Of all the great railroud nun de veloped In this generation, E. 11. Har rlman Is e-BKily the biggest and the best, says a writer lo the Hutchinson (Kan.) Dally News. The bead of a railroad company, under the rul?s of the game, must work for his stock holders, whether It is for the advan tage of politicians, shippers or con sumers. It is his job to do the best he can for the interests entrusted to hie care. Harrlman Is not only a financier, but be Is a builder and an operator. Lucky is the town, city or community that has a Harrlman road. He Insists on a good roadbed, level track, safe track and the con: venlence and comfort of the traveler and the shipper. The Harrlman roods are noted as the best in the coun try. When Harrlman gets bold of a 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 funda go Into real Improvements to make a railroad. And tbat is w here he stands ahead of a good many others and why Harrlmanism is cot such bad thing as some people leave been led to thick. He makes belter railroads, and there is more need for Improvement that way than there ia in some others which are being discussed. So far as we can see, be believes la giving every interest along hi road a fair deal. He la a public benefactor from that standpoint. He uses hia power fairly. He la a great man, and as good or better than the ordinary citizen who looks upon him as the personification of the money power, seeking whom It may devour. He Is a strong man In the financial world, but that should Dot be against him, when. the finan cial world Is the object which most of us want to reach. He ia a good American and be spends his money on American railroads, sot on foreign titles, race horses, old editions or other bad habits. If be la cot per fect and we don't think he la 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. Laughter a Series of Barks. Tjiughtcg is barking, say the rl enllsu. The neck and bead 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 ab domen. Rut instead of opening to let the air pas's out of the lungs, the vocal cords approach each ether and hold it back. Hut they are not strong enough to exercise such opposition for more than an Instant, and the air, which I under pressure, promptly escapes. As It docs so it makes the vocal cords vi brate producing the bark. Thla obstruction and liberation of the air expelled from the lungs repeats Itse lf 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 niarkej by a tjulck gasp for breath, after which the barks are re new ed. The barks occur In series wf.h gaeps for breath at Intervals When laughter Is violent, the entire body participates The upper rart of the trunk bends and straightens Itself alternately r sways to right and left. The feet stamp on the fioeir. while the hands are prmned upon the loins to OKHleTHte the painful spasm. Interviewing the Professor.

His What's the best way to never Mttle a question Dis Go to law about It. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were uaed. In order to get the desired sUffaess, It is usually neces sary to use so much starch that tie beauty and fiaeness of the fabric Is bidden behind a pasta of varying thickne-ss, which not only destroys the spjiearance, but also affect the wear ing quality of the goods. This trou ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of iu great er strength than other crakes. Pleasant for Mr. Bennett. William S. llennett. a representa tive from New York cite, went to ad drvf-s a political men-ting in bis dis trict one might, when be was much younger than be is now. "The chairman." said Bennett, "was a very literal person. He looked at tlu gallery, where one woman waa sit ting, nd said: 'Lady and gentlemen, this Is a moot momentous campaign. There are grave Issues to be dis cussed. I-aler we will hear from our best speakers, but, for the preset.!, we will listen to Mr. Bennett'" Evening Things Up. There is much rivalry between Judges Rosalcky and O'Sullivan of the geueral sessions In New York and last week It looked as If O Sullivan had the laugh on bis rival for all time He bad a man before him wboe name waa Rosaisky, but who swore that he was an K-Uhuiau.

The Dead Beat Is Probably the Most Despised Creature That Walks the Earth. No man is w holly free from sin, but so many leaer evils are tolerated that a man should hesitate long before be coming a dead-beat. Criminals are de spised and abhor ed. but to the dead beat all that is coming, as weOl as the contempt of bis fellow men. There U something at once so mean and so lit tle in taking advantage of the confi dence which conies with friendship that the band of every man is turned against a dead-beat as soon as his reputation Is well established. The dead beat may fondly imagine be Is living easy and making money with out work, and, of course, be takes no account of the confidence he violates and the hardships be IcCicts on oth ers. But. that aside, be really bas a harder time than the man who la honest and fair. He is compelled to move a good deal and peace of mind he knows not. Like other types of croc ks, he doesn't prosper, and his ( finish Is more unpleasant than the be- glnciag. Atchison Git-be. i Says a Press Humorist. "Shakespeare, it is said, never re- pate'd."
