SPEAKING OF CHANCE
By J*. H. FERGUSON.
"It is a gumble," ?ald IahiiiiIm, "ami
it might M?em attractive to others,
Not to me.*'
"Well, Isn't everything a gamble,
ImihIih'hu or nport?" nuked DoWltt.
"You can't tell how you are coming
out, no matter how careful you are
about going In. 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.
"Now, gentlemen, will you call these
related happenings mere chai\pe? As
Mr. Iyooinis said, 'Not to me.' In a

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

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

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. After picking, dip in
