Mid-Rhondda Musings This is the first occasion for Penygraig to secure the Gilchrist Lectures. One of our correspondents-a cynic, by the way—attended Dr. Roberts' lecture on Canons and Gorges." He has since been dreaming of earthquakes and glaciers. Evidently, he is a trifle mixed. The same correspondent complains of the coughing which took place at the lecture, and advises these afflicted folk to buy some lung tonic by the next lecture. A sure tonio we would think would be to swallow the "Penygraig Peps" which appear now and again in these columns. Last Monday was Milgi Day at Dinas. The road leading to the moun- tain above Graigddu Farm was one mass of moving "humanity and a heterogeneous collection of the canine tribe. --+- It was the occasion of a rabbit coursing match, and greyhounds, long and lean, -3ud warmly clad in cloth, were led in cjiiuns to the scene of the event. After the match, feepr was "swilled" down in large quantities, and the day was fittingly brought to a, clo.se in a series of free fights! --+- members of Piegah, Penygraig, feel very grateful to P.C, O'Brien for his promptness in putting out the recent fire at the chapel. --+- They have also sent a letter of their appreciation of O'Brien's efforts to the Chief Constable. --+-- Miss Beattie Bloom, who appears this week at the Hippodrome, has evidently a high regard for Man. It is email wonder that the "boys" are madly in love writh the fajr damsel. But dear Beattie. Surely, woman has the right to expect something more from her husband than" fish and chips" on Saturday nights. This, at least, would he "greasy" comfort. Many of our readers will be pleased to learn that P.O. J. H. Lewis won a certi- ficate in the Life-saving Swimming Ex- hibition at Cardiff on Saturday. P.O. Lewis, who is now stationed at Barry, after having served for a number of years at Tonypandy, is a most capable officer. --+-- In addition to his prowess as a swimmer, he is also qualified to act as sanitary inspector, having passed his examination with credit some months ago. --+- Last week's issue of The Electrical News" contains the announcement that the Penygraig Chamber of Trade has applied to the National Electric Company VhT'Ti TT "ec^ssary steps to supplv the pfcn31a 7 with electric light. The ndda Gas Department must wake up. th^lL^' Says a' correspondent, say that it is little wonder ttat'tr, .'1 °funcl1'

Pentre Pellets. We quite understand why no reporters were invited to the Fire Brigade supper last Tuesday night. The members', being volunteers themselves, would have nothing to do with the Press gang." The unusual vitality recently displayed by our scavenger has been the sole topic of the week. Someone has awakened" to the call of duty, but unfortunately it does not happen to be the Pentre house- wife. The result is that a. continuous row of unemptied ash-buckets, &c., may be seen in Ystrad Road throughout the whole day.. It seems a nity that Christma.s gifts are not distributed during February, for tipping the ashman works wonders. One old lady we know of determined to rise to the occasion, and deposited her kitchen refuse out one night. This dangerous" practice is, however, not to be encouraged, for it may result in someone "kicking the bucket." The gentleman who was lately noticed sweeping the pavement in front of his establishment at 9 a.m. without having performed his morning toilet, is not to be excused, for he invariably has plenty of time at his disposal. o Should^ a certain Pentre damsel—-who assists at a fancy stores1—ever decide to remain unwed, it will not be owing to her lack of admirers, for the numbers of young; men drawn there are a "proof" of her popularity. --+-- It seems that the street traders who have been exiled from certain London thoroughfares have found refuge at Pentre, for several were offering their wares on Saturday night. This certainly "taxes" the temper of our heavy rate- payers. If our local doctors advertised for assis- tants in the same language as our Editor applies for correspondents, we should un- doubtedly witness a long array of hearses with the applicants' "specimen of work enclosed." o. We sympathise with the budding Caruso who sang" All that glitters is not gold to a gathering of friends, the other even- ing, for his tie pin, so prominently dis- played,, would certainly vanish if sub- jected to an acid test. The Burning Bush missionaries now holding forth at Pentre are in no way connected with the Cardiff footballer. Their teaching "points" towards a dif- ferent goal than that which our friend Percy so often tries to reach. The new set piece" utilisd at the Tivoli this week is a decided acquisition. The only further improvement we should suggest is that one of our uniformed gentlemen be set V amongst the gods, so as to ensure "peace" throughout the performance. The following "englyn" to Councillor Edward Jones, J.P., the chairman of the Rhondda District Council, was penned by one of his colleagues on the Council: — Galluog, enwog Ynad-yw Edward, Nid adwaen ddrwg deimlad; A gwr yy sydd lawn o gariad 0 hyd a/i law i godi'i wlad.

Porth Jottings. We learn from highly authentic sources that the Rhondda Tramway Company an# not only contemplating running: their cars from Ireherbert to Blaenrhondda and from Ferndale to Manly, but that their aspirations are exceedingly higher than that.. -+- The. possibility of connecting Aberdare;, to Alardy by a circuitous route over the kills has already appealed to this enter- prising Company, and a tramcar ride to Sweet 'Berdar (we are told) is not beyond j the dreams of realisation. The problem of a, park for Porth can thus be esily solved. The unkind sug-î gestion to steal i field from Llandaff some "'Ii dark night, or buy up all the freehold earth contained in flower pots, is no longer worthy of consideration. \Ve can take a car and spend the afternoon In I Aberdare Park. I Now that the Cynimer workmen resumed work on Monday last, the outlook at Portli is exceedingly brighter and the dismal j gloom is removed. It is pleasing to note that the football lovers of the Valley intend showing their i appreciation of the merits of Harry i pp Jones, the international footballer. --+-- To attempt to eulogise Harry as a foot- bailer would be to paint the lily. He, stands as one of the greatest forwards I Wales ever had and his name is known familiarly throughout Wales. 1 --+-- For the last eighteen months or so he has failed completely in health, and it is very gratifying to learn that the move- ment to assist him is so widespread. He thoroughly deserves the patronage of all patriots. ¡ The benevolent concert at the Palace on Sunday evening was a magnificent suc- cess. The spacious building was packed with people. The programme being an excellent one, the audience was delighted with the entertainment. The P.S.A. meetings at the John Pugh Memorial Hall are evidently gaining in popularity. Last Sunday afternoon's meeting was a great success, several friends attending for the first time being -clliite delighted with the programme,

Ton Talk. The new vestry of Hebron is a decidedly pretty addition to the many new build- ings in the locality. Verily Ton is a village of vestries.. --+- We have witnessed more than one chute i shoot from the roofs of different houses as a result of the frost. Through such aj range, we should think that someone's I head would make a very poor target. --+-- The overturned ash-buckets which we 1 observe early in the morning, testify to; the pushing propensities of the midnight: marauders, in the shape of mutton, which meander from the mountain. --+- We should imagine that the pen would be of some use in preventing this. The frequent practice of crossing the two inclines in Ton is wrought with ,oiio degree of dangers. At least, wo are inclined to think so. There is every prospect of Ton retaining the championship this year. The games, the majority of which played have been won, still continue to, draw good gates. The team should net something bv the end of the year. y --+- A certain young man in the neighbour- hood is anxiously waiting for St. David's I Day to attend the banquet which will be .'1 held at the Workmen's Hall. A week before it is due, lie says he is going to fast. Our advice to him is, ¡ Hold on, old chap; not quite so fast.' An address was delivered last Sunday at St. David's Church on The Man in the Street." If it ■was the Man in the Moon," we might have had some "light" on the subject. Princess Ju-Ju went off fine at the'. Workmen's Hall. A short-sighted man,5 when he saw a poster, exclaimed Ju-,J u, I must see this j-Lli-jitsui.11 After wrestling for some time with the bill, he SEFVV his mistake.

I Tylorstown Topics. At last the park is deserted of shows. Surely, the grass will now have time to grow. .+- A revival in "Votes for Women" is expected shortly. Our explanation for this prediction is the debate on Woman Suffrage on the, coal tip last week. --+- It is of no use practising the cake-walk on a banana skin. Why not try the- park, as it is unoccupied. The cry for a Hall and Institute is still ra<ring. Why wait longer Let us appeal to the colliery owner for support. --+-- At the recent ballot, the majority were in favour of a Hall and Institute. --+- Vndoubtedly the best combination of children's voices to be heard is Horeb ¡ "Band of Hope, which holds its own with I any in the district. Obnoert committees are clashing against each other at Tylorstown. The union between the churches for such occasions has been broken, and we believe it spells imÍæhief. Hurrah! Somethino- in the form of a gas pipe is being laid at Church Street. Who said the Rhondda Leader doesn't improve matters locally.

Last Saturday, an interesting football match was. disturbed by the appearance of-the owner of the land upon which the match was played. Most of the lads ran away, and when subsequently caught and charged with trespassing, they denied the offence. No doubt," said the irate old fellow, "you ate a lot of angels and innocents." The owner was accompanied by a dog, k but which of the two, caused the abandon- ment of the game is a difficult point to settle, as both appeared equally ferocious. Ystrad roads, says a correspondent, are kept in a clean state since the advent of the cars. Most of the women, when alighting from the car, generally carry away as much mud as a six-inch frill will accommodate. --+- An old lady residing in William Street, on hearing the gramophone for the first time. remarked that she would like "to see the little man singing inside it."
