The mare is in bad shape from the
wound and Mr.. Miles would be justi-
fed in prosecuting the guilty parties
as such carelessness is not only mex

is in danger from people who are not

The chautauqua committee having
charge of the advertising matter has
recently distributed about 500 booster
buttons. Each button is numbered
and several pairs of them bear
duplicate numbers. Those who wear
these duplicate buttons and succeed
in finding the button bearing the
same number will be given a compli-
mentary season ticket. Neither the
committee nor the chautauqua COM

duplicated, so if you wish to secure a
free ticket you must compare your
button with the button worn by your
neighbor and both of you must report
together in person to the secretary.
So far no one has found his mate but
they are in circulation.
