Wonderful Act Of Dog and Pom!
Chorus in Gentry Show.

The games of childhood have been ap-
propriated by the Gentry Brothers in
training their great troupes of animals
that will be In Washington next week
Among these childish pastimes Is the game
of leap frog. A dog and pony have
been taught to play leap frog. and so ac-
customed have they become to their little
act that they are quite willing workers,
especially when given applause.
The pony in this little outfit Is dwarf.
He is not a half-hand taller than his dog
playmate The dog, however, Is the larg-
est of his kind-the st. Bernard breed.
Working constantly in company has made
these animals especially fond Of each
other. Even out of work hours they are
together, and the dog has been known
to steal q bundle of hay and lug 1t off to
where his equine friend was tied.
OF all tricks ever taught animals by
the Gentry Brothers trainers this leap
frog was the hardest. 1t took weeks of
hard work to get the pony to jump over
the dog. When the pony started to make
Finally, when the trainer had about CIV
en- up his task, a ten-year-old boy solved
the problem.
"Why don't you blindfold them?" asked
the youngster. The plan was instantly
adopted, and in this manner the animals
were taught to jump over each other. To
see their trick now one would hardly real
ize that 1t took weeks to train the ami

STENCIL PIANO MAY Be BARRED

1.-The wide growth of the association
during the past year indicates that this
convention will be the largest ever held
by the organization. The objects of the
association are for the purpose of i'm
proving trade conditions, not only from
the standpoint of the dealer, but also for
the advantage of the piano-purchasing
public. -
"During the growth of the piano husii
ness many evils have developed detrf-s
mental to both buyer and seller, but the
association is rapidly correcting these evils
and placing the merchandising of pianos
on much higher plane than existed pre-
vious to the incorporation of the organ:

educate the piano-purchasing public 80
