George Stapleton, of Tylorstown, who was remanded at Ton-Pent re Police Court on the charge of stealing some brass taps and plugs, the property of D. Davis and Sons, Ferndale, on the 24th of November, was again brought up. There were- previous convictions against him, and he was ordered to be sent to a reformatory for three years. REFUSED HIS ADDRESS. Henry Pully, Ferndale, was charged with being; drunk and disorderly. The officer giving evidence said he saw Pully on the road at Ferndale. He was almost helplessly drunk and was taken to' the station. When P.S.

William Jones, Tylorstown, a green- grocer's carter, appeared to answer the charge of throwing cabbage leaves on the road. An officer said he saw the defendant in Tylorstown Road in charge of a flat cart loaded with cabbages, and covered with a, canvas. Some of the cabbages falling off, defendant picked them up and threw the dirty leaves about the road. He was fined 10s. UNLICENSED BAGATELLE. Jessie Acts, Trehafod, proprietor of a < refreshment bar, was charged with using a bagatelle table without a license. Defendant said he did not charge for playing on it, and therefore thought there was no need for a license. 0 He was asked to pay the costs—7s. STEALIN G CLOTHING, ETC. John Jones, alias Julius Anson, re- manded from the last Porth Police Court, was charged with stealing a, pair of trousers, one Welsh flannel shirt, pair of stockings, and a purse containing Is. Id., to the total value of 2Gs., the property of Aaron Davies: and Morgan Emmanuel, Miskin Road, Trealaw, on Monday, 12th Sept. He came to the prosecutor's house to lodge, and stated he had been to sea for fourteen years. The defendant went to Cardiff with prosecutor's son-in-law. In the evening, the wife of prosecutor missed the clothing and her purse. The trousers belonged to Morgan Emmanuel, another lodger. A police officer stated that prisoner was wearing some of the stolen clothes when arrested. He was committed to the Quarter Sessions, and the witnesses bound over to appear for the prosecution. COAL STEALING Gladys Dickson and Edward Hicks, two. children, were charged by P.G. George Evans with stealing coal, to the value of 10d., from the Coedcae Tip, Trehafod, which is rented by Mr. Thomas Richards, coal merchant. They were fined 15s. each. JUVENILE DEPRAVITY. WHERE DOES THE BLAME LIE? A remarkable series of juvenile thefts came before the Bench, in which small boy,s of various ages were charged with breaking and entering the shop of Watkin Williams, Oak Street, Porth. The first case was that of two Porth schoolboys, Benjamin Williams and Comer Lewis, aged eleven and nine years re- spectively, who entered Mr. Williams' shop and stole a glass show bowl of sweets, value Is. 6d., on Sunday, 25th November. ''P.C. Protheroe, in giving t evidence, said that on the night in question lie con- cealed himself in the shop. The boys got in by attaching an handkerchief to a soring lock through the letter-box, and drawing back the bolt, thus opening the door. He. then jumped out and caught them. Another charge was also preferred against the same two boys, in company with another boy named John Walters, eleven years of age, who were summonea for a similar offence committed on the previous Sunday, when _12s. 6d, worth of cigarettes and Is. 6d. in cash was taken from the same shop. Two more boys named Donat Licharas and Alfred Hughes, together with the first three boys, were then charged with breaking and entering and stealing sweets to the value of 3s. on Sunday, November llth- The five boys, when arrested, pleaded guilty. The parents of the boys were called up to give an explanation of tho boys' con- duct, but were, unable to give any reason. The Stipendiary then asked them: Do you teach the boys at, home that it is wrong to steal? "Yes," was the reply. The Stipendiary: They do. not seem to pav much attention to your teaching." Supt. Cole said that this stealing had been going on for some time, and other boys were also involved. These offences were committed after Mr. Williams had left the premises for chapel on Sunday. The Stipendiary then remarked: It is inconceivable to me that boys of this age do this kind of thing. If there al'2 any ministers of religion_ m Court, commend this case to their serious con- sideration. I do not know what is the matter. There is something wrong in this district. Every Court young boys are had up for acts of thieving. This case is of a very serious character owing to the way in which entrance was effected to the shop, which showed that it was done systematically. I cannot stop it, but I think people who are responsible for the upbringing of these boys may do so if they choose." The defendants were then bound over for twelve months in the sum of 95, and the respective parents in the sum of £ 10 6 a, eh. SCHOOLBOYS AND BEER. Four Peixygraig schoolboys, named Evan J. Allen, David J. Tylor, James G. Tylor and Geo. O'Shea I were charged with stealing twelve pint bottles of Anglo- Bavarian beer, the property of Margaret Jones, Beer Stores, Penygraig, and valued 12s. 6d. P.C. Grubber man, in giving evidence, said that his attention was directed to the matter by seeing the boy David J. Tylor being carried home m a helpless state of drunkenness vomiting badly and unable, to speak. He made inquiries, with the result that he found they had been drinking bottles of beer. Some they had drank, and others they had wasted. He also knew that prosecutrix) had missed some bottles of beer from a casket in the stores. i The smaller. boys were dismissed, the Bench remarking that Tylor had pro- bably been sufficiently- punished by having experienced the unpleasant sensation of getting drunk. Allen and O'Shea were ordered to be detained in the cells until eight o'clock and to receive six strokes each of the birch. DRUNKS. John Williams, Blaenllechau, 15s. John Jones, Ynyshir, 10s.

Slander at the Assizes. Heavy Damages against a Penygraig Builder. On Thursday at the Glamorgan Assizes, before Mr. Justice Walton and a common jury, an action was brought by Mrs. Joan Griffiths, wife of Morris Griffiths, who lives at 52, Hendrecafan Road, Peny- graig, against William Lang, of 17, Bdmundstown, Penygraig, builder, for slander aii(I libel. Mr. Francis Williams, K-C., and Mr. St. John Williams were for the plaintiff. Defendant was not represented. Mr. Francis Williams said he under- stood defendant was not present. Never- theless it was necessary for the libel to be proved to the jury, so as to obtain a. verdict, and when they had heard the libels they would agree that a more gross and cruel defamation, or more malignant conduct could not possibly be imagined. Some 14 years ago-, plaintiff's husband went for the benefit of his health to South Africa, and at the time of the alleged libel he was also away. During Morris Griffiths' absence defendant was engaged in carrying on building operations at Penygraig, in which Morris. Griffiths and defendant were jointly interested. Defen- dant lived at plaintiff's house as a lodger before Mr. Griffiths went to South Africa, and continued to do so afterwards. In February, 1905, plaintiff, in the absence of her husband in South Africa, was obliged to order defendant to leave her house in consequence of alleged drunken- ness and disorderly behaviour, and on March • -5rd defendant, who. was illiterate, was alleged to have caused to be written a letter to plaintiff's husband, in which he made an accusation against paintiff, saying:— I have found out the reason why I had to leave your house, because I was in the way of Llewellyn, the farrier, who is entering your house between 3 and 4 in the morning. I am afraid your house is going wrong. You can find whisky and brandy in your wife's bedroom any time. There was a further insinuation that plaintiff had wasted or misspent her hus- band's money. A few days later he wrote a further letter in which he repeated the accusations. ifterirmrka.&ke Letter. on the it)tii Apru lie caused to be written piauitiu, vviiom ne actat esses- as juatfy juievv eny n, tile loilowilig J. am given to understand that your house is nothing but a bi-otiiej, ana you are uottung but an old hag, and x am airaid you are teaching your daughter in the same path. i was given to understand there were men staying the night there and you better be careful your house does not get smashed in by neighbours for the iiiaster holidays, if there is anything catched there. There have been many crimes committed through the business you and .Llewellyn are carrying on, but I hope that God will keep lVlorrur hands quiet, that dear old Morris will make iilewellyn and you stir when he comes. All the neighbours know how you are carrying on. Plamtitt was called. She said defen- dant had lodged in her house for 22 years. She went to South Africa before 1906 to her husband, and as defendant was an old friend, left the children in his care. On her return last year, a. dispute arose about, C,50 out of over L800 defendant had received to build houses for her and her husband, and defendant, gave way to drink so greatly that in February she had to turn him out of the house. Subse- quently she received the letters referred to from her husband. I Mr. St. John Williams: Now, is, there any truth of any sort in any of those letters r-No, sir. Miss Margaret Sarah Griffiths, daughter of pl aint jit, was called, and said that while left in defendant's charge, during plaintiffs' absence, his behaviour when under the influence of drink was so bad that Mr. and Mrs, Llewellyn had repeatedly to go to the house, Mrs. Llew- ellyn sometimes having to stay there. Thomas Harding, collier, of Penygraig, who wrote defendant's letters for him, said the letters in question were in his handwriting. He wrote them for defen- dant. Phillip Llewellyn, farrier, was asked by Mr. Francis Williams: Is there a word of truth in the suggestion of any im- propriety or anything approaching it between you and Mrs. Griffiths ?-Nothing at all. 4-100 Damages. The Judge advised the jury- to give such damages as would indicate their sense of defendant's conduct, but not to make them so excessive that they could not be paid. The jury returned a verdict for plain- i tiff, damages £100,

Penygraig Literary and Debating 1 Society. I The above Society were greatly dis-| appointed on Wednesday evening last owing to the Porth Y.M.O.A. not putting in their appearance for debate as arranged. Although a large number had come to- gether with the intention of giving Porth a warm time, the evening was spent in a most enjoyable manner. The president of the Society, the Rev. James Morris (Pisgah), suggested that every member should write a subject on a piece of paper, put it in a hat, and after shaking, speak- ing on his luck. This was unanimously agreed upon. Very able and interesting speeches were delivered, amongst whom were Mr. Owen Davies (vice-president of the Society), on Success Mr. Griff. J. Thomas, on Socialism"; Mr. S. Marshall, on Do we need a Criminal Court of Appeal? Mr. T. Edmunds, on Dignity of Life Mr. Rob Jones, on Rhagfarn Mr. Isaac Howells, on Does the keeping of a moustache tend to prevent toothache? Mr. Gwilym Rowlands, on The Evils arising from Amusements" and Mr. R. R. Davies, on Electricity." The Chairman, at the close of the meeting, said a few remarks to the effect that the Society ought to be proud of itself that it consisted of such able young men.

Ulcerated Stomach. Always in Pain. Youg Wife Cured by Bile Beans. The story related to a West Bromwich Chronicle reporter by Mrs. Eliza Potter, of 18, Long Square, Hill Top, West Bromwich, of how Bile Beans cured her of ulcerated stomach, speaks for itself. Said Mrs. Potter:—"In November, 1903, I became very seriously ill. I was so weak and in such great pain for many weeks that I gave myself up for death. I could not keep anything on my stomach, and was always in pain. I became so weak and worn that I was like a shadow. I tried several different doctors and went to a hospital, and they all said that I had an ulcerated stomach; but all the medicines they gave me did me no good, and I was more dead than alive. I could not touch bread, or any solid food, and had to live on milk and eggs. I was two-double' with pain, and could not hold myself straight. Every scrap of food I took caused me terrible pain. lf At last I was induced to try Bile Beans. Before I had finished the first box I went for a short walk. On my return I was able to eat the first bit of solid food I had taken for five months, and I had no pain after it. I continued taking Bile Beans, and very soon I was able to eat without fear of pain, and to retain food on my stomach. Gradually my strength returned, until I was strong and vigorous again. Two years have gone by since Bile Beans cured me, and I have not again been troubled with my stomach." Of all chemists at lIlt or 2/9 per box. Bile Beans are not seld loose or out of jars.

J CLEANSING THE HAIR.

J CLEANSING THE HAIR. Constant washing is a wearisome remedy and does not materially mend matters, says the Tatler A good cleansing lotion may, however, be used daily with advantage, and there is no better method of application than with a. small brush several sizes larger than a tooth brush. If the condition of the hair should be so dank as to make dressing it a matter of difficulty a little powdered orris root and toilet powder should be sprinkled on the centre parting and vigor- ously and thoroughly brushed out again, The samo simple and efficacious form of dry shampoo may be also resorted to when the hair has become very greasy and an ordinary r,harnpoo is for the time being impracticable. If the former method is carefully carried out the resulting effects will be most beneficial to t- hair. The best way of cleaning black cashmere is to plaoe the dress or goods in strong borax water, made lukewarm: let it remain in soak all night, then take out and hang on a line to dry, and, when dry, press off. Do not rinse or wring,
