The Chief Liberal "Whip sent his good wishes by telegram in these terms :— Cannot make out from the papers which of you is taking on Carpentier. Good lad; go in and win. Please wire time a.nd place. Will try to get over to Paris, accompanied by three strong whips, to see fair play. Greatly admire your pluck. Good luck and best wishes from your Uncle Percy. The doubt in the message arose, ap- parently, from uncertainty as to the coil who who was aoimr into the ring.

"RHEUMATISM REMOVED IN AN I HOUR." I Neuralgia Also Cured. I Mr. Lawrence Windley, Cranleigh, Dane-road, Luton, Beds. sends the following letter:- I had Rheumatism in my leg and had to go at-out with the aid of a stick. I took two Kephaldol tablets at 10 a.m., and by 11 all traces of pain had dis- appeared. and I have not had it from that day to thi6. All you say of Kephal- dol is true.' It is a pain-killer. The remaining tablets I gave to a friend suffering with acute Neuralgia, and they have positively cured him." That letter is only one or thousands praising Dr. Stohr's Kephaldol, the greatest pain-killer known. It is to he obtained from all Chemists. It is th", only known remedy that is recommended by all who try it.

THE FREEDOM OF SWANSEA. (Continued from Page 1.) bridge, as ho does to municipal enterprises, or high matter of Imperial concern. Nor will aclmiretrs be too ready to adept Sir John's personal donomiiiator of ''extinct athlete!" Healthy op every variety find in Sir John a de- voted patron. A tine. old Christian gentleman; Swansea does not kno'-v— Wales does not know what it owes to Sir John Llewelyn—-probably never will! MR. JOHN DYER. I "Ono of the best"—-that is what they all say about Mr. John Dyer, J.P. He is a Devonshire man. came from Brain- ton to Swansea in 151, and took root here. He carried on business as a miller roT many yeans. ibr-,ii the concern wa.s merged into the fii-in of Messrs. Thomas and Jvrans and John Dyer Ltd. They Ù9 a. large biisijo in milling, cattle foods, etc., throughout South Wales. Mr. Dyer is fnairmàn of the firm, which is among t/iose that have helped to build up the commercial prosperity of Swan- sea. Mry Dyer has always shown himself al>rge-hearted benefactor. His late wife, too, was ever-ready in response to need. They iointlv presented to the Swansea Hospital the ward which bears thcir ^n-amo, and cost altogether £ 12,000. The Swansea, Hospital never had better friends than Mr. and Mrs. Dyer. The G-l yn Vivian Art Gallery is en- riched by Mr. Dyer, who has intimated his intention to bequeath to the gallery a number of paintings, porcelain, and ot-her valuable art treasures. Mr. Dyer is a vicar's warden of St. Mary's, aud, with accustomed gener- osity, has contributed not only to the present church building, but a.lso to the magnificent electric organ. He was formerly a teacher in the Swansea Lla^rged School, of which ho wfis, indeed, a pioneer. Though not' any longer in such direct contact, he still, every year, like his fellow recipient of the town honours, contributes handsomely to the enjoyment of the scholars attending that old-established institution. MR. DAVID DAVIES, I "LIandinam" has a' reputation for iisocial entei?rise which finds cumulative force in its present lord, Mr. David Davios, M.P., J.P.-tbe beating heart in Wales of the King Edward Memorial. The Carnr de Lion of the tuberculosis campaign is now chairman of the Execu- tive Committee of the Welsh National Memorial to King Edward VII. The charity which began at home, among his own workmen, has developed into a wider beneficence. Though but 34 years of age, Mr. Dd. Davies has travelled far—in Canada, Alaska, the Rockies, Korea, Japan, China, and British East Africa, and shows valuable trophies of his I)ig game ishooting expeditions. At home his chief recreiltioil is hunting; he main- tains packs of foxhounds, otter hounds, and beagles. Mr. Davies is a vice-president of t.he University College of Wales (Aberyst- wyth). a. member of councils of Univer- sity College of North Wales (Bangor), 'n_ I University College of South Wales (Cardiff). and Normal College (Ba-n?r). He is also a member of Court of Uni- versity of Wales, and president of Mining Education Board of South Wales. e ha.s interested him self in agri-I, culture, and in hunter breeding; is a' member of the Council of the Hunters' Improvement Society. He holds a commission a<s captain in the 7tb | Battalion Royal Weisti Fusiliers. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a. member of the Royal Agri- cultural Society, and of the Central Land Association. He is interested! in several com- mercial undertakings, being chairman of Ocean Coai and Wilson's, Ltd.. chairman of the Cambrian Railway Co.. deputy chairman of the Barry Railway Co., and a director of the Brecon and Merthyr Railway Co. A Liberal in politics, at the General Election of 1910, he retained his seat as M.P. for Montgomeryshire by the handsome majority of 1672. and at the next election, was returned unopposed. MR. ROGER BECK.. Not in vain did the volatile mind of Mr. Roger Beck saturate itself in Charles Dickens during its impression- able youth. Mr, Roger-why on earth is he not "Sir Roger"—be ought to be? i --is, among our public men, the humorist of Swansea: and a speech by him never fails, not only of solid thoughtful contribution to the matter i n hNl but in opening up some new rich vein of pleasantry. It was with! one long rollicking: iauifih that he re- j ccntly engineeiod the Building Fund of I the new Y M.C.A., an organisation for which his own purse is over open. (Mr. Roger Keck would have something iUuminative to say about that last re- mark, if he heard it!) He is a life-long bachelor (it seems to agree with him), and a member of the firm of Messrs. Wright. Butler and Co., who have large steelworks both in South Wales and Monmouthshire; a member of the Swansea Harbour Trust, and now a J.P. He is also connected with the steam trawling industry. A Churchman and a Conservative, he was at one time president of the Swan- sea Town Conservative Association, is now a president of the Royal Institution. and a life-governor of the Swansea Hos- pital. He is a well-read man, and has travelled considerably. Years ago he was a well-known ama- teur histrionic, and assisted the old Swansea Dramatic Society, with the late Mr. Chas. Glasbrook. and others who have since left the country or departed this life. At that time he had popu- larity as a lecturer and elocutionist; used to draw fashionable audiences. To prove that. as he himself would say, "there is life in the old dog yet." only last Christmas Mr. Beck delighted a large audience, in Llewelyn Hall with a vivid realisation of Dicken s Carol." Long may he live!
