Ned's Hen Speculation.

"My pesky hens all want TO sit and
I can't stop their wanting ~. Here
are no less than ten of them all on
their nests. | believe ! will Xxi them"
The speaker was a neighbor who was
closing up his hen house for the night,
and in an eXasperated tone was telling
Ned, who happened 10 be by, the po-
sition in which he had found things.
Bound to sit, are they responded
Ned
Il guess you would think so, IL You
had pulled EN- off the nests us many
times as | have the last week. IL ap-
pears TO me as if the all-possessed had
got into EN-. and all nature can't pre-
vent" responded the farmer.
why don't you let them sit, them"
do not wish the bother Of chick
ems, responded the farmer
VIII you sell those nensy' queneo
Ned
Yes. and be glad to get rid OF the
pesky critters"
What will you take for them-for
the ten mean?" said Ned.
"Oh, / will take fifty cents each; TO
kill them they would bring more than
that" replied the farmer.
But you do not want the OoIher Vi
killing them, besides. sitting hens are
seldom fat. You have ten hens that
you say are a nuisance to you. Fifty
cents for Nuisance is too much. Now
II you wish TO get rid of them all, I'll
take ten off your hands at thirty-hve
cents each, $3.50 cash. and come and
get them"
They are worth more than that,
but am a mind 10 let you have them,
he said, after thinking a moment. TO
tell the truth, they are not very fat,
and they are making me a lot Of troub-
lie now. Yes, you may have them

Counting the Profit.

Ned sold his squashes at good ad-
vantage, and at an average price OF
three and one-half cents per pound,
and this brought him the neat sum OF
s162S2, not including the premium, or
sl67S2 in all.
The hen speculation proved 10 be
success; Ned's chickens proved to be
large and fat. and as we have Said
brough good prices. In April OF the
third year, Ned balanced his books as
follows:
Amount deposited in bank from

he removed them from the chickens as
early as possible. began TO lay again
very soon, and when they began to-
show signs of wanting TO sit again he
killed them for the market They were
now fat. and he received an average OF
sixty cents each, which was profit OF

This letter will tell something of
Sunshine in Japan, it was written by a
native japanese girl, who was educated
in New York, and while at school be-
came Sunshine worker, and carried
the Sunshine spirit back to the far east
with her, founding a branch and en-
listing many to join her in the good
work. Our good president general to
whom this letter was written has given
the writer every assistance possible in
her labor of love.
Matsuyama, Japan, Nov. %, 1904.
Dear Mrs. Alden-I have ordered $40
sent to you for our badges. You were
very kind to wait on us SO long for the
money. / hope you received the little
box of dolls, ETC., in time for empty
stockings" Our little Sunshine band
is faithful one, and we have much we
want to do for Christmas cheer. We
are making special efforts now for the
destitute families of soldiers. This is
terrible war, and cold weather finds
so many widows, fatherless children
and old people without support and
destitute. There are 400 Russian
prisoners here, 600 of whom are wound
ed. There are about $1,000 japanese
soldiers, sick and wounded, in the hos
pitfalls i'll Japan. We want to do what
we can TO carry Sunshine to as many of
these as possible.
Lately we have made a lot of book
marks, souvenirs of Japan, and sent
them to different Sunshine friends to
sell for us in the United States. If we
were not so far away we would ask you
for some barrels of old clothing, bed
ding, ETC., but the freight would be too
much. Many Sunshine friends have
sent us pretty handkerchiefs, which we
hope to sell, but there is little sale for
anything these days. We thank them
for their gifts and sympathy.
One dollar and half will feed one
person (many live on much less) a
whole month-a little money goes a
long way out here-and if any of our
Sunshine friends see fit to help us we
shall be SO thankful. Last Saturday
we visited the wounded japanese boys
at the hot springs near here. We took
quantities of chrysanthemums, and the
girls arranged them in the vases in
the wards. We took them two sets of
Halma (games) and the little Bilhorn
organ and sang several songs for them.
We taught them to sing "Pass 1t On"
lin Japanese), and they liked it so much
that we left several copies with them
and promised to come back soon and
teach them some new songs, We taught
them how to play Halma and they
were delighted, and begged us to come
often.
Please thank our many friends
through the Bulletin for handkerchiefs,
dollar bill, etc., which we have re-
ceived, and we assure all who can pos
sibly lend hand in this work for des-
titute families it will be much appre-
ciated. Yours in Sunshine,
