SERIOUS CASE AT ABERAMAN MARRIED MAN SENTENCED FOR ASSAULTING A GIRL. At Aberdare Police-court yesterday (before Mr. T. Marchant Williams, stipendiary, and Messrs. T. C. Davies, E. George, E. W. Jones, and Dr. Evan Jones) Evan William Thomas, a married man, living at Aberaman, and James- Samuel, a young man about twenty years of age, residing at the same place, were charged with assaulting Mary Ann Thomas, a. girl just over sixteen years of age, on the 6th of May, 1902. It transpired that the defendant Thomas absconded immediately after the committal of the alleged offence, and was only arrested at Ferndale last week, when he was sent down to Swansea Gaol pending the police-court pro- ceedings. Samuel was let out on bail to appear after the arrest of Thomas. Mr. William Thomas defended. In the course of her evidence the prosecutrix deposed that in the month of May, 1902, she wa3 in the service of a lady, named Mrs. Davies, who lives at Cwmbach. Between nine and ten o'clock on the morning of the 6th of May, 1902, she was walking along the road from Cwmbach to Aberaman. She was carrying two jugs filled with milk. On approaching the bridge which crosses the river by the Plough Pit, Aberaman, she saw both the defendants inside-the fence. They allowed her to reach the other side of the bridge, after which Thomas appeared and stopped her, saying, "Give me some milk." She replied that the milk was not hers to give. Meanwhile Samuel had run up some- rubbish pits close by and shouted out to his friend, "There is no one coming." Thomas, seeing that the girl refused to give him any milk, threatened to throw her and the jugs into the river, and proceeded to take the jugs llrom her, which he placed on the ground, at he same time trying to push her down. In the course of the struggle the prosecutrix fell against the side of the bridge, and while she was thus placed, the defendant Thomas endeavoured to put her on the ground. She screamed, and presently a Mr. Bishop came up. She said that the men bad stopped her, and would not let her go on with the milk. At this stage the learned stipendiary inti- mated to Mr. Thomas that the charge would be reduced to one of common assault. Cross-examined by Mr. Thomas, the prose- cutrix said she stated that it was not her milk to give away. It was those words she addressed to the defendant when the latter stopped her. Mr. Bishop also gave evidence. Addressing the defendants, his Worship observed that they had narrowly escaped being sent to the quarter sessions, the proce- dure he would have adopted had it not been for Mr. Bishop's evidence The girl was a most respectable person, and had, doubtless, spoken the truth. The magistrates were, how- eveif, prepared to assume that it was a struggle, and decided to dismiss the charge against Samuel, while Thomas was sent to prison for six weeks. ="—————

-0 THE OTHER MAN. Who has not read or heard of half-a-dozen cases where a person lost his memory and did not regain it for months or perhaps not at all? Such cases have become so common that they no longer excite much comment. The case of William Dawson, however, occur- ring five or six years ago, offers features strange enough to interest everybody. Dawson was a young man of 23, holding a place as clerk in an insurance office in a Southern city. His parents were dead and he had no relatives in the city. On the first day of » certain July he was sent to Chicago to do some business for the firm, and was afterwards to go to Northern Michigan for a two-weeks' vacation. He reached Chicago, transacted a part of the business, and one afternoon went out to Lincoln's Park. While seated on a bench watching carriages and pedestrians he felt a strange feeling creeping over him. It was as if his whole body was going to sleep. He fought against it, but was soon helpless, and it was half-an-hour before it passed off. Then he stood up and walked about to find himself the other man." In other words, his identity was gone. He could not remem- ber ais name, his town, or anything connected with his past. He could not tell what city he vas in. It has been asserted by medical men that had he made his condition known and had prompt treatment he would have been him self again after a couple of days, but he became frightened over the situation, and started off on a run. By-and-bye he found himself in the country. He did not stop at any house or question any wayfarer, but to- wards night he fell in with a quartet of tramps. The fellows must have observed his mental condition, for they led him into a field, and assaulted and robbed him. They even stripped him of his clothes, and threw him the rags of one to cover his nakedness. When they left him he walked on to the first house, and started to tell his strange 8tory. It was not to be expected that anyone would credit it. In fact, it was calculated to arouse suspicion. He was detained at the house, and a constable was sent for, and later on he found himself in gaol as a vagabond and one who was up to some game. When arraigned before a. justice ot the peace he told his story, and was given a sentence of three months in the county gaol. It was three weeks after Dawson's dis- appearance that his employers began to learch for him. He was easily traced to Chicago, and his name was found on an hotel register, and his trunk was there, but the police could find no further trace. After several weeks it was returned as a case of murder and robbery, or an accidental death by falling off a wharf. The case was referred to in so many news- papers, and an advertisement was kept run- ning so long, that if Dawson was alive it seemed that he must have been found. Soon after he found himself in gaol he sought to interest the gaoler in his case. The man had never heard of such a thing, and he simply laughed at the idea. He was used to the queer stories told by prisoners to gain a point, and he treated Dawson's state- ments with disdain. When the prisoner was turned loose at the end of three months he was penniless and in rags, and knew not which way to turn. It may be said that he should have gone to some official or to a newspaper and told his story, but as a matter of fact he had begun to doubt if he had ever had any other name than that of Tripp, given him in gaol, and if he wasn't the professional tramp they all claimed him to be. Dawson took to the road as a tramp because he had no other recourse. He worked and begged and travelled, and six months went by. By that time he was in Iowa, and his mind was almost made up that he had been a tramp for years and years. He could re-call how the strange feeling came over him as he sat in a public park, and yet he was half convinced that it was all a dream. One day, as he was plodding along the highway, he was overtaken by a country doctor driving a gig. The doctor was a good- hearted man, named Andrews, and always had a dime for a hard-up man. It so hap- pened that he wanted a man to assist him in tearing down an old barn. and he offered the work to Dawson. It was accepted, and "the other man" had been hard at work for three days when something happened. The doctor overheard him quoting Shak- gpeare to himself, and at once became inte- rested. It did not take him long to nnd out that he had an educated tramp in his em- ploy, and, encouraged by his kind words, Dawson told him his strange story. The doctor knew that such things had been and could be. One of the most remarkable features in Dawson's case was that his mind had only been dulled to certain things. His memory was gone as to his identity and how he nad lived his yeajs, but he could read, write, cast up figures, and was otherwise in touch with the world. There was nothing new to astonish him. Again, he had suffered no sickness or had no mental worry, and nothing had come as a shock. He was never in better health or spirits than when the feeling began to creep over him. Andrews was, of course, interested in the case from a medical point of view. He hunted up back numbers of the newspapers, and Proved the man's identity. Dawson's home, education, and visit to Chicago were an given, and he received the information with much surprise. He could not remember to have heard of the name of the town where he had lived for years, of the people he had worked for, or of any journey to Chicago. In this situation of affairs he agreed that it would be best to stay with Dr. Andrews for a while and hope that his memory would return. No announcement was made that Dawson had been found. Neither the police nor his relatives were communicated with. He became an inmate of the doctor's family, and had nothing to do but read or walk about. Now and then the doctor took up a certain line of conversation calculated to strike the lost note, but did not push it too far. He sent a man to the Southern city and secured the names of many people and streets, and many happenings of a local character were jotted down, and these were casually referred to in the conversations. Now and then Dawson was surprised or startled, show- ing that certain names had an old familiar sound, but the doctor did not hurry him. Six weeks had passed when he was sent to the village in the gig to make some purchases. Upon his return the doctor met him at the gate, and Dawson accosted him with:- My dear sir, I find myself in an embar. raasing position. Will you kindly tell me if the owner of this gig lives hereabouts?" Yes; it is mine," answered the doctor. seeing at a glance that memory had returned to his patient. And how did I come by it?" "I loaned it to you." But I-I don't understand. When did I leave Chicago? How do I happen to have these clothes on? Why did I borrow your horse and gig?" Memory had returned to the man as he drove home from the village. There was no shock, no such feeling as had come to him when he lost it. He simply found himself wondering why he was driving a doctor's gig on the highway instead of transacting busi- ness in Chicago. The restoration was complete, and the other man returned to his own identity and took up his life again as William Dawson.

TRAMWAYS TO PENARTH. TAFF VALE RAILWAY TO RUN MOTOR-CARS. There will be ample travelling facilities between Cardiff and Penarth before long. In view of the projected construction of an electric tramway between Cardiff and Penarth the Taff Vale Railway Company are, we under- stand. preparing to run motor-cars between the ordinary trains, so as to give greater facilities to passengers. A specimen car has been already completed, and the company are only waiting for the engine in order to com- mence trials on the gradients which occur on the line, that from Cogan to Penarth, for instance, being one in forty. It tfiaa already been proved that the cost of running these cars is only 2Jd. to 2Jd. per mile, as against Is. 6d. per mile for an ordinary train. At the present time there are 52 trains per day each way between the Great Westtarn Station at Cardiff and Cogan. the Taff Vale running 26, and the Barry Company 25.

THE WRONGDOER, A Story from the Secrets of the Law Courts, By ALLEN UPWARD, BARRISTER-AT-LAW, ] Author of "The Queen Against Owen," "One of God's Dilemmas," Secrets of the Courts of Europe," &c., &c. v INTRODUCTION. Among the secrets of the Law Courts, j which never find their way into the public press, but which sometimes form the sub- ject of conversation among the old Benchers of the Inns of Court, when they gather in the Parliament Room of their Inn, after dinner, over their old bottles of port, which have lain in the ancient cellars of the Hall till the dust of a generation has settled upon them—among those tragic secreta, there can be few whose very existence has gone more un- suspected by the outside world than the story told for the first time in these pages. At the time when the petition was brought asking the Court, in the usual way, to pre- sume the death of Charles, Lord Charnworth, in order that his heir might enter into pos- session of the title and estates, there seemed nothing except the rank of the missing man to distinguish the case from others of the same kind. Indeed, the circumstances ap- peared to be of the simplest possible nature. The deceased peer (as the Court was asked to say) had been drowned while yachting on the coast, and the action was rendered neces- sary simply by the accident of the body's not having been recovered, and the consequent want of technical proof of death. The Court took this view, and presumed the death ac- cordingly, the petition being, of course, un- opposed. MYLITTA. This story is really the story of two men, each of whom had some cause to suspect the other of being a villain. And that being so, the story begins naturally with the inci- dent which caused suspicion first to enter into the mind of the first of thesg^two men, who was named Carslake Perowne. From his statement, as well as from that of the palmist, Mylitta, it is easy to gather that this happened on the occasion of the party at Lord Charnworth's house, in Corn- wall Gate, in honour of the nineteenth birth- day of his lordship's adopted daughter, the beautiful, imperious George Walden. FIRST PROCEEDINGS OF CARSLAKE PEROWNE. Carslake Perowne, Bachelor of Arts, of Balliol College, Oxford, sat by the window of a comfortably furnished schoolroom on the third floor of the house in Cornwall Gate, a few mornings after Miss Walden's birthday party. At a table covered with green baize, in the centre of the room, a slight, fair boy of twelve was labouring to construct a chart of the northern part of the African Contin- ent, with special reference to some recent changes of boundary, the result of what was termed in the language of diplomacy an armed intervention. Perowne was not a believer in palmistry. In his view the professors of the science were vulgar charlatans, who gathered the materials for what they called their delinea- tions from a study of the face, manner, and general appearance of the subject," and helped themselves out by artfully-put ques- tions. In his own case, for instance, it seemed to him that the woman who styled herself Mylitta had merely made a few shrewd guesses at his character, and added some loose and general predictions, so vaguely worded as to make her quite safe from contradiction in any event. With re- gard to one other person whose hand she had undertaken to read, namely, Lord Charn- worth, her task had been easier still, as of course she had ample opportunity to find out something about him before coming to the house. Perowne, therefore, was not disposed to attach the least importance to anything Mylitta. had said, while he regarded her curious break-down whilst examining Lord Charnworth's hand as a mere piece of stage- effect. And yet it was that very incident which had lain in his mind ever since, troubling it, like some foreign body intro- duced into the system, which refuses equally to be absorbed or expelled. What had arrested Perowne's attention in spite of himself, and continued to disturb him still, was not anything said or done by the professor of palmistry, but something in the demeanour of Lord Charnworth himself. The tutor settled himself in his arm-chair, with Maurice seated on his own chair in front of him, and began, after his usual fashion, by putting questions to find out what the boy knew already. Maurice's ideas about China were charac- teristic of his age and country, being chiefly imbibed from the Second Part of Robinson Crusoe, with some rather uncertain reminis- cences of General Gordon added. The tutor led him on gradually to the subject of the long struggle of the Western barbarians to force themselves, their commerce, and their religion upon the unfortunate followers of Confucius. Presently he put the question: Now, can you tell me the names of any of the Treaty Ports of China?" Pekin-a,nd Shanghai?" hazarded the boy. The first had been the scene of some of Robinson Crusoe's adventures, the second had been touched on in the works of a. more modern writer. Pekin is not a port, stupid," said the tutor, smiling. "Any other?" The boy hung his head for a moment, and then suggested Hongkong. That's a British possession. Come, think of some Chinese port that you have heard the name of very often within the last few months." A look of intelligence lit up the boy's face. "I know, of course! Hanking!" Perowne nodded. That's right. Now you see what you can tell me about Hanking?" Maurice took the question as part of the regular routine. This had always been Mr. Perowne's system with him, to begin by making him feel his personal connection with a subject. "I don't think I know anything about it, except that Uncle Charnworth used to live there." Hasn't he told you anything about it, then?" The boy shook his head. No, not that I remember. I never asked him." The tutor leant back in his chair and crossed his legs. A Chinese Treaty Port must be one of the most interesting places on the earth's surface, I should think," he observed, in the tone with which he usually began one of his little lectures. Maurice placed both elbows on the table, rested his chin on his hands, and prepared to listen. There you have the greatest contrasts in the world, the Far East meeting the Far West. The quaint Chinamen jostling in the streets with Eng- lishmen, Frenchmen, Russians, Germans, and every other nationality. The Japanese coming over from their archipelago; the Americans from the farther side of the Paci. fic; the wild Malay junks, creeping up the coast, from Borneo and Celebes and all those unknown, unexplored islands of the South. east. A most fascinating picture. Think of the strange vessels that put in and out, day after day. Pirates among them, possibly. There are still pirates in the Chinese seas. Fancy strolling along the quay of a. place like tha.t, and seeing the yellow-skinned, half- naked crews, fresh from the plunder of some merchant man in the Sunda Straits, with their bright, crooked kreeses tucked in their waistbelts, and their curious lateen sails furled against the bamboo masts. Ah, my boy, you and I little know what the life is. in a place like that. I expect your uncle could tell you some strange stories, if he liked." "I'll ask him!" Maurice interrupted with enthusiasm. And the lesson proceeded. That day, after lunch was over, as Carslake was rising from the table, Lord Charnworth stopped him. "Will you come into the library, Perowne," he said, speaking in his usual tone of voice, The tutor bowed and followed his employer. As, soon as they found themselves alone to- gether, Lord Charnworth dropped into a chair, and addressed his secretary: "I wished to say to you that I shall be glad if you will do nothing to encourage Maurice's curiosity on the subject of Han- king. Curiosity in any form is distasteful to me; and though I spent many years in China, as I believe you know, they were not alto- gether pleasant years, and I should like to be reminded of them as little as possible. You understand?" The secretary, who had remained standing, made a gesture of assent. Certainly, Lord Charnworth. Now that I know your wishes, of course, I shall endea- vour to respect them." "Thank you. That is all I wanted to say." Perowne gave another silent bow and left the room. But the calm, subdued expression his face had worn in Lord Charnworth's pre- sence, was exchanged for one of quiet exul- tation as soon as he had passed through the doorway. He had applied his test, and the test had had a decisive result. From that moment Carslake Perowne never doubted that there was some page in Lord Cham- worth's life which he feared to have read. This thrilling story will begin in the "Evening Express" to-day (Saturday), when a large instalment, with half-tone photo of the author will appear.

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION GOVERNMENT RETURNS FOR SOUTH WALES. A Government return containing statistics of proceedings under the Workmen's Compen- sation Acts of 1897 and 1900 and the Employers' Liability Act of 1280 shows that during the year 1902 no less than 1,807 cases of all kinds were taken to the court (compared with 1,918 in the previous year). Of these 1,200 were dealt with by the judges and the balance dealt with in other ways. In 801 cases the decision was in favour of the applicant. The statistics dealing with this district show that 104 cases were entered under the Workmen's Compensation Acts in the Mon- mouth County-court district, of which 30 were at Cardiff, 38 at Tredegar, and fifteen at New- port. Of these 39 were settled by the award of a lump sum, the total reaching £ 6,401. In nineteen cases weekly payments were awarded, the aggregate of which was JB14 3s. 9d. weekly. Under the same Acts memoranda were registered in 79 cases, of which 36 were settled by lump sums (making an aggregate of JB4,073 13s. Id.), and 42 by weekly payments (of which the total amounted to JE32 3s. 5d. weekly). Of these Tredegar took the largest number of cases-22 in lump sums and 30 in weekly payments—whilst Cardiff had only seventeen cases. The Glamorgan County-court district had 72 cases dealt with through the courts. In 27 cases lump sums were granted-a total of £4,294 10s. Id. The seven cases heard at Pontypridd gained judgments for £802 18s., whilst the same number of cases at Aberdare aad Mountain Ash gained £ 1.306. In the seven- teen weekly payment cases the amounts totalled JE13 10s. lid. per week. Memoranda were registered in 188 cases, of which 124 were at Pontypridd, 39 at Merthyr, and fifteen at Aberdare.

Fe ddechreuodd y Cymro, ond buan yr aeth i'r terfyn, a throdd i siarad yn Gym- raeg er gwaethaf pawb; a thrwy gyfrwng- wriaeth y Maer, yr hwn a lywyddai, tyng- wyd Mr. Devereux i gyfieithu; gadawyd Hughes i roddi ei dystiolaeth yn yr unig iaith yr oedd yn medru rhoddi datganiad i'w feddwl yn briodol; ac ni bu rhagor o ddadl na mwstwr yn nghylch yr iaith. Oni buasai am bresenoldeb y Maer, nid oes amheuaeth na buasai yno lawer o awgrymiadau cas yn cael eu taflu allan am y Cymro am ei fod yn ceisio gwneud ei oreu i wn^ud ei hunan yn ddealladwy a chadw at yVwirionedd. OND PAHAM HYN OLL? Ie, paham y gwna swyddogion ac ynadon a broffesant weinyddu cyfiawnder ddangos un gwrthwynebiad i Gymro siarad yn ei iaith ei hunan mewn lie mor bwysig a llys cyfreithiol? Os awyddfryd am wneud cyfiawnder sydd wrth wraidd eu gwrthwynebiad i Gymro dystio yn yr iaith fedr oreu, y maent yn gweithredu yn hollol gamsyniol ac yn groes i bob rheswm a synwyr cyffredin; os ofn tipyn rhagor o waith sydd arnynt, wel, fe ddylent roddi eu swyddi i fyny i eraill a fyddo'n baTod i bob dyn gael siarad yn ei iaith ei hunan. Yn wir, fe gamateir hyny i bawb yn ddirwgnach ond i'r Cymro; y mae tramorwyr yn cael pob chwareu teg a chyfieithwyr bob amser yn barod wrth law i droi eu tystiolaethau i'r Saesneg er budd y Saeson uniaith sy'n eistedd ar y fainc. Ond yn lie bynag y byddo y Cymro, druan, pa un ai yn ei wlad ei hunan neu dros derfynau Clawdd Offa, os gofvna gael rhoddi ei dystiolaeth yn Gym- raeg, grwgnechir, priodolir iddo amcanion drwg, ac, yn fynych iawn, gwrthodir ei gais. Yn yr Amwythig y dyad o r blaen, pan ofynodd dyn a gyhuddid o herwhela am ganiatad i siarad Cymraeg am na ddeallai air o Saesneg, fe'i hysbyswyd gan y cadeirydd y gallai gael cyCeithydd os talai iddo, pryd y gwyddai yn eithaf da mai creadur tlawd ydoedd heb ddimai yn ei logell, ac nad oedd yn gofyn ond am yr hyn a ganiateir i bob tramorwr yn ddi- wrthwynebiad. Dichon fod "cenhadwr, llys ynadol Caerdydd yn credu ei fod wedi rhoddi ergyd ardderchog wrth ddweyd y buasai'r Cymro Hughes yn deall yn eithaf da pe dywedasid wrtho yn Saesneg fod gwydriad o gwrw i'w gael groes i'r heol; ond y gwmonedd ydyw nad oedd yn cyffwrdd a'r cwestiwn o gwbl—dim ond datguddio ei anwybodaeth. Y mae'n anhawdd cael o hyd i Gymro yn yr oes hon, yn neillduol yn ardaloedd y gweithfeydd, heb fod yn deall rhyw ych- ydig o Saesneg ac heb fedru siarad ynddi am bethau cyffredin; ond peth hollol wahanol yw mynd i roddi tystiolaeth yn yr iaith hono a chael ei groesholi, efallai, gan ddedleuwr galluog. Pan mewn lie mor bwysig, fe ddylai pob dyn gael siarad yn yr iaith y mae'n meddwl ynddi, onide y mae'n agored i wneud cam ag ef ei hun ac a'r gwirionedd. Flynyddau'n ol, yn Mrawdlys Caernarfon, fe amlygodd tyst ei ddymuniad i gael rhoddi ei dystiolaeth yn Gymraeg, yr hyn a ganiatawyd ar unwaith gan yr Arglwydd Brif Farnwr Coleridge; a phan ddechreuodd un o'r bargyfreithwyr furmur ac awgrymu y gallai y tyst wneud yn burion yn Saesneg, dywedodd y Barnwr, "Na, gadawer iddo gael siarad yn ei iaith ei hunan. Fe fedraf fi siarad y Ffrancaeg, ond ni fuaswn yn dewis rhoddi fy nhystiolaeth ynddi mewn llys barn, ac, yn neillduol, cael fy nghroesholi gan ddadleuwr fel y chwi." Y canlyniad ydoedd mynd trwy'r achos er boddlon- rwydd i bawb, a gosod urddas ar y gyf- raith a'r llys. Y mae y dyn a hawlia gael tystiolaethu yn ei iaith ei hunan yn gosod filwaith mwy o urddas ar y Frawdlys neu'r fainc ynadol nag a wna barnwyr ac ynadon wrth ddangos gwrthwynebiad i hyny; a rhaid cyfrif ymddygiadau'r olaf i ragfarn yn erbyn ein cenedl neu anwybodaeth o 1 wir sefyllfa Cymru mewn perthynas i'w hiaith, yr hyn sy'n anesgusodol mewn dynion yn gweinyddu y gyfraith. EIN DYLEDSWYDD. Gan fod barnwyr ac ynadon Seisnig, er yn gwybod yn eithaf da am on cymeriad cenedlaethol a'n hymdrech i ymddyrchafu a diwyllio ein hunain; gwyddant am yr aberth ydym wedi ac yn wneud o blaid addysg a phobpeth arall sy'n tueddu i wneud ein Cymru anwyl y llecyn mwyaf moesol a chrefyddol ar wyneb daear Duw gwyddant fod ein gwerin yn ymddifyru yn y pethau hyny sy'n rhoddi mwyaf o an- rhydedd ar ddyn, gan dreulio ei horiau hamddenol i ganu a barddoni a llenydda ac mai ein gweithwyr yw asgwrn cefn pob symudiad daionus yn y wlad, yn addysgol, cymdeithasol, a chrefyddol; gan fod barn- wyr ac ynadon, meddaf, yn ngwyneb hyn oil, yn ddigon haerllug i briodoli i ni am- canion anheilwng pan yn gofyn am gael siarad ein hiaith ein hunain yn y llysoedd, ein dyledswydd amlwg ydyw mynd i'r Senedd a gofyn am iddi adfer y Gymraeg i lysoedd barnol Cymru.

Fe fu yn hanes Cymru-yn nechreu y ganrif ddiweddaf a bron hyd ei chanol—gyfnod nad oedd gan yr Ymneillduwr yr un gwr gradd- edig yn mhlith en holl weinidogion; dannodid hyny yn ami iddynt, a theflid i'w gwyneb y dylai pregethwyr fod y dos- barth mwyaf dysgedig yn y wlad; haerid nad oedd yn bosibl i neb, and rhai yn deall yr ieithoedd gwreiddiol, esbonio ya gywir adnodau y Beibl; ao, yn ami, fe dadleuid nad oedd ond "M.A."s a "B.A."s a "D.D."iod a hawl i bregethu.

Ac wrth bregethu un Sabbath, credodd un o'r hen bregeth- wyr cynorthwyol" fod yn bryd rhoddi taw ar rvw glebar felly, a gwnaeth hyny yn ei dduil naturiol a gwreiddiol ei hunan. Wedi cyfeirio at yr hyn a ddadleuid gan ddosbarth neillduol, sef, yr angenrheid- rwydd ar fod y pulpud yn cael ei lenwi a dynion dysgedig, cymerodd Pedr a Phaul fel esiamplau o bregethwyr.

(Banish Indigestion | IRON-OXI Fifty TARinHl Ona I No Dinner is Complete I Relish for food and power to digest it are essential to sound health, for only H by the digestion and assimilation of food, can the wear and tear of bodily tissue H bd replenished and life sustained. When digestion fails, as in dyspepsia or ■ indigestion, both body and brain are starved and the patient becomes languid ■ and weak, incapable of active, vigorous effort, or clear sustained thought. Head- H aches, loss of appetite, pains after eating, fulness at the chest, palpitation, anaemia and sleeplessness are but a few of the many disorders which have their origin in imperfect digestion and nutrition. The chief organs of digestion are H the stomach, the intestines and the liver, Without the I D lb Digestive Tonic I When from overwork, errors in diet, impure air, lack of physical exercise, ■■ general debility or any other cause these organs become impaired and unable to perform their functions perfectly the whole process of digestion and nutrition is ■■ retarded, and both body and mind are enfeebled, because the daily expenditure r'. of vital force exceeds the supply. Thirty drops of Mother Seigel's Syrup, taken |H daily after meals, makes food nourish you. It gives tone and vitality to the stomach, liver and intestines, thus ensuring the thorough digestion and assimilation of food. Compounded of fruits, roots and herbs, it is a digestive tonic of unequalled ■■ value, producing none of the evil after effects so commonly caused by so-called 18 pick-me-ups" and alcoholic stimulants. No better proof of its efficacy could be desired than the voluntary testimony of those who have tried it. Read the following extracts from letters recently received. The addresses are given so that the facts may be verified. |B &EIGELS IAN ma u m V SYRUP I Mrs. Mary Rogers, Fay Gate, Horsham, Sussex, writing on May 2nd, 1903, v says: "I have pleasure in telling you of the benefit I derived from your Seigel's H Syrup, when I was suffering from indigestion. My illness began with loss of appetite, and a general low and depressed feeling. I could not eat, and my strength failed rapidly. I suffered much from headaches, dizziness and nervous- ness, and though I consulted doctors and took quantities of medicine, I got no better until, on the recommendation of a friend, I tried Mother Seigel's Syrup. After taking a few doses I felt myself getting better. My appetite returned, I was again able to sleep soundly, and soon lost the drowsiness, headaches and dizziness and was as well as ever. I think Seigel's Syrup is a splendid medicine, and shall always recommend it." The Worlds Antidote I Gentlemen—Allow me to add my testimony to the remarkable efficacy of Mother Seigel's Syrup in the cure of indigestion and the many ailments which |H have their origin in a disordered stomach. At one time everything I ate, and especially the things that I most relished, seemed specially designed for my torture. After every meal the pain and discomfort in my body and sense of fulness and oppression at the chest were most distressing and wearisome. Coupled with this were constant retching, and the frequent vomiting of an acid fluid. It didn't much matter what or how little I ate, my stomach seemed utterly unequal to its task, and I suffered in consequence. Though I regulated my diet and tried all manner of medicines, I gained no permanent relief until I ^B had recourse to Mother Seigel's Syrup, and that went right to the root of the |H malady. In a very short time, under its influence, I could eat whatever was set |H before me, without fear of pain or distress, and felt brighter and more buoyant ^B than I had done for months, If by any chance, anything that I eat disagrees ^B with me a few doses of Seigel's Syrup invariably puts me right again. As a ^B digestive tonic I consider it has no equal.-Yours M sincerely, W. Nicholls, Whitehall Mansions, Archway §T Om Road, London, N. July 15th, 1903. Aff Indigestion. I

PENARTH FREE LIBRARY. GENEROUS GIFT BY LORD WINDSOR. We announced some months ago that Mr. Andrew Carnegie would make a grant of £4,000 towards the free library at Penarth, provided a site was secured which would not intrench in any way upon the penny rate. Mr. Sam Thomas (chairman of the free library committee) immediately communi- cated with Mr. Robert Forrest, D.L., agent to Lord Windsor, with the view of obtaining a site from his lordship. Mr. Forrest has now informed Mr. Thomas that, in order. put the committee in a position to accept Mr. Carnegie's gift, Lord Windsor is prepared to give to the town of Penarth a very valuable plot of land on the corner of Rectory-road and Stanwell-road. The position is central, and, therefore, easily accessible from all parts of the town. It is also of ample dimensions, and the people of Penarth are naturally pleased at this additional act of generosity on the part of Lord Windsor. A joint meeting of the free library committee and district council will be held this (Wednesday) evening to consider the preparation of plans, in order that the building shall be erected as soon as possible.

TALLEY AGRICULTURAL SHOW. The annual exhibition of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, and horticultural produce in con- nection with the Talley Agricultural Society was held in a field at the back of the Edwins- ford Arms Hotel, Talley, on Tuesday. Sir James Drummond, Bart. (the president), and Lady Drummond visited the show, but owing to the death of his friend, Mr. Gerwyn Jones, Pantglas, Sir James did not preside at the luncheon. The show, on the whole, was an exceedingly good one, and the exhibits reflected the greatest credit on the farmers of the parishes of Talley, Caio, and Llansawel, to whom the show was open. The black cattle made a very good exhibition, a few excellent specimens being shown in each class, and the coloured cattle were a really useful lot. Sir James Drummond took first in. the year- ling bull class with a grand animal by the Golden Grove sire. Both the heavy and light horses made creditable exhibitions, although the latter were hardly up to the standard of former years. The Rev. J. H. Lloyd (vicar), the chairman of the committee, presided at the luncheon.

'PITCHED A REGULAR FAIRY-TALE.' James Walsh was charged at Cardiff Police- court on Tuesday with sleeping in the doorway of No. 3, Carlisle-street, and not being under proper guardianship. The little boy was only 13. and he looked younger, and was very small—a gilded, gentle child, with trust- like faith in older people, still in the company of the fairies who had been his companions until now.-Superintendent Evans explained how the little boy had emerged from the charmed circles of fairyland. He told the inspector for the prevention of cruelty to children that his father and mother were dead, and pitched into him a regular fairy- tale. To the police he also told the same tale. His mother said his attendances at school for the last six months were very bad. —He was sent to an industrial school, there to be detained until he is sixteen.
