THE AVENGER. Grim Story of a North Wales Boy. I Tho" Avell-h Outlook tells the follow-] ing true story of a Welsh lad's deter- mination to avenge his brothers, killed in the war. The scene is Snowdonia :— My friend, who is a native of tho locality pointed to a cottage and said: Before the war a labourer reared in that cottage seven stalwart sons, tive of them have now lw(,n killed in the war, a sixth has been at the front in France for two years, and the seventh, a boy of 13, is about to join Uj). He is at home for a week before proceed- ing to Wrexliam." At the door cf the cot- tage stooo a rather handsome, well-built, merry-eyed lad, who greeted my friend ,with a smile and a nod. Mv friend asked him' in Welsh: When are you going, boy? "Nest Monday," he replied. ""Well, my lad," answered my friend, I wish you the best of luck." Instantly the merriment vanished from his eye6, and a wild, berce glare came into them. lie tightened his liixs as he replied If God will let me kill ten Germans, two for each of niv brothers. I don't care what will happen to nill afterwards."

LANDLORD DRUNK. I At Neath on Monday, John itavies, landlord of the Albert Inn, Windsor-roa4, was summoned for being drunk on hi? licensed premises. Mr. Matthew Arnold appeared for the defendant, and plea;ded not guilty. I P.S. David Evans spoke to visiting the Inn. In the two front rooms were young men and women playing cards and sing- ing. In the kitchen he saw the landlord on a couch vei-y drunk, and holding a half-pint measure of beer. When he drew the landlord's attention to his condition, he replied, You must excuse me to-day." Cross-examined by Mr- Arnold, witness admitted that on the kitchen door was printed Private."

Argument followed as to whether the kitchen was private, the Chief Constable contending that ii was used by the public for drinking purposes every day. The case was adjourned for a fortnight, I the Chief Constable to bring evidence to substantiate his statement.
