EsAU AND HIS TRICKS.
They Are Performed by the Aid
of Hypnotic Suggestion.
what q Chicago Man of Science Has
Managed to Do with a Fox Ter
rier by Influencing the
Canine Mind.

A dog brought up by suggestion is
the novel pet of DR.. Herbert A. Parkyn,
of Chicago, who claims that of all ami
mails the dog comes nearest to the hui
man species in voluntary attention, and
he points with justifiable pride to his
own remarkable illustration of applied
hypnotism.
Esau is the name of this hypnotic
canine, so called, the doctor says, be-
cause she came first" He is a white
fox terrier, handsome and healthy, with
no abnormal conditions, is a year old,
and weighs less than 20pounds. His
Scriptural name is a source of amuse-
ment to visitors, and the doctor re-
lates some curious incidents connected
with it, one being this: Esau's first
care-taker was boy named Isaac. The
doctor owned a mocking bird called
Jacob, and the instructions given to
the boy sometimes took this form:
Isaac, be careful that Esau does not
eat Jacob"
The strange treatment of dog by
suggestion and hypnotic influence has
almost developed brain in the ami
NAL. While he performs readily all
the tricks of the best-trained dogs,
Esau has "a tricks Of suggestion which
no other dog has learned. He receives
Instructions through written paper
folded and laid on his nose. The sug-
gestion is that he shall at once scam
per upstairs to his own little bed, which
is a beruffied cot beside his masters,
and as soon as his nose receives the in
tclligence he rushes out of the room
and upstairs like wild thing, and
loses no time in scrambling into bed,
where he remains until his master sug-
gests 20 him to return, by the method
of absent treatment.
When Esau is ill-which is only
tradition of his puppy days-the doc
tor strokes him gently while he says
10 him in hypnotic voice: "You are
not suffering! You are better, you are
well now" and the dog has lost all
traces of indisposition, and it is as
we'll as ever.
How many people are in the room?"
is one of the questions propounded to

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
12-12-6t

Mr.. Harry Guenther Thrown From
His Buggy and Severely Injured.
This morning about 10 o'clock as
Mr.. Harry Gunther was driving in
buggy along NacogdOches street near
the circus his horse became frightened
and ran away, wrecking the buggy
and throwing Mr.. Gunther out and Sc
verely if not fatally injuring him.
When the buggy was turned over
Mr.. Gunther was thrown out with
such force as to fracture his skull, so
it is said, as well as bruise his hands,
face and body badly.
He was picked up by Police Officer
Diaz and carried to the police station
in hack where his wounds were
dressed, when he was taken in a hack,
vet unconscious to his boarding house
on Garden street.
He is the proprietor of the up-to-
date machine shops at the corner of
Presa and Villita streets, opposite the
electric light power plant and was out
on business when the accident Oc-
currred.
The horse is said to be Il very
spirited animal and easily frightened.
The horse became detached from the
buggy and ran along Nacogdoches
street, into Crockett street and Alamo
plaza, with the shafts dangling at it's
sides. The frightened animal dashed
tiercely along the sidewalks of the
plaza park. when it was bropght to a
sudden stop by James DOlan, who
caught the horse on a dead run at the
bride and hung to it. 1t was daring
act, for had he missed his hold he
would have been struck by the shafts
and probably seriously injured.

A Weird Sort of Hunting That BRING
Lots of Game.

Lots OF Uhme.
IF you want TO get coons and a whole
lot of 'em," said Roger Hayes, Erie
yardmaster at Greycourt, N. Y, to a
New York Sun reporter, lantern for
'em. Lantering for coons is the only
way to hunt 'em if you want to get a
whole lot. It's excitin', too. First,
tree your coons, and have the night
dark; the darker the better. Carry
a lighted lantern, and walk slowly in
circle round the tree. Pretty soon
you'll see balls of fire breaking out
here and there among the branches of
the tree. How many of these fire balls
you will see depends on how many
coons you have freed. These balls are
eoons' eyes, and they'll follow you all
around the tree as you walk. All you

TOOK TO HIS HEELS.

lave to do is to put bullet between
shot you'll extinguish a couple of those
big sparks every time you shoot, and
a fat coon will tumble to the ground.
''The first time | tried lanterning for
coons L was positively scared out of
the woods. My dog had freed a couple
Of coons, as l supposed, and / started
to make the circuit of the tree. First
one big pair of fire balls flared out of
the deep gloom of the tree, then an
other and another, until so many at last
blazed there, from the bottom limb to
the top, that I give you my word the
tree looked exactly as if it was on fire.
The sight was so weird and uncanny
that l took to my heels and never
stopped until was out of the woods.
There must have been a hupdred coons
in that tree IL there was one.
"Lanterning for coons is the only way
to get a whole lot of 'em. You want
to be particular, though, when you tree
your coons to tree 'em in tree they
live in when they are at home. If you
tree 'em in a strange tree they won't
stay there, but will come down, and
unless you have some one with you to
stand at the foot of the tree and club
'em back you won't get any coons. So
always be particular and tree your
coons in the tree they live in when
they're at home. Then they'll stay
freed. You might ask me how fellow
is going to know what particular tree
q coon lives in when he's at home, and
what he's going to do if he doesn't
know it. Well, in case of that kind,
maybe he had better hunt ground hogs.
Ground hogs don't tree"

did the button part company with the
top of the carriage. Instead, the whole
top was wrenched off the vehicle. The
carriage was differentiated by the
shock and Mrs. Grimshaw was thrown
out, being so severely injured that she
died in the house to which she was
aiken for treatment.
