GENTRY BROS. DOC AND
PONEY SHON TOMORROW
Magnificent Street Parade Will Be
One of the Delightful Fea-
lures Of the Day.

Gentry Bros. more than make good
their promise that the grand street
parade would completely eclipse any
similar pageant ever seen here before.
Thousands of people of all ages view
the parade along the line of march,
and are delighted and amazed at the
gorgeous and glittering free spectacle
which must have cost the enterpris-
ing management many thousands OF
dollars. The gilded wagons with their
three magnificent military bands, the
gold chariots, the magnificent cages
animals, the beautiful and cute little
Shetland ponies, over two hundred in
number, with the gorgeous rappings,
the two herds of monster performing
elephants caparisoned in the gorgeous
barbaric splendor of crimson and gold,
the beautiful trained dogs marching
and riding along and plainly appre-
ciating the applause which greeted
them, the funny clown baby elephant,
the comical monkey jockeys mounted
on dogs and ponies, together with d
long array of talented and magnifi-
Gently costumed performers, will all
be combined to make the grandest pa
rade ever seen here, and one which
reaches a mile in length. When so
much grandeur is displayed in a free
spectacle it is safe to anticipate a
grander and greater show at the per-
Torrance, which takes place after
noon and night at and o'clock on
Friday, October 10.

Tho Ssnse Of Smell.

ut is the upper part Of the nose that
Smells" said a perfumer 1.-The lining
there is very sensitive and brown in
color. not red. as in the lower nose.
Men are more sensitive to odors than
women. Scientific tests have shown, |
believe. that, while many men can de-
tect the smell of prussic acid even
when there Is only one part Of the
acid to two million parts of water.
the average woman fails to detect the
smell if there are less than ten parts Of
the acid. Though the white man Is
much less sensitive to odors than the
savage. a prolonged stay in part Of
the world where smells are few puts a
very fine edge on the sense Of smell.
DR.. hansen has declared that when
returning from the ice world to Franz
Josef Land he knew when he was ap-
preaching the assistant he had left
there by smelling his scented soap long
before he saw him. He could, too,
when approaching the hut have given
an inventory Of the stores there. as he
smelled everything it contained sepa-

Sir Richard Newdigate, seventeenth
century Warwickshire squire, whose
papers were published some years ago
by one of his descendants, ruled his
servants by system Of fines. The
value at which he rated domestic

diary as: Nan Newton, for breaking

"a lawsuit in which women's clothes
are the center of litigation teaches
even woman many things she never
before suspected about the clothes she
wears" said a well dressed woman.
Last week l was present at trial
In which woman was attempting to
secure full insurance for gowns dam
aged by fire. In the expert testimony
1t was asserted no dress has a money
value in law after 1t has been worn
ten times. According to that theory
every gown owned by the plaintiff had
Outlived its usefulness before the fire

The Bitter Bitten,

A Philadelphia man went to dealer
to purchase Il dozen homing pigeons
and was both surprised and delighted
at the extremely low price asked for
the birds. The bargain was finally
concluded and the pigeons delivered.
Two weeks later the gentleman hap
pened TO be passing. when the dealer
stopped him and asked him how the
birds were getting on.
II don't know" replied the gentle
man. Il have not heard from my
friend
Your friend?"
Yes; bought them for n man in
san Francisco"
The dealers jaw fell in dismay, and
then, with Il rueful laugh, he admitted
that he had sold the birds so cheaply
because be knew that on being releas-
ed they would Immediately return to
their old home. But from San Fran
ciscol Ii was clear case of the bitter
being bitten.-St. Louis Globe Demo

ured them and by careful calculation
was able to discover that the Oldest
layers Of that ice probably dated back
to the years when Solomon was build
ing his temple. That temple, massive
as 1t was. has utterly persisted. and
men differ as to its exact site. But
that ice was still in existence when l
was in the polar seas. and 1t may be

ice, once immersed In a salt sea that
has constant temperature Of about
twenty-eight degrees, cannot very well
perish. 1t is in a sort. Of perpetual

DueIing.

1t is generally agreed that dueling
took its rise from the judicial combats
Of the Celtic nations. The first formal
duel In England was that between Will
liam Count of Eu and Godfrey Bay
nard about the year 1896. Dueling
was at its height in France about
1300s though 1t was pretty popular as
late as 1923. in which year Francis
]. sent challenge to Charles v. In
England dueling was checked In the
army in 1892. and gradually disappear
ed from civil life with the coming Of
more enlightened public opinion. Duel
ing was never as popular in this coun-
try as 1t was In Europe. but never
theless many famous duels have been
fought here. The code may be said
to have received its death sentence
when Burr killed Hamilton. The de-
cline after that was steady until 1t

Tho Three Pigs.

There were three pigs in poke.
The overcrowding was scandalous.
Each accounted for the evil In diff
ferent manner.
The first pig said, THE overcrowding
is terrible: it is because we are In II
poke"
The second pig said. This over.
crowding is disastrous; 1t Is because
we are pigs"
The third pig spoke as follows: THE
overcrowding is undoubtedly appalling.
but you are both mistaken as to the
conditions that have caused 1t. 1t is
not due to our being in a poke; neither
is it due to our being pigs. The evil

the third pig leader among them.
Still the overcrowding remained as
bad as ever.-Life.
