Full of Wind.
Full of Wind. One stormy day recently a school teacher, in assigning topics for an exercise in English composition, suggested that certain of the pupils might give their impressions of the weather. One of the little scholars was observed to gaze pensively out of the window for a long time before putting her pencil to paper. At last she undertook the irksome task, and in a second had completed her composition." When i-he handed it in the teacher was much surprised by the laconic but unconscious humour of it. The effort ran as follows :-— I The world is full of wind."

One Too Many.
One Too Many. A correspondent sends an amusing ex- perience of a literary friend into whose family a seventh child came last summer. The family were in the country, and for a time a good deal of the care of the other six children devolved upon the father, who has Spartan ideas as to the upbringing of his sons. One morning he carried his two-year-old to a stream near his home to give him a cold plunge. The child objected lustily to this proceeding, but was firmly held and ducked, notwithstanding. At the instant of the ducking, however, a brawny hand seized the Spartan fathel by his shoulder and flung him back, while the angry voice of the farmer, who was his nearest neighbour, reared in his ears Here, none of that I'll have the law on you for this And," said the literary man, it took me half-an-hour to convince that man that I was not trying to drown that child. Even then he wasn't wholly convinced. To the very last minute he kept on shaking his head sceptically and saying Well, I dunno about that. I dunno. You got six besides this'

Only Six Weeks and the festive season will be upon us. The Christmas Greeting Card is sometimes the only means by which we keep in touch with many old friends and relatives. An advertisement appears on the first page of this paper interesting to those who are wishful of providing them- selves with a supply of these tokens of remembrance; but time is going by, and the choice of patterns gets less as Christmas draws nigh.

SCRAPS.
SCRAPS. There were no League matches played on Saturday. Denbigh have now joined the League. David Hughea has signed on with the Rhyl 0 Church Guild. There is also a likelihood of several other local players signing on with Rhyl Clubs. Prestatyn are approaching several players 0 of repute from Mostyn and Holywell. No players from Gwaerysgor have yet signed on. The Prestatyn Ground has now been properly fenced out and looks well. The Concert in aid of the funds of the club will take place at the Town Hall on the 30th. Mr A. Cheetham has been engaged to give a 0 display of his Animated Pictures. Several other well known artistes have promised to assist. There should be a record house. John Love Jones, who for the greater part of last season played for Prestatyn, has been signed on by the Stoke F.C. £ 75 i& mentioned as the transfer fee. What a pity he did not stay on with the Blues a little longer C, It is likely that several of the Prestatyn players will be seen in the ranks of Rhyl Victoria when they appear at Prestatyn on the 18th. R. Hughes, Mostyn, and G. Glass will remain with their old Club the blues, in spite of the efforts of the Rhyl Clubs.
INFLUENCE OF IMAGINATION.
INFLUENCE OF IMAGINATION. Some people thoroughly enjoy tilts with local authorities. Any reason is good enough as a cause of complaint. But sometimes they rather overdo it. In this connection a story is told that a ventilating shaft to carry away the gases from the main sewer was erected near the house of a gentleman who lived in the suburbs of a large town. After a while that gentleman wrote to the District Council to complain of the obnoxious smells coming from the sewer through the ventilating shaft, and said that the odour was so obnoxious that his children were prevented from getting any recreation near the house. The Clerk's reply was brief but to the point. Dear Sir," lie wrote, the ventilating shaft has not yet been connected with the sewer"
TEMPERANCE IN WALES. -"
TEMPERANCE IN WALES. Mr J. Herbert Roberts, M.P., who is regarded as the leader of his countrymen in temperance matters, speaking at a demonstra- tion at Llanelly, said there should be united action upon a matter so seriously concerning the welfare of the Welsh people. Any influence which they could bring to bear upon Parliament could only be effectively exercised by all theWelsh constituencies acting together. It was neccesary to look in the direction of the House of Commons for temperance reforms, but they must also realise the constantly growing power of the Parliaments established in every county of the Prin- cipality, and reflecting the dominating con- victions of the people. United action was essential, and the temperance cause knew no party or denomi- nation. It was one of the few pnblic movements which, rightly conceived, would bind together church and chapel, and every class and section of the community—(applause) -by their common interest in the welfare of the community. Tolerant and conciliatory with regard to any difference of opinion which did not touch the main issues of their work, they should welcome with open arms the help of all who moved in their direction, and he hoped that, at no distant date, the general conferences upon the question in Wales would be attended by representative men from the ranks of the Church of England as well as from those of Noncon- formists, and from each of the two great parties in the State. -(Applause) Printed and Published by J. T. BURROWS, High-st.,Prestatyn, in the County of Flint.
