To-day's Short Story. I LET THE MURDERER GO. I The prison stands upon a little elevated Stretch of ground, its tall trees and trim green yard contrasting with the dreary bar- renness of the low sage-brush covered hills, which lie about it in all directions. Young Paddock who had been sent by his paper to report anything of interest concerning Cran- dall's escape, drove up over the dusty road and alighted at the front barred doors. He found, to his disappointment, that the -warden and his posse were still out on the hills, and he sat down with a bored air on a bench in front of the low stone building to await their return. Paddook was almost dozing when a man in Stripes approached. "Mr. Jarrett wants to know, eir, if you'd care to see the men turned out in the yard?" They passed the outer gate, through the corridor, and then came to the tall -barred door through which the convicts pass after each meal. Here Jarrett joined them. He was a tall, burly man with great, heavy shoul- clers, a massive head and quick, keen eyes. "You see," Jarrett remarked, striding ahead of the reporter, "yard's a quarry guarded on three sides by natural stone walls. On the fourth—well, here's where Crandall had hidden his gun. Here's where he crept up the earth wall. Here's where my shot caught him, in the shoulder, I think. But the man's got the luck of Satan to back up his courage, for a general break of the men on this side followed. We settled them pretty, but Crandall-oh, what's the use of talkin' of these things? They jest hap- pened, and I'm blowed if I know who's to blame." He turned away swearing under his breath. "This was his garden?" Jarrett nodded. "It took him three months to get enough earth to make the bed on the rook, and winter had come by the time he'd managed to get it fenced in. But he took more pride in this bit of green. He knew every blade of grass, and not a bud could be picked without his noticin'. Course, none of the cons' would touch a thing, but we've visitors sometimes that haven't senseen-ougih sense to be out of gaol. Yon's the linnet Crandall trapped." He lifted the clumsily- fashioned wooden case from its place among THE vines, but nothing moved inside. Jarrett nodded understandingly. "Crandall set the bird looee before he made his break, I'll swear. Wish I'd aknowm if," 'he said to the young-man, after they had turned to re-enter the prison. "It's tough that the posse had left before I came. I'd like mighty well to get a look at the fellow." "Ho!" laughed Jarrett. "You'd like to be I-with the posse? Well, that'll be easy enough. Look yonder." He pointed towards the long, dusty, white road." There come some of them now. If they haven't got Crandall, and I'll bet the prettiest six-shooter you ever saw they haven't, you can join our party, which will leave in an hour or eo." They advanced to meet the group of men, who, still far off, threw out empty hands and fchook their heads discouragingly. "Why didn't ye bring him along," shouted Jarrett, grinnirg. But the men were worn out with their long tramps over the hills. Tired and sleepy, their aense of humour could not be counted upon. "Say Jarrett, warden says you're to join htm at the lower end of the Piute- Canyon. You're to bring two guards with you, and to start as Mr. Franks, comes back from town to take charge." "ThatT1 be in half am hour. All rigfot," he Hoddded to the man. who passed on wearily. "Now," be continued, turning to Paddock, do you really want to come?'' Do I?" "Well, take a little lunch in a big hurry, gft our guns—I'll show you that new one- and start." The sun was setting when they reached Piute Canyon. "We've got him this time," were the white- haired warden's first words, his fine, benevo- lent face glowing with triumph. "He camped on this very spot last night. Burne and Davig are out now. If they don't find him you and I'll do the business, Jarrett." He threw back his handsome beard, smiling pleasantly. "Well, Jarrett, you, Wilson, Bennett, and this young fellow, if he wants to, come along with me. They took the trail up the moun- tain. We'll just climb over the hill yonder. "•i the other side the brush is thick, with the Itil towards Hatton'S ranch not far off. rhere we'll find Crandall, if I'm not much nistaken." Soon they were ready. The warden's ea- ihnsiasm had communicated itself to his com- )arbio-na. Jarrett examined his new long revolver lovingly, for "Orandall isn't the man o go back for life without a fight." Wilson And Bennett marched on GRIMLY, watching every bush, and Paddock followed in a whirl of excitement. Jarrett's rifle, which the reporter had taken for a moment while the former examined his pistol, he held unconsciously now with a Arm grasp. His nerves were so Btrange the slightest noise came to him like a. shock. When Jarrett touched him upon the shoulder to tell him that the warden had called halt, he jumped nervously. Jarrett's lips curled beneath his hPaY, dark red mosrtache Under cover of the darkness he did not try to conceal the gleam of contempt in his email, keen eyes. "We'l'e hot on the trail," he whispered to Wilson. "Warden, Bennett, and I'll go down the ravine. He"—pointing to Paddock—" had better stay here with you while you watch. He'll do less damage here than with us. A bot from us or from you'll be the signal that Crandall'S found." He had opokeu with his mouth close to the jtuwd's ear. Wilson and Paddock «too4 to- silence, wsetoh- izig until the warden's party had disappeared. For a long time they waited, expecting every momnt to hear the signal. Th? young man's nervous trembling had passed away. He was eager for the conflict. The other sentiment had vanished. With a nod to the guard the young man turned and climbed to the top of the hill. Far down a glimmer of light from the broad moon tipped the shining barrel of Jarrett's pistol, which doubtless he held cocked in his hand. The warden and his two men were creeping cautiously along. Paddock stood. awhile. Then rounding a tarn in the twisting trail suddenly he came upon the murderer crouched behind a great rock, his eye bent upon the same gleam or steel that had attracted Paddock's attention. "Throw up your hands," Paddock com- manded, his young voice vibrating with triumph. Suddenly, remembering -Jarrett's rifle, which he had forgotten in his excitement, he covered the man before him. Surprised at the unexpected assault in the rear, the man jumped, turned, bent for his gun-then obeyed. The defiance in his haggard face yielded to a despairing consciousness of defeat. But as the young man's eyes met those other smouldering, haunted ones only the rifle's length away, suddenly his other self awoke. Gradually his ordinary point of view presented itself. He had intended to be simply a spectator. What personal official resentment had he to gratify? His most powerful feeling as they stood there facing each ottyer was one of astonishment to find himself in such a position. He shifted the rifle. Crandall looked at him inquiringly. The young man reddened with embarrass- ment. He laughed shortly, confusedly, lowered his rifle, and walked off, leaving the convict still standing, one hand above his head, almost petrified with astonishment. Suddenly awaking from his amazement to the danger of his position, Crandall glanced quickly to either side. Then he made for the brush, and disappeared.

For Women Folk I HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES I To prevent rugs curling up at the corners, directly a rug is bought bind it on the under edge with stout holland or furniture webbing.

Passing Pleasantries I "This is strange," commented a cynic perusing the newspaper advertisements— "here is a firm selling boots actually made of leather!" "Indeed," said a fellow-cynic, "I dare say the next sensation will be a dairy selling milk obtained from cows!" "Phyllis," cried an enamoured youth in- tensely, "will you think of me when I have gone?" "Well," replied his fair but weary com- panion, glancing at the clock, which indi- cated 11.15 p.m., "I'll try directly I have an opportunity!" "Father," protested little Alfred, "I don't want to go to school!" "But, my son," said his parent, a success- ful pickle-maker, "don't you want a good education?" "No, father," replied the young one, "I'd rather grow up to be just like you!" A donkey was being landed recently from the little London and North-Western steamer plying between Warren point, County Down, and Greenore. "When are you taking him to the races?" inquired a would-be wV- of the man who received the animal. "I'm waiting for the rest of you!" was the reply.

SPRINGBOKS' ADIEU. I WELSH BATTLE CRIES RAISED The Fatal Field of Cardiff. There were the merriest and liveliest fare- wells IOn Saturday, when the sporting Spring- boks left Southampton for Cape Town, Home, and Beauty. For one solid hour (says the Morning Leader"), a very pleaeant and melodious pandemonium reigned serene and triumphant on the dock side. The Springboks operated from the deck of the good ship Norman; the crowd from the wharf side. When the Springboks emerged rosy and refreshed from lunch, and lined the side of the liner, their astonished ears were greeted with a, Welsh battle cry which they had last heard on the fatal flela of Carcaff. Stretched before them were row upon row of the students at Hartley College, many of them staunch Welshmen. Thej chanted battle cries, hymns 'of praise, and Welsh dirges. The appearance of Marsburg. the wonderful full-back of the Springboks, whose heart-in- the-mouth daring has had such a marked effect upon the gate receipts, was the signal for a change in tactics. As one voice, the students howled in joyful unison: "What's the matter with Marsburg?" "He's all right!" Who's all right?" "Why, Marsburg's all right! I He Almost Blushed For one dreadful moment it seemed as thought Marsburg had blushed, but, reoover- ing himself with an effort, he clutched hold of Raaf, the giant of the team, and whis- pered something to him. Five seconds later Raaf lifted up a voice like a damaged fog- horn, and bellowed three times, eharp and stacca/to: sta4ccato Ece Mylio Ghee Wah! And faithfully, three times, tihe Springboks echoed him in hideous and reverberating chorus. This time it was the students who were a trifle abashed; but not for long. There was a hurried consultation, and then, lo! a marvellous imitation of the Springboks' war cry itself. Flushed with victory, they then sang an entirely new version of Mary had a Little Lamb." It was a more up-to-date rendering of that simple melody, and it tickled the Springboks vastly. There were about 900 verses, and the chorus, towards the end, ap- peared to 'be taken up by the entire popula- tion of Southampton. Then Paul Roos, most unwillingly, was dragged forward by his fellow footballers in response to the urgent invitation of the stude,nt,s. "We want Paul Boos!" But Paul Roos didn't want, because he happened to be dreadfully embarrassed by all these demon- strations. The result was that he could only bob his head, smile broadly, and say many more times than was really necessary, I thank you very much." k The Ladies Wept Bitterly Then the Springboks obliged with Rain- bow," whereat several pretty ladies, who were seeing them off, wept bitterly. This was a direot cue for the students, who at once sang charmingly, "Sigla no more, la,dies," with its famous consolatory line, Men were deceivers ever." Then followed more staccato chanting in this vein:— Did the Springboks beat England? No! Did they beat Wales? Yes!! Did they beat Cardiff? No! Did Cardiff beat them? Yes! I Paul's Parting Message The best advice I can give to young men (said Paul Roos to a Daily Express man) is that they should play up and play the game in life AS well as in sports. "Very little can be done at anything with- out faith, energy, and fairplay. A man's con- duct off the field may be judged by his con- duct at play. "You may give this message to your readers who are interested in us:— We have been treated in England in a real British fashion, and whether we won or loet, our friendly opponents have always treated us in the fairest and most sports- manlike spirit. We have made many good friends, and have had a royal welcome everywhere. I cannot discuss the English play, or go in,to such matters, for I have made it a strict rule during the tour not to attempt any criticisms."

Swaying Through Weakness! Could Not Walk Without Support. Wasting Away, White & Bloodless. Her Shattered Frame Painridden. Birmingham Girl Worker Cured by DR.WILUAMjTPINK PILLS Few people living outside Birmingham know that millions of the cartridges used in the South African war were made by delicate, paJe-faced girl workers. I often sighed when packing the cart- ridges, for I thought of the lives they would destroy." The speaker was -Miss Ethel Aston, of 198, Witton-lane, Witton, Birming- ham, who continued, And since then I have learned by painful experience HOW PRECIOUS IS LIFE. When first I began to feel ill," she stated, "I was languid, miserable, and dull; my appetite gradually fell away, and I lost all energy. Everyone told me I was growing dreadfully anaemic, and certainly my face grew so bloodless and haggard that I started when I caught my reflection in the mirror. Though I felt so utterly weary all day, yet I could get no sleep at night. Restless and tormented I often waJked the floor for hours. Dull, heavy pains seized me across my shoulders, and my legs became so weak that my body often swayed ominously and weighed me down. I really tried to eat, but the least bit would give rise to nausea and agonising pains in my chest, back, and stomach. After months of this intense suffering I got up one morning with my throat alarmingly inflamed. This was followed by a terrible cough, which caused awful pains to shoot through my shattered frame. Every attempt to force myself to take food was followed by a choking sensation; I could not breathe without a wheeziness, and my voioe became hoarse and finally failed me entirely. My hands and feet were blue and cold, and my livid face lost all expres- sion, while I became so ill and weak that I could not walk without support. I had to give up work, but, though rest was impera- tive. the lack of something to do so preyed upon my mind that I became hysterical and nervous; at the least noise I shrank with horror. A heavy, depressing pain on my forehead and down the back of my neck made me woefully dull and irritable. Doctors were consulted, but the medicines prescribed appeared to me of little or no good. I then tried a change of climate, but returned home not a scrap better. With all my strength gone and my body emaciated, little wonder that I gave up hope of ever being well. Then a final chance oocurred to me. I had read of many wonderful cures effected bry Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided to give them a trial. Although my stomach was so weak that I could not retain medicine, still I sent for a box. I found that after taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I could retain and derive benefit from food. When I had finished two boxes the paillB in my head vanished. My system gave unmistakable signs of new blood flowing through my veins. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were a good friend to me at a time when I seemed to have broken down permanently. They have been the means of making me a strong, vigorous gi-rl agn-in, and to-day I can claim my full share of health and strength, and do my d3õ"s work easily Wasting away through sheer scarcity of blood is the deplorable state to whioh thousands are drifting to-day, yet there is evidence on all sides that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, by their wonderful power of supplying abundant Rich, Red Blood to starved veins, have cured repeatedly in both sexee Anaemia, General Weakness, Indigestion, Eczema, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Neuralgia, St. Vitus' Dance, Paralysis; for Ladies' Ailments they are indispensable.

MERTHYR A.R.S. LEAGUE. The newly forrwd MerthyT League commenced operations on Monday last. It consists of fourteen clubs, the area extending from Dowlais to Abercynon. There is erery prospect of the movement being a com- plete success. Fourteen matches were shot last week, the feature of the wee* being the fine shooting of the Gordon Lennox Boys from MerthyT Vale, cap- tained by the veteran, Jim Ball. Scores of S54 and 352 are very good. The Lambs, too, have been in fine trim, making 344 and 346. The Lambs Y. Ivors on the latter's range was most exciting, the result being in doubt up to the last shot, when the result came out as Lambs, 346; Ivors, 345. The Mardy v. Cefn was also exciting, Mardy just getting home by one point. The only clubo to annex full league points last week were the Lambs, Gordon Letmox, and the AI.E.T.'a. Some of the clubs have been suffering from "league fright," and will do far better as they go on. Sid Medal has not been won yet. The visit of Bull's Eye's" team to Merthyr on the 23rd is being looked forward to with much pleasure. Mertiiyr promises himand the team a hearty jwtoome, and a goal notch.

I Air Rifle Shooting. RHONDDA LEAGUE GOSSIP & TABLES By "BULL'S EYE." -I The visit of the Cardiff team to the Miskin on Tuesday last had been eagerly an/tici- pated by the Rhondda clubs, who were anxious to see how a picked team from their league would shape against some of CardiS"a best shots. The arrangements for the match w?re perfect, and, although there was a packed audience, some 300 being present, strict silence and order were main- tained throughout the shooting. Air. Fell had got a very fine team together, all his men being the pick of the averages of the lea,gue. Contrary to the Ca-rdiff mode of firing, the match was shot in batches of six, the Rhondda being the first to toe the line. They put up 176, A. Grimths amd T. Roberts get- ting Y-1. an d F. Hi I I reaohin g 30. Cardiff started off well, Joe Knott, C. Griffiths, and A. Day, and first three men on, getting 32 each. Dan Davies got 30, and Cardiff led by four. Rhondda looked like doing better the second half, their first two men, W. Evans and .T. D. Jones, giving them a good lead with 32's. The other four fell away, and their second I half totalled one less than their first, the final total being 361. This left Cardiff 172 to win. Tom Jo-nes and Walt Wills got 33 each, and Preston and Gronow finishing with 31'fI, Cardiff won by twelve points with a grand total of 363 to 351. After the match a musical programme was gone through, W. J. Roes. Tonypandy, who is locally known as "The Rhondda Comedian," being very well received. The marksmanship in Thursday's league matches was the beat. yet seen in the league. The shooting all round showed great im- provement, and a few exciting finishes were seen. Some of the younger clubs, notably the Conservatiyes and the Park, are coming to t,he front rapidly, and will cause trouble to the leaders when they meet. The match between Court and Tynewydd was exciting up to the last shot, Court just winning by a single point. The "Tally" boys were in fine form, Lloyd and Bishop being the best of a good twelve. Thompson, Emlyn, and Hammond were Tynewydd's best with 30's. Another close finish, saw Frankie's Pets go under to the New Inn by three points. Campbell gave his men a good eend-off with 33, and the rest of the team gaining confi- dence from this, every man shot well. Roberts, Howells, Rees, T. D. Jones, and James all shot well for 30. The Conservatives' score of 345 is the highest for the week, and gave them an easy win over the Excelsiors. Moore put up 33, followed by Griffiths with 31. The shoot- ing of the Excelsiors was poor, 29 being their highest. Miskin won eaisily from Halfway, the latter only managing 311. Fells (32), Griffiths and Boyce (31) were best figures. Boyce, who is a reserve man, should be included in the team for Thursday next. White Rook did badly against the Park, only managing 320 against the latter's 343. The Park are the most improved team in the league. Some of their younger shots have made remarkable progress. B,-van was their "star" with 33, Abraham and Budge making 31. Campbell, Ross, and Evans were the pick of the Rocks. Pioneers had. an easy win over the Colliers, Alexander's boys being right off form. Lewis's 33 was the Pioneers' best, J. Davies following with 31. "Alex." should take hia YOUN^ shots in hand and instruct them a little. The report of the Royals and Prides of the Valley is not to hand. The Royals' secretary is very lax in this respect, and is at present under a fine for not complying with the league rule in forwarding reports of the ma,t-cheis-to the If'1,E''11'' RP^RPTNRV SWA-NSEA LEAGUE TABLE.

When the teams engaged to-night. first met on October 5, there was a great disparity between some of them, a few of the matches being runaway affairs. Not so to-nigtit, though shooting has improved since, and notably Cadoxton, Adaiofidowa, Corporation, and Central Con- servatives hare made big strides in the total aggre- gates. I am of opinion that • to-night we shall Bee good scoring and close finishes in every match. The league leaders meet Splott Conservatives on the latter's range. Their previous meeting ended in faYour of the Atlas by fourteen points, the scores being 358-344. Splott are determined that if they cannot win, they will at least push the Atlas to their utmost, so we may look for high. scoring. The Con- seuative6 are a good t-m, bu t they are nat the consistent twelve that the "A's" are, and I think the latter wlil win. An interesting match, and one in which I think the verdict of the first meeting may be reversed, is that between Grange Conservatives and Cadoxton. If Oadoxton repeat Friday's performance they will win. Adamedown are now a strong team, and will push too Windsors hard for the points. Oddfellows are at home to Ely, and on present form the Elyites should win. York are too strong for the Napier, and ought to win by anything over a dozen. Lansdowne meet the London Style on the btter.s range. Six points separated the teams when they last met, the Styles being the victors. A close finish may see the tables turned to-night. Duke of York are doing none too well. They improved their aggregates }ast week, and wiU need to keep it up to-night against the Corporation. If the Corporation have a full team out they will win. Central Conservatives go to the Loyals. The New- portains, who have not won a match this half, should do so to-night. Canton Liberals may aocount for the Stags.

Courageous Old Man. CAPTURE OF .TWO BURGLARS AS EXERCISE AN extraordinary account of the desperate and gruccessf-ul STRUGGLE of a m-an of 85 with two burglars was given at the assize courts in Paris on Saturday. M. Van der Nest, who livee next door to Baron Rotbwhild at Boulogne-sur-Seine, was sleeping alone in his house, when he was awakened by the noise made by two burglars. In spite of hie great age, he got out of bed, suatrfied up two revolvers, and met the burglars at the top of the staircase. The old man fired, wounding one of the burglars. He then flung the other weapon in the face of the other man, and imme- diately dashed at him. In the course of the desperate struggle which followed the old man was badly knocked about, but when neighbours, who heard the nodee, arrived they found him sitting- on one burglar and holding the other down by the hair. M. Van der Nest had twenty-two severe bruises on his head and faoe, inflict,ed with a "life- preserver. In the court the old man, who was warmly complimented by the judge, declared that he suffered no i U-effeots from his encounter• Except for a little deafn6, he had never been bettr in his life. "I think the excise did me good," he added.

CARDIFF'S MILK SUPPLY. Vital Importance of Purity The vital importance of a pure milk supply was dealt with by Dr. J. C. Bowie in a lecture to the Cardiff Independent Labour Party yes- terday, and as far as the city of Cardiff is concerned he showed how suoh a desidera- tum could be ensured. Dr. Bowie suggested that every churn of milk brought into Cardiff should be taken to a central depot, such ae the fish market, where it could be examined and samplffltaken by qualified inspectors. To assist the suc- cessful working of this SYSTEM, he would have every dairyman and farmer supplying the city with milk registered. He said that the efficient inspection of milk was just as important as, if not more so than, the inspection of. meat, for the milk from tuberculous cows contained a poison, apart from the germp, which boiling could not eradicate, and which was most harmful to health. Dr. Bowie would have it brought within the power of the Cardiff City Council (and other public bodies) to have every cowshed and oow from which milk is supplied to the city brought under the surveillance of its officials, and with proper devotion to duty impure milk should become a thing of the past. For the efficient execution of this work he sug- gested the appointment of a. veterinaxy inspector.

DEFENDED HIS PARENTS I Wounding Charge Collapses I A young labourer, named George WalkeT, of 2, Bock-street, Swansea, was charged at Swansea Police-court with wounding James M'Carthy with a knife on Saturday night. Prosecutor said that he went to the house to fetch his clothes, when the prisoner picked up a table knife and stabbed him in the face. Prisoner's father and mother declared that prosecutor violently assaulted them both and beat the prisoner. The mother said they were in bed when prosecutor came to the door. She opened it. He knocked her down, kicked her, and beat her, hit her husband with a knuckle-duster, and would have killed the lot of them if her son had not interfered. Prisoner's wife, who lived in the house, was so afraid of him that she ran out of the house in her night-dress with her baby. Prosecutor's injuries were probably received by falling against a box in struggling with prisoner. The case was dismissed. John M'Carthy, of the same address, charged with drunkenness and assaulting the police and smashing windows, was fined 10s. or seven days

AN EDUCATED THIEF I Charles Rees, a fireman, was charged at Swansea to-day with stealing a pair of boots from 23, Wind-street, Swansea, the property of Mr. C. J. Dunn, outfitter. Prisoner, in a very well written appeal, said that he had been in Notley Military Asylum, and at times was affected in the same way still. It had had the effect of making him destitute. He asked the bench to do some- thing for him. He had been convicted twice previously for stealing boots. The Chairman said prisoner's letter showed him to be an educated man, and they were sorry for him. They sent him to gaol for one month.

AN EX-POLICE COURT MISSIONARY I SOME OF HIS TRIALS AND HARDSHIPS. I Mr. Cuthbert Shepherd, of Kemnure, Lan- caster-gardens, Southend-on-Sea, is an earnest evangelist, who until lately was engaged in the trying work of a police-court missionary for the Rochford Hundred of Essex. His arduous and exacting duties some time ago told upon his health, and he became a victim to constipation. That he is now strong and well again is due entirely to bile beans. "At times I hardly knew what to do with myself," Mr. Shepherd told a Southend journalist. "If I was not in acute pain I was very drowsy, and my work was extremely irksome. i had acute pains in the head, which prevented me from sleeping, and when I did manage to lose ooncciousnese my slumber was so heavy that when I woke I felt weary and unrefreshed. "Cycling and walking had been two of my favourite pursuits, but I was unable to take any interest in either. I had always been a hearty eater, but often I had a positive dis- taste for food, and after every meal there was a fresh attack of the pains in the head and the drowsy feeling that almost incapaci- tated me. I tried all sorts of remedies, but I could discover nothing to give me perma- nent relief until I was persuaded to try bile beans. Within a short time after commencing with bile beans a feeling of renewed life came into me, such as I had not experienced for many years. The pains and drowsiness vanished, refreshing sleep took the place of restless nights, and I could eat and enjoy my food. I continued with bile beans until I was quite free from those conditions that had before so severely handicapped me. I am now in perfect health. Being so well known through my public work as a police-court missionary and a lay evangelist, I feel that the great benefit I have derived from bile beans might lead to the same good being derived by others who are suffering, so I give the bile bean co. full permission to use my testimonial for this end." Be guided by Mr. Shepherd's experience; see that you get the genuine remedy. All chemists stock Bile Beans, at one-and-three- bstlf-pence per box, or two-and-ninepence for family size, containing three times the quan- tity. e9548

I FORTUNATE ESCAPE Two Birmingham canal boatmen had an exciting experience early yesterday morning. They were ta-king their boat towards WalsaJl, but in the darkness they had not noticed that it had been gradually filling with water, and, without any warning, it sank. Two men who were in the cabin had a very narrow escape. Their cries for help were heard by a lock-keeper, who ran to their assistance, and by means of a boat shaft succeeded in rescuing them. They were in a very exhausted condition when removed from the water.

TWICE TRIED The Common SERGEANT (Mr. Bosanqnet, K.C.), at the Old Bailey on Saturday, passed a sentence of three months' hard labour upon Maurice Joel, an auxiliary sorter at the General Post Office, convicted of stealing a. postal packet addressed to a soldier at Gibraltar, containing a metal watch, a pre- sent sent by his sweetheart. Joel was tried before the Recorder earlier in the week, but the jury disagreed, one of their number expressing the view that no prisoner ought to be convicted on circum- stantial evidence.

THREE BURIED TOGETHER A triple funeral took plaoe at Plumstead Cemetery on Saturday, three children of a, family Tmmed Thome being laid to rest in the same grave. Two of them were twins, a,g,ed three years and nunc months, and the third was an infant of thirteen months. About six years ago the parents (who are prominent Salvationists) buried two children on the same day.

I ROBBED AT POLICE COURT An enterprising thief slipped into the room of the court missionary at Marylebone Police-court during Mr. Kirby's absence and stole the missionary's overcoat, a dark grey one. If the thief realised how many poor and unfortunate outcasts Mr. Kirby has helped he would, one would nope, contri^ tely return the ooat.

HE WAS A TEETOTALER I Man Who Looked for Himselfl Councillor Tom Coward related an extra- ordinary experience a-t a, banquet at Llan- gollen. He said that he returned home one evening after a particularly busy day, and after his wife retired to rest he remained in the sitting room reading for some considerable time. He went upstairs with a lighted candle and asked, Where is Tom? He declares he heard no answer and remarked, It is time he returned." He then retraced hie steps downstairs, but could not find himself! He finally went to bed, and next morning his wife questioned him as to his strange conduct, and said he stood scratching his head in confusion in the bedroom. He could not account for his behaviour and consulted a medical man, who solved the puzzle by saying'that one-half of his brain was dormant while the other half was active. Such a case was not unknown in the medical world. Mr. Coward reminded the meeting that he was a teetotaler.

RECORD MARRIED LIFE Wllat is believed to have been the longest duration of married life existing in England was terminated by the death of Mr. Robert William Crocker, at Taunton, on Saturday. In August last he and his wife celebrated the seventy-second anniversairy of their wedding. Their united ages totalled 191 years, while. the average of themselves and their four liifng children was over 76 years. Mr. Crocker, who was formerly a farmer a-t Wayford, near Crewkerne, and was 97 years old, had a distinct recollection of the rejoicings after Waterloo and other events of a-bout 90 years ago.

SEVEN CATS BY A DEATH BED The East London coroner held an inquest a few days ago on an elderly woman, named Hazlett, who was found dead, in her bed at 7, Elder-square, Spitalfields, with seven Per- sian oats "keeping guard" round her. The manageress of the London Institute and Home for Lost and Starving Cats on Satuir- day applied to the, coroner, for the address, so thart. she migbt send for the oata and provide a good home for them.

CAUSTIC CITY FATHERS I Councillor Sessions in Doleful I Grange The Cardiff city fathers were oaugtio4 this morning. Mr. A. Sessions moved the council that the enginkc-r report upon the lighting of Oorporat-ion-road. "I will give you a, per- sonal experience, gentlemen," said Mr. Ses- sions. "I had been to a meeting at the I Baptist Cha.pel there, and was standing by a car stopping-place, but could not see it, and it had to be pointed out to me." This innocent bit of information brought forth an alarming cannonade of queries, such as "Where had you been, Sessions?" and What was the time, Sessions?" Mr. Sessions was quite upset by the curiously close interest which everyone seemed to have at once evinced in his movements. Worse still, his motion was not carried, but Alderman Carey, chairman of the lighting committee, gave some re-assuring information as to the intentions of the committee with regard to the lighting of certain parta of Grangetown.

WARNING TO THE UNEMPLOYED I The rumours that the White Staj and other steamship lines are likely to partially aban- don their present headquarters in favour of Southampton, and that the latter port may be largely extended, have led to a large influx of labonrers, with tiheir wives and families, in search of work. There are at present, however, at Soutih- ampton far more workers than tJhose for whom work can be found, and as much, of the labour proposed to be employed shortly will be of a skilled character, casual workers cannot hope for an engagement. As to the dock extensions, the Southampton Harbour Board is to meet to-morrow, when the full official plans will be laid before the board.

CITY ALLOTMENTS CONDITIONS Mr. J. T. Richtards at Cardiff City Council to-day referred to the parks committee's recommendation of new conditions for letting the plots at the Ca,nton and Leckwiith-rotad allotments, and suggested that the matter be referred back. Mr. J. Obapppll consented to the Sloper-roaxi cases going back for re-consideration,

Is soap. worth fussing with? Fussing with soap means taking pains, using it right. Does it pay? Does it pay to fuss ? To save coal through not boiling the clothes ? To do away with that objectionable steam smell in the house all wash- day? To do the wash in half the time and with half the work? To save a lot of clothes mending. In fact to do that commonplace job, the wash, in the most scientific, sanitary and modern way.
