railroads and to other monarchs put their crowns and other valuables But Mr Harri-main the safe at night is going off on a 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 severity that is usually used In mentioning the name of Harrlman Of all the great railroad men developed In this generation1 E H 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 his stockholders whether it is for the advantage of politicians shippers or consumers It is his job to do the best he can for the interests entrusted to’ Harriman is not only a his care financier but he is a builder and an operator Lucky is the town city or community that has a Harrlman He Insists on a good roadbed road level track safe track and the convenience and comfort of the traveler and the shipper The Harriman roads 'arf noted as the best in the counWhen Harriman gets hold of a try or played-ou- t track and right of way he proceeds to put it in He does not first class condition 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 a good many others and why Harrimanism is not such a 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 So far which are being discussed as we can see he believes in giving every interest along his road a fair deal He is a public benefactor from that He uses his power fairly standpoint He is 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 He is a strong man in the financial world but that should not be against him when the financial world Is the object which most He is a good of us want to reach American and he spends his money on American railroads not on foreign or titles race horses old editions If he Is not perother bad habits fect — and we don’t think he is — he is no exception to the rule and is worthy of the prafse of his fellow citizens for the good he does and has done Laughter a Series of Barks Laughing is barking say the sciThe neck and head are entists thrown back while a series of short barks are emitted from the throat However musical the barks may be The laugh begins they are barks with a sudden and violent contraction of the muscles of the chest and abdomen But instead of opening to let the air pass out of the lungst 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 it does so It makes the vocal cords vibrate producing the bark This obstruction and liberation of the air expelled from the lungs repeats itself again and again at intervals of a There are thus quarter of a second in a hearty laugh four bark3 a second and if continued they go on at that rate as long as the air reserve in the The empty lungs lungs holds out must then fill themselves and this Interval Is marked by a quick gasp for breath after which the barks are renewed The barks occur in series with gasps for breath at intervals When laughter is violent the entire The upper part pf body participates 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 Interviewing the Professor "So you don’t think Mars would reply even If we did send signals?”-“am almost convinced that there would be no response” answered Prof Thlnktum adjusting his glasses "Then you don’t believe that Mars Is Inhabited?” "On the contrary I think It extremely 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?” I am Inclined to credit them "Yes with even greater intelligence than we display There are many Indications that they have a civilization older than ours In which case they should have too much sense to fool away their time on any such Impractical proposition” |
