"MAKEs BETTER RAILROADS."
Western Writer Pays Tribute to
Railroad Maenate as suiIder-Up
of tho Country.

Mr.. Edward H. Hartman is on q
trip to Europe. Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
to Emperor William to chain down his
railroads and to other monarchs to
put their crowns and other valuables
in the safe at night. But Mr.. Harri-
man is going off on pleasure trip.
and so many mean things have been
said about him that it will not hurt
any to change the tune a moment
while he is out of the country and
not able to take any advantage of
the lapse from the cold attitude of Sc
verify that is usually used in men,
tioning the name of Hartman.
OF all the great railroad men de.
veloped in this generation, E. Fl. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says writer in the Hutchinson
(Kan.) Daily News. The head of
railroad company, under the rules of
the game, must work for mis- stock
holders. whether it is for the advan-
tage of politicians, shippers or con-
sumers. 1t is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
his care. Hartman is not only
tinancier, but he is a builder and an
operator Lucky is the town, city
or community that has a Hartman
road. He insists on a good roadbed,
level track. safe track and the con-
venience and comfort of the traveller
and the shipper The Hartman roads
are noted as the best in the coun-
try. When Hartman gets hold Of
one-horse or played-out track and
right of way he proceeds to put it in
first class condition. He does not
raise the rates of fares, although he
doubtless charges "a plenty" but he
insists that enough of the funds go
into real Improvements to make
railroad. And that is where he stands
ahead of a good many others and why
Harrimanism is not such bad thing
as some people have been led to think
He makes better railroads, and there
is more need for improvement that
way than there is in some others
which are being discussed. So far
as We can see, he believes in giving
every interest along his road fair
deal.
He is public benefactor from that
standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He is great man, and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who
looks upon him as the personitication
of the money power. seeking whom
it may devour. He is a strong man
in the financial world, but that should
not be against him, when the finan-
cial world is the object which most
of us want to reach. He is good
American and he spends his money
on American railroads, not on foreign
titles, race horses. old editions or
other bad habits. If he is not per-
fect-and we don't think he is-he is
no exception to the rule and is worthy
of the praise of his fellow citizens for
the good he does and has done.

-Iauahter ! Series of sarks.

Laughing is barking, say the sci
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while series OF short
barks are emitted from the throat
However musical the barks may be,
they are barks. The laugh begins
with a sudden and violent contraction
of the muscles of the chest and alb
domen. But instead of opening to let
the air pass out of the lungs, the vocal
cords approach each other and hold it
back. But they are not strong enough
to exercise such opposition for mere
than an instant. and the air. which is
under pressure, promptly escapes. AS
it does so it makes the vocal cords vi
brate producing the bark
This obstruction and liberation of
the air expelled from the lungs repeats
itself again and again at intervals of a
quarter of a second There are thus
in a hearty laugh four barks a second,
and if continued. they go on at that
rate as long as the air reserve in the
lungs holds out. The empty lungs
must then fill themselves. and this in
terval is marked by quick gasp for
breath. after which the barks are re-
newed. The barks occur in series
with gasps for breath at intervals
When laughter is violent, the entire
body participates. The upper part of
the trunk bends and straightens itself
alternately or sways to right and left
The feet stamp on the floor, while the
hands are pressed upon the loins to
moderate the painful spasm.

so you don't think Mars would re.
ply, even if We did send signals?"
Il am almost convinced that there
would be no response" answered Prof
Thinktum, adjusting his glasses.
Then you don't believe that Mars
is inhabited?"
"On the contrary. I think it ex.
tremely probable that life similar to
our own exists on the sister planet
But you don't give those people
credit for intelligence equal to ours?'
Yes. ! am inclined to credit them
with even greater intelligence than
we display. There are many :ndica
tions that they have a civilization old
er than ours. in which case they
should have too much sense to fool
away their time on any such imprac.

1T Is a. m. when the SOW thistle

At 11:12 a. m. the SOW thistle

Jenkins-Well, sir. gave it to that

twice as big as 1 am. too. but l told
him exactly what l thought of his ras-
cally conduct right to his face. and
called him all the names in the die

Studds-And didn't he try to hit

.jenkins-No, sir. he didn't And
when he tried to answer back, just
hung up the telephone receiver and
