RELIABLE KNOWLEDGE.
Human Experience the Foundation OF
All Science.

The growing compleXity of civil
lied life demands with each age
broader and more exact knowledge as
to the material surroundings and
greater precision in our recognition
of the invisible forces OF tendencies
about us. We are in the hands of the
fates, and the greater our activities
the more evident become these limit
ing conditions. The secret of power
with man is to know its limitations.
To this end we need constantly new
accessions Of truth as to the universe
and better definition of the truths
which are old. Such knowledge,
tested and placed in order, we call
science. Science is the gathered wis
dom Of the race. Only part of it can
be grasped by any one man. Each
must enter into the work of others.
Science is the flower of the altruism
of the ages, by which nothing that
lives "liveth for itself alone" The
recognition Of facts and laws is the
province of science. We only know
what lies about us from our own ex-
perience and that of others, this ex-
perience of others being translated
into terms of our own experience and
more or less perfectly blended with it.
We can find the meaning Of phenom-
ona only from our reasoning based on
these experiences. All knowledge we
can attain or hope to attain must, in
so far as it is knowledge at all, be
stated in terms of human experience.
The laws Of nature are not the prod
ucts of science. They are the human
glimpses Of that which is the claw be-
fore all time"
Thus human experience is the
foundation Of all knowledge. Even
innate ideas, if such ideas exist, are
derived in some way from knowledge
possessed by our ancestors, as innate
impulses to action are related to an
cestral needs for action.-David
Starr Jordan, in Appletons' Popular
Science Monthly.

TIE camel is the beast of great
strength and endurance. Nothing
hurts it until the proverbial last
straw" is added to its burden. The
human digestive system is very much
like camel. 1t is really astonishing
how much abuse il will stand. Some
times, however, something worse than
usual will be eaten, and will go
through the stomach into the bowels,
and there it will stick-that's constipa-
ton. Nine-tenths of all human sick
ness is due to constipation. Some of
simplest symptoms are coated tongue
aud foul breath, dizziness, heartburn,
hatulence, sallowness, distress after
eating, headaches and lassi!ude. A
little thing will cause constipation
and little thing will relieve it. DIR.

how Reporter lnnocenslY Seat the
So-Called Tape Game.

So-Called Tape Game.
A reporter wandered into the dan
gerous confines Of a tape joint with a
view to writing up thegamc, Hehad
several samoleons about his person
and more than several drinks under
his belt, and didn't care whether
school kept or not
There were four stocks on the
board, Skin en- "dead cinch, "
fake and "bunco." The last named
was nearest to the door, and that fact,
together with the Appropriate ring Of
the name, caught the reporters fancy
and appealed to his speculative pro-
clivitics. So he walked up to The
ticket window and modestly ejocu-
lated.
"Gimme five shares bunco"
The clerk, who didn't like to see a
new customer blow himself in such
sudden fashion, remarked
"Bunco is 517, and has been stead
lily advancing for ten minutes"
The inference, plain to anybody
but a fool reporter, was that bunco
was due to go down, Immediately if
not sooner, with a dull, sickening
thud.
But the fool reporter felt too gay |
to take any sound advice, and re-
marked:
Gimme five shares bunco."
Seeing that the fresh guy insisted
on burning up his money, the clerk
took his fve-dollar bill and gave him
a ticket, certifying that the bearer
had purchased five shares in bunco
at 517, and that if the same should
touch SIC the bearer would be out in
the cold eating snowballs.
The reporter took the ticket,
pumped himself into a convenient
seat, and fell asleep.
Strange to say, Notwithstanding
the fact that everybody but the fool
reporter was playing bunco to go
down, bunco persisted in going up;
517, SIS, SO, $40, 521, 522, 523,
524, 525 were successfully recorded
on the tape, and still the reporter
slept. a half dozen men who were 5
onto his trade, tried to wake him, but
twas no use. lie appeared to be
drugged. +
"Bunco, j?6," said the ticker, and /
still the reporter slept
"Bunco, 521," was the next tick, e
and everybody went wild, but the fool
reporter only opened his eyes to look
dreamly at the board, and then re-
lapscd into a comatosc condition
"Bunco, 52Gr That woke the re-
porter like an electric shock, and
caused him to rush to the cashiers a

BROOKS AND REYNOLDS DIE.
PAID PENALTY FOR THE MURDER
OF MERCHANT HUNT.
SWUNG FROM DOUBLE GALLONO.
One Trembied mt Realization Of His Fate
while the Other Was Cool
and Collected.

Grady Reynolds and Bud Brooks
were hanged at Jacksonville, Ga. +,
Friday for the brutal murder of NJ. G..
Hunt, the Bolton merchant. The mon
died on the same scaffold. The drop
fell ut 1917 p. m. Brooks was dead
in Is minutes, but Reynolds was not
pronounced dead until three minutes
later.
The execution was private, but
among the few who witnessed il we're
the three brothers Of the murdered
man who had come from South Caro-
lima to see justice done. Both men
died game. Many expected to see
Brooks collapse, but he seemed to
have imbibed some OF his partners
courage, and did not break down.
The execution was in many respects
remarkable. The condemned men
rode a quarter of n mile to the gallows
amid great crowd,
Standing in the vehicle on the ont
side of the gallows enclosure both
made short speeches. They professed
regret for their deed, though making
only slight reference to it. The gist
oftheir talk was that they were pre-
pared to die, and they delivered many
n solemn warning to the crowd.
Brooks neck was broken but Rey-
nolds died of strangulation.
ROBBED In white.
Spotless white robes were placed
around each man as he stood on tho
trap and the black caps were fitted on
their heads. Thus CARRIED they pre-
sented a CHASTITY appearance. The
sheriff then asked if they were ready.
From under Reynolds mask came the
query:
"Are you ready, Bud?"
Brooks nodded.
I'm ready, too" added the man
who was giving his last moments 10
thoughts of his associate in life and
death The trap was then sprung.
Both whiterobed figures shot through.
Brooks body was nearly stiffened.
Reynolds seemed strangling, for his
body writhed and drew up for several
moments.
Both bodies were allowed to hang
thirty minutes. They were then cut
down and turned over to the relatives
of the dead men.
