A VERY CLEVER CANINE.
eyP, THE DOG ADVERTISER, AND
HER METHODS OF BUSINESS.

Day-IIer Fine Habits and Her Fragrant
BLACK Eyed Genius.
Gyp is visiting Omaha
Haven't seen her? Don't know Gyp?
Nonsensel She may be noticed any day
walking up and down Farnam street.
She wears red satin coat buttoned
very lightly around her throat and
toque to match it sets jauntily on her
head. The toque is trimmed with feath-
ers and flowers and flaxen bang 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 department Is very proper
except in one respect. She looks straight
ahead through ner glasses and walks
with dignity, and when people make re-
marks about her--as they generally do
she does not pay any attention to them.
She just holds her cigarette firmly in her
teeth and assumes an indifferent 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 dog--a little
brown spaniel; the wisest, brightest lit
tie spaniel imaginable. Gyp is dog
with a career. She is an artistic in her
way, and, as every one knows, artistes
often indulge in cigarettes. Only smok-
ing is regarded by Gyp In the light of an
accomplishment. which makes her valu-
able In her professional line.
HER LINE AND GET UP.
And what is Gyp's professional liner
Advertising is what occupies all
her working hours. There are big white
letters on her red satin coat, and the let
ters tell people where to buy certain
things. or course Gyp attracts more at
tention than q dozen newspapers, and
every one who sees the little brown dog
trotting along the thoroughfares with her
haxen 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 letters
Gyp has been In the advertising bust
ness year. She would never have
thought of entering such a public life il
the idea had not been suggested to her
by the black-eyed boy who Is her master
They did great many tricks together,
and when Gyp learned to smoke cigar
dealer back in Cleveland offered to en-
gage her services. The dealer offered $40
week, and Gyp and her master signed
contract, and her first engagement was
speedily begun, the boy acting as Gyp's
manager. 1t was success, and Gyp APP
peared here in Omaha at the end of her
season. She wore blue costume then,
and the white letters on her coat, or
"habit," as her young l.anager calls it,
exhibited the virtues of n certain brand
Of cigars.
Gyp is sometimes disappointed in the
weather, but she is very particular about
fulfilling her contract, whichcalls for six
hours walking every day-.thl..s -i'Ossis-
IN tl,c ssecsssi..ss and tiree in tho after
noon. She confines her promenades TO
the principal streets, and she is often
times annoyed by the crowds which
gather around her. But being very de-
mire and self possessed she refuses to
linger where she can overhear tho re-
marks of passers by. Once or twice she
has been mortified by brusque commands
to "move on from policemen who did
not appear to recognize genius-even
when it was SO well defined rs in Gyp's
case.
