Ineffectual Attempt to get It before

CHANCE ALWAYS WINS
MONEY IN BETTING THE OTHER
FELLOW WILL GUESS WRONG.
Peculiar Pyschological Paot, But It Has
Been Proved to Be Exact
Records of Monte Carlo
Show It to Be Right.
Toss a coin into the air 10,000 times
and it will very likely turn up heads
as often as tails. But let any man try
on each of the 10,000 times to say
whether it will be heads or tails and
if ho does not stick to calling the samno
one he will iiss it more than five
thousand times.
I have the authority of a great psy
chologist for this queer fact. Leave a
thing wholly to chance, and if chances
are even the result will.be even.
However, when the human mind
backs its wits against chance it will
in the long run lose.
It was on this theory that people
will guess wrong oftener than they
will guess right that the Rufus Wall
ingford enterprises, which were closed
up in Philadelphia yesterday, could
thrive. Guessing in future events
where personal preference or preju
dice enters makes the chance of losing
all the greater.
The most famous insurance concern
in the world Is the Lloyds. A fairly
largo part of Its business has been to
bet that the other fellow will guess
wrong. That is why it has becomo so
rich itself.
Tho bucket shop and its system of
playing the stock market cannot win.
They win very often, but they lose
oftener. hence tho empty pockets of
those who try to wring fortunes out
of guessing whether Union Pacific and
spring wheat will this afternoon go ip
or down.
Monte Carlo records show that in a
year the red on any roulette wheel
wine virtually the same number of
times as the black. Ilut the records
also show that any player who does
not cling steadily to one color, but
varies his guesses, will in 'the end
lose.
I do not includo the percentages in
favor, of the bank, but just the straight
red and black proposition. One color
has been known at this most fascinat
ing spot on the Riviera to come up 56
consecutive times.
Gamblers say that when tossing a
coin you should let the other fellow
call it. Your own chance of winning
is thereby mado greater by the human
brain's inability to cope against
chance.-Exchango.
He Knew She'd Guess it.
For five years John llenry bad been
.keeping company %%ith Hannah May,
but not once in all that time had he
whistled any tune that sounded like a
wedding march. Naturally Hannah
May was beginning to feel a trifle con
cerned.
One evening, however, John Henry
came to the house looking as if he
might propose, and a great hope filled
the heart of the fairy one. Hope de
veloped into certainty when the young
man drew a small jeweler's box from
his vest pocket
"Hannah, dear," began John Henry,
in a gentle voice, "I have brqught you
a little present, but I'm afraid it won't
fit your finger. WVill you try it on?"
"Oh, John!" ecstatically cried the
dear one, "do you really mean to say
that you have bought me---"
"Yes," was the hope, killing rejoin
der of John as he handed over the
box, "a thimble. I knew you would
guess it\the first time."
Chinese Woman's Cbmplexion.
A. French expert has been giving
his attention to what ho calls "the
exquisite complexion of the Chinese
women." This, he claims, is not due
to enameling, as is generally sup
posed, but to careful manIpulation of
the face by most expert masseuses.
They begin by a gentle pinching of
the cheeks between the til)S 'f their
fingers, an operation that consuntes a
period of ten mInutes. sThen lotions
are applied by means of absorbent cot
ton; then comes an unguent, and there
follows a kneading of the cheeks with
an extreme delicacy of touch, always
proceeding from the nose and commis
sures of the lips toward the ears.

Uncorkirtg a Bottle.
It often happens that in attemptIng
to uncork a bottle the stopper is
forced into the bottle instead, and it
thus floats on the liquid. This would
perhaps not be a drawback were it
not that each tIme the bottle is to be
emptied the cork comes to the neck
and causes an obstruction, preventing
the flow of the liquid. T'his can be
avoided very readily, and nil that is
needed is to bendl a piece of stiff iron
wire in a long U-shape, properly fit
ting it in the neck of the bottle so
that the loop portion projects some
What below the neck. Upon overturn
ing the hottle, the wire loop prevents
the cork fronm reaching th~e neck to olp
.struct it.

"Weoll, I doubt~lf you'll see another
hundred years," said the tourist, try

"I don't know so much about that,
