A MANS LAUGH NEVER CHANGES.
How the Fact Was illustrated by an In.
cident In Chicago.

SAucut IN ShiCSSos
If the Bertillicn system of identified
ton had photographic record Of the
laughs OF criminals it would probably
be as near perfect as an identification
system can be. The fact that man comes
into the world waiting has been regard
ed as sort Of prophecy of the truth
that as rule the sorrows of life out
number the joys when all the returns
are in, but an optimist might see an
opposite significance in the fact that a
mans laugh remains the same through
all the changing years. When the cares
of manhood succeed to the happy 20
lucky days Of boyhood, this laugh of his
may be called into use, as it were, very
little, but when it is put into operation
1t IS the same old laugh, and every boy
hood friend would know it instantly.
An old soldier who fought through
the war with Fred Hartwick, who drives
q mail collectors wagon on the North
Side, happened 10 be in Chicago for a
week not long since. He heard that Mr.
Hartwics was Oh its postmaster staff
and went to the federal building to find
him. He took his station at point past
which all the carriers filed TO report for
daty, ard IS Hartwick came along some
one pointed him out.
Without disclosing his own identity
the veteran approached and began ask
ing Hartwick if he remembered various
incidents III the history Of their rcri-
ment during the war. OF course he did
and very soon fell into conversation, Or
ganiZing kind Of campfire meeting
between themselves. One member of
the regiment was in business i'll New
Orleans, another was in bank down
in the state, several were farming, one
was the local manager for one of, the
big commercial agencies in one of the
large cities, and so on.
Several times Hartwick asked his old
companion ut arms his name, but tho
latter only smiled and went on with the
conversation. Finally, when it became
necessary for them TO separate. as Hart
wick was obliged to go ont on his run,
the man laughed outright as he said:
well. Fred, never thought you'd
forget me after what we went through
together"
"The minute he laughed, said Mr.
HartwiclS, in relating the incident, Il
knew just who he was and all about
him, but 1 hadn't seen him for 80 years,
and he had changed so l couldn't have
told him from Adam. His laugh had
grown older, too, of course. but it was
the same old laugh. Chicago Trib-

The Chicago Record heartily APP
proves of Gov. Altgeld's suggestion
that some of the rich men of the
state contribute to fund for aiding
needy students in the state univer-
sity at Champaign. 1t says:
There are many young men, and
some young women, who are de-
pendent on their own earnings to put
them through college. A little help
in the form of loan is often a great
assistance and distinctly increases
their chances Of success in after life.
loan funds have been estab-
lished in other colleges and have
proved OF benefit to deserving STU
dents who needed money to enable
them to complete their course Of
study. When the moneyis paid back.
as it is after the student gets out and
begins to earn, it is again loaned to
other students. The present propo-
sition affords the rich men of the
state an opportunity to put their
money to good use by aiding ambi-
.tious and energetic young men and
women.
There is another aspect of the
governors plan that is worthy of
notice. 1t is a request to public
spirited men to aid the work of
state university. 1t is common for
benevolent and philanthropic rich
men to give their money to private
or UNCONVENTIONAL colleges, leaving
the educational institutions of the
state dependent solely on the state
for support. THERE'S no good reason
why rich men should not be as lib
eral with public institutions as with
those established by private funds.
The ends of society would be served
just as much. and often more. by
gifts designed to supplement the APP
propriations made by the state FOR
educational purposes"

Why He Shook the Child.

A man riding i'll Broad street omni-
bus the other day, with a small child in
his arms. was the object Of many frowns
from the other passengers, because he
persisted in vigorously shaking the lit.
tie one Oh account of her crying. The
shakings he gave the child did not ap,
pear to have am effect except to make
her cry the harder. The women in the
bus glarcd at the man and said mear;
things about him to each other. The
men locked over the tops Of their papers
occasionally and swore inaudibly. The
father wore Il worried look, and the baby
continued to cry. Occasionally it would
stop, and its head would nod sleepi,y.
Then the father would shake the young
ster vigorously waking it up and start
ing its tears afresh.
Finally woman, who had been nerv
ously watching the unnatural father,
walked over and asked him why lie WAS
maltreating the youngster. why, "
said he. I've got to shake her TO keep
her awake. She swallowed some kind
Of a drug, and if she goes to sleep she II
die. - Just then the bus stopped at
Broad and Thompson, and the father
and child got off and entered the Oh l.
dren's hospital. -philadelrhia Record.

a RESIDENT of the state of Wash
ington tells the Washington Post
that horses are the most worthless
kind of property in the west. He
says: "You can hardly give them
away. a friend Of mine, who used
to bring ponies to the east, getting
from S25 to $50 apiece for them in
New York. Philadelphia and Wash
ington. told me not long since that
the business was completely played
ont. and that he could buy all the
ponies he wanted for s. a head. If
horseilesh were as much in use for
food in this country as in Europe,
the beef trust would meet with pref
~ lively competition about now"

CATERrILLARs are plaguing cities.
towns and villages all over the east
ern part of the country, stripping
the foliage from the shade trees
along the streets and making havoc
in the parks. New York and Brook
lyn have had fair share of the un-
pleasant pests. and the newspapers
Of many towns all the way from
Maine TO South Carolina complain
loudly of their number and destruc-
tiveness. 1t may be that the cater
pillars have invaded western regions
too, but. if so. they do not seem to
have assumed the proportion of n
plague. or else the newspapers don't
take note of such minor Affections.

Claims Only a short-Iiyed Fad,


the bearing of the bicycle in produce
ing depression in horses ana horse
industries, the Legal Adviser writes
as follows:
The horse industries are said to
be declining. The business OF livery
stable men is at low ebb. Horse
breeders declare that there is no
longer any profit in the production
OF those celebrated animals. Aud
the cause Of the decline is charged,
rightly or wrongly, to the phenome-
nal growth of the bicycle fad
There is, however. good cause for
belief that this fad, now in its peri
gree. will pass into more or less
permanent apogce. Its evolution
has been from a plaything for small
boys to a gaming apparatus fer
young men OF n sporting tendency.
It's popularity has grown in the ra-
ito of its employment in contests of
speed. The decline of this sporting
function OF the bicycle would assure
the bankruptcy of more than half
the bike factories in the world.
And nothing in the future is more
certain than its decline. For it is an
unnatural. undigniiied, unbecomipg
and ridiculous mode of locomotion.
Its popularity cannot long be perma-
pcnt. nor of long duration. Far more
detrimental to the horse industry will
be the coming automobile carriage
road vehicle which will carry its
own means of propulsion, whether
electricity, petroleum., steam, gaso-
line or some other motive power.
In recent trial test of such vehicles
between Paris and Bordeaux, dis
lance of 363 miles, no less than
sixty-six road vehicles propelled by
the power OF steam. petroleum or
electricity were entered in competi-
tion for prize of 5000 for the best
4-seat carriage, and q smaller sum
for the best 2-seat carriage. In all.
there were four prizes. The first
was won by the 4-seat vehicle of
the Peugeot-Freres brothers, driven
by petroleum motors. though the
best time was made by the 2-seat
carriage of Panbard & Lavassor,
which covered the distance from
Paris to Bordeaux in % hours and
30 minutes-about fifteen miles an
hour. This also was propelled by
the Daimler petroleum motor. The
same vehicle made the entire trip
from Paris to Bordeaux and return
| (126 miles) in 4S hours and SO minutes
an average rate of 14.9 miles an
hour. Many other vehicles also
made splendid time. We have seen
newspaper account of an American
automobile carriage, invented and
built in Springfield, Mass. for which
the inventor claims q speed of 16
miles an hour. ut the low cost OF only
l cent an hour. The motive power
of this carriage seems to be COM
bination OF electricity and gasoline,
so managed that an electric spark
brought in repeated contact with a
drop of gasoline, produces success
sion of slight explosions and rapid
expansion of air. The form of this
carriage is that of 4 common buggy
weighing 600 pounds.
The practicability of this Ameri-
can automobile carriage. as well as
that of the French vehicles on Amer
| lean roads, remains to be tested.
But that the automobile carriage is
coming. and that its arrival can not
be much longer delayed. is beyond
question"
