Word Experience" Is One That is FIRE.
quently infused Even by
Writers Of Note.

The meaning and uses of the word
experience Is discussed in this man
ner by Archbishop Whately in his we'll
known work, Elements of Logic:
"This word (experience), in its strict
sense applies to what has occurred
within PERSONS own knowledge. FIX
perience In this sense, Of course, re-
lates to the past alone. Thus II Is
that man knows by experience what
sufferlngs he has undergone in some
disease; or, what height the tide reach
ed at certain time. and place.
"MOre frequently the word is used
to denote judgment which is derived
from experience in the primary sense,
by reasoning from that. in combina-
ton. Thus a man may assert, on the
ground Of experience, that the tide
may always be expected, under such
circumstances, to rise to such height.
Strictly speaking, this cannot he
known by experience. but is con
clusiOn derived from experience and
other data. 1t Is In this sense only
that experience can be applied to the
future, or, which comes to the same
thing, to any general fact"

In the first place, It was always as
serted, with emphasis and even with
acrimony, that he (Palmerston) was
not wing. Gladstone, who did not
much like whlggery, though he often
used wings, laid 1t down that ITO be q
wing man must be born whig,"
and believe that the doctrine is abso-
lutely sound. But Palmerston was
born and bred tory, and from 1907
to 1890 held Office In tory administra-
tons. The remaining IS years of his
life he spent, for the most part, in
wing administrations, but whig he
was not. The one thing In the world
which he loved .supremely was power,
and, as long us this was Sc
cured, he did not trouble himself much
about the political complexion of his
associates.-G. w. r. Russell

TENNESSEE FARMER FINDS OUT
WHY BIRDS AND SQUIRRELS
NEVER GET A VACATION.

A professor was visiting a prosper
Gus Tennessee farmer a short time
ago. They had just enjoyed one of
those dinners for which Tennessee is
famous and were having a smoke,
when the professor spoke up.
>"See that little fellow" said the pro-
fessor, pointing to a sparrow on top
of the horse rack. The bird was tug
ging at long hair caught there from
Betsy's tail.
Thrifty little builder" answered
the farmer.
"She certainly works out fine in
terror finish with that hair" the pro-
lessor agreed, "but l am wondering
about her thrift"
The farmer didn't answer, ba' CON
tinued with his own idea. "A little
later the squirrels will begin at dawn
and work all day putting away their
winter food-they are real examples
to folks"
That's true as far as they co." said
the professor. but that sparrow over
there will work just as hard to build
q nest next year. II he were really
thrifty he would put rain-proof over
his nest, and next year he would be
building houses to rent But he never
gets ahead. He would be doing the
same thing hundred years from now
II he lived that long.
ITS the same with the squirrel
works all summer putting away more
than he needs. The nuts rot, and he
starts all over again next summer.
If we had copied the squirrel, we'd
still be cave-dwellers"

What do you do with it," the pro-
lessor asks.
DO with It," repeated the farmer.
Il grind up years supply of flour,
put away enough to sow again and sell
the rest"
And what becomes Of the money ?"
pursued the professor. He knew there
was not better farm in the state than
this one nor more prosperous farmer.

family, some Of it is put by for upskeep

the professor was chuckling. You

S65,837.85 INHERI-
LANCE TAX JOHN
S. HYDE ESTATE

The state OF Maine VIII receive
collateral inheritance tax amounting
to sS5.s37s5 from the estate of John
s. Hyde. the Bath shipbuilder and the
son of Gen. Thomas W. Hyde. the
founder Of the Bath Iron Works
which has built a large number Of
ships for the federal government. il
was announced at the attorney gen.
erals Office Thursday. This is the
largest inheritance tax ever paid the
State.
The late John s. Hyde in his will
provided for certain small gifts TO his
personal servants and about $4,000
for charities. He provided a trust
fund Of $4,000. the income Of which
is 10 be paid to his brother. Edward
W. Hyde. during his life, and after
his death Is to be disposed of in ac-
cordance with the balance of the es-
tate. He gave his wife s179.40 out
right and his son S125.75o outright.
The balance of the estate amounting
to over $4,000 600 is placed in a trust
fund for the life of the widow and the
life Of the son. During the life OF the
widow. she will receive 50 per cent
of the income. and the son 40 per
cent After the death Of the widow.
the whole income is given TO the son
for his life. Upon the death of the
son. il is provided that all the prop
erty shall go 10 mis- Issue. II he has
any. but if not, il should be divided
among the heirs of John s Hyde's
father. The purpose of this provision
was undoubtedly to exclude any reia
tives of the wife and husband by a
different marriage or children Of the
wife by a different marriage from
ever inheriting John S. Hyde's prop
erty
II is impossible TO determine by
mathematics whether the SON of
John S. Hyde will die leaving issue
or not If he dies leaving children.
the tax will be two per cent under
the laws of this State. but if he dies
childless. and the property is divided
among the heirs of John s. Hyde's
father, the tax will be but Eve per
cent.
Under the statutes in this State
the attorney general has full power
TO compromise. All matters in deal
ing with this tax were left to the dis
