DEER IN VILLAGE
Pretty Animal About the Streets on
Friday Evening

A deer some say buck and some
a doe while still others swear it was
only a fawn, visited several places
OF business on North, Gage, and
School streets Friday evening about
O'Clock The darkness accounts for
the difference in opinion concerning
its identity but all agree II was feet
and pretty.
A crowd of boys and the omnipres-
ent dog chased the animal for some
distance over fences and through
back yards One resident of North
street followed hot on the trail with
the traditional salt but was unable to
effect the charm. The frightened
animal finally reached County street,
disappeared in the woods at Hunts
grove and presumably made for the
tall timbers.

GIVE THEM MORE CORK LEGS
Congressman Foster Wants Uncle
Sam to Treat Veterans Better.

Washington, Dec 1S.-Martin d.
Foster, NJ. d.. who represents the
twentythird Illinois district in the
House, wants the government to be
more generous in furnishing cork
legs to veterans who have lost one
or two limbs.
Under the present law, which was
passed in 1870, Uncle Sam honors The
requisition of a soldier for one or
two cork legs, but second reQuistion
is not honored in any case. The Fos-
ter bill provides that soldiers Il ay
have one or two cork legs every three
years II they apply for them.

Laughter a Series Of earks.

Laughing is barking, say the sci
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while a series of short
barks are emitted from the throat
However musical the barks may be,
they are barks. The laugh begins
with sudden and violent contraction
OF the muscles of the chest and abb
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 second. There are thus
In hearty laugh four barks 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

hands are pressed upon the loins to

most equivalent to cancelling It alto
gether. There are at least ten
chances to one that the state OF the
atmosphere at that particular moment
will not be propitious for the difficult
and perhaps dangerous enterprise.
There is another regulation which II
not modified may initiate against the
success of the great aviation week
Contrary to custom at most sporting
meetings. II only one competitor starts
to seek to win the prize he wiz get
none. and II two start 1t is only the
first who will be rewarded, even IL
there are half dozen prizes at
tached to the event. as Is the case in
the long-distance competition. In no
case will the last man receive a prize,
even If being alone he is first with a
fly over" or second. or third. ETC.:
And 1t may happen that the pilot on,
starting will imagine he will be fol-
lowed by dozen others. He may
achieve a great feat by remaining in
the air very long time. beating all
records OF time. distance and altitude,
yet II a strong breeze should then
spring up and prevent the other avia-
tors from starting he would get moth
ing 1t Is. however, true that the
controlling committee is empowered
by the regulations to permit. II 1t
thinks flt. the simultaneous flight of
two or several machines.
Then there Is the Gordon Bennett
cup. which is the great international
event OF the week. though all the
other competitions are open to avia-
tors OF every country without excep-
ton. In this case there Is no restric-
ton concerning the payment of the
money prize Of $1,000 to the success
ful pilot. even II he should have a

OF all the II champions presenting
themselves. and Of only one being per-
mftted in the air at a time, the com.
petition would last at least five and
one-half hours, because It Is not ex-
cessive to allow half an hour for the
start and the flight Of 12k miles. 1t
is therefore probable that several
champions will be permitted to be in
the air at the same time. especially as
1t is extremely rare that there are

which the atmosphere is sufficiently

MAKES BETTER RAILROADS."
Western Writer Pays Tribute to
Railroad Magnate as 6uiiderUp
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 valuables
in the safe at night. But Mr.. Harri.
man Is going of on pleasure trip,
ana SO many mean things have been
said about him that it will not hurt
any to change the tune a moment

not able to take any advantage of

uoning the name of Hartman.
Or all the great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation, E. H. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says a writer in the Hutchinson
(kan) Daily News. The head OF a
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
his care. Hartman is not only
hnancier, but he is 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-
ven1ence 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 a 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 personilicatio1
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 flnan-
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
