CHATS ON NEWS- PAPER HISTORY. I 2. Liverpool an4 its Newspaper in I | the days <^f Waterloo. j MUCH ink has flowed from journalistic quill and nib in the paragraphing of History from day to day. since the time when the No Liverpool Courier," gave the news of Wellington's campaigns and set the old city coffee-houses and ex- changes agog over the latest despatches of Wellington from the Continent. The paper == t '.=? 9 ly 1815 which our great-great-grandfathers then perused was but a tiny folio of some eight pagt-s printed on the most improved machines at a rate that could not have exceeded more than 100 copies to the hour Its gigantic eWsping of to-day which is thundered out at the speed of 100,000 an hour, and comes betimes with the early-morning milkman, containing the news of the world red-hot, is a twninder of how strong has been the hold on the public of Liverpool's oldest newspaper, throughout all the viccissitudes and world events of one hundred and eleven years. Since the famous January day in the reiga of Georgfr the Third, when old Thomas Kaye, its first editor, published his initial copy from hi», newspaper-shop iu Castle Street at the request of the leading Conservatives of the township, the I- Couriers'' success and popularity has thriven with the years. Its pnme principles to day are what they were in 1808 it has nursed an early 19th century township returning a minority ot Tories, to the citysfcronghold of British Unionism to-day; and it has been as consititeut in its politics as it has been plaindealing and painstaking in its advocacy of them. In the days before the railway train had replaced the d;.a chair and pogt- chaise, when gas was a novelty to gape at, when important news from London and the Continent had to be brought in by mounted couriers, and the art of shorthand notation was as rare as in the tiroes of Cicero, the Home and Foreign news of the "Courier" ef the early Nineteenth Century was the very best that human pains and ingenuity could serve the public with. In those times be it noted it had to compete with several older rivals, but its sheer read- ableness, its weight and treochancy and integrity of principle won it so immediate a success among the bob wigged merchants and feshionable citizens who used to foregather in coffee-tavern and change and mart to discuss the days events that it soon beat its old com- temporanes to easy graves. Casu Uy skimming the ancient files of the Courier relating to the period of the Wars with Napoleon, we can see how analogous news of those early years, then read by the old Liverpool merchants W over their glass of Hollands and pipe of Negro's Head, appeared to those through which we have recently passed. In the years when Liverpool's sons were fighting on sea and on foreign soil to help bring the Kaiser of his day to his Amerongen at Saint Helena, Liverpool's crack frigates were being sank, by the French see- arm until in the year 181 i there was a falling off in dock- dues-to the extent of XSS,732 10 0 and in ships to the tune of 123,201 in tonnage. Provisions were scarce, trida was de- pressed, and a subscription was opened by the" Courier" for buying up provisions for the poor at cheap rates. The walls about, Castle Street and the Town Hall were placarded with edicts adjuring economy in the use of bread and potatoes, and forbidding (exactly as in 1916) the consumption and sale of bread not twenty-four hours old at least. Even when the wars with Napoleon were ended amid ringing of the peace-bells from the steeples and the discharging of fireworks at Everton, want and unemployment were rife, paper money obtained everywhere, and commerce," says our journal of the year 1819, "was jiever in our memory in so depressed and dangerous a state as in these timt,s." Yet by the first months of 1820 and the death of the Third George. Liverpool had turned the danger point. Canada, India and Cape Colony were the new dependencies an.,i Colonies of Empire just then beginning to discharge their rich freights and merchandise upon Liverpool's docks and wharves. The progressive spirit of the "Courier" was one with the far-sighted merchants who saw in the new-born steam-power a new and powerful weapon for revolutionising manu- facture and applying it to the domination of the seas and to the expansion of the great sea-port's maritime trade. Through all those perilous times, as now in these of our own day, the Courier" fought for the conservation of all that was good in our country, and for the destruction of all that it considered did not minister to the country's growth, either at home or abroad. 0 Backed by such old Liverpool worthies as Sir John Gladstone (father of the great Minister) and the Venerable Archdeacon Brooks it fought the English Revolutioning propaganda bred from the Bolshevism of France in 1793, just as it has fought the Bolshevism of modern labour extremists to-day. It was abreast of the times in 1808 it mirrors and forms the thought of to-day. Liverpool iiflimer FIRST in 1808 and FIRST in 1919. c.

FOOTBALL NOTES. U.C.W. v. NEWTOWN. The. College Team met Newtown on Saturday at home in the Montgomeryshire League when the College lost two points. Tiie occasion was the benefit of Mr. Cook, groundsman. In the first half the play was decidedly in favour of the visitors whose wing to wing tactics were rewarded by a score by Finney, followed by one by Evans, who scored after exciting play in front of the Col.egtf goal. College efforts were confined to the right wing where Kiffyn Owein and Ken Wynne played well together. On the left wing Knight made a clever run, but was robbed of the ball by the visiting right back who returned well up the field and Beadles scored the third goa. The visitors continued to have the best of the exchanges and tested the College defenders who con- ceded a corner kick from which Finney scored, the ball striking the upright. Shortly before the interval Knight first scored for the home team. At half-time the score was- Newtown 4. I College 1. I In the second half the game was in the hands of the College who pressed hard. The forwards were well supported by the halves. Knight on two occasions nearly brought about Newtown's downfall. Dusk set in long before full time, the visiting team's arrival having been delayed. Rod Morris and Wynne scored for Colege amid the cheering of supporters. FULL TIME:— Newtown 4. College 3. The teams were--U.C.W. Thomas, T. D. Davies, Stan Jones; T. Jones, H. Jones, and H. Evans; K.

These teams met in. a friendly encounter on Saturday at, Barmouth. The hcmesters gave a trial to five new players, and the visitors brought tiholr best team. From the kick off the homesters were prominent on the right wing, J. R. Davies and Willie Owen being con- jpicuous for tricky playing. Harlech defence was severely tested, but Thomas and Davies defended hnoly, and the home forwards could not peiTietrat the defence. Harlech then took up the attack and Roberts and Humphreys, on the left wing, had hard lines, Humphreys, the home custodian, saving grandly. Barmouth was having the best of matters, the five forwards being prominent in passing, though chances were missed by wild play. Parry, the visitors' custodian, was severely tested, but could not be 'boa.ten. Harlech worked thoir way to the home territory and from a centre by R. H. Roberts, Griffith Williams scored for the visitors. After this the homesters had the best of matters and J. H. Rees drew level with an excellent shot from thirty yards.

THE COMMONPLACE.
THE COMMONPLACE. November 7th, 1902. I see the pathos of the commonplace, The tragedy of every day events, The bliss and woo of uneventful lives, The meaning of the lot that all men share. This life of mine is not less strange to me- Or less obscure, or less a mystery— Because a million million things have life, Which not a single one of a.l the host Can understand, or fathom, or explain, Or tell me whence it comes or whither goes. Death, universal death is commonplace, More widely spread than even life itself-, Yet who can tell the hidden tale of death, And lay its ancient, dreaded searet bare? Close-linked, yet far apart are dfe and death, They loom and threaten or they lure and shine Inviolable and inscrutable. Joy, sorrow, love and hate are commonplace, And so are health and sickness, hope and fear, With all the mind conceives or heart desires. If only what is raro in life shall count, Then none can know me and I none can know. That all have sight makes not. the sky less blue, Nor is love's voice less sweet because they hear; Earth's glory is as great each morn and eve As if to me alone it were revealed; Life's gifts unshared cut the possessor off, And dooms him to an outer loneliness, Where sympathy can never penetrate And love for ever must remain unknown. He is most wise who takes iife's common gift3 And shows his fellows how they make him rich- Who finds his pleasure in the commonplace, And asks for nothing all may not enjoy. WAITING. November .5th, 1901. Not in expectancy as waits the youth, With all things possible both good and great, Wait I, but as the toiler who is spent And asks for nothing more than rest and sleep- Deep sleep and absolute forgetfulness Of all that is and was and is to be Youth dreams of days that shall be still more bright, When keen desire has ripened into act, When all life's promise has been realised And there is no more dull, or dark, or cold. Youth sees each goal as but a halting- place, Although the way is thick y strewn with graves. I do not wait that flower may grow to fruit, Or fruit may ripen into mellowness. Summer and harvest time for me have passed, And winter marks the quickly short'ning day- The gathering night—the time for rest and sleep, And I look backward on the way I came. I backward look, and, may be, also wait With longing undefined and unexpressed, For something that e'en yet might crown my life And make it not so bare so incomplete. Something that ail the while I sought and missed— Something that others scorned or tossed aside. I wait for that which may not come to me, But stili I wait while time ebbs slowly out. I know that I might seize the prize I crave, For I am strong and could not be withstood. But I would rather end my life unblessed Than shroud in shadow that which most I love. If that which is to me my heart's desire To those who know me seems of no account, I will be dumb and still. They may be right. Besides, it is tw late to grieve and strive, And so I stand impassive and I wait But 0, the task: my God, how hard it is. The Coast. J G.

Unfortunately, two of the six did not seek municipal honours, The reasons for supporting tho four randi- dates was explained at a general meeting on October 24th.

BERTH.
BERTH. EVENING CLASSES.—Berth district has never before had an opportunity of aÆtending- evening classes, little interest having been takrID in education for the young people. Early this yealr the new'y-appointed Head- master (Mr. T. R. Howells) of Castell Flemish School, with others, took advantage of the opportunity and made arrangements for even- ing classes for the winter. The first meeting was held on Thu\~sday evening when as ma-ny as twenty-eight were registered, and as the grant paid by the education authority depends so much on the attendance, and also holdmsr this class ih futuire wit depend on the success this year, and, moreover, the benefit derived I by each scholar will more than reoay for the little sacrifice that have to be done in attending regular. It is also hoped that the authorities will study the requirements of the country district, as well as towns, when issuing regu'a- tions in future.
