WISE AND OTHERWISE,
WISE AND OTHERWISE, PenheoS "Doctor, I have a most obstinate ead." Doctor (writing prescription): "And Ws your wife?" "Just the same." The Tailor: "I can't make you another suit until you pay for the last." The Customer: "Great Scott! I can't wait that long." Post committed suicide because he was orerworked." "Pooh! He couldn't have bees so very busy or ihe wouldn't have found time to do it. Wife: "Is there any difference between a fort and a fortress?" Husband: "Not much. ex oept, of course, that a fortress must be harder tel silence I" Customer: Are you sure this is real Ceylon tea?" Well-informed Young Assistant: "Cer- tainly, sir. Mr. Ceylon's name is on every package." Gertie: "I want to give my sweetheart a sur- prise on his birthday. Can you suggest some- thing? Arabel: "Well, you might tell him your age." A little girl was stroking the beak of a parrot when the ill-natured bird bit her. Oh, dear! she cried; "I thought it was a nose, and it's a tooth 1" Church: Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you what you are." Gotham: "Well, I eat hash at Mixum's restaurant." Church: "Then you're a fool! •" I should think a fan manufacturer would always be sure of success." "Why so? Be- cause fans are things that never fail to raise the wind," s J MfS. Noobride: u Yes, dear, 1 was married last month. I d iike you to call on me and see the pretty little flat I have." Miss Jellus: I've own him, my dear." "If you want eggs to keep they must be laid in a cool place," said a mistress to her servant. "All right, mum," replied the latter; I'll men- tion it to the hens at once." Mrs. Hutton: We are organising a piano olub, Mr. Flatleigh. Will you join us?" Flat- leigh: With pleasure, Mrs. Hutton. What pianist do you propose to club first? First Matron: "Yes, my doctor has the repu- tation of being quite a lady-killer." Second Matron: Oh, indeed! Mine doesn't make the slightest difference between the sexes." Bacon: "And you say he is kind to animals." Egbert: "Yes." Bacon: "Why?" Egbert: Whenever his wife commences to sing, he always puts the dog out of the room." "Yes," said young Mrs. Torkins, "I am sure our garden is going to be a success." So soon?" "Yes, the chickens have tasted every- thing, and they are perfectly enthusiastic." The class in natural history being asked the difference between a dog and a tree, the head boy answered: A tree is covered with bark, while the dog seems to be lined with it." "Things never happen right," said the moody man. The pianist in the flat above me has a sore throat, and the girl who is training to sing in grand opera has just sprained her wrist." I'm going to the dentist's to have this tooth out. Just mind the baby till I come back." Husband (with alacrity): 'You mind the baby, Jessie; I'll go and get a tooth pulled out! Young Wife: "Why do you always sit on the edge of the chair?" Husband: "Well, my dear, you know we're buying the furniture on the in- stalment system, and that's all I feel entitled to." Nell: That was a frightfully long sermon the minister preached this morning." Belle: Why, I didn't notice it was unusually long." Nell: "Of course not; you had on a new hat." Redd: "He's going to give a bachelor dinner out under the sky." Greene: "But suppose it rains before they've finished?" Redd: "Oh, they may all be under the table by that time! Miss Knox: There's a scandalous story about her in this morning's Daily Howler." Miss Goodart: But you can't believe anything you read in that paper." Miss Knox: "I can if I want to." A lady asked Pat what was the most extraordi- nary thing that struck him in the South Afri- can War. "Well," said Pat, the most extraordi- nary thing that struck me was the bullets that missed me." Friend (to guide): Why does your wife al- ways go round with the parties that you take over the castle? Guide: She always gives me a tip at the end so as to induce the others to follow suit." There, it's raining," said Mrs. Makeshift, and we can't have our picnic to-day. Let's soak our sandwiches in lemonade, and eat them on the floor. We can get plenty of red ants in the kitchen." "They say that when an ostrich is surprised he hides his head in the sand." "I wish to thunder he'd everlastingly hide his tail there," observed the man who had just settled a heavy millinery bill." But what can you do, young man? Haven't you some special talent or taste-some bent, as they say?" Applicant (dubiously): "N no, not that I can think of-except that I am a little bow-legged." You may pay me twenty pounds down and five pounds a week," said the physician, off- hand. "bounds as if I were buying a motor- car," the patient said. "No," said the doctor, thoughtlessly; "I am." Father (at supper-table): Well, Johnny, how did you get along at school to-day?" Johnny: Papa, my physiology says conversation at meals should be of a pleasant character. Let's talk about something else." He was the bridegroom and he was waiting at the church. 1 can't imagine why my bride is late," he said. Well, you will," replied the best man, "after you're married. They are hooking her dress up the back! "Which weeds are the easiest to kill?" asked young Flickers of Farmer Sassafras as he watched that good man at his work. "Widow's weeds," replied the farmer. You have only to say Wilt thou?' and they wilt." Mrs. Newlywed: "People are saying that you married me for my gold." Mr. Newlywed: "What nonsense! If I'd simply wanted gold, I could have got it with far less hardship and suf- fering in South Africa or Alaska." Robbie ran into the sewing-room and cried: 01), mamma! There's a man in the nursery kissing Fraulein." Mamma dropped her sewing and rushed for the stairway. April fool! said Robbie, gleefully. It's only papa." It's all nonsense about thirteen being an unlucky number." said Jones, impatiently. "I was married on the thirteenth." "I don't see that that proves anything," said the merry widow, softly, and Mrs. Jones smiled. Shakespeare says, you know, that some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall." "Well, what about it?" "Oh, nothing—nothing. I was merely goirg to say that you needn't ever be afraid of getting a fall of that kind." "I remember your wife as such a dainty and pretty girl, Tumly, and jjet they tell me she has turned out a fine cook." "Turned out a fine cook! exclaimed Tumly. "She has turned out half a dozen of them within the last three months!" Our Old Man: "Did you ever see how all the necessaries of life have gone up? Mr. Gus Fitz-Sherbert: "No, they haven't all gone up." Our Old Man: "Well, I should like to hear you mention one thing that hasn'^gone up." Gus: "Certainly. My salary." A student at a medical college was under examination. The instructor asked him: Of what cause, specifically, did the people die who lost their lives at the destruction of Hercula- neum and Pompeii?" "I think they died of an eruption, sir," answered the student. A semtry in camp with the Territorials was found asleep at his post, and was haled before the commanding officer. The C.O. was very stern and impressive. In war time," he said, the punishment for this offence is death. This is not war; nevertheless, you will have to pay a fine of threepence." Interviewer: "What is the first thing you Look for when you examine a man's head? Phreno- logist: "His bump of benevolence." Inter- viewer: "Why his bump of benevolence ( Phrenologist: So I will know how much to charge him for the examination." "We've been having a regular clearance at home," explained Mr. X. at his office, throw- ing all sorts of old things away. I put one of my' wedding presents on the fire this morning." "Did you really?" asked a horrified colleague. What was it? A copper kettle," replied X. "See here," said the tailor, as he headed the young man off, do you cross the street every time rrou see me to keep from paying this bill you owe me?" "I should say not," replied the young man. "Then why do you do it?" asked the knight of the tape. To keep you from ask- ing for it." answered the other.
Burglary at Tonypandy.
Burglary at Tonypandy. A burglary took place at Mr. Frank Gordon's outfitting shop at the. Coliseum Buildings, Gelli Road. Tonypandy, in the early hours of Thursday morning, and a quantity of goods, including Welsh flannel, mackintoshes, boots, blankets and suits of clothes were stolen. The win- dow by which entry was made, was covered with a thick wire netting. This was torn away, and a considerable por- tion oi the glass in the window was smashed. Certain marks on the door, evidently wrought by a piece of iron, points to the. tact that an effort was made to force it open. The police are makii)g investigations.

Empire, Tonypandy,
Empire, Tonypandy, An excellent picture show is given at the Empire this week, which draws crowded houses nightly. The programme includes Lieutenant Nose and the Spy, a, mO!t sensational picture; "The Angel of Dawson's Claim is a. very popular pictorial drama; "Corsican Bandits is a, film of excellent dramatic interest; and The Two Brothers is also a sensa- tional tableau; while The Detective's Dog" is a, film worth seeing. Among the comic .pictures Foolshead, Pteporter" figures prominently, while Life in the Next Century is most laughable.
Theatre Royal, Tonypandy.
Theatre Royal, Tonypandy. The extremely fine show of American Animatograph Pictures provided twice nightly at the Royal continues to prove a powerful attraction, the crowded audi( 'ences being most appreciative and enthu- siastic. The films shown are both in- teresting and amusing, and being quite new to the district, possess the addi- tional charm of novelty. An entire change is made in the programme for the second half of the week.
MORE " HAND-ME-DOWNS." 1
MORE HAND-ME-DOWNS." 1 Many a lad can sympathise with the point of view of the Kansas boy who had always been obliged to wear his father's cast-off clothing, cut down and made over. According to a writer in the Wichita Star, he was found crying behind the barn, and when asked what the matter was, replied: j "Pa's gone and shaved his face clean, and now I suppose I'll have to wear all them red whiskers." AMERICAN TITLES. William Jennings Bryan once joked about the American fondness for titles. "You all know of the Colonel," he said, who got his title by inheritance, having married Colonel Brown's widow? But I once met a General who got his title neither by in- heritance nor by service, nor by anything you could mention. 4 General,' I said to him, how do you come by this title of yours, any way Whv. sir,' said he, I passed my youth m the flour trade, and for twenty-seven years was a general miller.' I know another titled man, Judge Green. Are you, sir,' I once asked him, a United States Judge or a circuit court Judge? I ain't neither,' he replied. I'm a judge of hoss racinV "-St. Louis Globe Democrat. BOARDING HOUSE WIT. "Let's see," observed the smart boarder, seat- ing himself at table, "how is it the proverb runs-" You refer to the saying that one man s meat is another man's hash," put in one. Oh," cried another, don't cry over skimmed milk." "Or possibly," said a third, in butter there is strength." No," returned the smart boarder, "the par- ticular proverb I had in mind is None but the brave can face the fare.' "-Boston Transcript. THE DIARY OF A JOKE. 1 am born.

"Yes, sir," Uncle Eben said to his nephew, "there are all kinds of disappointments in this world, Charley, and some of 'em are worse'n others. But they're all jest ways of feelin' bad for a minute, I guess. 'Bout the disappointingist disappointment I ever have is when I feel and feel like sneezin' and it won't sneeze! That kinder gives you a notion of how all disappointments feel till you get over them." ( CHOOSING ONE'S PYJAMAS. To govern your mood to-morrow, say the wise ones, select the right shade in pyjamas to-night. If you have an eruptive disposition, don't wear creations of a passionate red; they cause greater infuriation. Select a dainty baby blue. Your atmosphere will become more serene and you will welcome the sun in the morning with the joy of a child. But if you are of a very timid, retiring disposition, you will do well to choose a fiery red, for throughout the night you will im- bibe courageous vibrations from the fibre of your pyjamas. I Green does not seem to meet with favour, save with very robust individuals, more delicate per- sons declaring that it develops insomnia. On the other hand, for a genuine and lasting mental stimulant no pyjamas are so effectual as violet or purple. These colours renovate and recharge the intellectual atmosphere, enabling one to do prodigious feats of reasoning. Yellow often causes illness, and white is soothing to the tired nerves. For a gentle state of melancholy, how- ever, a shade of grey in which blue is evident ip said to be most satisfying. This shade is recom- mended to all who are over-stimulated or who have indulged themselves in any way. 0, When one has learnt the vital, philosophic re- sults attendant upon the selection and purchase of pyjamas, the idea of delegating this impor- tant duty to one's valet or ordering by tele- phone becomes out of the question. Every gentleman must choose his own pyjamas.-t- Jadge. SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY. You don't give your conscience enough credit. When you say a man refuses to listen to rea- son, it means that he fails to agree with you. If you are contented, you are pretty well off without an auto and a mansion. It has been our experience that when the wea- ther is pleasant, and fishing agreeable, fish won't bite. Our idea' of an unusual man is one who doesn't have a lot of worthless junk he con- siders valuable. If a woman has proper pride she will never forget her dignity, not even when running to a fire. It usually takes a stronger hint to induce a visitor to go than was required to get him to come. There may not be much money in raising, chickens, but as an average proposition, it pays better than raising dogs.-Atchison Globe. JOYS OF SCORCHING. I suppose you will soon be giving up your motor and getting an airship?" "Not at an, replied Mr. Chuggins. There's no fun in going: away up there and frightening a few eaglea. Washington Star. Yeast: The preacher won't let us take our, umbrellas into church on a wet day." Crimsonbeak: Well, he's right. I don't thiols temptation should be put in a man's way, is church."
Coalfield Conference. Ji\…
Coalfield Conference. Ji\ w 4 The Cambrian Combine Dispute. The Executive Council's Recommendations. The .general conference of the South Wales coalfield callki, by the Executive Council of the iVTiners" Federation to consider matters in connection with the disputes at Mid-Rhondda and Aberdare, met at Cardiff on Wednesday. Mr. W. Abraham (Mabon) presided, and was sup- ported by Mr. Brace, and by nearly all the members of the Executive. After a long discussion on the subjects down for consideration, the Conference was ad- journed until Wednesday next. Appended is the official report supplied to the Press: A general conference, called for the purpose of considering the matters in dispute at the Cambrian Combine col- lieries and at the Aberdare collieries was held at the Cory Hall, Cardiff, on Wednesday, Mr. W. Abraham being in the chair, The; following were elected as tellers: —Messrs. T. Da vies (Anthracite), T. Thomas (Dowlais), E. Baker (Western Valleys), and W. Ray (Rhondda Valleys). The Credential and Business Com- mittee were:-Messrs. J. Phillips (Abertillery), J. Davies (Aberearn), Jabez Jones (Eastern Valleys), Ben Davies (Skewen), and T. Harris (Anthra- cite), with the general secretary. The General Secretary gave a report of the efforts that had been made by the Executive Council to try and secure a settlement of the disputes in the Aberdare and Rhondda districts, 'and also put before the conference the following recommendations of the Executive Council for dealing with both matters. On the Aberdare matter the follow- ing was the recommendation of the Council: —That the Aberdare workmen be advised to return to work as recom- mended by the Executive Council on November 14th; that the Executive Council put forth every effort to secure the re-employment of all the workmen, and that the members of the Federa- tion who cannot secure immediate em- ployment shall be, paid strike pay from the Central Fund. Upon the Cambrian dispute the Council recommended —That having failed to secure a satisfactory settle- ment of the dispute at the Cambrian Collieries, the Federation members be urged to pay their levies promptly in support of those workmen, and that an appeal he made to the Federation of Great Britain to render assistance in fighting this battle. Mr. Stanton addressed the conference on tue subject of the Aberdare dis- pute, and was followed by Mr. Troman, and the president (Mr. W. Abraham) further reported upon what had been done by the Executive Council. After this a general discussion en- sued upon the recommendation of the Council, and other methods that. might be adopted in order to try and secure a satisfactory settlement of the mat- ters in dispute at Aberdare, while there were strong general expressions of sympathy with those workmen. There was a general desire that something further should be done to assist the, Relief Committee in relieving the dis- tress now prevailing there. After a full discussion it was ulti- mately decided that the whole matter be adjourned to another conference on December 14th at the Cory Hall at 10.30 a.m. and that in the meantime a further sum of 92,000 be sent to the Aberdare Relief Committee. The following resolution was also p3,SS6d ——— "That we condemn the action of the Home Secretary in refusing to grant an inquiry into the conduct of the military and police forces in the Mid- Rhondda and Aberdare districts, and that we still press any future Home Secretary to hold such an inquiry." A resolution was also passed pro- testing against the sentence passed upon the secretary of the Ooalheavers Union at Havre, in France, and urging upon the authorities the necessity of revoking the sentence. The number of delegates present was 284, representing 152,559 workmen.
Tivoli, Pentre.
Tivoli, Pentre. A magnificent play, entitled The Beggar Princess," is elaborately staged and produced at the Tivoli this week by Mr. J. Rice Cassidy. The principal parts of the "Hon. Algernon Fitzhugh," an English-Irishman of the Scots Guards, and of "Seaweed," afterwards "Princess Henry of Slavonia," are excellently acted by Mr. and Mrs. Cassidy respectively. It would be difficult to find better exposi- tions of various characters, especially in the last two acts. Mr. Alfred Boxhall is exceptionally fine as the villain, Duke Sergius Rubinoff," his magnificent voice and physical appearance being great factors in his favour1. As Micjiael Iclion," the most powerful noble in Slavonia, Mr. Henry Danson does very well. The other parts are in excellent hands even including Billy Butt, the goat, who does his best without any hands. The staging of this play leaves nothing to be desired.
Cardiff Empire-
Cardiff Empire- A brilliant item on next week's Cardiff Empire programme will be Carmen Turia, the Snanish prima donna, who has made a considerable reputation for herself in her own country, and was a decided hit when she made her first appearance in this country a few weeks ago. Gifted with a voice of remarkable dramatic power. Carmen is also a beautiful woman -a circumstance hardly likely to pre- judice her in the eyes of a Cardiff audi- ence. She will sing some of her songs in Spanish, and also a few English ballads. Ted and May Hopkins, the popular Welsh humorists, will also appear in their very latest successes. Another big attraction will be Lew Lake and company, who will appear in an entirely new and original comedy drama, entitled King Nobbier," with Lew Lake as Nobbier, the Cannibal King. ilie remaining artistes of importance on the programme are the Francoli Troupe, in their comedy pantomimic acrobatic sketch; Edith Heron-Brown, the musical slavey Du Gros Trio comedy gymnasts; Edie Reynolds, a charming entertainer; and the Bioscope..
Palace, Porth.
Palace, Porth. The premier turn of an excellent pro- gramme submitted at the Palace this week are the Owens, in their vocal come- dietta, "The Wanderers." This item brims with wit and humour, and provokes roars of laughter and applause. The Hudsons, in an original comedy singing act, are also greatly appreciated. Their singing is particularly good, whilst their jokes and peculiarities cause endless mirth. Ihe Wailies, comedy jugglers, are astonishingly clever. As an equilibrist it would be almost impossible to find a greater than Wallies. Balls, billiard cues, plates and hats are being tossed in the air and caught on the chin nose and forehead with apparent ease. The Cinema is also of absorbing interest. Amongst the pictures exhibited are "A Bolt from the Blue," On Panther Creek," "Judg- ment of the Mighty Deep," "Betty Going from Bad to Worse," "Marked Time- table," Cruise in the Mediterranean Sea," The Rosary," and Enchanted Skates." The performance is distinctly good and worthy of good patronage.
Penygraig.
Penygraig. We deeply regret to record the death of Mrs. Gwenllian Williams, "Talygarn," Vicarage Road, Penygraig, who passed away on Tuesday, November 29th. De- ceased was the widow of the late Mr. John Eynon Williams, grocer, Penygraig. She was very highly respected in the dis- trict, and was a very faithful member of Pisgah (C.M.) Chapel for over 40 years. The funeral, which was an exceptionally large one, took place on Monday for interment at Llangynwyd Parish Church, Maes;,teg. The Rev. William Lewis, Cwm- parc. officiated, assisted by the Rev. M. H. Ellis, Trealaw: the Rev. Jas. Morris, Llanstephan; and the Rev. John Gri- ffiths, Llangynwyd. There were also present the Rev. D. H. Simon, vicar of Penygraig; the Rev. H. Parry, Peny- graig; the Rev. William Thomas, Maes- teg; and the Rev. D. Teify Davies, Garth. The chief mourners were. Mr. and Mrs. John Eynon Williams (son and daughter-in-law); Mr. David Eynon Wil- liams (son); Rev. and Mrs. Thomas and children, Cwmdare (son-in-law, daughter, and grandchildren); Mr. William Lewis, Maesteg (brother); Mrs. S.

Salmon, Morriston Mr. Harry Eynon, Mountain Ash; Mr. Idris Eynon, Mountain Ash; Mr. Henry Morris, Penrhiwceiber; Mr. and Mrs. Hey cock, Penygraig; Mrs. Elizabeth Morgan, Penygraig (cousins). Pisgah Church was represented by Messrs. Thomas Davies, Joseph Jones, Phillip Jenkins, Evan Matthews, Isaac Howells and William Silvanus (deacons), and a large number of members. We regret to record the unexpected death of Mr. Thomas Allen, Tylacelyn Roiad, which took place IOn Tuesday morning. The funeral takes place on Saturday. A dinner was given at the Penygraig Girls' School on Sunday to those chil- dren who are in need in the district. The donors were Mr. Tom Evans, D.C., Penrhiwceiber; Mr. W. Burgess, Mr. David Jones, and Mrs. T. Naunton Morgan. Upwards of 150 children were fed. The headmistress (Miss Wrtkiris) and several members of the staff, to- gether with. Mrs. T. Morgan, Mrs. Jones and others, superintended the work. A similar meal will be given on next Sun- day. The provisions will be supplied by Mr. David Richards. A sum of £ 5 has also been received from Mr. J. Eastment. Ynyshir, towards feeding the children.
