The chance that stocks will go up or down Ib Just th? name an the chance that the ball will fall in the red or the black on the roulette wheel." "Not the name," rejoined lx>oinls, "for full knowledge of. the market and the holdlnga enables the operator to forecast ordinary fluctuation** There can bo no forecast of a happening that 1b governed only by chnnoe." "May I Buggest," Interposed the pro fessor, "that the analysts is destructive of both contentions. Mr. Loomls as Buines that there arc happenings 'gov erned' by chance. Perhaps If ho will examine the phrase he will discover that it is paradoxical. Is what he call* chance governed by something ?" Loomls hesitated, and DeWltt laughed. "I think the profesaor agrees with ray view." "On the contrary," Buid the profes sor. "I believe there is no such thing as chance. More, I am willing to reBt my belief on your experience. Have you ever known of an occurrence that ultimately proved to be utterly pur poseless and out of time? Don't an swer me too quickly. Let me tell you of a strange series of what my friend lxx>mts calls chanccB. The story haa Just come to me fairly complete. "Nine years ago two children, broth, er and slBter, were placed In a char itable institution in New York city. Their mother had died and left them unprovided for, their father had dis appeared some time before. The boy was ten years ol<J, the girl seven. After a year In the institution the boy ran away, and, strange to say, left the city and followed the railroad westward. It was in the summer and he made his way easily for fruit and plentiful and sleeping out of doors was not a hardship. He had many ad ventures along the road, but none worth mention until late in September, when he found himself In ia. little vil lage in southern Michigan. His cloth ing had been worn to rags and he was beginning to be shy of town, fearing arrest and possibly a forced return to New York. But In Mattawan he saw a kind-faced woman who not only gavo him a meal but a complete suit of clothes, and who talked to him with so much interest that he told her more of his story than he had con fided to any other new acquaintance. He sald^that his parents were dead, that he was going to California, where the gold came from, and that he had made his way alone from Rochester. The woman tried to Induce him to stay for q, time with her, but he was afraid and got away as quickly as he could. , "He arrived in San Francisco Christ mas week, by that time well Inured to hardship but still self-reliant. His first meal in that city was earned the next morning selling papers, fot he found not only Instruction but help among the" newsboys. For a long time he made no more thM* bare living, but by the time of th^nre he had begun to save. Three years ago, then fifteen years old, he realized that he needed an education more than anything else, and he began to attend night school. He kept hlB place on the street selling the morning papers, but in the after noon gave it up to others while he went to his studies. Last November he learned of a place with an engineer ing Arm here that would be open for him If he could prepare for it. To make it he would require at least six months at the university, and It seem ed out of his reach. He needed $200 to sustain him, for he would be oblig ed to give up his newspaper selling, j Every plan he could think of present- f ed the same necessity ? Ifore money? and he knew of no way to get it. Two days later he plckcd up a purse on the walk where he had stood so many mornings, and in the purse was $600. It seemed like a direct answer to his wishes, but he wanted to bo honest. The next morning he turned quickly but tremblingly to the "lost and found' advertisements. What he hoped Hot to see was there, and two hours later' he was on his way to the address given. To his knock the door open ed and there, not recognized for a minute of curious surprise and strug gling recollection, stood his sister, whom he had not seen for seven years. "Her story was even more interstlng than his. She had been chosen from among her many companions in the in stitution and adopted by a childless couple from Michigan, who had Visited New York with this purpose in mind. A long time after she had become wonted to her new home she told her foster mother of her brother, who had run away three years before. With her description the kind-faced woman recalled the boy she had fed and clothed, and told the sister of the incident and the boy's expressed de termination to go to California. Then came from the charitable institution a message and a bequest. The father of the children had traced them so far, but had died before he could Join the daughter. He had left' her $600. With this small fortune the girl could think of nothing biira journey to California in search of her brother. She came and found hini by losing her purse.

COMBAT POULTRY YARD FOES Some Essential Measures Outlined by Expert Poultrymen for Control of Insect Parasites. Insect parasites are the cuuso of a groat deal of annoyance und Iosh to poultryraon Borne essential ineasureu as outlined by Cieorge ,M. Turpln for their control ure: llavo the poultry houses separated from all other farm buildings. Have all the Interior fixtures of the poultry houuoH, such as roost polua, neat boxes, feed hoppers, dropping doarda, etc., removed ao that overy part of the interior can be readily cleaned ami aprayed. Keep a good dual bath to which the fowls may have access at all tlmea of thu day. Common road dust with line ashes und powdered aulphur or air-slacked lime added la excelleut. The road duet should be gathered during dry weather for uao during the winter. Bpray the coopa and fixtures with a good whitewash twice each year, adding two pounds of salt and one fourth gallon of crude carbolic acid to every 00 galona of the spraying mixture. Betting hens should have access to a good dust bath auch as mentioned above. If lice are found later on the chicks, rub lard In the feathers of the head and throat, and In bad cases also under the wings. SHIPMENT OF BABY CHICKS Little Fellows May Be Sent Long Dls< tancee by Express Without Dam ger or Dlsoomfort. One of the most interesting branch es of tho poultry business is the shli> ping of baby chicks hundreds, even thousands, of miles, and yet have them arrive in good /condition for further growth and development. By ship ping direct from the Incubator whdn the chicks are one day old, advantage is taken of that -period in the life of the chicks when nature intended that they should bo without food, and they can therefore without Injury or dis comfort be sent long distances by ex press under any conditions of climate. Chicks when first hatched require neither food or drink. Indeed, such is harmful. During the first seven ty-two hours the chick's life is sus tained by the assimilation of the yolk, for the embryo chick Is developed from the white of the egg, and Just be fore hatching the yolk is drawn up into its system and furnishes all the food any chick should have for the first three days of Its life. It Is dur ing this period that chicks can be shipped as far as express can take them. KEEPING RATS FROM POULTRY By Inverting Tin Bucket on Posts Supporting House Rodents May Be Kept Away. If there are many rats in your vicin ity it will pay you to make It im possible for them to enter your poul try house. Put a post In the . ground for every corner of the house, Bays a writer In the Iowa Homestead. Invert Rat-Proof Hen House. over the top of the post an old three gallon tin bucket. Set your house on these posts and when Mr. Rat at tempts to climb a post and go into the poultry house he simply goes up in side the bucket and does not accom plish his purpose. HEN MANURE AS FERTILIZER Has Greater Value Than Vny Other ?\. Kind Used on Farm ? Should Be Well Taken Care Of. Hen manure as a fertilizer has greater value than any other fertiliz er- on the farm. It is generally sup posed by some poultrymen that the manure will pay for taking care of the hens, but this depends much on how it is kept. The dropping boards under the roosts should be kept cov ered with some absorbent to preserve the strength of the droppings. ? l>and plaster or South Carolina rock Is good. Never use wood ashes or lime with the poultry droppings. Tho ammonia or nitrogen would be- set free, and part of the value of {he fer tilizer lost. The droppings should not he applied on a growing crop, or cov ered soil. Use it on corn by putting n handful on each hill at the time of last hoeing. It should be kept under cover until used. Killing a Turkey. The proper way to kill a turkey is to tie its feet together, hang on a pole, then cut the throat and allow to bleed freely. Dry pick, leaving head ; and wings on.
