TO-BAY < SHORT STORY.] A Public Proposal. I By W. PETT RIDCE I (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.) I "Begin to wish now," said Miss Rickers, wistfully, "that we'd decided on Southend.' The three girls stood at the bow window of the Sea. View Boarding House, and looked out with depression on their countenance. They were fellow-clerks in a large office in Queen Victoria-street; Miss Minns, who was the eldest of the three (being, indeed, nearly nineteen) having reac In a society paper that these who have gone through the storm and stress of a London season should spend a holiday in some quiet retreat, had taken the management of affairs into her own hands, with the result that she had now to meet veiled reproaches from the other two. "I enjoyed myself one year," said Miss. Baines, the third girl, "at Margate." "Southend's a place where there's always something going on." remarked Miss Rickers, breathing on the window-pane and drawing there the face of a young man with a moustache. "Margate jetty," said Miss Baines, "is as lively as lively." "Parts of Southend are quiet," said Miss Rickers, taking up her part in the duet, "but you've onlr got to get down to where the niggers are playing-" "Look here, yon two," interrupted Miss Minns, with authority, "we're here now and we shall have to put up with it. After all, a quiet holiday will do us all good, and if it only leaves off raining-" "I don't believe." said Miss Rickers, tragi- cally, "that there's a fellow in the place." The proprietress opened the door of the drawing-room. In her arms she brought a small baby in a white frock and a large white flopping sun hat, his small face sun- browned where t'ue large hat had failed to protect. "I've brought our baby," said the matronly proprietress, in a breathless way, "for you ladles to look at; a.t least, he's not our baby, of course, he belongs to Miss Welby, only that it's not her baby, but her poor sister's." "She's a dear. ickle, iekle, baby dirl," said the three young women in unison, wagging their pretty heads at the infant in great delight. The infant frowned. "No she isn't," said the proprietress, "he's a boy." This fact only added to the i'ntere<rt of the Shrew young ladies from London. Each wanted to nurse him, and there seemed a likelihood cf the return of acerbity because of- this, until the proprietress suggested that each should take two minutes, which was accordingly done, and Miss Minns took the tiny boy in her arms whilst the other two timed her by their watches. "You haven't met Miss Welby yet," chat- tered the proprietress, genially, "but you shall. She's a tall, handsome lady who keeps herself very retired, and she's simply devoted '•art, bodj and soul to this sister's child. I see him, the artful young rascal, a-winkin' at me" "ü the mother dead?" asked the girl who was dancing the delighted baby. "Dead," replied the proprietress, "and buried." » A telegraph boy came along the Parade, and the baby was held up to watch his approach. The three girls, taking advantage of the baby's ignorance of official matters, assured him that the uniformed lad was the Postmaster-General; but the baby sneered slightly as an intimation that he was not to be imposed upon by the extravagant state- ments of mere women. The telegraph boy came up the steps of Sea View; half a minute later the servant brought in a telegram. "Another visitor!" cried the proprietress. triumphantly, as she read it. "And a gentle- man. too, this time." "Whats his name?" asked Miss Rickers, looking up from the small infant. "John something," replied the proprietress, "L-a-n-g—" The door opened and a tall young woman in mourning entered the room. "Miss Welby," called the proprietress, "your eyes are younger than mine. What do you make of this name?" "John Langhohne," sha read, steadily. But her hand trembled, and the flimsy slip fluttered to the ground. Miss Rickers gave up the plunging, suddenly excited baby to its annt. "Must have been a great trial to you when your sister died," remarked Miss Saines. "There weijs trials before that," she answered simply. "And you've lived hen since?" She nodded. "I should love to undress him," burst out Miss Rickera suddenly, "and help you to put him to bye-bye." "You shall," said Miss Welby. The three standing in the bow window chattered brightly about themselves and thair work in Queen Victoria-street, having by this time thoroughly recovered their good spirits. "You must let me act as guide," said the tall young woman. "To-morrow we'll get away to the west and picnic if you like." "ItH be jolly," said Miss Minns. Miss Minns, as manager, felt particularly glad at the brightened aspect of affairs "Perhaps we might ask this Mr. Langholme to come with us." "I do hope he's young," remarked Miss Bickers. "And good-looking," said Miss Baines, ad- justing the fringe on her forehead. "There was a Mr. LanghoLme who went oat to Africa and did great things there. Do jpou think it's possible, Miss Welby, that it's the same?" "I think," she said, bending over the baby, I "that it is quite possible." Indeed, when the new visitor arrived that ereming at Sea. View, just in time for dinner, this ajrticipai.ion proved to be correct. John Langholme, inrtrodomoed and seated between two of the short girls, confessed modeertly that he waa the John Langholme, that he had been to Africa; had. indeed? only arrived in FmrgJand the previous day. I "Miss Welby," said the proprietress, "let me tempt you with a little more of this jelly No? You're not making a mead this evening. If I were you 1 should go out for a run. on the Pelade; it'll freshen you up." "If Miss Welby will allow me," began the man from Africa, without looking at her. "We will all go out," replied Miss Welby, addressing the three girls. "She goes out very little," interposed the proprietress. "This little baby nephew of hers won't bear her out of his sight when he's awake." "Your sister's child?" he asked sharply. "Is ahe not here to take care of it?" "How can she," asked the proprietress, replying to this, "when she's been gone from this world these two months." The young woman, her exes full of tears, rose hastily. Langholme hurried to open the door for her. beg your pardon." he sjaid, very earnestly. "I am sorry." Miss Welby did mot make one of the party, fcnd the three short girls chattered to their eeeort as they walked up a.nd down the Parade. The three girls, on their return to their room, doaou^sed him between themselves frankly. All of them were fluttered by the interest given to their holiday by the arrival of the celebrated Mr. Langholme. In the afternoons Mir. Langholme would arrange some trip or some adventuresome sail; journeys which were always planned to include Miss Welby, but never did include Miss Welby, because she waa ever sending an excuse at the last. moment. A great thunderstorm came on the evening before the close of the London girls' holiday. Mr. Langholme had gone to the station to meet a parcel of reference books from town, &nd along the rain-swept parade they saw him presently, to their great concern, striding in the direction of Sea View. "Why didn't he wait at the station u'ntil it was over?" whispered Miss Minns. "He'l1 be wet through and through," declared Miss Baines. He's the kind of man," said Miss Rickers, definitely, that wants someone to look attM- him." It seemed once in an interval that the small baby upstairs was wailing, but Miss Welby being with him, the proprietress would not allow any of her three boarders to leave the bay window. The drenched tIgure of Langholme came near, and this also induced them, to stay. "Where is she?" he almost shouted, as the door opened and he entered the hall. You'll to change, sir," said the pro- prietress. "You 'aven't got a dry stitch on you. "Tel!1 me at once," he cried, where ie MaaTaj-ef Mr. Laimgiholme, sir," answered the pro- prietress, with mild surprise, I don't know a party of the name. Why didn't you take your macintosh?" Miss Welby! he said, excitedly, "Is she upstairs? If so, go to her at once. A thun- derstorm always unnerves her." The three girls found Welby in. a fainting fit across her bed; the small baby, screaming himself hoarse in a tearless manner. When she had revived the girls helped her very gently downstairs. In the drawing-room Lang ho. me paced up and down in an agitated manner. Margaret," he said, godnig forward, "let me help. I Tsnew the thunderstorm would distress you." John!" she whispered. The three girls stared a.t each other. I think, said Langholme, as he assisted her to the couch. "I think, Margaret, we ought to tell these good young ladies that we arenort the strangers to each other that they may well have assumed us to be." I will tell them," ahe said, laying a hand an his arm. Let me do so. Miss Mimls, you are oom- in-oh.ief. aren't you ?" "In a sense," replied Miss Minns, can- taonsiy, yes." Let me tell you them, Miss Minns, tibait boo in the very happiest time of my life I pBM AtiSumaU) enctssih. hk engaged to- tbe most obarmiTDg girl in the world." Her band touched his arm, this time re- provingly. "The most charming girl in the world. Because I wanted to travel, and because she declined to leave her married sifter mar- ried to a worthless scamp who had deserted, we quarrelled." I thought," she said, in a low voice, that perhaps all husbands were alike." My dear Margaret," he said, cheerfully, they are all different. And," he turned again to Miss Minus, we determined never to speak to each other again. Perhaps you know what lovers' quarrels are?" We have never really been engaged," confessed Miss Minns, not one of us." You will know," said Langholme, and then you will have sympathy for us. During all the time that I was in Africa I never forgot the dear girl, and when I returned to England I came to her at once. What I am going to say now I have wanted to say before, but she has given me no opportunity. I want her," his voice broke slightly, to let me help her to look after the little ohap upstairs." I think," she said, stroking his wrist affectionately, "that I must make one con- dition. Only one, dear?" "I shall want bridemaids," she said, "and I have no relatives now. I think I shall want three." Miss Welby," cried Miss Minns, falling on one knee and kissing her, you don't mean, you can't mean that you are going to ask three short girls like us to l>e- Unless you all consent," said Miss Welby, decidedly, I shall not become Mrs. Lang- holme." The three girls glanced at each other delightedly. Oh," said Miss Minns, kissing her again, you'll be Mrs. LanghoLme all right."
Passing Pleasantries. I
Passing Pleasantries. I "You look bad Jim. Have you been laid ¡ up?' "Well, rather. To-day's the first time I've been out of doors for three months." "What was t.be matter, old chap." "Nothin'; but the judge wouldn't believe it. "Excuse me, mum," said the fashionable lady s new Irish cook. but would you moind now if I had this address printed on me carrd?" "Why, not at all, Bridget," replied the fashionable mistress. "Of course, it is un- usual, but this is your home now, and if you have a card it is perfectly proper for you to put your address on it." "Thank ye, mum," paid Erin's brawny daughter. "An' I noticed ye had printed on yer carrds, mum, 'At home on Thursdays.' Would it be proper for me, mum, to have j printed on moine, 'Tuesdays cff'?" PROOF. The o-ra-lor was warming up to his subject. "I strongly object," he shouted, bringing his fist duwn with a resounding thump on the table, "I strongly object to the custom cf christening ships with champagne." A man in the audienco jumped to his feet. 1 don't," he said. "I think there's a temper- ance lesson in it." The temperance orator smiled the smile of the superior person. "How can that be?" he queried. "Well, directly after her first taste of wine the ship takes to water, and sticks to it ever after." And the audience said the interrupter light.

"Since Gone to Cardiff'
"Since Gone to Cardiff' UNFAITHFUL HUSBAND DIVORCED I I In the Divorce-court yesterday (before Sir John Bigham, a case was heard in which Mrs. Henrietta. Kate Pullin, residing at Bris- tol, sued for a divorce from Mr. William John Pullin, a house furnisher, who had resided at Kings-wood, Bristol, on the ground cf desertion and misconduct. The s-uit was undefended. Mr. Weatherly was counsel for the peti- tioner, wl-)o said that tihe marriage took place on the 17th of April, 1900. They lived happily until 1906, when her husband took to drink and neglected his business. They had one child. Her husband was not a.ble to support her and she got assistance from her mother. In 1904 her mother was going to the seaside and she went to take charge of her mother's house for the three weeks she was away. When she returned to her husband's h-ouse at Kingswood she found it closed, and on inquiry she discovered that her husband was living at Staple Hill. On going there she found her cra-dle was there, and that it was occupied by a child of the woman who kept the house. Her husband was unable to find a home for her, and she returned to her -nother. After that time she made inquiries for her husband, but could not find him. He' had not contributed to her support Bince 1904. Other evidence was given to show that the respondent had lived with another woman at a hous-e in Bristol, and that he had since gone to Cardiff. A decree nisi was granted.

For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES A little bath brick scraped on the hearth immediately after washing it will be effec- tual in removing any stains. When making jam or fruit tarts the paste under the jam should be lightly brushed with well-beaten white of an egg, and it will not taste heavy or sodden. Bunions may be checked in their early development by binding the joint with adhesive plaster and keeping it on as long as any uneasiness is felt. The bandage should be bound round the foot. An inflamed bunion should be poulticed, and large boots worn. Iodine (12 grains), lard, or spermaceti ointment Iz.; makes a capital ointment for bunions It should be rubbed on two or three times a day. Pickle for Immediate Use Equal quautities of sliced onions, cucumber, and sour apple, salt and cayenne to taste. To half a. pint of vinegar add one winagiass- ful each of sherry and soy.

ISociety Match Off
Society Match Off YtHINC COUPLE WHO WERE LOST The marriage arranged between Lady Margaret Sackville and Mr. Edmund Sellar will not take place. This announcement in yesterday's "Morning Post," appearing, as it doee, within a fort- night of the day fixed for the wedding, will cause surprise, for both parties are well known, even outside the ranks of high society (says the Daily Sketch.") A strikingly beautiful woman, with a pale complexion, dark hair, and dreamy e; Lady Margaret, the youngest of the three daughters of the Dowager Countess de la Warr, was, like her mother, perhaps even better known for her intellectual gifts than her beauty. She has written several volumes of prose and poetry. She is president of the newly-formed Poetry Recital Society. Mr. Edmund Sellar, who is the youngest son of the late Professor Sellar, is also afflicted Wltü a taste for writing, and recently published a novel which was favourably received by the critics. Such a similarity of tastes, it was thought when the engagement was announced, promised well for a happy union. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago Mr. Sellar and Lady Margaret had an exciting experience in the Mourne Mountains, losing their way in the darkness which overtook thsm as they were descending Slieve Donard. Anxious search parties set out, but the oouple manageu to reacu tlieir destination safely, though they were in a vern exhausted condi- tion, having wandered many miles out of their way. The news of the breaking of the engagement has come as a great surprise to a large circle of friends of both families, for Lady Margaret and her mother were already in Edinburgh preparing for the ceremony, which was to have taken place on the 28th inst.
I ENOUGH TO KILL EIGHT I
ENOUGH TO KILL EIGHT I A Woolwich mystery was yesterday inves- tigated by Mr. Justioe A. T. Lawrence and a jury. In August, 1903, Mr. Thomas Paterson, who has sailed all ove,r the seven seas in the capacity of a bo'sun," sent out for a. bottle of White's hope ale for supper. In bo'sun fashiou he put the neck of the bottle to his lips. If he had swallowed the one mouthful which he took he would, according to his statements yesterday in the court, have been a dead mam. As it was, he felt all on fire, dropped the bottle, and began to kick." Subsequent analysis showed that the remla,ining contenits included 46 gra,ins of zinc chloride, sufficient to kill eight bo'suns. He became very ill indeed, and now claims dama,ges against Messrs. White. The latter's counsel, Mr. Rawlinson, K.C., declared that it was only by fraud tha.t the poison could have got in-to the bottle. Such a thing would have been impossible at the factory. The chloride of zinc must have been introduced by some- bod yaftar the bo'sun had had his drink. Under cross-exami nation the bo'sun's wife denied that she had told a neighbour that her husband had faked the bottle." The hearing was adjourned.
"OBLIGING CANNIBALS" I
"OBLIGING CANNIBALS" I Returning from a long tour in the Kaeai district of the Congo, on behalf of the British Museum authorities, Mr. E. Torday and Mr. W. Hilton-Simpson have only just reached Europe. They state that they never had the least difficulty with the natives who formed their expedition, although eighteen of their 25 porters were cannibals. Of these Mr. Hilton-Simpeon says that they are some of the best natives he has ever met-mild, obliging, honest, and industrious. As a juju or medicine," the explorers took out with them a small English clockwork elephant. In every village the exhibition of this elephant with its movable trunk and legs evoked the grèatest interest and surprise not unmixed with fear. All the inhabitants of the village would come out when they heard that the white,ulan was going to show them his medicine," but they were always careful never to go near the mysterious toy.
TAUGHT BY THE BIRDS - I
TAUGHT BY THE BIRDS I One of the most interesting feature of the "model engineer"exhibition at the Horticul- tural Hall, Westminster, which was opened yesterday, is the large number of aeroplane models ehown, over 50 being included in the exhibition. In addition, there are ail manner of other ingenious inventions, from steam and electric railways to electric clocks. Sir Hiram Maxim, who opened the exhibition, spoke of hi sown flying machine experiments. Scientists who had written on the subject discouraged any inventor in that line. but he had seen the birds flying. He had crossed the atlantic several times, and he had made a study of the birds, and was convinced that there was no doubt about it all that they did not exert any more force in flying, in pro- portion, than did a rabbit or a dog in running. After his numerous experiments he found that the only thing now to do was to substitute petrol for steam.
AN ELOPEMENT TRAGEDY I
AN ELOPEMENT TRAGEDY I An elopement has had a tragic sequel at Luck, Bohemia (says a Berlin telegram). An Austrian lieutenajit, married to the daughter of a professor at Tubingen University, re-joined his wife after the manoeuvres, talking with him a friend, an officer like him- s,alf. A few days aftorwaz-do the friend dia- appeared with the wife. Nothing was known as to the direction the runaways had taken. Two days ago, however, the hats of an officer and a woman were found on the surface of a pond a-t Luck. The pond was dragged, and the bodies of the runaway lovers were die- covered tied together b ythe officer's belt. Large sunns of money were found in the pockets. It is supposed that the couple. after their flight, discovered obstacles, and resolved to die together.
CARDIFF PANOPTICON I
CARDIFF PANOPTICON I Chief among a varied selection of bioscope pictures to be presented at Stoll's Panopticon, Cardiff, next week is a dramatic subject, entitled, The Tragic Idyll." The story is simple, that of plighted love, broken pro- mises, and the madness of a loving father; it is the scenery and colouring that will create an impression. Football Fever" strikes a novel vein, while other pictures which will causea.mument and excitement unolude The Sack Race," Bobby, the Boy Scout," 1776, or the Hessian Renegades," and An American Marriage." In addition to the pictures Mr. Sam Taylor will give entertaining turns, and songs will be contributed by Miss Maude Criddle (soprano) Miss Hetty Hocking supplying the musical accompaniments. Matinees are announced for Wednesday and Saturday.

There was no c.efence. The respondent, counsel said, treated his wife wdth violence. There as.aisttd him in his business one MargaTet Glover, who subse- quently was engag-ed at a private house at Knotty Ash, near Liverpool. In August last, Mrs. Peters was handed by the postman a. letteT addressed to her husband.

If you would like to see me once again cycle down this afternoon. I shall be at the Gen- tral Stba-tion a.t 2.30. If you thank anything cf me, come, it will be your last chance on this earth. I will end every- thing. I have written motiher to say I will never come hicme again. The girl's employer found in her bedroom other letters addressed by Mr. Paters to her which, counsel said, were too revolting to rea-d in court.

Mr. Hanne: But it may have been an invi. tation to a whist party. (Laughter.) Mr. de Grey: People do not walk about the streets d Batte-nsea with invitations to a wihi&t party. Mr. Hanne (to the constable): Why did you not get hold of the boy as well? Mr. de Grey: You know the story of a dog tlhat saw the shadow of a bone in the water. He went for the shadow and lost the sub- stance. (Laughter.) Mr. Hanne: In this instance there was no substance and no shadow.

CARDIFF tMPIRE I
CARDIFF tMPIRE I The well-known male impersonator, Miss Hetty King, appears at Cardiff Empire next week. In her very youthful days Miss King was chiefly a mimic of the leading artistes, such as Gus Eien, Eugene Stratton, Vesta Victoria, Marie Lloyd, and others. Perhaps the most curious thing is that formerly she played the part of principal girl in panto- mime, but since she has adopted the line of male impersonator she has invariably played principal boy. She is a young lady of athletic inclinations, and is very fond of cycling, fishing, golfing, swimming, and run- ning and jumping, too; in fact, a typical modern English girl; and, as a typical Eng- lish girl should be, full of health and spirits. The Grotesques, whose "Village Concert" and other burlesques have been so successful at the London Hippodrome, are featured on the bill, and are sure to be greatly appre- ciated for their refinement, cleverness, and mirth-making efforts. Other good turns include the Martine Brothers, the comedy trampoline acrobats who do 60 somersaults in 60 seconds; the famous jugglers, Francis and Alfred, in an act full of skill and humour; Tommy Clifford, the boy ventriloquist with a baritone voice; Billie Burford, comedienne; Bros. Redmond, the acrobatic comedians; Nellie Coleman, the female comedian; Thorpe and Ooe, in their comedy playlet, "lory Burglar"; Fred Elton, in a scena at the piano, On Board an Ocean Liner"; and the pictures.

. HAIRDRESSING BY ORDER
HAIRDRESSING BY ORDER A scene occurred in the streets of Willes- den on Thursday as the outcome of the "hair-cutting order" of tihe medical officer, Dr. Butler. The father of two schoolgirls, aged ten and seven, was served with an order to have their hair cut or properly dressed. No notice was taken of the order, and the school nurse called at the school to take the girls to the isolation hospital for treat- ment. On the way the girls commenced to kick and struggle. ilthe younger escaped, and the elder clung to some railings for twenty minutes before she could be got away. A large crowd watched the struggle.
STAGGERING -THE EXAMINERI

He asked one of the girls, testing her knowledge as to the work of the Creator, Who made your vile body?" The little mlaid was rather stia,ggered for ,tlbe moment, but at length she shyly con- fessed, Please, Sir, mother m.ade the body, but we got a. dressmaker to make the skirt." Then it was the examiner who was stag- gered.

A WRONG IMPRESSION I  "If I plead ?nilty, will the ?-gistrate bind me over? It is my &rst offence." This state- ?ment was attributed to John James Oorbett, a potman, charged a. ifow-street yesterday II with stealing a bag eoptaining jE22 in gold from the Nag's Head public-house, Covent Garden. MT. Curtig Bennett said some people seemed to think that the First Offenders' Act legalised theft. They believed that they could steal with impunity if, when found out, they could plead that it w,as their first offence. That was a great mi,s- take. The prisoner was sentenced. to three months' bard labour.

Officer's Eye Burnt Out
Officer's Eye Burnt Out HOW A WOMAN HAD HER REVENCE A notable vitriol case camebefore a French Assize Court yesterday. The victim was Lieut. Morisis, of the 36th Line Regiment, and the aggressor, Mme. Caroff, a divorced woman, wit.h whom the officer was on intimate terms. Mme. Caroff, after her husband obtainad a separation from heft felt lonely, and was attracted by an advertisement in the matri- monial columns of a newspaper. The adver- tiser desired to meet a lady with a view to Moriss. marriage, and though Mme Caroff, not at that time divorced, was not free to marry, she nevertheless replied to the advertisement. Subsequently she met the advertiser, Lieut Morris. The couple lived together for some time; then the officer, deeming that the idyll had lasted long enough, desired to end it, and intimated his wish to his companion. But the woman was averse from a separation. She became obsessed with a filing of revenge, and one morning, while the lieutenant was asleep, she (poured vitriol on his face. Ons of the man's eyes was burnt out and his face frightfully disfigured. Mme. Caroff pretended that she knew nothing until she saw the officer drying his face with the bedclothes. "I must have, suffered from a hallucination," she added, but the Court dissented from this view, and passed the minimum sentence of a year's imprisonment upon her. The lieutenant was awarded R400 damages.
I MENTOR O-FFA-SHION I
I MENTOR O-FFA-SHION I Writing in the "North American Review" on the Social Hefcmony of England, Mr. Sidney Whitman says that within t,he present geineTattion England may be said to be usurped and finally taken over the part of Mentor Cof Fashion, played almost uninter- ruptedly by France for nearly two hundred and fifty years,' He lpoo,ints out that English is being sipoken more a-nd more university on the Continent. Innumerable Englis)h v^.ords, prticularly those bering on the rela- tions of social life—such as garden-party ro.u,t,' 'ladyl:i'ke,l 'led,y',S man,' g.entùeanelll- like,' fair play,' fia,i.r,' iand 'unfair,' eitz., hove bevcmie Continental idioms." Again the culitiva/tion of sport on the Continent is an effective promoter of tihat deference to social England which is so marked a feature of our time, inasmuch as English methods are the ones invariably accepted and ima- tated. The slang of the EngllilSh racecourse bias become part and parcel of almost every Europe: in language, at least in the new, papers."
COVETED AMERICA CUP I
COVETED AMERICA CUP I Sir Thomas Lipton, who is still determined to lift the America Cup, sails for New York to-day by the Cedric. He will consult mem- bers of the New York Yacht Club, and, if possible, induct them to agree to acoept a challenge under the Universal rule, a rule which governs ever yyacht race in America, save that for the America Cup. Boats under this rule are of a seaworthy type, such as could stand the strain of crossing the At- lantic. "It is the ambition of my life to lift the America Cup," said Sir Thomas Lipton. "It has become my obsesssion. So much so, that if I fail to succeed during my lifetime there is a provision in my will setting aside I sufficient money, so that my trustees may continue my efforts to bring the blue riband of the yachting world back to these shores."
I.-BOXING. I I
BOXING. I Freddy Welsh in Plymouth I Freddy Welsh, of Cardiff, made a great impression at Plymouth on Friday night, when he boxed a three-round exhibition with Young Lippo, the well-known feather-weight of the West of England. Welsh was given a great reception when he entered the ring.. His style was somewhat different from that to which the Cosmopolitan Gymnasium audiences have been accustomed. It was of the close-in order. His tricks were very puzzling to the local lad. The picture of health and strength, Young Lippo stepped in to the attack, and side-stepped with the agility of a cat, whilst his lightning-like straight lefts and right counters were elec- trical in their effect. Of course, it was only exhibition work. No idea of the real skill of Welsh could be gathered from it. Lippo, too, never once used his terrible punch. All the same, Welsh's boxing appeared to be very effective. Welsh has a good ovinion of Young Lippo, and thinks he should be trained in London.

HF.AD COVERED WITH SORES.
HF.AD COVERED WITH SORES. Doctors Marvel at a Great Zam-Buk,Cure I The wonderful way Zam-Buk cured a child's ringworm brought unstinted praise from the hospital doctors who had the case in hand. Mrs. Thompson, of 157F1, Guinnees- buildinjgs, Vauxhall, London, S.E., gives us these interesting facts:- When my little girl was two years old., a dark-looking sore, the size of a penny, came on the crown of her head. The dootor told me it was ring-worm which Florrie had con- tracted from some other girl. JThe ring- worm spread all over Florrie's head, despite the doctor's treatment, which I carefully followed. Other ointments I also tried, but they were all powerless to chec-k the spread of the disease. I goft a,larmed and took Florrie to Sit. Thomas's Hospital. I was told there that the ringworm would take months to cure, and only then by the use of the X-rays. For twelve months I took Florrie <aily to the hospital, where she underwent the X-ray treatment for twenty minutes ewh day. This brought away the hair amd left a patch of scurf on every spot treated, until the child's head was completely bald. A thick coat.ing of scurf settled on the girl's scalp. This scurf obstinately refused to come away, though the hospital doctors tried all manner of treatments. As I was worrying about my little girl one day I Tememibered that my laite husband, who was a carpenter, had often spoken enthusiasti- cally about Zam-Buk, and had always car- Tied a box about with him, I, therefore, got some Zam-Buk, and smeared the balmi all over Florrie's scalp. "The scurf began to loosen and come away Se) noticeably that the doctors expressed great surprise at this sudden improvement in what they regarded as'a very obstinate case. I continued to use Zam-Buk, which completely removed the scurf and brought Florrie a clear and healthy scalp in a manner that astonished the hospital people. Florrie's hair grew again, and to-day she has a beauti- ful head of healthy, glossy hair, while her scalp is as sweet and clean as a babe's." Just tlhat same benefit Zam-Buk was to the Thompson family it may also be to yours. Nothing can resist the healing forces stored up in a ha-ndx box of Zam-Buk.

I By JOHN ROBERT,. I PROBLEM No. 2. I Our second problem presents an interest- played? ing study in bil- liard tactdcs, and the eo,rrect solu- tion demands a useful knowledge of both the rules and possibilities of the game. The onle ball is in haind, and, as the diag.ram. shows, the red ball is only just play. able, lying as it does so near the baulk line. The object white ball is, however, in- side the line and out of play. What is the correct stroke to play under these cir- cumstances and how should it be Solution ot Problem No. 1. Strike the me-iballl a/bove the centre with- out Slide a,nd play full on the red ball. Aim exactly as if you were attempting an ordi- nary "six shot" into the middle pocket. Then the red will kiss the white, making the oontac,t shown in iiagram and clear- ing a path for the on-coming cue-ball. Play the stroke with just enougih strength, to send the cue-ball into t-he pocket, and to keep the red ball o-ut of baulk. The oo-ntinuous line shows the run of the cue- ball, the circles indicate where the red kisses the object white, and the interjected line illustrates the movements of the object balls.

CROSS CANNONS.-.I
CROSS CANNONS. I By RISO LEVI (Copyright). I Marram 641 shows a position that, with variations which do not affect the stroke to be played, often occurs. The cannon off the white is quite a simple stroke, all that is necessary being plenty of strength with some screw, consequently this is the stroke that the ordinary player generally plays when he has this position. The after-position resulting from such a stroke is, however, always very uncertain, and will often be very bad indeed. A cannon off the cushion DIAGRAM 641—A cannon off the side cusafon oy means of a half-ball stroke without side. Red ball fin. from the side cushion and 4lin. from the top cushion. Oibject white 10in. from the side cushion and 40in. from the top cushion. Cue ball at or near the end of the D line. played without much pace is, however, very little if at all more difficult than a strong cannon off the white. With the object balls to the measurements given under the diagram the cannon off the red is a half. ball stroke without any side when the oue ,ball is spotted at the far end of the D line. The advantage of the slow stroke lies in the control that the player has over the object balls. Mr. Levi's articles appear efeiy Saturday in the "Evening Exprees." No. 1 of this series appeared on October 3. 1908.
