,c"1o';< "'j "=S"l"='c, AMERICAN" HUMOUR. TI-IE GOOSE AND THE PHILOSOPHER. Once upon a time there was a famous Philo- sopher, who owned a Goose which laid each day a large oval egg worth three cents in the nearest egg market. The Guo.se was a; great pet of the Philosopher's, and he was perfectly happy and contented with his/possession, until" he suddenly made the discovery that the fcod eaten by the Goose was costing him four cents daily. Here was a constant drain on his resources which in the course of time threatened to bankrupt him, and the unfortunate philosopher nearly worried himself into an untimely crematory in vainly trying to think of some way to remedy the leak. In his despair he sought an old Farmer and begged his advice in the matter. Turn the Goose out to grass,"• said the Far; ;er. "I have no grass plot," replied the Philo- sopher. "I have no grass plot, -rep,'Iecl the Philo- sopher. Then cut off. the Goose's head and the feed hills ,along with it," advised the Farmer. I "Sensible advice," said the Philosopher, "and it is a wonder I didn't think of it myself long ago." The next day the Philosopher dined on Roast Goose and a few hours later the Feedman re- ceived a note running, Don't send me any more goose fodder. I have already picked tlie Goose and eaten her." MORAL. Philosophy is all well enough in its way, but for hitting the nail on the head in practical, avery-day questions, the sledgehammer of expe- rience beats the gavel of theory every time. POETICAL. College Student: "Roses are red, violets are blue; send me ten dollars and I'll think of you." Loving Father: Some roses are red, others pink; enclosed find ten dollars, I don't think! » --Red Hen. METEMPSYCHOSIS. A chicken-li-red, a. chicken died; Its drumstick and its wing were fried, Its feathers by a dealer dried, And, very shortly after, dyed. Soul it had none. Admitting that, How comes it? There, upon her hat, Its plumes-a mortal chicken's-—rise, A glorious bird of paradise. -Detroit Free Press. IMPROVEMENT. Bacon: "How is your wife? Egbert: "Improving, thank vou." Bacon: "Why, I didn't know she'd been Egbert: She hasn't; but she bought a bon- net to-day for four dollars. She used to buy the sixteen dollar kind, you know!" — Yonkers Statesman. BLESSED ARE THE RICH. It is a great mistake to believe thatxthe rich are holding us down. As a matter of fdcfc, they are pulling us up. If there were no rich people to keep our eyes glued upon the great gulf be- tween having and not having none of us would hustle. We have to have the rich man's man- sion prodding us, his power scourging us, and his automobile butting us to get anywhere at all. We have to see his wife and daughters in. silks and jewels, and realise what our own wive# and daughters without these things think of us as providers, to peel our coats off and get into the game. None of us can go out driving with such as we have and suffer the rich man to whiz past us in prism glass and burnished brass, throwing dust in our eyes and gasolene in our hair, without doing better in the great arena of human endeavour for the next two or three days, any way. Blessed are the rich, for they fill us with .shame and new resolve,, and make us to wonder what we have been doing all these years.-St. Louis Post Despatch. g A REMARKABLE WILL. Professor: You say they contested the will of the deceased? Student: "Yes, sir; and the court held that he was suffering from hallucinations." Professor: On what grounds? Student: "It appears that he left three- fourths of his property to his mother-in-law."— Minnesota Minnehaha. ANSWERING PREACHING WITH PRAC- TICE. At a- certain well-known medical college, not a thousand miles from New York, there ie a staff lecturer whose hobby is the necessity of a practising physician possessing the ability to sleep at odd minutes. The gentleman in ques- tion, be it added, ie as prosy in the enunciation of this theme as he is insistent upon it; where- fore he is affectionately known as Cap-naps." Just before the recent graduations, he was for the hundredth time enlarging on his pet topic at the close of a long ninety minutes' dis- course, oomething like this: And let me again impress upon you, young gentlemen, the prime necessity of training your- selves to that invaluable habit of sleeping here, there, and everywhere, whenever an unexpected fifteen minutes offers itself, to recuperate your exhausted energies. It may be in a car, with a ride ahead and no one at your elbow to annoy you. It may be in your office, between calls— at first, you know, there may be intervals! It, may come anywhere, any time; but seize the opportunity whenever you feel you are bored, perhaps, with what is going on around you- when you feel your time is being unpTofitaoly employed." And then, from the hindmost bench, came two loud, unmistakable snore,- THE MEANEST OF MEN. I say, Jones, dine with me at the house to- night, will you? Certainly, with pleasure. Will your wife ex- pect me ? "No; that's the beauty of it. We had a quarrel this morning and I want to make her i-nad.Peeksk-ill Palladium. A MODERN LOCHINYAS. Oh, young Lochinvar has come out of the West, In all the wide country his airship is best. To save his good dollars he chauffeur had none; He rode unafraid, and he rode all alone. So plucky his flight and so clever his Car Have ye e'er heard of Smarty like young Loch- invar ? He stayed not for wind and he stopped not for I rain, He flew straight along in his aeroplane. But ere he alighted at Rocks-by-the-Sea, < His girl had consented another's to be. For a man with a ninety h.-p. touring car Was to wed the fair Gladys of brave Lochinvar. Then boldly he entered the pink onyx hall. 'Mong climbers and waiters and family and all. Then spoke the bride's father, My word! well,, I t" (For the pooy craven bridegroom just faded away.)

One wink of his eye and one word in her ear When they reached the hall-door, for his airship was near. Right into the craft the fair lady "he swung, Riirht into the small seat beside her he sprung! "Let her go! We are off! over tree-top and scar; I'll be hanged if they follmv!" cried young Lochinvar.

'tIIIr- Pro-j j sr. C.E.M.S. MEETING AT ABERDARE. The St. Jolm's Bible Class met at the National Schools, Aberdare, on Sunday -fternooii, the Rev. W. H." Jones, B.A., 1residing over a good attendance. The ;Üef item was a paper by Mr. Fred Ghiffen on "The Church of. England Men's Society." Mr. Griffen said it would be well to con- sider the advisability of starting a branch of the C.E.M.S. If they decided in favour, it would have to be a parochial affair, and not merely a society drawn from one church in the parish. No society was better able to encourage lay workers. They might call the clergy the regulars," but it could not be gain- said that there was need of calling up the reserves n -the laymen. The enemies of Christianity were still with us—in- difference, unbelief, selfishness, and vice. These held their own. By calling out the "reserves" they would be better able to conquer these evils. The society would make real and vital the union of the church; it would help to assert and quicken the principles which the church holds; it would bring together men who were willing to do their part in serving God and their fellows. Its motto was: c. Come and give," and not Come and bet." Its minimum requirement was the observance of the simple and real 'life -I,rayin-g to God daily and doing some- thing to help forward the work of the church. The character of the organis- ation was left open to each branch. What might suit one branch would possibly not suit another. Its inception was at Llandaff Cathedral, and the first presi- dent was the. present Bishop of London, and the present president was the Arch- bishop of York. By joining such a society we should be able to do something for the Church and our Lord. The movement was being taken up all over the world, and he trusted that a branch would be formed at Aberdare. A discussion followed. The Chairman remarked that a phrase which Canon Johnson detested was Going in for the Church." This phrase was used in connection with students who were becoming clergymen. Canon Johnson's idea was that the church was not something for the clergy but for all men. He (Mr. Jones) did not like the comparison used by Mr. Griffen re the clergy being "regulars" and the laity the reserves." We were all in the front rank of the fight-clergv and lay- men. Mr. T. Lloyd, churchwarden, said he had no doubt that there was room for such an organisation in the parish. If they could succeed in forming such a branch other societies could be tributar- ies to the C.E.M.S. The present societies and classes in existence were already doing good work, but they might be able to get additional men to strengthen the supporters of the church. He hoped Mr Griffen would persevere in his ideas and get into communication with the Vicar and others in the parish, with the view of forming a branch in the near future. Mr. Parker also spoke, after which Mr. Griffen responded to the discussion. The Chairman proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Griffen, and Mr. Parker seconded.

Mr. Miles proposed "The Chairman," and a very delightful evening was ended by singing Auld Lang Syne."
Easter Vestry.
Easter Vestry. ABERDARE CHURCHMEN'S MEETING. The Vestry Meeting in connection with the Churches in the Aberdare Ecclesiasti- cal Parish was held on Easter Monday mcuring in the Vestry Hall, Green-street. Rev. C. A. H. Green, M.A., R.D., Vicar, presided, and he was supported by the Churchwardens, Messrs. T. Llcvd and W. F. Parry de Winton. Mr. de Winton submitted the balance sheet of each Church, and after some dis- cussion the accounts were adopted on the motion of Mr. Shannon, seconded by Mr. Fred Griffen. The Vicar proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the out-going officers-Church- wardens and Sidesmen. He remarked that it was only necessary to look at the balance sheet to know what a lot of work the Churchwardens had to perform. The administration of all the Churches in this district meant a great deal of care- ful work on the part of the Church- wardens. In Aberdare they were most fortunate in the persons selected, for both ,f"h T"1'" ,vLt'- J-IOYCL and Mr. de Winton had thrown themselves warmly into their duties. The Sidesmen also had per- formed their work well. There was a lot for them to do in the way of conducting strangers to seats. It was not necessary for the sidesmen to hold long conversa- tion with strangers who came to church- (laughter)-but they might take their names and addresses. Mr. T. Codd seconded the vote of thanks, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. T. Lloyd responded on behalf of Mr. de Winton and himself. He paid a tribute to Mr. de Winton for his work in preparing the accounts. Mr. Ted Halewood replied on behalf of the sidesmen. The Chairman re-appointed Mr. T. Lloyd as Vicar's Warden. Mr. J. E. Tremellen proposed, and Mr J. Vincent seconded, that Mr. de Winton be re-elected parishioners' warden. This was unanimously carried. Mr. de Winton, in acknowledging his appointment, remarked that this was the 11th time for him to be elected. He thought it high time to have a change. ("No, no.") A Churchwarden should be a good beggar, an architect, and fill many other capacities, and he was neither a good beggar nor an architect. He men- tioned architect in view of the proposed alterations to St. Elvan's Church. The following Sidesmen were then el ected -St. John the Baptist: Messrs. Wm. Jones, 7 Duke-street, and Griffith Thomas, 19 Glanant-street. St. Elvan's: Messrs. Sam Hodges, Sunny Bank; Cable, Hawthorn-terrace; George Lewis, Seymour-street; Ernest Home, Seymour-street; Sydney Vincent, Whitcombe-street; Richard Powell, 25, College-street; Tom Walker, Richmond- terrace; and G. T. Tuckfield, Metro. Bank. St. Mary's: Messrs. Richard Hum- phries (who is 90 years of age, and has served in this capacity for many years), David Richards, D. Lewis, Ed. Beynon, David Walters, Thos. Richards, Thos. Evans, E. J. Jones, and David Davies. St. Marv Magdalene's, Cwmbach: Messrs. W. Evans, A. Sweet, W. H. Jar- man, and D. G. Pugsley. St. John the Evangelist: Messrs. W. F. Jones and J. Bishop, Tudor-terrace. St. Matthew's, Abernant: Messrs. Chas. Parker, Henry Trimm. Joshua Devonald, and Tom Parker. Mr. C. R. Vicary wrote regretting his inability to attend, and enclosed a chequei for £ 69 5s. 7d., the sum collected by a committee during last year towards liquidating the debt of the Church Mission. The meeting then resolved itself into a committee to discuss the proposed exten- sion and renovations to St. Elvan's Church. The Vicar mentioned that the result of the appeal for subscriptions was very gratifying.

Merits our Confidence. The earnest way in which this Cwm- dare man tells his experience merits the confidence of us all: For about two years I was a great sufferer with lumbago and sciatica," says Mr. W. J. Burgum. whose oq Bryn Terrace, Cwmdare, near Aberdare. "The pain in my back was so severe that I had a difficulty in keeping at my work, a? I had a lot of stooping; sometimes I had much difficulty in getting upright afterwards, so acute were the pains. I tried several remedies, but nothirg gave me such ease as I obtained from Doan's backache kidney pills. I found relief in a few doses of these pills, and as I continued with them I became free from pain. I can now do my work with ease. (Signed) W. J. Burgum.") Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and ninepence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and nine- pence.
