bezzling $500, the amount OF
judgment he had collected 1roIn Oldn

ed as the Womans attorney and filed
the divorce action against her Will.
These dispositions also will be used by
the Bar association in the disbarment

bach SO of the. amount collected from
Greenfield and that she agreed to let
him keep the balance for his services

cent of money, or that she had en-
tered into any such agreement.

the attorney. without his wife
knowledge, agreed to pay the costs OF
the action and not to appear at the

A bank account, even if the amount
on deposit is small, goes "a long way
to the favorable consideration of an APP
plication for probation by persons ac-
cused of felony. This was manifested
in the criminal court yesterday when
Judge Willis severely lectured William
McLahin, charged with forgery, be-
cause he could not show any financial
benefit after six years of almost steady
employment.
McLatin told the court he was %
years old and had worked for himself
since he was II, but had nothing to
show for it. He was placed on proba-
ton for three years. and in addition
to the usual provisions imposed, he

HORSE BEATS A TRAIN
Runs Ahead Of Express Down cente'
Of Track for Seven Miles-Leaps
to Safety.

Portland, Ore.-As the Spokane ex-
press was outbound few days ago.
a bay horse about 16 hands high and
a most beautiful specimen, according
to those who saw him. took fright at
the approaching train while feeding
in pasture alongside the track about
one mile this side of Fairview and.
starting down the track. ran for seven
miles at almost top speed down the
center OF the track in front Of the
train.
In that seven miles the horse
jumped 10 cattle guards and ran at a
good rate across a common railroad
bridge about 60 feet in length without
a slip. He was only scared OF the
track when the train entered Trout.
dale and when, at the call Of the
whistle of the locomotive, the station
agent there and employees Of nearby
livery stable cornered and caught hin
with lariat.
Most remarkable Of the whole thing
was the speed which the horse kept
up I'm the distance. The only time
that the train slowed down percepti'
bly, was at the bridge just outside OF
Troutdale, where II was feared the
horse might slip through the ties and
be caught. He skipped across the
ties like the most experienced tie
walker.

or all the great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation, Il. II. Har-
riman Is easily the biggest ard the
best. says a writer in the Hutchinson
(Kan) Daily News. The head of q
railroad company, under the rules of
the game, must work for his stock

tage OF politicians, shippers or con-
Rumers. II Is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
his care. Hartman is not only q
financier. but he is builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community that has 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 a
one-horse or played-out track and
right OF way he proceeds to put II 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 q

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 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 1t
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
IL does so 1t makes the vocal cords vi
brate producing the bark.
This obstruction and liberation Of
the cir expelled from the lungs repeats
itself again and again at intervals of
quarter of a second. There are thus
in a hearty laugh four barks q second,
and II 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
tciNai 10 mar heu ny quich gasp ior
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.

PHYSICIANS Mean Trick.

A doctor was one day stopped In the
streets by one of his woman patients
whose malady was purely imaginary.
The doctor, who was known for his
intolerance of and nonsympathy With
such inyalids, after listening some
what impatieptly to the woman's de-
tailed account of all her feelings and
symptoms, told her to shut her eyes
and put out her tongue. She prompt
ly did so. On opening her eyes in a
few seconds the doctor was nowhere
to be seen. and the woman awoke to
the fact that he had left her standing
by herself in a busy thoroughfare with
her eyes shut and her tongue hanging
out
