By GARRETT P. sERVIss.

TERE is a young man who
writes to me on "a subject
that is always. more or
less, fascinating to the human
mind.
rs there any scientific explana-
ton Of luck? | am a very un-
lucky person, Everything | try
goes against me. I can't win
game Of cards or, anyhow, not
often. The good cards always
avoid me. I can't pitch pennies
without losing almost every time.
Are some people born lucky, as
l have heard ?-B. A."
To the first question / reply:
Yes, there is a scientific ex-
PLANTATION of luck" and to the
second. No; people are NOT
BORN UNLUCKY. in the sense
that YOU mean"
one Of the greatest mathema-
ticlans that ever lived. the as
tronomer, Laplace, wrote book
on luck, as he called it, An Es-
say on Probabilities, and YOU
should read it. 1t might keep YOU
away from Monte Carlo if You
should ever get money enough 10
30 there. and It would certainly
keep YOU from gambling at home.
For the benefit of the young men
of his time, Laplace gave lectures
on this subject in the normal
schools of Paris.
Luck Obeys Law.
In his book Laplace says: IAN
things that happen, even those
that seem too insignificant to be
connected with the great laws Of
nature. are as necessary conse-
Quences OF those laws as are the
revolution of the planets"
That is simply a declaration
that LUCK obeys LAW. II
things seem to go against you 1t
is not because of any occult infu-
euce standing in your way. but it
is because the circumstances
compel them to act thus.
You can control events if you
can discover the causes under
lying them If YOU cannot dis
cover the causes, then they viii
fall out in a way which seems to

GARRETT p. sERVIss.

Laplce's calculus Of probabili-
ties, whose principles he applied
to all human things, not except
ing the moral sciences" is, per
haps. to observe what happens
when YOU throw up a coin. 1t
must necessarily come down with
either heads" or tails" upper
most.
1t Is Unknown Forces.
If you could measure all the
forces acting upon 1.-THE twist.
or pitch, or twirl. the number Of
turns. the influence Of air cur
rents, the effect Of inequalities of
the table on which it strikes. etc.
then you could predict which side
would come uppermost But if
these forces are unknown. even
mathematics can do nothing for
you.

WHY?
She said pigs instead OF
"hawgs" never used a dou-
BILE negative once all the time she
was there.
Did they admire their old
friend for her good sense and
cleverness in adopting the new
ways of the new world she lives
in when she is at home? Not
they They nudged each other
and giggled every time she spoke
and called her stuck up" behind
her back.
Everything she had worked 80
hard to learn didn't mean one
thing to them. They just said
she was putting on" and let it
go at that-and the woman pack
ed her modish suitcase and put
on her pretty new hat-and went
away a little sad-not becauSe
she felt above" her old neigh
bors. but because she was above
them and couldn't help feeling 1t
every time she went to see them
again.
They lived shut of in their lit
tie back water eddy-cherishing
the old mistakes. the old delu-
sions. the old follies.
John Smith may go to town
and make his way in the great
world of men-make 1t honestly,
fearIessly, fairly-hght his fight
like a man and the son of a man.
What is he when he goes back
home?" Just Queer Jack Smith,
whose father drank too much,
and whose mother was the worst
housekeeper in town"
1t isn't Jack Smiths fault It's
the fault OF his old - neighbors
They stayed in the rut, and he
got out OF it--and nothing that
he can do, or think, or say, or
dream, or accomplish will make
them see that that very fact
shows that he really does amount
to little something, even If his
mothers bread always did sour
and her cake fall on the very day
Of the Ladies' AID picnic.
Be Proud of Her.
Come. come, old neighbor--
don't keep your eyes shut so tight
open them and youn see some
thing interesting.
You used to lend her your
gloves to go to town with and her
brother always had to borrow a
bat from your brother when he
wanted to play ball-and now
she has three he is to your one
and has a laundress and a cook
well, what of It? Be proud Of
her rejoice with her in her good
luck and the good sense to know
how to use it.
No one life has Joy enough in It
to go around-borrow a little from
the old neighbor-get her to tell
you how she lives, what she does,
how she likes It all.
Put your eye to the crack in the
fence Of circumstances and look
through. 1t will do you good to
get a new view of thinga-don't
try TO tear the fence down just
because you happen to be on the
wrong side OF IT..
Feel above you" does she7
Well, then, she's learned very lit
tie with all her good fortune-un-
less, as I said before, she really
is above you-and In that case
you know you can hardly blame
her, can you?
