Among a number of letters which I found tn my mall this mornlns was one from a man I had never neon , never heard of , and wouldn't know If I were to hear him upcali- IliK nt a political gathering. My friend had evidently seen my name mentioned as a "chicken crank , " and concluded I was the proper person to burden with hln troubles , Instead of tolllns them to the police. Here Is the letter : KOKOMO. Iml. . Oct. 02 , ISM.-Mr , - , Omaha , Noli. : J > oilr Sir I inn 2C years old , mid married. Am In the retail shot- busi ness Unit makes me about JI.WJ u year , but would much rather hnvo outside work If I can make n much money. Have been n "chicken crunk" In a Hmnll way for nbotit three ycnis , keeping' mostly LlKht lirnhmiiHvllli first-class success. 1 liuvu $ .1,000 Invested In thu shou fiuslncss , which 1 can net out nl any time I want lo. Can I , with that nmouiit of capital , fair Judg ment , business ability , etc. , make tl.UUO or more a year ? Or , would you nilvlso me to sluy win-re 1 mV 1 can buy ton acres nt the cilgo of town for Jl.OOO. My Idea has been to ki-i-p l.WO laying htus of u laying variety , expecting them to net tno JSW n year. Also , build an Incubator and brooder house , and turn off from CM ) to 1,000 broilers each spring , Also , snmo number of ducks as broilers. I think ono man and myself can do all the work , and put lip most of the buildings. Do you regard the plan OH visionary or practical ? Arc my c.stlmatCH too high , and huvo I got my Ideas lee large ? Can two men do all the work ? Is 15,003 enough capital to buy place and nil ? Are ten acres enough for what I want ? If you regnrd the plan as practical , when would b- the best time to buy the plnc-o ? I want no lost time , for until I begin to get revenue ( which must hi > within six months ) , I will , of course , have to llvu off my capital. Please an swer IIH soon IIH possible , as I mean busi ness. Yours very truly , THOMAS JONR3. As my better half hns gone down town to look over the latest bargain counters and select a new. nutnicg grater , and the chil dren arc all engaged In making mud plow lor Sunday , I will take my typewriter on my lap long enough to r.nnwer my friend's letter and give him something to think over before laying In a supply of hard coal for the \vlner. The chicken business , Mr. Jonrt , Is a good deal like the "wheel craze , " for when either one hits a fellow fair and square ho doubles up llko a pug dog's tall , and nothing but a dose of sulphur or stick of brlmatonc will bring htm to his senses In time for his meals. There are thousands of people today who have had their weather eye peeled or teeth punctured by venturing Into the chicken bus iness under the Impression that the business can bo managed without an experienced nurse , ami that any man that can net a hen can successfully manage n large poultry plant. MUST IIR MISTAKEN. My friend says he Is 20 years old and Is married , but I am at a loss to understand why ho did not say how many children ho had and what Sunday school they at tended. This Information In absolutely nec essary , not for publication , but as a guar antee of good faith and an honest count. Mr. Jones evidently makes a mistake when he says he Is In the shoo business , with Jfi.COO Invested , which nets him only $1,000 a year. If that Is all he can make each year from the amount ho has Invested , and In tti" tiXfl business , too , he should cither clr o the shop , give the shoes away _ jindiiave to Omaha , or else fall In business nTTir start over again. The shoe men In Onitfia , as a rule , can glva him a feu po/ntcrs about his business and still have enough left to keep open Saturday nights. KC prefers "outside work , " If ho can inakc aa much money as ho now docs. II ho will get a hustle on himself and gel here before the election Is over I might bo able to use my Influence and secure htm a position where ho would have all the "outside work" ho craves , and If ho reallj desired It , ho might be permitted to put his bed on the roof and sleep tlicro at night , which would give him a good chance to become better acquainted with our cli mate. One thing which I admire In my new-found friend Is that he Is honest enough to admit ho has been a "chicken crank" In a small way , which seldom occurs , even In Isolated cases. People who got the fever generally break out all over , as In cases of small pox and the seven-year Itch , and nothing short of a little bitter experience will afford re lief. lief.Tho The Kokomo gentleman says ho has { 5,000 Invested In the shoo business , which he can got out at any time. This , If nothing else , -would Indicate that ho was a very bhrowd business man , for not ono man In Omaha can make that statement and pull out even , even now or later In the winter. If Mr. Jones can do this In the shoes busi ness , and wo have It In black and white that he can , it Is moro than ho can do after ho Invests that amount In poultry , dead or alive , Ho wishes to know If ho tan make Jl,00 ( or moro a year , with this amount of capital and a fair amount of business ability. 1 honestly think ho could , provided ho bought wheat when It was worth at fiC centa per bushel and had the nerve to dispose of It when worth $ l.fi2 per bushel. I have heard of tnt-n who claimed In their circulars am ] catalogues to have moro than doubled their money la the poultry business the firs I year , but when I came to look them up ami wanted them to sign an affidavit to that ef fect they always flunked , 'admitting that they made their money by betting on the horse tnnt came In 11 rat In the race and thai they didn't know a Huff Cochin from a sea- BUll. DUPRNDS ON CIRCUMSTANCES. "Would you nilvlso mo to stay where 1 am ? " I certainly would , If you have a molher-ln-law and llko her better than you do your wlfo. If , on the other hand , you llko your wlfo best and your mother-in-law Insists on your staying whcro she can keep nn oyu on yon and see that you behave yourself , tell her " 1 don't think , " and secure tickets for Nebraska at once , being careful to purchase a Pullman ticket for yourself and a second-class ticket for your wlfo , the latter beln : ; the cheapest. "I can buy ten acres at the edge of town for a Jl.OOV ( lood ; that's cheaper than you can get It near Omaha , and as freight rates ore real low , you might purchase the ten acres In Kokomo and bring It out with you , marking on your bill of lading , "Jones pays the ficlght. " "My Idea has been to keep 1,000 hens of n laying variety , expecting them to net mo J800 a year. " This Is exactly what I ex pected when I had the fever , but I soon found that I had the hens on the wrong nests , and my calculations wcro all knocked In the head , numbered among the "has bcens , " aa It wcro. Mr. Jones can certainly find a market for all the broilers ho calculates to turn out each spring , as any of the packing houses In South Omaha could dispose of that num ber any day before breakfast aud still not have half enough to fill their orders. They would , no doubt , be ple.tsed to see .Mr. Jones locate In Omaha and assist tn lining a "long felt went , " but I am Inclined to think the gentleman from Kokomo uses a largo base-burner , when ho says ho calculates to turn out from COO to 1,000 broilers from "an Incubator and brooder house. " Ho thtnkH ono man and himself ought to bo able to do all the work. So they can jirovlllng the , work Is not hard and Is evenly divided up. U may bo well to slate that two iron are always better than ono at , a Job of thli kind , for when ono gets tired and wantu lo llo under n tree and take a nap. the othei ran keep the Illcs off. Mr. Jones wants to know whether I think his plan ls visionary or practical. That Mr. Jones , depends entirely on two things , If I was engaged In selling Incubators , poultry supplies , etc. , I'd say your plan was certainly practical , us I also would If I had a poultry farm I wanted to rent or give away , but If asked to embark In the business with > ou. letting my children watt for clothing until the returns came tn , I would unhesitatingly affirm that the schinnc w * "N , 0 , " and that you had rats In your garret , "Are my estimates too high , and have I got my Ideas lee largo ? " Your estimates 1 nre nbout right , tn fur us the llgures are ' concerned , but yon nrc on the wrong train for Omaha win-it you Imagine you can In- Ukt JK.OOO In thn ehlrken business and gut one-half of It back. You might he able to dn that In the shoo business , but you en n't du It In the poultry business , no mat ter whether you u o Inmibntors or rely upon the old hen. My advlru. may not be worth mur-li. but It v cn't spoil as long as you keep It around the lioiifc. "It $5.000 enough capital to buy place and nil" " That all depend * upon how much money you havo. If that Is the extent of your pile. It Is sulllcli'iit. hut If you can msnogo to borrow a few hundred from your innilicr-ln-lntv. you might as well let It all go at unco and not bo bothered walking the floor night after night asking your wife whcro tlio ( i.ircgorlc bottle Is and when the next train starts for Indiana. "Arc ten acres enough for what I want ? " That all depends upon what you want the land for. If for n poultry ranch , I would advlsu that you make It twenty and give your chickens and jour mother-in-law ilenty of range , hut If you simply want It for a crematory In which lo fry your chickens , less space would answer. COMFORTS * OF FARM LIFE. Now that I have answered your ques tions , Mr. Jones , would you object to my giving you what your inothtr-ln-law would call a "lecture ? " Did you ever stop to ; hlnk how you or your wife would like 11 v- ng on a farm , for you must understand that a chicken ranch cannot be successfully oper ated In a largo city. Some people , llko spring lambs , are built for farms , while others arc what might bo called "not mates. " Some people get the blues quicker than others ; they go Into things pell-mell , like a flock of sheep through a cyclone , and do not look upon but one side , which , It Is almost unnecessary lo say. Is the "other side. " Such men are apt to make n failure , no matter what the nature of the business may be. Some men are naturally lazy , shiftless and easily fall victims to that "tired feeling , " but , of course , there nre ex ceptions and you may or may not bo on the list. When a man leaves the city and moves Into the country he makes sacrifices , and many of them , tlcforo ho takes the slep ho Is not apt to stop and think that Ills new homo will deprive him of going to the theater , concerts , going on excur sions and a host of attractions peculiar tea a city. He must remain at home and his wlfo cannot gad about or go shopping every pleasant afternoon. His work Is liable to bo continued an hour or two after supper , and ho may have little time to read the paper or "attend lodge" before It Is tlmo to KO to bed. Probably the man" would enjoy the change , but what about the wife ? Shu might not be satisfied with her new asso ciates , living , perhaps , miles away. Many n man's chances have been spoiled by a discontented wlfo and vlco versa. A good wlfo will take an Interest In her husband's welfare and see that ho gets up and starts the kitchen flro In the morning as soon as the alarm clock begins to cackle , while again others have wives who will surprise the husband by getting up , cooking bicak'fast and hav Ing hot water for him to wash In , long be fore he ktlows the sun Is an hour high. A good wife always helps to make the home cheerful and attractive , and very few when keeping house for the first time omit the "God Bless Our Home" picture for the front room. After the first year It Is usu ally found stowed away some place In the garret. Some wives never allow a cloud to enter their home , being all sunshine and smiles , no matter If her shots do pinch a little and her next door neighbor has n bonnet which Is the living Image of the one she sent to Council Uluffs for. Llvlm ; tn the country has some advantages after all. There you can obtain fresh mlk ] , eggs , butter , cheese , fruit and vegetables of all kinds , and If your mother-in-law wants to show yon where you have made mistakes and how mean you have been to her loving and affecllonatc daughter , you can answer her back without your neighbor hearing what Is being said , for In the country he could hardly publish you In the papers thr next morning as a "brute before the world. ' It these advantages arc worth five thousam a year , then by all means pack up and move lo Nebraska. The country Is young am handsome , and we will all slop work Ion ? enough to give you a "western welcome. ' When your train starts send a postal card to CHRYRNNR HOIJ.

NEW YORK , Oct. 25. Henry Clews , hcnd of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co. , writes of the situation In Wall street : Huslness In the sccurlllcs market haa shown much strength of tone , during the past week , and prices hnvo made n net tdvance of 2 to 3 points ; but the upward icndency has been held In check by the sin- Btilarly uniform disposition In all brnnchc * of business to defer operations until the result of the election Is declared. In Wall street operations , this illfposltlon Is slrenglhencd by the still high rates of In- lerert on time loans , and by the unwlll- ngness of the banks to make advances until the vote of November 3 shows con clusively what arc to bo thc future con ditions. Indeed , this policy of resolute prudence among the banks explains much Df the iKJStponemont In thc mercantile liuslness at large. The period of post ponement Is. however , now very brief , and , when the relief docs come. Us effect will bo nil the more striking and Intlucntlal for not having been frittered nwny by over-speculative untlclpnllon. From such Information as Is accessible to the higher ranks of llnnnce , the defeat of free sliver nt the election Is regarded ns certain beyond question ; nnd while , for thu reasons nbovc alluded .to , this con clusion does not materially stimulate buyIng - Ing , yet It makes holders generally unwill ing to sell and keeps thc bears timid and cautious. There arc , however , Inlluonccs unconnected with polities which nrc really affecting prices favorably ; nmong which the most prominent arc the continued large Importations of gold , tuc extraordinary position of wheat , and thc firmness of our securities In London , In spite of thc severe pressure upon thc Hank of England nnd Iho uncnslnos on Iho Paris bourse. CONFIDENCE IN AMERICANS. It Is u very , remarkable expression of the growth of foreign confidence In our In vestments that , nt tho- very crisis of our dllllcultles , nnd while In London domesllc and foreign securities nnd uvcn consols are declining , Americans sleadlly ndvauco with the successive rises on our homo mar ket. There was n slight exception to this rule upon Thursday's advance In the Hank of England's rate of Intercut from 3 to 4 per cent ; but prices between London and New York were soon readjusted , wUhotlt any observable selling by the former to the latter. Thu arrangements of the week for Importing gold have carried the Influx , since thc beginning of the movement , up to $70.000.000. For the moment , thins Is n lull In the Import engagements , the consequence quence partly of this wet-it's largo opera tions having sharply thinned thc supply of bills , and partly of the fact that the rise In thc Hank of Kngluna rate calls for a. concession on sterling exchange , which , under this reduction In the- supply or bills. Is not promptly forthcoming. There Is. however , no abatement In the large exports of produce , and considerable for eign orders for sliver bullion arc being received , while Importers nre buying vir tually no bills , so that , In a few days , the rale of sterling may be expected to return to the point admitting of Imports of gold. LONDON IS UNEASY. London appears to be uneasy under the present stale of the foreign exchanges , nnd suggests lhat "something must , bt > dona to stop thc How of gold to the United Stales. " It Is nol , however , very easy lo sec what that "something' ' may be. If England nnd India and Australia , to say nothing of other countries mulcted with short crops , must continue to buy our wheat and maize , nnd If they have to pay 20 cents more for their wheat than the price of two months ago both of which seem to be Inevitable and If we continue the largo current contraction nf our Im ports which at present Is the actual drift - then Enoland tnny llnd her trade balance with thc United Stales In such n shape as to compel her to remit still further con- tlderablo amounts of gold to this country. Under ordinary circumstances , she might , In such a trnde situation as now exists , find relief In forcing a return of our se curities ; but thc Ilrltlsh holders of our Investments Just now aypear unusually un willing to part with them ; nnd ten day.1 * hcneo an event may bo expected to happen In this country that will cause an Impor tant elllux of our securities to London. Clearly , therefore. England Is likely to llnd further Important shipments of gold to this country Inevitable : and the "some thing" which she needs to" do must be done with sot to financial metropolis other than New York. Press opinion nt London shows some In- crednlllv about the eiillrr bona lld'-p of the $70,000CCO export of gold to the United States. It assumes that large sums have been Imported by Wall street houses nt n lora. In the hope of selling thc metal to hoarders nt a premium ; and hence the hope Is expressed that. Instead of more gold coming this wayr some of what we hnvo received may Peen be flowing back. These guesses will prove deceptive. SMALL IX3SS IN THE DEAL. Gold has been. In some comparatively unimportant amounts , Imported wllh Ihe hope nf Bellini ; It to a few timid persons disturbed by the political outlook ; but the Intervals have been few and very brief when , such operations have been made below - low the even par of exchange. It Is prob ably qulle safe to say that , of the large sum Imported , not over $2,000000 or $3,000 COO hns shown a loss to the Importer Irrespect ive of any premium on resales. Much u M the London financial press has had to say In criticism of our defective monetary stains and projects , It would not bo surprising If. In the event of a great election victory for money reform , the same critics would still llnd reasons for dlFsallsfactlnn , though of a different kind. I say nothing of the o&lnlons very freely expressed bv London financiers that. In the event of our escaping the silver nerll and making safe provision for our legal tender notes. American securities would be In extraordinary demand. That Is an opinion , which may or may not be Justf- lled by the event. Hut It Is moro than an opinion that already arrangements liave been concluded , contingent upon Vr. Me- Klnley's election by an ample majority , for London participating to very largo amounts In now American enterprises of great Im portance. Those best acquainted with the relations between our architects of great financial undertakings nnd these of Lon don nre thn men most sanguine about thn extent of thn financial revival which will naturally follow the rehabilitation of the American monetary system. Such an outcome - como would , of course , be n violent shock to the London penmen who assume the function of censors of finance. STOC1C IIRAKIS v7\.TT. TO .SCOIIK.

They hnvo attacked prac tically every stock dealt In. Not ono has gene tlown. Hallway earnings do not do orcase as they have predicted , and no other prophesied distress tins materialized. People who own stocks have declined to bo scared Into selling out , whllo rich men not lately figuring In thn recurltv markets have come. In openly as buyers. It resulted In a sharp advance In ovary conspicuous quarter. Most stress was laid by bear cam paigners upon the prospect of smashes from a tight money market. Hut money hns shown no new tightness. Covering the situation , both ns to the lean and .slock market nnd as to general trade conditions , nn authoritative state ment was made today bv J. Edward Sim mons , president of the New York clearing house. Ills wordn nrn Inspiring , Ho says : "At this period of the year our money market ordinarily H e.-uy.

The tin- precedent nil export dumand for American farm products , emphasized ns It Is by en gagements of frel'-ht room fur Into next spring , warrants Iho belief that the gold wu have so fur received Is but preliminary to further and blgcer gold shipments to come.

The wheat market got back Into the 60s today under setnl- demornllzntlon of holders , who wcro non plussed this morning nt finding Liverpool opening cables showing Ji decline of 2',5d In thc face of our ndvnnee yesterday. The market wns extremely nervous nil through thc cession , but with n steady downward tendency. About the only support given to prices wns by hohUrs of puts nnd the few lucky ones who stood short over night. December wheat at ono time showed a loss of < c from yesterday's close , but re covered ? ic near the end of nn advance at Paris ttjual to from 2o to 3c per bushel.

The advance In the bank rate hns not led to nn advance In outsldo Qiiolalloiis bccuusu there was nn a in pi o supply of avalhiolo funds.

Thit outward movement continues , being further stimu lated by the heavy and Increasing wheat shipments from Atlantlo and I'aclllc ports. Slocks of praln In droai Ilrltuln stand at an unusually low level , and the falluro of the ( Tops In India has cuuued actlvo pur chasing to replenish supplies. The surplus l being freely drawn up on advancing prices , and purchases of Kuro- i'ran goods being much restricted , thn re- mlttancu of iold ; Is the only method of u-dresslni ; the adverse balance.
