Mid-Rhondda Musings Owing to pending structural alterations, Mr. J. Owen Jones, draper, &c., Pandy Square, will continue Ms bargain sale for a further period. --+-- With clockwork regularity a Drum aaid f ue? Baud has been consistently blow- ing and drumming into our ears each evening, for the "Two Little Drummer Boys are at the Theatre Royal. --+- It is not often we are given our adver- tisements in such harmonious and tune- ful fashion. There are some people in Tonypandy who know what it is to be kept at bay by a couple of dogs. Last Saturday night, in a stable behind a certain grocer's shop, some wonderful things happened. Two dogs. had found their way to the stable, and when the grocer tried to get at his horse he was nearly nabbed by these brutes. With murder in his eyes, he ran to otbain the assistance of two men in blue, and it was some time before the latter, with the aid of a pitchfork, succeeded in giving the dogs the "quietus." A pitchfork is a useful implement to deal with hay, but pitching dogs is ,another matter. Miss Charlesworth has accepted an offer of a salary of £3ûO a week to appear on the variety stage. An acquaintance of ours is prepared to lose his mother-in- law for a smaller figure.

Porth Jottings. Riding down to Porth the other day in a tramcar, we noticed some wag had evidently been at work. A sculptor's advertisement on the win- dow contained a picture of a grave-stone, on which, written in pencil, were the words: —" In loving memory of Bill Bailey; at rest." No doubt the wag with the pencil knew poor old Bill, and simply wanted to per- petuate his memory. a Round the Porth Post Office the other day stood a crowd of open-mouthed, cariosity-stricken people. On further observation, we noticed they were simply looking at a notice displayed in the Post Office window, announcing the opening of the Aberhondda Post Office. --+-- We should think the millennium is about to dawn in Porth, especially when Hannah Street lane has received its due treatment. -+- We noticed a short time ago refuse being cleared out of Hannah Street at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. We understood that refuse should be cleared away by 8 o'clock a.m. Nice thing for shopkeepers to have dust, &c., flying about during busy busi- ness hours.

Ystrad Yaps. The other day, two little boys were passing a certain building. Seeing, a man on the roof, one of them exclaimed: Oh! look at that man." What? said the other in contempt, that's not a man that's Harry One generally sees acrobatic feats on the stage," but we saw a man performing on a banana skin last week. Thisi is the age of evolution. After concluding his performance, he limped round with his hat, so that he might buy a box of "Zaim-Buk," for he wanted to rub it in." Things are looking dark" here just at present, for last Sunday the members of a certain chapel were obliged to bring their lamps to the service. It is not true that the service commenced with Lead, Kindly Light." However, they were all "wise," for each had" sufficient oil and each his lamp well trimmed." Perhaps the parable accounts for this. A navvy was returning home three sheets in the wind last Saturday night, well laden with parcels. (No; he was not married).

Treherbert Tags. I Hooray! and Hurrah! Treherbert rejoices. Stinker has gone at la»t. At the expense of eight oranges, some blessed martyr engaged eight boys; to fetter the old goat and haul it into a furniture vail. ¡ Brave little children! J The van was bound for Treforest, and after the roof—which made desperate efforts to blow off—had been secured; Stinker" was conveyed to his future abode. We expcct to hear of a terrible earthquake in Treforest ere long. ¡ A married man of Treherbert believes 1 in accepting a woman's word. Well, somebody must, for what woman can keep t her own VOl' d It is difficult to under- stand women, because they never try to make themselves plain." To err woman. Treherbert N.U. played against Runcorn I up North on Saturday last, and were defeated by 24 points to 8. Well, at any i rate, our players had an "outing." We expect victory over Aberdare at Tie- herbert next Satiirday-a Welsh League. Little Willie lives in Bute Street, and he wants to know if his father will be an angel, because he has whiskers and angels have none. He may become one, but we fear it will be a close shave." + In the last match between Treherbert Athletic and Treorchy Old Boys, the full- backs were Bull I and Lion" respec- tively. Thus it is quite evident that there is a. deal of animalism introduced into Rhondda Rugby. -+-- An empty can does not always point, a. moral," but it frequently "adorns a tail,' as do tho Treherbert children adorn the tails of the tramears. TheSe tactics often result in -,t "tail" (tale) of woe. A owiain young mail no doubt wonders why he has been termed the "Lieutenants" Is it because he has lately left his houise that he lias, been so called Lieutenant^ (left-tenant) ? From one of our Council Schools: — Teacher: Give jne the name of a bird that is now extinct." Dicky! Dicky? What sort of a bird is thai r" "Our canary. The cat extincted hÎJn,"

Pontygwaith Pottage We wish to congratulate Mr. Tlieophilus Thomas, L.T.S.C., Tylorstown, on his appointment to the leadership of the Pontygwaith Male Voice Party. We wish Mr. Thomas and his party every success. One of the gentlemen at the Liberal meeting asked the lecturer the following question :—" Should bachelors be taxed?'' The lecturer, without a smile, quietly answered that wealth in the making should not be taxed, but wealth after it is made should be. I -0- Accidents are frequently happening nowadays. May the fair damsels take a warning. Beware of back pedalling and side-slips."

Penygraig Peps. Mr. Edgar Jones, M.A., found so many 1 young ladies in the meeting at Williams- j town that he once thought of changing j his subject. J They, however, conducted themselves ¡I very well. They have not yet, it seems, caught the fever. I The members of the Penygraig Literary Society a.re busily preparing for their inter-debate with: Pontygwaith. They had the better of it at Pontygwaith, and they will not suffer defeat on home soil. "By the way. we hear that a certain { prominent Liberal agent is supplying our I enemy with jowder and shot." Over 400 witnessed the first encounter at Pontygwaith. Penygraig are looking forward to a stili greater number. ¡ -+- A member of Pisnh Church gave his I first instalment of the Old Age Pension to the cause!
