On My Travels. r i Yes! You, who they call one of the knuts." If you will I will. Will what? Keep it quiet. But look here, the next time you take her for a week-end carry her bag. It was disgraceful to see her struggling up the steps at C-ff on Monday morning. Perhaps you did not bargain to do the carrying and the paying, but being a knut you should- must. I heard her say so. Between this station and that station the commercial traveller from Tre- cvnon had his head out of the window the whole of the time. I hear he is now laid up with a bad cold. Silly fellow. You from Mountain Ash, you must have enjoyed yourself. And as I heard you say, There are better Cinemas at Cardiff than there are up the hills." You were very silly to give the show away, but I would not have told any one that you only had twopence, so you couldn't go in. That accounts for your coming home so early. Three half-penny swank, I don't think all that is needed. I know the seats are a little dusty. I think it would be a better plan to have the silk handker- chief sewn to your trousers. It would save the fuss which takes place each morning in the carriage. Your nick- name is, "Mind your trousers." Are you aware of it? Oh! say so. Do you mean to say I look better than my photo? Yes, of course, you do. He only had the ones 6 for sixpence. Oh! say so.
..,.. ------------Business…
Business Corner. HINTS TO SHOPKEEPERS. If you are about to take a place of business you should consider it from many points of view. If you have small capital and no intimate knowledge of any business, and you are about to em- bark in the exchange of commodities for cash in order to obtain an honest livelihood, unless you start with proper precautions and judgment your capital will be expended without adequate re- sults. Rent and taxes will accumulate; the stock will lie dead or become de- teriorated, and the consequence will be loss and ruin. It is just the same in the case of a larger capitalist. For it is probable that on commencing business he would speculate more of his money in larger stocks; would incur liability of heavier rent and the attendant taxes; the wages of assistants and servants would be greater; and should the returns not come speedily similar consequences to those in the case of the small capi- talist would sooner or later ensue. Localities.—Before entering upon a speculation in shop-keeping, consider well the nature of the locality in which you propose to carry on the trade; the population; the habits and wants of the people, and the extent to which they are already supplied with the goods you propose to offer them. Small capitalists have the tendency to rush into new neighbourhoods with the expectation of making early connection. Low rent also serves as an attraction to these localities. General experience tends to show that the early suburban shop seldom succeeds. In these districts you will find shops opened, even while the streets are unpaved, and while the roads are as rough as country lanes. The few inhabitants of these localities have frequent communication with adjacent centres of business, and have their chief wants supplied by such. So the newly- arrived shopkeeper has to depend largely upon the fprgetfulness of his neighbour, who omits-to bring something from the cheaper and better market, or upon the changes of the weather, which may sometimes favour him by rendering a trip to town" exceedingly undesirable. You should remember that While the grass is growing the steed is starving," and thus while the new districts are being peopled the funds of the small capitalist are gradually being eaten up. You should be very cautious in opening in suburban districts. It seems, there- fore, desirable for the small capitalist rather to run the risk of a more ex- pensive rent in a well-peopled district than to resort to places of slow and un- certain demand. The welfare of the small shopkeeper depends entirelv upon the frequency with which his limited stock is turned over and replaced with new supplies. Of course, there are many advantages that can be looked upon in opening up in business in a suburban district. Competition is less severe, and rents and rates less burden- some, and yet there are many pre- cautions which it will be well to ob- serve.

The Reflector.
The Reflector. BY "HYPNOS." Fancy in mid-summer wearing an overcoat! I wouldn't have noticed it so much only his young lady was dressed in a cotton dress. What a contrast. Llwydcoed. That was rather a noisy lot outside a Trecynon pub. on Saturday evening. What was all the row about? What about the 5s bet? It isn't vaseline, it's dripping." A Cwmdare knut received such a lovely cigar by post the other morning from his young lady. But when be lit it, oh, lor', it was a dummy—I mean it wasn't real! On this occasion it did not end in smoke, but they tell me he let off some steam when he next saw her. Rather a windy day last week, T But, fancy, the wind being so strong as to blow away your cargo from the front of your shop. Who slept in the coal house all night?

Quite so, now I know what is on your mind, H of Llwydcoed. I couldn't help hearing you, but you shouldn't utter your thoughts aloud.

Mountain Ash Education Committee.
Mountain Ash Education Committee. And the Alleged Rape Case. There has been some speculation locally as to what action the Educa- tion Committee would take concern- ing Mr. W. Tiley, teacher at Abertaf School, who stands charged with raping Miriam Lewis, a girl 17 years of age, living at 39 Aberdare Road, Abercynon. We understand that the Committee held a private meeting one day this week, and discussed the matter pretty fully. The majority of the I members agreed that it -wo-Lild be best to postpone any action until the case would be heard at the Assizes. A motion to this effect was pro- posed, and it was unanimously car- ried.
Quarter Sessions.
Quarter Sessions. Local Cases, Prisoner Asks for the "Cat." At the Glamorgan Quarter Sessions 1 OIL Tuesday last Charles Welsh and William Mulford were brought up for trial on three charges of larceny and housebreaking at Hirwain on the 30th March last, from the shops of George Bishop, William Edwards and David Price. The Chairman (reading a letter from one of the prisoners) said that there was an appeal that the prisoner should be given the "cat" so as to shorten the period of incarceration in order that he might again start sooner to maintain his family. The prisoners were sentenced to nine months' hard labour on each charge to run concurrently. Mr. T. Walter Williams (instructed bv Mr. T. Marchant Harries, from the office of Mr. William Thomas) prose- cuted. Trevor Thomas was charged with stealing a mackintosh and overalls, the property of Henry Thomas Jones, of Penderyn, from Carmel English Bap- tist Chapel, Aberdare. where Jones was working on the 30th April last. Mr. Stanley Evans (instructed by Mr. T. Marchant Harries) prosecuted. The prisoner was sentenced to seven calendar months hard labour.

HIGHLAND PLACE. We are glad to note that the Rev. E. T. Evans, the newly-appointed minister of this church, is restored to health once" more and has returned to Aberdare. Mr Evans had a nervous breakdown a few weeks ago, and was obliged to give up preaching for a time. He is now, however, in his usual health, and will occupy Highland Place pulpit next Sunday. In his absence last Sunday the Rev. Cellan Evans, a student at Carmarthen College, preached. His morning sermon was based on Matt. v. 24, H First be reconciled to thy bro- ther, and then come and offer thy gift." We heard a good deal, said the preacher, of the rights of man, and ser- vants were constantly in conflict with masters and masters with servants con- cerning their respective rights. These were characteristics of the present time. There was so much emphasis. placed on the rights of man that we lost sight of the duties towards one another. In the text there were two duties pointed out. The first was reconciliation, and the other was worship; in other words the first duty was towards our fellow-man, and the second towards God. No Christian was free to choose which he should first perform. The first and second respectively, according to Jesus, were: Be reconciled to thy brother, and then go and worship God." It was absolutely necessary to perform the first before attempting the second. What was the cause of the bickerings and bad feeling between man and man? The fault lay in the fact that we had not mastered the simple duty of loving one another. We preferred quarrelling with each other about dogmas and creeds that we knew nothing about, instead of learning the simple lessons of repentance, humility, and truthful- ness. Jesus Christ never preached any dogma. A good life to him was more important than any creed. Practical Christianity was of more value than speculative Christianity. OBITUARY. As briefly announced in our last issue a very highly re- spected resident of Aberdare passed away on Tuesday, June 24th, in the person of Mrs Martha Morgan, wife of Mr At W. Morgan, tailor, 55 Monk Street. She was the daughter of Mr William Moses, Elizabeth Street, Some fifteen years ago the deceased went under a critical operation at uy's Hospital, London, which proved very successful, and restored her health up to two years ago, when she was t&ken ill again. She was a very faithtul member of Bethania Church since childhood. The husband, son, and daughter are left to mourn their loss. The interment took place on Saturday last at the Old Cemetery, Aberdare. The officiating minister at the house and graveside was the Rev. W. Davies, M.A., Hethania. assisted by the Rev.

Trecynon Man in Texas.
Trecynon Man in Texas. A Teacher Becomes Presbyterian Minister. A few years ago Mr. M. H. Arnold, son of Mr. J. B. Arnold, Trecynon, emigrated to Texas, America. Mr. Arnold was, while in this country, a member of the teaching profession, and for some time taught at the Park Schools, Trecynon. Since lie has gone to Texas he has, however, en- tered the Presbyterian ministry, in which capacity he has already made a mark, as the following extract from the "La Grange Journal," published in Fayette County, Texas, show's Commencement Sermon. Mr. M. H. Arnold delivered the commencement sermon to the gradu- ating class of 1913 of LaGrange High School, Sunday, May 25, at the Pres- byterian Church at 8.30 p.m. Promptly at that time, the gradu- ates, led by Prof. W. J. Kirk, en- tered the church, which then was filled to overflowing, and took seats reserved for them. The sermon it- self was such a brilliant effort, so full of truths and valuable advice for all, who were fortunate to hear it, that the writer was asked by the graduates to make a short synopsis thereof, which will be cherished by them as one of the dearest reminis- cences of the happy times they spent in the old LaGrange High School. The speaker chose the following verse for his subject-" Work out your own salvation with fear and treirjbling for it is God which work- eth in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." This subject he treated in a mas- terly way under five different head- ings, the first of which was that "we are heirs of all the past." In this he clearly showed that we are the gainers of past experiences. Of all that was found best and most bene- ficial in the past, we now reap the benefit, while everything objection- able is being rejected. This is true in science, politics, literature, thought, upbuilding of character, civics, in short, the school education now summarizes the past and gives us the best of its experiences. The young men and women, who have finished the course prescribed for our school, have been given the means how to best act in life and it is for them to make the best of what has been so carefully and diligently in- stilled into their minds."
