OBEDIENCE. I A golfer in the North used to employ as & caddie an old man whose intimate knowledge of the game was of great value. The oLd fellow was not strictly honest, however, and his employer, having one day detected him in some small theft, said "When you die, Mac, you will not go to Heaven." Perhaps the caddie did not catch the words, or it may have been his innate sense of oted re-nce, which promted the meok reply, "Verra, weel, sir !From Mr. Gerald Batchelor's "Golf Stories."

I am now glad to say that I have conferred with my fr,,en, W. Parry (Messrs. Morgan, Brfuoe and Nicholas), land satisfactory terms have been arrived at between the parties, and I have to ask your worships to allow the case to with withdrawn." The Chairman We are glad to hear that you have settled. MAINTENANCE ARREARS. Thomas Evans, collier, Alltwen, was again summoned by his wife, Margaret, to show cause why he should not pay arrears 09 a maintenance order of £16 7s. 6d. Detendant offered to pay j31 down ana Tt the rate of 5s. per week until the ar- rears were cleared off. The Chairman: Pay JB3. Defendant I have only got 22, but I promise to pay the arrears off at 5s. per week. The £ 2 was accepted and defendant then asked the Court to aak his wife not to interfere with his mother who waa 75 years of a.ge. The Clerk (to prosecutrix) You must not molest him or his mother. Eleanor Evans, G.C.G., summoned her husband Thomas tor desertion. Com- plainant stated that she had been an in. mates of the Pon tarda we Workhouse for two years, but defendant had not contri- buted towards her maintenance since she left the institution.

Edmunds, sanitairy inspector, for exposing for sale a quantity of mack- erel unfit for human consumption, at Ymismeudwy, on 18th July. The fish was subsequently destroyed after being viewed by a magistrate. Defendant said that he was selling the fish fdr another man and that was the first occasion upon which he had been out with fish. The Chairman Don't you ksow any- thing about fish ?-Not much, sir. Y m. must be careful or you will be poisoning half the population. Prosecutor stated that there were young fellows in Swansea who were in the habit of buying bruised fiah and then hawking it in the Valleys. During the hearing of the m-se the de- fendant was crying bitterly, the tears rolling down his face in streams. After deliberation, the Chairmjyj said the Bench wished to be lenient with de- fendant under the circumstances, and he would have to pay the costs. HIS DAUGHTER. I John Morgan, farmer. Ystalyfera, was summoned by the Pontardawe Union to show cause why he should not pay more than 3s. 6d. per week towards the main- tenance of his daughter who was an in- mate of the Bridgend Asylum. Mr. Wyndham Lewis prosecuted, and said the Review Committee of the Guar- dians had decided that defendant could pay more than he had previously been paying. The cost of maintenance was 10s. 2^d. per week. Defendant said that he would prefer to pay as much as he could with any bother, but could not afford to pay 10s. per week as he wa-si getting old. The Chairman Under the circum- stances we think an order for 5s. per week will meet the case. OBSCENE LANGUAGE. I Johanna Morgan, Cfyng Road, Ystaly- I fera, a smertly dressed woman., was sum- j moned by P.C. Cookw with having used most obsoene and indecent language on June 24t at midnight. Defendant It is too bad that I can- not speak in my own house. The Clerk You must not make use of bad language that can be heard in the street. Defendant I was in bed speaking to my husband and I got annoyed and gave him a scolding. The Chairman You will be fined 10s., including costs. I A REAL WATCHFUL OFFICER. I John Evans, grocer's assistant, Tre-1 banos, was summoned for hasing allowd i the indentincation plate to be obscured whilst riding on a motor car at 8.40 p m. on 14th June. Further with failing to produce his licence when asked to do k>. P.C. 678 stated that there was a. side- car attached to the motor cycle and the ooat of the passenger being over the plate. He telephoned through to Ystaly- fera and P.C. 169 stopped him. P.C. 169, Ystalyfera, said defendant failed to produce his licence when called upon by him to do so. The Chairman I should advise you to carry your licence about with you. I' Defendant I have sold the Licycle. Ordered to pay the costs. I A COLLIER'S READING TASTE. Daniel Rees, Cyfyng Road, Ystalyfera, was summoned by P.C. Cook with hav- ing obstructed the road by causing a crowd to assemble in Cyfyng Road at 4.30 p.m. on July 11th. Defendant, in reply to the charge, said, "As true as God's in Heaven, I didn't move from my own doorstep. I was rea d I, ing the "War Cry. (Laughter). j Defendant's wife appeared, and in the course of her evidence said a crowd did gather and a dog was run ove<r by a. motor cycle, but her husband was not to blame. The Chairman (reading defendant's conviction sheet) You have improved since 1896 but there is still room for im- provement. You must pay 10s. I FURIOUS DRIVING. Howell Williams, Pontardawe, was summoned for driving a Mrse and trap to the danger of the public at 11.30 p.m. on 18th July, in Herbert Street. P.C. Carpenter proved the case and de- fendant was ordered to pay the costs. I AN INGENIOUS DEFENCE FAILS. STAMPING OUT THE GAMBLING EVIL. Thomas Williams, Lot Evans, David Davies, Griffith Jones, Edwin Ashton, Lewis Jones, Richard Morgan, William Davies and Philip Morgan, young fellows I of G.C.G., were summoned for gaming with cards on the G.C.G. Common, on 18th July, at 1 p.m. Mr. H. Thompson, Swansea., defended. P.C. (421) Davies said in company with P.C. Thomas he was in plain clothes on the date and at the place named and saw the whole of the defendants playing cards, and money was passed between them. He rushed on to them and picked up some cards and P. C. Thomas picked up Is. 6d. in silver. The Clerk Do you know what kind of I game they were playing ?-No. P. C. Thomas corroborated. Mr. Thompson I put it to you that they were not playing cards for money ? —They were. I picked up Is. 6d. Mr. Thompson You may have been fortunate enough to find Is. 6d. on the common. P. C. Thomas The money was on the paper in front of them. Supt. Letterefi Did you see any other money on the newspaper?—I saw half-a-sovereign and several other coins. I P.S. Shellum also corroborated. Mr. Thompson said it was undoubtedly very undesirable that people should game or play cards for money in a public place. Of course, it was very reprehensible. He submitted that he had no case to answer. He said he was entitled to claim the benefit of any technicality that might arise, and he would be lacking in his duty if he did not- do" «o. Quoting from "Store's Justices'. Manual," he read, "It is essential t6 and prove that the wagering was at Botne game or pretended game of chance? Mr. Thompson I am sure it is not for me to dictate tha meaning to your wor- ships. He quoted a oase, which he claimed raised the same print as the pre- sent case, arid, further, subttitted that whist was a gome of skill. The Chairman We want to put a etap to this ga.ming in pubiic places wfrich, I can assure you, is doing a great deal of harm amongst young peo- ple in this and other places. Mr. Thompson: So far as my clients are concerned, they have no intention of playing cards in a public place again. I am not answering the charge now. In this simple case I am entitled to take a technical point to defend my clients from a criminal offence. If your worships rely upon your "Store's," you must be forced to the conclusion, however reluctantly, that you cannot convict in this case. If these men had been charged with having played "don," "nap," or baccarat it would have been different. I believe I am right in saying that some years ago we had a very long argument about this matter and the late chairman, with great reluctance, felt he was obliged to dismiss the case. The Bench held that there was a case against the defendants. After consulting the defendants, Mr. Thompson said he had advised them not to give evidence. They would let the case stop where it was. He asked that the Clerk should make a note on the minutes that he had objected that it had not teen proved against the defendants that the game was a game of chance. The Chairman We really do want to put a stop to this gambline. It is doing a great deal of harm. The Bench were unanimous of the opinion that the defendants shall be fined £ 1 and ccsts each.
i NOT A CASE FOR APPLAUSE.I
NOT A CASE FOR APPLAUSE. I Friend (at a French play) Why did you applaud so vigorously when that comedian made his speech before the cur- tain ? Spriggins (confidently) So that folks would think I understood French. What did he say ? Friend He said the remainder of his part must be taken by an understudy, as his mother was dying. THE CAPTAIN'S DIGNITY. I As a magnificent vessel, one of the great South African liners, was steaming into Southampton Harbour, a. grimy coal lighter floated immediately in front of it. An officer, on board the vessel, observing this, shouted "Clear out of the way with that barge." The lighterman, a native of the Emerald Isle, s houted in reply, "Are ye the captain of that vessel?" "NIb," answered the officer. "Then speak to yer eqnails," said Pat, I'm the captain of this."

Two French Reservists from Abercrave, on their way to Swansea prior to departure for France, noticed the placard of an il- lustrated daily paper on the outside of Messrs. Jeffrey's shop in Commercial Street. The placard had printed upon it the photograph of the German Emperor. Running across to it, one of the French- men expectorated on the placard, and then picked it, meanwhile uttering voluble im- precations in French, and gesticulating. is companion pulled the placard off the board and savagely tore it up, and then used it in a manner that may not be described. A similar incident occurred at the Star Inn, where another French- man, in looking through a newepaper, saw the German Emperor's photograph. RESERVISTS OFF TO THE FRONT.

ABERCRAVE AND COLBREN. The Rev. W. Rowlands, of Wrexham, North Wales, occupied the pulpit at Neuadd Chapel on Sunday. It is time the Neuadd members seri- ously considered the question of engag- ing the services of a resident pastor. It is an ideal church for an energetic and progressive young minister. The building of the new Noddfa. Chapel has been entrusted to Mr. Thos. Samuel, Abercrave. Good, solid work is assured, and there should be no need) of the services of a olerk of works. The interment took place on Friday of Mrs. James, of Abertillery, daughter of the late Mr. Shadrack Lewis, wb? r i death at the early age of 23 years was chronicled in this column last week. The Rev. Lewis Jones officiated at the funeral obseques. The sympathy of the whole neighbourhood goes out to the bereaved family.

Anniversary services were held at Nantyffin Chapel on Sunday, the officiat. ing minister being the Rev. James Nicholas, Tonypandy, the well-known progressive divine. Powerful discourses were preached to large and appreciative audiences. The holiday exodus began on Saturday and will continue, all being well, this Saturday. The bookings at the local rail- way station were numerous and the des- tinations chosen varied, but the most popular oppeared to be Aberystwyth. The balloting for a medical officer for Gowerton took place on Wednesday even- ing. Dr. Richards, Abercrave, is re- garded as a particularly strong candidate. There was a large contingent from Abercrave present at the Drill Hall, Gurnos, on Tuesday morning, when a call for volunteers in connection with the pre- sent crisis was called. A number of local men responded, Sergeant Brookman, Craig-y-noe, a naval reserve, responded to mobilisation orders on Tuesday morning. TENNIS RACKETS, Repairs done on the premises at H.

"WINDOWS OF SIGHT."
"WINDOWS OF SIGHT." FATHER BERNARD VAUGHAN ON THE PICTUREDROMES. "If the picture theatre will only live up to its mission, I for one will welcome it with both hands," said Father Ber- nard Vaughan in an interview. "Curi. ously enough, the picturedrome has ar- rived just when there ia everywhere a de- mand for present and immediate gratifica- tion of the senses. As an observer of mankind, I cannot help recognising that human nature is drawn away from virtue to vice mostly through the eensea, more especially through the windows of sight. "If we are to lestf people bgck to lives of noble doing we, too, must draw them through the senses; if groes pictures, if scrofulous literature, if indecent playa, if brutal shown are sapping the good that is in us, surely it is the mission of the picturedron" to inspire, through the story of noble lives re-produced an the screen, the rising generation with resolu- tions to live their lives in the spirit of something attempted, something done,' for the betterment of tltemeelvea and their fellows. "I only wish I had control of a picture- drome in every centre of industry. I would convert it into a great schoolroom, in which I should throw across the screen selected stories from Holy Writ and from. history—more especially of my own coun- try."
NOTHING NEAR IT.
NOTHING NEAR IT. A pompous manufacturer of machinery waa showing a stranger over his factory. "Fine piece of work, isnt' it?" he said, when they were looking at a very in- genious machime,. "Yea," said the visitor, "but you can- not hold a candle to the goods we are turning out." "Indeed said the chagrined manufac- turer, "and what is your line?" "Gunpowder," was the reply. GOOD WORD FOR ALL. An old Scotch woman was famous for speaking kindly, and would always dis- cover some good trait in the worst char- acters. One day a gossiping neighbour lost patience with her and said angrily, "Wumman, ye'll hae a guid word to say for the deevil himself." Instantly same the reply, "Weel, he's a vera industrious body." WHAT WAS WANTED." "I had been giving a lesson on the Lord's Prayer," writes a teacher, "and when explaining the clause, Give us this day our daily tread,' was trying to get the boys to tell me what besides food was prayed for. "They told me 'clothing' and homes,' but I wanted them to add 'health,' and as I had just had a severe illness I pointed out that something elso was needed—something which I needed very much, but money could not buy. And the duffer of the class, suddenly showing signs of interest, put up his hand. "Well, John, what is it?" Sense, air At a meeting of Amman Valley group of Council School managers a recom- riendation from the Tycroes managers was read that the pupils holding scholarships at Llanelly County School be transferred to the Amman Valley Intermediate School when opened. It was decided' to ask the Edueation Committee in what position the Tycroes scholars were with regard to the Intermediate School to be established in the Amman Valley. I A WAY OUT. I The young man whose phenomenal powers of salesmanship had earned for him, in the reconstructed company, the position of sales-manager, with a seat on the board, celebrated his accession to high rank by giving a dinner to his sub- ordinates. The bill for this he later included in his expenses, and the secretary, a financial purist, demurred at passing it. "I really don't see how it can be legiti- mately charged up," he protested. Look here," was the reply, given with all the assured suavity of the pro- fessional persuader, "it'll be perfectly all right. Put it under promotion ex- pen sep.
