. Stone
and Coal Co., at 224 West Main street. He
claims that he was oat of business and had
no way of raising money, and took this
means, thinking this to be fair, genuine,
legitimate business.
