The Chautauqua season at Pukekohe next year will be from January 14 to 20. A meeting of those interested will be held at Messrs. F. Perkins anil Co's store at 7.30 o'clock tonight. An American orator tells this story: A clever team driver boasted of the surcness of his aim with his whip lash, declaring lie would reach with iiis whip any object named. "See the ton of the left ear of that horse? I'll reach it." And he did. exactly. Next, there was a dry leaf in a hedge surrounded by green leaves. "I'll touch that/' he said, and again he whs successful. Then came the .stranger's turn. "Can you reach that hornet's nest'.'" he asked. "No, sir," answered the team driver. "I cannot that hornet's nest is not an object, it's an organisation!"
