GENTRY'S DOG AND PONY SHOW.
The Finest Amuse ment Attraction of
this Character on Earth,

The Norfolk Ttrgintan-PtIot Of Tues
day pays the following high tribute
to the Gentry Dog and Pony Show
which will exhibit in Henderson to-
morrow friday afternoon;
The greatest dog and pony show on
earth opened here Yesterday at Baseball
Park and gave afternoon and evening
performances to a packed tent and de-
lighted audiences
Prof. Gentry might we'll change the
name to dog. pony. elephant and mon
key show, for he has the cream OF pro-
fesslOnal talent from each OF those species
III his big aggregation OF talented per-
formers
The intelligence that all these displayed
yesterday was marvellous and delighted
even the grown up children who Were
present. OF course everyone who has
children Went Yesterday or will go to-day.
and those who haven children will
borrow some to take along or 90 alone.
The monkeys did some excellent work on
the high trapeze, and also some skillful
riding. The ponies went through mill
tary evOlutiOns like veteran soldiers
The elephants did some fine work that
showed great training and the dogs,
little dogs and big dogs, We're present at
every stage OF the game, doing some
thing funny or something difficult and
unexpected. There are dogs there that
walk on their hind legs, dogs that walk
on their front legs, dogs that leap incred-
lble heights and distances, dogs that
waltz, dogs that turn somersaults and
dogs that talk lin the bow-wow Ian
guage). Theponies seem more numerous
than ever before
The fine program winds up with
burning house and thrilling rescue act,
i'll which dogs and monkeys are the act
ors. One OF the monkeys seems to par
ticularly enjoy changing the fire gong on
his truck, and all enter heartily into the
spirit OF the thing.
After the show was over yesterday
afternoon Prof. Gentry kindly invited
the children OF Norfolk to stay awhile
and ride on the elephants if they wished

New Book on Advertising.

The Advertisers Hand book just issued
by the Mahin Advertising Company Of
Chicago, it is safe to say, preseats more
information boiled down into 10 pages
than anything Of the kind ever before
published. 1t contains u classified list Of
all the important magazines and news
papers in the country. giving rates and
sworn statements of circulation. 1t also
gives tabulated statements of incomes,
covering all classes, and other statements
showing how this money is spent.
The Mahin Advertising Company is be
coming known as the 'FollOw up"
Agency, because Of the stress laid upon
the manner OF handling inquiries and its
remarkable growth, requiring i'll its sec
ond year 5000 square feet OF floor space
for offices, would seem to Indicate that it
is on The right track. This company has
been unusually successful in creating new
business, which fact secures for it the CO.
operation OF publishers-an exceedingly
important item in an enterprise OF this
kind and one which has perhaps con
trbuted largely to the companys sue
cess. At any rate, this agency has shown
that it knows how to push business for
other people by the manner in which it
has launched its own upon the public.

The Love of Two Girls.

There is a thrilling story of danger and
of lost love in the October number of The
Dslinedtor 1t is dated back in the ro-
mantle Acadian days by the master Of
Canadian fiction, Charles q. d. Roberts.
A wounded ensign beloved by two girls is
saved by both, solely because of the self
remuneration of one, who goes back to
die in order to delay his pursuers. 1t is q
skilliul piece OF heart anguish done into
words. The same number has a
picturesque Chinese article illustrated by
several genuine photographs OF Chinese
women; a rare thing in the present rush
OF Chinese literature. The Delineator
is quite up-todate in the eighty or more
sketches of present-day styles which are
shown in its pages. For thirty gears it
has been trusted by American women for
guidance in home dressmaking and home
management.

him
1t will be recalled that Messrs
Engle and Lund were located in Hen

four years ago, occupying the gallery
over Dorsey's drug store. Mr.. Lund
made many friends here at that time
who will learn Of his death with pain
full regret.
Deceased was q native of Denmark
and was 81 years old. He was a
lieutenant in the royal Danish army
and the commission won in the SER
vice Of his country was source of
pride to him although he did not pre-
fer to pursue military career.
Lieut.. Lund was a gentleman by
birth and training. he was well
educated and had travelled extensive
ly. Bright, witty, with genial
nature and sunny disposition, he was
delightful conversationalist and
agreeable companion. He was a
splendid fellow with a noble heart
and chivalrous nature and we
