Minneapolis 1oul....s: M. B. Scott, q veterinary surgeon 5f Fafita3.1t 5.

He was said to have made S10,000 out of the animal Dr. Scott's dog will race against either horse or a bicycle. and seems to enjoy 1t, though he evidently regards 1t as a very seri- ous matter. Gypsy. as the doctor calls him, can make very good time, and pr. Scott has speeded nm from a standing start to make quarter of a mile in forty-fye seconds, and the first eighth in twenty seconds. When he was teaching him to pace, Dr. Scott put small string hobbies on him In order to prevent him from breaking. Gypsy paced a little before the doctor bought him. though so little as to be of no consequence; but his new master thought he saw possibilities of the dog doing better, and began a course of careful and systematic training, until he obtained the present result. The dog is pure blooded St. Bernard and weighs 40 pounds, is three feet high, measures six feet from the tip of his bushy tail to the end of his handsome nose and Is about 4 years old. He races alone, without driver, aud be. sides being a very fine animal. is real curiosity.

Always Face the Engine.

From the Pittsbufg Bulletin: Ia hls prime the late Mr John Cook the great tourist agent, was a man of iron frame. But when years of railway travelling, which averaged annually some 10000 miles, produced certain alarming symptoms, he made dis covery that may be worth giving to the public. He found that the threat. ened trouble, something spinal, disap- pearea when he no longer sat with his back to the engine. He always there after faced it. and that the principle is sound will be borne out by others whom he advised to do the same. All who are called Hpen to do much rail- way travelling will be wise to st fac ing the horses

Half-Brothers Sentenced for Murder Are
Hanged in Jailyard at Fort Scott.
Fort SCOTT, Kan, Jan. 22.-Ed and
George Smith, alias Meeks, were hanged
in the county jailyard Saturday night
by mob. The men died "game," one
of them putting the moose around his
own neck. The men were half brothers.
They had been convicted of murder and
a short time ago were sentenced to life
imprisonment.
The immediate cause of the mob's
wrath was an effort to escape by the
prisoners. They sawed their way to
the Jail corridor and for half an hour
exchanged shots with the officers who
were besieging them. One officer was
wounded. The men were hanged to
two trees 80 feet apart. Amos Phillips
of Bates county, Missouri, who was con
victed of the same crime, was only
saved from the frenzied crowd by 6
desperate effort on the part of the sheriff
and his deputies. George Meeks went
to the tree to which he was hanged
smoking cigarette. His last words
were: cit takes nerve to live in this
world His brother started to make 6
confession, but the mob would not heal
him through.
Thousands of people today viewed the
bodies which still lie at the morgue, the
hands and legs shackled as they were
when the men were taken from theil
cells by the mob. The people have
Quoted down and it is not believed thai
there will be any further attempt te
