Opinions of members of humane So

the lack of interest in such perform

The rodeo is to be held in cOnnec-

Officers of the division are more
concerned over injuries that might
happen to men taking part IN the

8 LUCKY DEUCES
IN ga. WORTH
$40 EACH
Last Lucky Two-spot Goes
Out to Bring Someone
So Profit.

Lucky 50 bill number B.74174SS9A
left the Texas State Bank and Trust
Company Monday.
Its destination was the pocket of
some lucky individual who needs $40.
1t was the last of its race-number
ten of a series of ten 50 bills which
the bank put into circulation with the
San Antonio Light, to help Uncle Sam
popularize the two-spot.
1t Joined five of its companions, all
lucky deuces, which are roaming
around in San Antonio, trying to find
their way back to the bank. Four of
its predecessors already have been re-
deemed and repose in the depths of
the big vault-to remain for some
time. For they won't be cashed a
second time.
Thus there are six two-spOts, worth
$40 each, which the Texas State bank
wants to redeem.
Added to these six. however, are
three which the Two-Spot Editor of
The San Antonio Light is DESTROYS Of
getting back into his possession. One
of them has been lost for more than
two weeks.
Which means that there is 800 in San
Antonio. enough TO buy new fall out
fit, which apparently nobody wants.
Just use little care in handling
So bills. Look at them closely, one
may be the lucky number.
Remember, the last lucky deuce
went out Monday. No more will be
put into circulation.
But the Two-Spot Editor on The
Light and the cashier of the Texas
State bank will cash those outstand-
ing-providing they bear the lucky
numbers.
Read The Light daily. 1t carries
the numbers.

That incident began trip which
/ have been told was entirely unique
in the history of equine travel. Tony
was accepted as a member Of the
ships company and became the play
thing for the ship. Passengers began
to crowd around his stall andshis ex-
ercise space, admiring him and study
ing his fine points. And, rather than
being made fretful by these .atten'
tions, Tony thrived on them. He loves
flattery and is perfectly aware when
he is the center of attraction, The
cynosure of all eyes," L might well
say, now that I've acquired my Euro
pean polish.
HAVE RUN OF SHIP
After that first experience with the
lifeboat it was impossible to keep
Tony confined in his quarters. Many
others Joined with the lad who first
asked me to bring Tony to the prom
enade deck, and the captain agreed to
let us have the run of the ship.
And so, the second day out, Tony,
apparently quite conscious of his i'm
portance, accompanied me on tour of
inspection. We went every place 1t
was possible to go, the only thing
stopping us from visiting even the
bridge being the impossibility OF
Tony's descending the narrow steep
stairway. l believe to this day he
could have gone up it.
KIDDIES FOLLOW
We were followed everywhere by all
the Riddles on board and by many Of
the grown ups as well. Their pleas
were so urgent that 1 finally got up
on Tony's back and rode him through
some of the saloons, and the passage
ways down the decks. We did not
venture into the library, parlor, smok-
ing room or dining saloon, as l was
fearful Tony's hoofs might injure fine
rugs and polished floors. But our
tour was complete enough and Tony
was happy and proud when he re-
turned to his stall.
