Tho soldiers nassed on and the review began,
but out the hills the Indian sentlnels sun
stood and between the marching whites and the
village were the long lines of braves still sus-
picous and still ready to give their lives for the
women and children in the heart of the valley
What a review was that on the snow-covered
South Dakota plains that January morning 10
years ago! Gen. Miles on his great black horse
watched the 5000 soldiers pass, soldiers that mad
stood the burden of battle and the hardships of
winters campaign and had checked one OF the
greatest Indian uprisings OF history.
The First infantry led by Col. Shafter who aft
erward was in command in front of Santiago was
there that day. Guy V. Henry, now lying in peace

black troopers, the buffalo soldiers of the Sioux.
Capt Allen w. Capron was there with. the battery

and X, having barely enough men left in the
ranks to form a platoon.
These two troops had borne the brunt of the
fighting at Wounded Knee month before when
80 men of the Seventh fell killed or wounded be-
fore the bullets of the Sioux. When the two
troops with their attenuated ranks rode by, the
reviewing general removed his cap, an honor 9th
erwise paid only to the colors of his country.
The column filed past, broke into regiments.
then into troops and companies, and the word of
dismissal was given. The Indian sentines on the
ridges. signaled the camp in the valley. In anoth-
er minute there stampede, but 1t only
that of the thousands of Sioux ponies turned
loose and eager to get back to their breakfast
of bunch grass on the prairies.
Two Strike, the Sioux, watched the review that
day. Old Two Strike was one or the warriors
who went out with following of braves on the
warpath the month previous. Two Strike wore
ghost shirt He was above such superstition,
even though he took no pains to urge his COM
rades to follow his shirtless example.
Two Strike was glad of the that had
brought war, for he hated the whites harder than
he hated anything on earth except the Pawnees,
the hereditary enemy of his people Two Strike
knew in his soul that the buffalo not coming
back the medicine men had declared. and that

LAUGHTER a Series Of Banks.

Laughing is barking, say the sci.
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while a series of short
banks are emitted from the throat
However musical the barks may be,
they are banks. The laugh begins
with 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 more
than an instant, and the air, which is
under pressure, promptly escapes. As
1t 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 second. There are thus
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 banks 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.

"MAKES BETTER RAILROADS"
Western Writer Pays Tribute to
Railroad Magnate as Buildsr-up
of the Country.

Mr.. Edward H. Hartman is on
trip to Europe. Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
announcement beyond an exhortation
to Emperor William to chain down his
railroads and to other monarchs to
put their crowns and other valuaDles
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. II, Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says writer in the Hutchinson
(Kan.) Daily News. The head of a
the game, must work for his 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 a
financier, but he is builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community that has a Hartman
road. He insists on 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 q
.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 a
railroad. And that is where he stands
ahead of 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 a 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 personificatio2
of the money power, seeking whom
1t may devour. He Is 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 a 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.

twice as big as am, too, but told
him exactly what thought of his ras-
cally conduct right to his face, and I

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

FOOTBALL CAUSED II DEATHS.
In Baseball Last Season There Were
EOrtY-TWO Deaths.

Forty-Two Deaths.
New York. Jan. 5.-In light of the
constant crusade that is being carried
on by some against the game of foot
ball on the ground that it is an ex-
| cessively dangerous sport it is interest
ing to compare the fatalities of football
with those of baseball. When the mat
ter is examined carefully it would be
admitted by the fair that there is not
occurred from the game of baseball
during the year 1905, while from the
game of football seventeen fatalities
happened. 1t must be taken into con-
sideration that the number participate
ing in football is less and also that the
season does not last as long.
OF the fatalities of baseball one man,
an unknown, was killed falling off a
telegraph pole trying to see the Chi
cago-New York game which decided
the National league pennant at the
Folio grounds on October 8. H. H. Nc
Bride, a fireman of New York, suffered
the same fate, thus making two men
killed on account of this great game.
Last seasons death list overshadows
that of any of the three preceding ones,
il being one less than the three
together.
The most peculiar accident may be
recorded to Donald Harper, lad 10
years old. His death took place at
Lima, Ohio, on September 2, when he
fell and broke his neck running after
at he was passing. Dennis Burns of
Philadelphia was passing lot where
a gang of boys were early in the
season, and a ball glanced off one of the
players bat and hit Burns on the head.
He died the next day.

HORSE SHOW LOST MONEY.
The Big Gotham Amusement Enter
prise May Discontinue.

New York, Jan. 5-H. H. HOLSTER,
treasurer of the National Horse Show
association declined to deny or affirm
a rumor that has been gazing ground
that the recent horse show in Madison
Square garden was the last to be held
under the auspices of the present
association. Mr.. HOLSTER said that
many of the Horse Show association
stockholders ahd made it plain that
they did not want to run the risk or
losing any money.
In view of the understanding at
the end of the last horse show that
the association had $250,000 in the
treasury, this statement by the treas
urer is taken to mean that the stock
holders feel that now would be an
suspicious time to get out. IT that
is the case the sentiment Of the asso-
citation has apparently changed since
the last show opened, for at the an
nual dinner Of the directors, pre-
ceding the opening. the statement
was made that the show would be
continued so long as there was a dol
lar in the treasury. 1t is generally
conceded that the stockholders have
lost money in the past two years.
If the National Horse Show asSo-
citation quits there is no doubt that
a number of wealthy horsemen who
have been conspicuous in the past
more as exhibitors than as horse
show promoters will form a new asso-
citation and conduct a show that will
be equal in every respect to the old
