gyp, THE DOG ADVERTISER, AND
HER METHODS OF BUSINESS.
How Till* Artlsle Appoara In I'ubllc KTcrj
Day—llcr Klnn llubils uimI Her I'Vjtymnt
CIifHretten—Au Interview with Her—A
illark Kye<l (lenln*.
Gyp is visiting Omaha.
Haven't tseen her'/ Don't know Gyp?
Nonsense! Six: may ba noticed any day
walking up and down Farnam street.
8he wears a red satin coat buttoned
rery lightly around her throat and a
toque to match it sets jauntily on her
head. The toque in trimmed with feath-
ers and flowers and a flaxen bans peeps
from , beneath its rim. Gyp has very
pretty brown eyes and they gaze through
glasses that are perched upon her little
nose. Gyp's deportment is very proper
except in one respect. She looks straight
ahead through her glasses and walks
with dignity.•and when people make re-
marks about her—as they generally do—
«he does not pay any attention-to them.
She just holds her cigarette iirmly in her
teeth and assumes an indilTerent air.
For Gyp smokes when she appears upon
the street—that is the only breach in her
otherwise faultless demeanor.
But then Gyp is only a dog—a little
brown spaniel; the wisest., brightest lit-
tle spaniel imaginable. Gyp is a dog
with a career bhe is an artiste in her
way, and, as ever) one knows, artistes
often iiuiulge in cigarettes. Only smok-
ing is regarded by Gyp in the light of an
accomplishment, which m ikes her valu-
able in her professional line.
Hfilt I .INK AND GET UP.
And what i.-. Gyp's professional line?
Advertising—that is what occupies all
ber working hours. There are big white
letters on lu r red satin coat, and the let-
ters tell people where to buy certain
things. Of course Gyp attracts more at-
tention than a dozen newspapers, and
every one who sees the little brown (log
trotting along the thoroughfares with her
flaxen bangs sewed securely into her red
satin toque, her glasses adjusted on her
nose and her cigarette in her mouth, is
sure to read the white letterx
' Gyp has been in the advertising busi-
ness a year. She would never have
thought of entering such a public life if
the idea had not been suggested to her
by the black-eyed boy who is her master.
They din a great many tricks together,
and when Gyp learned to smoke a ci.^ar
dealer back in GlevelanJ ol/ered to en-
gage her services. The dealer offered $10
a week, and Gyp ami her master signed a
contract, and her lirst engagement was
speedily begun, the boy acting as Gyp's,
manager. It was a success, and G\ p ap-
peared here in Omaha at the end of her
Season., She wore a blue costume then,
and the white letters on her coat, or
"habit," as her young manauer ck'.'.s t.
exhibited the virtues of a certai
of cigars.
Gyp is sometimes disappointed
weather, but she is very particular about
fulfilling her contract, which calls tor six
hours' walking every day—three hours
in the morning and three in the after-
noon. Shecoulines her promenades to
the principal streets, and she is often-
times annoyed by the crowds which
gather around her. But being very de-
mure and self possessed she refuses to
linger where she can overhear the re-
marks of passers by. Once or twice she
has been mortified by brusque commands
to "move on' Iroin policemen who did
not appear to recognize genius—even
when it was so well detined as in Gyp's
case.
SHE'S ONE OF THE 400.
Gyp is naturally haughty. She is very
promi of her satin habit and with true
feminine patience bears all the discom-
forts of line attire without a single whine
of impatience. Oftentimes the wind
blows her coat about her feet and her
flaxen bangs slip over her eyes. Besides
ber glasses pinch her nose and she be-
comes very tired of the cigarette. Vet
all artistes wllo appear in public and
calmly accept the homage of the multi-
tude suiter more or less, and w hy should
a dog be exempt from any of the draw-
backs that beset an actor's career?
Gyp does not notice other dogs and ab-
solutely refuses to make their acquaint-
ance. As a rule, her showy costume
amazes them and they stand and look at
her afar oil. now and then expressing
their canine astonishment in low, deep
growls, iky. Omaha's Bohemian dog—
lkv, who has associated with lawyers
until his ns-urance is tliedesp drof every
well behaved dog in the town—tried to
join Gyp in her daily promenade; but,
although Iky had copied many of the
manners and much of the address of cer-
tain lawyers in the Sdeely and Paxton
blocks. Iky was ignominiously snubbed.
1 iioreover. Gyp can talk. '
When she was asked aU>ut Omaha she
expressed the utmost coiilidence in its
future by removing her toque and bark-
ing half a dozen times in the most en-
thusiastic manner. She had no delinite
Opinion about the school bonds, but ap-
peared to have rather melancholy recol-
lections of her own education. She was
quite voluble when Lb. Miller's name
was mentioned. Dr. Miller had spoken
to Gyp on the street and said he thought
it was a shame for a poor dog to lie com-
pelled to wear glasses and smoke cigar-
• ettes all day long. But Gyp only sat up
with her fore feet crossed in a very
graceful manner, looked at him kindly
through her spectacles, and then moved
along down Sixleeutn street.—Omaha
World-Herald.
Aii Incident u( Trinity.
A curious incident occurred a few
Sundays ago r.t old Trinity. The actors
were two very well known and wealthy
society ladies. It was at a morning s i v-
io>, and the church was crowded. Dur-
ing the ?arly part of the service—the
psalter and responses—they had main-
tained an attitude of rapt devotion, with
profoundly, solemn faces and bowed
heads. The Te Deuiu v\is arranged to a
long and unusually elaboSce musical ac-
companiment, and these ladies had re-
mained seated. The lines, "Let us never
lie confounded," were sung with a nour-
ish and an operatic staccato which came
to a sudden and pronounced close. The
silence was heightened by the.loud burst
of harmony which had preceded; there
was no gradual dyi.' g awav, but a quick,
petrifying stop. And in the solemn hash
came the sound of a s.mall. Shrill, but
painfully clear voice, and the words:
"But, my dear, we fry ours in but-
ler."
Dr. Dix raised his hand in a quick
gesture of horror, an acolyte laughed
aloud, the faces of the congregation vari-
ously expressed amusement, chagrin and
anger, and amidst the commotion which
ensued the very charming Mrs. was
borne, faint and sick, from the church.—

Dick, the baby seal caught in the
brush near the salt works about two
months ago, has become a great pet and
general favorite. lie was set free about
two weeks since and immediately made
a wild break for deep water, into which
he disappeared in a twinkling. It was
thought he would surely join the wild
herd and never come back, but in less
than half an hour after his liberation he
came paddling up alongside the pier un-
der the fishermen's poles, poked his head
out of the water and began to cry and
beg most piteousJy for lish. And so
now every day. from curly, tfiurji .'Jrij|ul
sunset, he spends his time 'gainbfitlii/in
deep water around the pier, lie afford*
a fine chance to study .the animal's hab-
its in bis native element.
A few days since Dick went out with
the fishermen about four miles from
shore. When the boat stopped DicL
climbed in and sat down on the
scat to await developments. Soon a
small live lish was thrown overboard,
and Dick jumped in after it. captured
it and immediately climbed• in and re-
sumed his seat beside the fishermen
This was repeated many times during
the day. At about sundown DicL
swims out to the Steam tug Pelican,
climbs up on deck and sleeps there nil

The local press is puzzled over the case
of John J. O'Connor, which is certuinh
a most remarkable one. It was claimed
that he had died and that his body was
taken to. the morgue, where it w;n iden-
tified by his wife, who had him buried in
Calvary cemetery. A few days later it
was claimed that O'Connor was uJive.
that his wife had been mistaken, and
thai the man who was taken to the grave
was not that of her husband.
It now transpires that there is every
reason to believe that O'Connor was not
buried by proxy, but in his own proper
person, some time between the night of
Feb. lOand the afternoon of Wednesday.
O'Connor Was seen Saturday night and
stated most emphatically that the grave
in the cemetery is empty, and heexluh
ited a cut that had been made half way
across the abdomen, lie is of the opinion
that he was really buried and that his
body was taken up and conveyed to a
dissecting room while in a state of sus-
pended animation, and that when-the
first incision was made it caused a flow
of blood which restored him to conscious-
ness. lie slates that he went to a lodging
house Monday evening,and that he knew
nothing more until Wednesday night,
when he found himself seated on the
court house steps in a dazt d condition,
weak and sick.—St. Louis Letter.

I write the snow is falling, but up to now
there has been very little. This has made
tobogganing this year exceptionally dan-

bank of soft snow and quite another
against a frozen wall or over it on liard
ground. The lake "run" descends tin
