The Murder of "GO-BetWeen"
HOW THE FAMOUS RACER STREET A JEAL


when the going was heavy--than he
could outspeed in fine, weather. But at
the apex of his career, by the most
spectacular running ever known in
the Suburban Handicap, he shamed
all prophets by beating the. picked
horses of the country on a perfectly
dry track. Then, in his old age, at
the time of sore need, he turned to
the tricks of his youth.
Throughout Pennsylvania, while he
was owned by Mr.. Shoemaker, and on
Western tracks, when he had become
the property of Albert w. Kline, Go
Between became a mud horse" of
distinction. Again! His long strides
over slippery tracks were model. For
several years at rural fairs he was
the show entry on rainy days. 1t was
the proves that he had shown before
his prime, that he had forgotten and
that had to be learned over again. 1t
was in this part of his career that Co
Between showed the gameness that
made him beloved where before he
had only been admired as q prodigy
He was better horse the day he died,
say his trainers, than he had been
three years before.
Volunteer groups or roush-and-
ready horsemen, many of them men
who had watched the racers career
from afar, searched Berks County,
Penn, until the man who killed CO.
Between WAS brought to justice. All
of which is remarkable considering
that dead horsefiesh has hitherto been
held to be-well, merely dead horse
flesh: and sentiment on the subject
has been left to the sex that estao-
fishes cat cemeteries and the Society
for the Suppression of the Practice Oh
Docking Horses Tails. Yet it can De

to avenge the killing of Go-Between
are men. And horsrnen, at that
Stackhouse's trial in December VIII

Go-Between, the Jockeys who rode
him and the trainers who watched his
glorious squirt into efficiency during
the latter years of his career, but by
scores of the strangers who witnessed
his tragic end-New York World.

Ancient Egyptians.

That the ancient Egyptians were not
negroes is certain, and it is equally
certain that they did not belong to the
Semitic or Jewish race. Said the late
Professor Huxley: Il am not aware
that there are any living people who
resemble them, except the Dravidian
tribes of central India and the Austria
lians, and / have long been inclined
to think that the latter are the lowest
and the Egyptians the highest MEM
bers of race of mankind of great
antiquity, distinct alike from Aryan
and Turanian on the one side and
from negro and negrite on the other"
In a word, nobody can say with any
degree of assurance what breed of
men the builders OF the pyramids
were.-New York American.
