Of course that doesn't matter, SO far as

A Peoria incident.

Inter Ocean: A member of the Peoria
Western League baseball team, who
bears the historic name Of John Knox,
had ben spending the evening with
friends, which in Peoria means, Of
course, that he had been spending the
evening in a Browning or an Ibsen cir
Gle. He reached his room at 10 p. NJ,
which is late in the night in Peoria At
ter reaching his room, which is in the
third story, he threw open the window
and sat out on the sill to get some
fresh air, strange circumstance as
most people in Peoria close their win
dows for this purpose, particularly
when the industries Of the town are in
full blast.
At any rate, Sin some manner un-
known to John Knox and every one
else" says the Peoria Star, che lost his
balance and fell out of the window
He must have been affected by the
Peoria outside fresh air. Midway be-
tween the first and second stories he
struck in his descent wooden plat
form.
!: This broke his fall, we are told, but
ihe went through it and landed on the
ground. Upon recovering himself he
found that nothing except his fall had
been broken. On the contrary he felt
better than when he sat on the window
isill. His mind was clearer, and as he
reasoned the thing out he became CON
WINGED that the fall had done him good.
/; Next day John Knox looking sur
pr1s1ngly well and feeling remarkably
cheerful, appeared on the diamond and
distinguished himself by making some
Exceptionally good plays
IT is the wonder of all aware of the
accident" says the Star, that he was
not killed or seriously injured But in
reality the wonder is that anybody
should wonder at anything that hap

MYSTERY OF JUSTICE.
Contradiction Between Morality and
Natures Mode Of Action.

Natures Mode Of Action.
Maurice Maeterlinck: Natures mode
OF action Is different from our own, but
i say it once more, we know nothing of
what her reason may be for acting in
that different manner; and we have no
right to Initiate what appear to us to be
cruel and Ubiquitous actions SO long as
we have no precise knowledge of the pro-
found and salutary reasons that may I'M
derlie them. What is the aim of nature?
across eternity? Where does conscience
begin, and is Its only form that which it
assumes in ourselves? At what point do
physical laws become moral laws? Is life
unintelligent? Have we sounded all the
depths of nature, and is it only in our
cerebro-spinal system that she becomes
mind? Finally, what is justice when
viewed from other heights? Is the inten-
ton necessarily at Its center, and can no
regions exist where intention no longer
shall count? We sh buid have to answer
these questions, and many others, before
we can decide whether nature is lust in
her dealings with masses whose va stness
corresponds with her own. She disposes
of a future, space whereof we have no
idea, wherein there exists, 1t may be. a
justice proportional to her duration. her
extent and her aim,s evenFa as our instinct
of justice Is proportfoned to the duration
and narrow circle of our own 1ife She
may for centuries commit a wrong that
she has centuries in which to repair. but
we. with our few days before us, lack the
quality to initiate what our eye cannot
embrace, understand or follow.
