As Good as a Youth.

Workmen at a mill in Greencastle are telling h good story regarding one of the-workmen. It has been a rule of the company not to employ men over a certain age. A few days ago a man living within a stone’s throw of the mill solicited work, but was turned down because of his gray whiskers and his snow-white hair.® The “old” man was not daunted. He felt he was still good for many days of work, so he went to a drug store, bought a bottle of black hair dye and soon had his whiteness a jet black. He again asked.for work of the same foreman and was accepted at once. He was put to work and made good from the start. Then he Was worried because his white hair was growing, as also were his equally white whiskers. He again bought- a second bottle of dye and used it to hide his identity. The “old" man is still working his eight hours a. day. and. one official of the company stated he had done such a good job he did not have to buy another bottle of dye, but could hold his job. even with his white hair and whiskers. —Indianapolis News. ,
