RICH MANS SON A MINER.
Henry K McHarg Tried Wall Street, but
Gave It Up to Become Laborer.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE


Stamford. Conn, Jan The reason why Henry
K. McHarg, jr worked as a laborer in the mines
of the Virginia Iron Coal and Coke Company con-
trolled by his father became known here to-day 1t
appears that it is the young mans own desire 20
go into the mines Young lcHarg tried the ex-
amina tons for entrance to the engineering depart
nent at Cornell in September. He failed in one
subject and to perfect himself in that subject de-
cided that practical experience was better than
textbook study. Accordingly. he went to Texas.
where his father owns town and controls n
railroad. For month two he worked as fire
man on the railroad as hard any other employe-
When he returned here. about Thanksgiving he
had acquired skill enough to a locomotive
alone. His previous experience with automobiles
and other machinery stood MIN in stead But his
father wanted Henry to go into his offices in Wall
ST. and the young man decided to give it a trial.
After using his commutation ticket two or three
days Henry said 10 his father:
I've got enough OF this work I don't want 70
do work at which il is necessary to wear collars
and cuffs L would rather work with my hands
and get that kind of experience
He went home, and remained there until his
father made arrangements to send him to the
mines in Tennessee. Mr.. and Mrs. McHarg ac-
companed their son to Tennessee. and remained
with him for while. They are home now, but
decline to say anything about the matter Young
McHarg is nineteen old He is popular her9
because of his democratic habits Mr.. 1cHarg is
a liberal giver 70 charities. On the McHarg home
stead here a fine workshop was fitted up for
Henry. Here he built his auto and tinkered wiki
other original devices The boy is an only son.
