WILL NOT PLAY FOOTBALL AGAIN. Hopes have bem held ont for some time past that Gwyn Nicliolis would assist the Cardiff Club for one more seaeon, especially as E. T. Gabe and Percy Eush will not be back from Australia. until the middle of next month. But his big host of admirers will learn with regret that Nicholle has definitely made up his mind not to play any more football. It is no secret that he will join the great army of Benedicts in the early part of next year. Who will take his place will be a diflicult problem for the Cardiff committee to solve. It is reported that two promising centre three-quarters reside in the Barry district. on ebeing a Llanelly player named Samuels and the other a Dublin man named Lunn The first practice match of the Cardiff Club will not be held till next Saturday week, and on the following Saturday there will be the annual fixture with the Cardiff and District Union team. It is not necessary (writes "Forward") that I should my anything of Nicholls as a great player. By common consent he is one of the greatest centre three-quarters that ever played the ga-me in this or any other country, and we shall miss him. His career has been a brilliant one. He played for Wales first against Scotland in 1256, and also against Ireland that season. He has been chosen to play for Wales in every match since then, but he was not able to play in them all. A list of the international matches in which he has actually played will be read with inte- rest:—1896, Scotland and Ireland; 1897, Eng- land 18%, England and Ireland; 1899, Eng- land, Scotland. and Ireland; 1900, Scotland and Ireland; 1901, England, Scotland, and Ire- land; 1902, England, Scotland, and Ireland; 1903, Ireland; 1904, England. This makes a total of eighteen matches, as against the 26 matches played by Arthur Gould.

I.LADY " SANDWICH-MEN." I…
LADY SANDWICH-MEN." I A London physician's rather startling suggestion that philanthropic ladies should appear with sandwich-boards warning inexperienced mothers against mistakes in infant feeding suggests a novel occupation for women. The lady sandwich-man" would certainly attract attention; but some ladies do that already. "I have certainly." said a Bristol lady, received more atten- tion than I desired. People made remarks about me as I passed. I was called 'a walking ghost,' my face was so pale and thin from anaemia. I had very peor blood. Food seemed to do me no good. My hea-d ached, and I felt tired after the least exer- tion. My father thought I was going into a consumption. After many years of illness a friend recommended me to try Dr. Williams pink pills for paJe people. The first box oertainly made me better, and after the second box there was a marked improvement. I felt stronger, and was less easily tired. Colonr commenced to come into my fat,t sure sign that the pills were making new blood-and my friends noticed the change for the better. I continned the course, "and I can- not remember when I was 80 healthy before. I work well, eat well, and sleep well." The speaker was Mrs. Thorne, 106, St. Marl.-g-road, Bristol. Dr. Williams' pink pills cured her because they made new blood. Whatever diseases arise from too little blood, or blood that lacks richness and purity, they can cure, just as surely as food cures hunger. The genuine pills always bear Dr. Williams' name. and substitutes are useless and fraudulent. Dr. Williams' medicine co. will send a box post free for two shillings and ninepence to any address. It is by making new blood that they cure anaemia, bile, con- sumption, indigestion, St. Vitus' dance: it is by making pure blood that they cure rheu- matism. kidney disease, eezema, and all skin troubles. They give strength to everyone, especially to women, who know why they need new blood more often than their hus- bands and brothers. L460

WANTED HOME-MADE BREAD On Saturday, when Hutchinson Vasey, labourer, of Gateshead, returned from work, his wife supplied him with bought bread instead of home-made. He then threw the frying-pan at her, struck her on the shoulder and ba-ck with a coal: rake, and then stabbed her in the left breast with a knife. For the latter offence he was yesterday sent to prison for three months.

An Expert Photographer ¡ A gentleman of Camber well New-road, Kennington Park, S.E., engaged in business as a photographer, adds his testimony to the list of others in praise of Phosferine; in this instance it relates to the cure of Rheumatism. This gentle- maR was in a hospital for nearly 5 months with Rheumatic Fever and Sob-Acate Rheumatism, and also a month at home. His limbs were so stiff he could scarcely bend them. A fortnight's use of Phosferine had wonderful effect, and he now vouches for Phosferine as a cure for Rheumatism. He does not wish his name and full address to be published, but will be pleased to answer any inquiries. The letter is as follows: "I cannot say too much in praise of Phosferine after the way it has bene- fited me. For nearly 5 months I was in hospital with Rheumatic Fever and Sub-Acute Rheumatism, and after that at home for over a month. I suffered much pain, and when I got up in the mornings all my limbs were so stiff I could hardly bend them. I have now been taking Phosferine for only a fortnight, and the effect has been wonderful. I have experienced great relief, and both my wife and self, as the saying is, now swear by Phosferine as a cure for Rheumatism. I may add that my business takes me out of doors a great deal as a photographer, and the wet and changeable weather makes it very trying for m, but now that I know the value of Phosferine in taking away pain I do not dread the approach- ing winter, as I had been doing."—Nov. 7th, 1903.

FOR WOMEN FOLK.
FOR WOMEN FOLK. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES. Riot ctooe eilk may be said to be one of the favourite materials for hats of the moment. When making cakes try greasing the tins with olire oil instead of with butter. You -will find the oakes will turn out better. Mice have a wefl-grrounded aversion to cayenne pepper, so to get rid of them it is a food plan to stop ail their holes thoroughly with a paste made of cement, to which a good sprinkling: of oayenoe PePPer has been added. New boots are sometimes difficult to porish. To make them shine easily, brush off any dirt that may be on them and rtrb them with lemon juice. Let this dry in, then black and polish them in the usual way, end they ■will ehlne beautifully. Plum Puree Ingredients: Two pounds of plume, one pound of sugar. Method: Stew the plums and sugar in half a. pint of water until they are soft. When cooked remove all the stones and mash the plume. Serve them oold in a glass dish with rice cream. Excellent Potato Soup I Out in thin slices twelve medium-sized potatoes and onions, put 2oz. of butter in term saucepan, a little salt, pepper, a grate of nutmeg. Slowly let them melt, not fry, but gently simmer. Then add two quarts of weak stock or water. Let it all boil quarter of an hour, and pour through sieve. Serve With toast or croutons. Stuffed Vegetable Marrow I Peel a medium-sized raarrow lengtnrwwye and take the seeds out. Take some scrape of cold meat of any kind and chop finely, aJBo scrape of stale bread; soak and be-at finely. Boil and chop two large onions and rub some sage, then mix all together, season- ing to taste. Fill eaoh half of the marrow with this forcemeat, tie them together, dredge with flour, salt, and pepper. Melt 2oz of dripping in a baking tin, put the mar- row in and bake it about one how. Serve waik brown gravy. Pears a UAtlemande I Ingredients—Six large pears, sugar, two I ounces of butter, the yolk of one egg, half an ounce of gelatine. Method-Peel and cut the peaxs in quarters, and steep them in cold water to prevent them turning black. Put them into a saucepan with sufficient cold water to cover them, and boil them with the butter and enough sugar to sweeten them nicely, until tender; then brush the pears over with the yolk of an egg, sprinkle them with sugar, and arrange them on a diah. Melt the gelatine in water, and pour it into the syrup, boil it quickly for five minutes, strain it over the pears, and let it rema.in until set. The syrup may be coloured with a little ooohineal. Eat Raw Onions Onions, eaten raw, with bread and better, make a capital complexion clearer and night- cap, especially for the nervous person, who is generally inclined to lie awake o' nights and to wake up at d-ighearteningly early houm of the morning. Slice the onions thin aDd sprinkle lightly with salt, to take off the raw, crude taste, and have the bread thin and a. good deal of butter. Talking of nervous- ness there is no better nerve food than good butter. Cod liver oil, which a few years ago was so extensively prescribed for persons with weak chests or of a nervous tendency, has been laqretly supplanted by the more palat- able and more easily digested butter of com- sacra use. Three-Course Dinner for a Few Pence 1. Jfflk Soup-Pot & teacrsptfnJ of barley in eoid water, and boil till quite soft. If not all absorbed strain off water, and add to barley a pint of milk, season, and bring- to the baR. One egg beaAen up, and soup poured over it is a great improvement. 2. BSssol-es.—afince any scraps of eoofeed meat, add mashed potatoes, season, mix with beaten egg, for minto small cakes or balls roll in breadcrumbs, and fry. 3. Marmalade Pudding.—Two teacupfuls of breadcrumbs, one teacupful of suet, two tablespoonfuls of flour, two tablespoonfuls of marmalade, one tablespoonful of sugar, pinch of salt, half-teaspoonful of carbonate of soda. Mix with milk. put in greased basin, and steam two hours.

Passing Pleasantries. Myer: I saw a conjurer torn water into wine the other evening Oyer: That's nothing. I know a dairyman who tarns water into milk every day. Joe King was ill at a lodging-house, and made his mind up to have some chicken broth. The order went down into the kitchen, and the broth eame up weak, fiat, and insipid. The sick man was afterwards relating his disappointment to a friend, who said-" They just let a. chicken wade through it." If they did," said Joe, faintly.! itt had stilts on." At a Tillage school in Suffolk, a boy was detained from school to assist in sorting potatoes. The schoolmaster, as usual on such oocasions, desired the boy's father to vrite and state the cause of his absence. The next morning the boy appeared with a note from his father, which contained but one word, Keptatomatatering." The schoolmaster, astonished at such an unheard-of word, puzzled over it for some minutes, and at last discovered it to signify that the boy was Xept at home a-tatering." AN INVALID.

STORY FOR TO-DAY i
STORY FOR TO-DAY The Pursuit of a Song. By FRANCIS LlYiNGSTONE. It was in a restaurant, one of those places where there are palms and mirrora and music and gaily dressed women and men, that I first heard it—that air which -was destined to have so great an influence upon my after life. How can I describe it to you? It is like trying to describe a beautiful woman, and that sort of thing always looks so foolish on paper. I am not a. musician, or I might write it down. I began with two long notes—lah la-h--and then followed six short ones—la la. la, la Ia. la. It was the most bewitching melody, the most inviting, intoxicating, tantalising thing that was ever Eeard. I thought so then, think so still. All the way home I kept trying to hum it and succeeded very well with the first few measures. In the night I woke and remem- bered more—even some of the second part with its change of key and the beautiful swing back to the original air. But in the morning it was quite gone from me. I worried over it for two or three days, and then one afternoon, as I could not get the thing out of my head (or in it) I stopped in the restaurant to ask the leader of the orahestra what the air -was. But the man heal gone, amid had taken his music with him. I asked one of the members of the band, and ever, made a dismal attempt to sing the opening strain. He remembered there was some such, thing, but did not know what it WIM-they played so many pieces. He seemed to take no interest whatever in my quest. I hnmmod, "Lah, tall; la la 1a." ft Tken I set to work to stop thinking about the matter, bad almost succeeded when, oho afternoon, I heard it again. It was on the street; an Italian with a. violin and a small boy with a guitar were playing my beloved air—'distorted and mane-led, it is true, with hideous discords in the feefcile bees the boy thrummed out, but still my air. I hurried to the cunb. Already the musi- cians bad begun on anotlher pieee. I tihrust a quarter into the man's hand. Play that again," I said. "Si, signer," he repfied deKghitedly, and oontrnned his doleful slaughter of "Di Pro- ven zo" from the Traviatia." Not that." I said impatiently—" the other e,ne.-taie first on,what the diclmo is the Italian word—1'otno primo?" The man's grin widened, and, nodding vigo- rously, he began to play a waltz. No, no; l'otro!" I said, gesticulating violently, and, approaching as near his ear as I dared, I hummed, "Lah lah; la Is la. la la, la." The waltz ceased, and an awful coon song wailed out from the catgut. I was angry enough to strike the man with my stick. "Tell me its name if you won't play it over-the name of the beautiful piece I want—not that hideous stuff." I heard a titter, and, looking around, found that a crowd of a acore or more persons had stopped on the sidewalk, interested in my excited colloquy with the Italian. I even noticed that two well-dressed ladies had paused, and were standing a little apart from the rest. Greatly mortified, I hurried away. And then it began all over again. Night and morning that air, or some fragment of it, was in my head disturbing my peace. I felt myself growing worn and thin. I visited all the music stores and reeolmtely made of myself a figure of fun by singing what I could remember of the air to the salesmen, but none had ever heard of it. I also went to all the theatres and vaudeville houses, but in vain. Three week3 passed. My days and nights were haunted as persistently as ever by those elusive strgans-those two long, wooing notes and those six short, tripping ones. Seldom could I get any further. One never-to-be-forgotten night I was going home. The hour was about nine o'clock, when suddenly I paused. The melody running through my tired, bewildered brain seemed echoed by an angelic voi-ce-taint and far away, but there was no mistaking it-it was my air, sung by a. woman's voice, and, oh, how far more beautiful than anything I had ever imagined! I quickened my steps. The melody grew Bring It to me, and I will giro you this." clearer, though still all too far away. It was in that house there--& soprano voice, clear and penetrating, was singing those haunting, delicious strains. Yes, there w.as the change I had tried so hard to get, and the long, lovely phrase swinging back to the opening notes. For an instant I felt faint with very joy; then, with beating heart, I leaped up the steps, and in another instant would have pressed the bell. But I took thought in time. I had another plan in view, and, rush- ing down the steps again, I pulled the area bell. A stout, red-faced woman cane to the grating. "My good woman," I said breathlessly, go up stairs at once and ask your mistress the name of the song she is singing. Bring it to me, and I will give you this." And I showed her a bill. The woman eyed me with no friendly gaae. Phwat's that you're afther ssyin ?" she asked grimly. I repeated the words impatiently. The woman opened the iron door. Step inside," she said. The instant I was within she closed tbe-door and set her back against it. "Mike," afaawBed, acme -"1" I A heavy, blue coated figure appeared from the inner regions. I'd loike you to clap your eyes on this gent." The woman held me tightly by the coat sleeve. 'It's wan of thim burglars as was here last week, I'm sure," she went on. tryin to bribe me wid his dirty money to leave me post an' go up stairs on a fool's arrant." What do you want here ?" asked the bluecoat ifercely. I scarcely heard what he said. The singer was in the second part, approaching the change. La, ra ra, rummpty," I accom- panied, beating time with my finger. Now it goes back into lah lah-isn't it beautiful ? I think he's dopy," said the policeman. "'Deed an he isn't thin; he knows well enough what he's about. Watch him, Mike, 'at he don't make a break." Didn't your young miss see wan of thim in the dining room ? Yis, and bad he frightened her; a t well dressed chap he was, too, Miss Lucy said. Belike this is the very one." Both the cook and the policeman now held me fast by either arm. Now, me man," said the bluecoat, up stairs wid ye, an' don't ye try any funny business, either." This was more than I had dared hope for. But at the foot of the stairs I had a fright. The singer had finished my song and imme- diately began another, something that sounded like an Italian aria. Perhaps she could not understand me, and I would have to go through with the l'otro primo busi- ness again. Does your mistress speak EngUsh ? I asked, hurrying my steps. 'Deed she does, thin, as yon 11 soon find out," said the cook. In the upper hall, as we approached the drawing room door, she began to speak: Miss Lucy, don't be frightened, ma'am. We've got a foine bird here, me and me I cousin Mike. We think it's wan of thim bur- glars." We stood in the doorway, I fast pinioned between the angry cook and the big police- man. The song broke off short. A beautiful young woman started up from the piano with a little cry "Burglars! Honora, what do you mean?" At sight of me she gave a start and leaned against the piano, very pale. Will you just take a look at him, miss, an' see if it is the wan? I caught him at the area gate just now, an he had the face to thry to bribe me to go up shtairs an ax you the name of the song you was singin. Fort'nitly me cousin Mike, ma'am, bein' off post, had just dropped in for a cup of tay, an togither we overpowered him, ma'am." How very strange murmured the young lady, but her colour was returning. I bowed, and said with such dignity as I could command: I deeply regret, mademoiselle, to have startled you. Will you hear me a moment? For weeks I have sought vainly a beautiful song I once heard I have visited theatres, concert halls, music stores—everywhere I might possibly hear it again—but, alas, I could not find it. To-night, as I was passing your house, it fell upon my ears—you were singing it. I could not miss the chance. I sought entrance to your house and have been arrested, as you see. Only tell me the name of that heavenly melody and where I can procure it, and I will go peaceably to my prison cell, nor think the price paid a dear one." The young lady resumed her seat on the piano stool, smiling a little. Then she turned to the cook and said reproachfully: ,—' I Will yen Jatt take a look at him, mis*?** I "Honors, you have made a mistake. Go down stairs with your cousin, please, and leave this gentleman to me." The cook departed, shaking her head ominously, and taking with her her embar- rassed relative. The young lady asked me sweetly to be seated. "You heard me singing a song?" she said, turning over the leaves of her music. "I wonder which one it could have been ? I know not by what name to call it," I said, but all other songs are so poor beside it that to me it is the only song in the world." Indeed it must be beautiful! Is it this, perhaps? She touched a few notes gently- the Italian aria. No, no-not that; my song goes like thi-3: Lah lah "— She began to laugh. "Don't I" she said. "It reminds me of something funny I once heard. I think it was then, when she laughed, that I first noticed how beautiful she was. I asked her what it was that had amused her. For answer she began to play it softly-my song. Her laughing eyes looked questioningly into mine. I nodded yes vigorously—I would not interrupt her by a sound. Then she sang it through. When she had finished, I could hardly speak, except to say, How beautiful and to ask its name. "The song is called 'Barbara's Marriage Bells. "What a charming name! And the com- poser ? The composer," she continued. is a young woman quite unknown to fame. She wrote the song last summer, and it was sung at a mu3icale in Newport and after- ward played at the Casino there. One of the members of the Casino orchestra directed the band at Vicar's restaurant here for a time this winter, and it was played there." "Yes; that's where I heard it I inter- jected. The young lady thought her song had aroused no interest whatever"— What I cried indignantly. Until one day she was surprised to hear an Italian street musician playing it "Yes, yes; mangling it"— She stopped to listen, and when the man had finished an excited gentleman ran up and was ready to beat the man because he could not induce him to play the song again." Why, that was me I cried, heedless of .grammar. The young lady was accompanied by her cousin, who, it seems, knew this gentleman's sister—she said his name was Mr. Wheat- leigh Yes, yes; pardon me"—I was fumbling for a oard-" but this young composer-this gifted creature—if I could only meet her to tell her "— To-night she was somewhat startled by having this same excited gentleman arrested at her door as a burglar, all for giving another proof of his admiration for her little song." I could only stare at her dumbly. It is you, then," I at length found voice to say-" you who have written this lovely song ?" I had entirely forgotten the bur- glarious episode. How I must have fright- ened you! Can you forgive me ? What need to tell all that followed of this most delightful call! When I departed, I car- ried with me a manuscript copy of the song. And in telling its story I have quite forgotten to mention the lady's name. It was Lucy- the rest does not matter, for it is Lucy Wheatleigh now—and it was surprising hew little alteration was required to make of Barbara's Marriage Bells" a wedding march, which was played at our wedding. Even as I write I hear my wife's voice sing- ing that dear BOng; and so softly, so sooth- ingly. that I think—yee, I am quite sure- i

The streets of some of the mining towns of California are paved with gold. A great deal of the rock that is taken out of the mines contains such a small percentage of gold that it would not be profitable to take it out, so when a street needs paving this rock is crushed, and, being exceedingly hard, makes the finest sort of a pavement.

SURGEON'S CARELESSNESS An extrakyrdimnry acbion at law has grown out of the death of Major Amouroux, who in September, 1903, came to Paris to undergo an operation for ah. affection of the throat. Major AmouToux returned to h-te home a/t Aurillas, and died a. fortnight later. About a moiuflh. ago his famdly heard from am assistant of the surgeon that a gross piece of carelessness had been oommaitted during the operation, and that a. Bound which wae used to probe the wound had been broken by a muscular contraction of the thorax. The surgeon had not discovered what had happened tffi some days later, when the wound had heated, and bad sadd nothing about it. Aoting on this information, the family addressed a complaint to tthe Parquet of Paris. The body was exhwned, am autopsy performed, and the broken pant of the instru- ment was found imbedded in the dead mam's sUmach.

SERGEANT'S SUICIDEI BROKEN NOSE AND BRODRICK CAP. "I am wearing the Brodrick cap, which makes me look awful." This formed the postscript to a. letter written by Sergeant Wilfrid Glasgow, of the Royal Army Medical Corps, before commit- ting suicide by shooting himself with a revolver. His dead body was found in a ditch on Hounslow Heath last Saturday by two women who were gathering blackberries. The Coroner read at the inquest last even- ing a portion of a letter which Gla-agow had addressed to the officer commanding the depot of the R.A.M. Corps at Alderahot. It ran:- My mind is unhinged, and I am doing this to save trouble. I had a fracture of the nose before I went to South Africa, and during the war it was made worse. My face is so disfigured that my friends scarcely know me, and wherever I go every- body looks at me, and I can stand it no longer. I am afraid that this extension of j 21 years will not be granted in consequence. The coroner read the postscript, with the I comment, "It is evident that this cap is not popular in the Army." Sergeant Chappie stated that Glasgow had a slight disfigurement of his nose before he went to South Africa, where he was severely wounded, and where he gained the distin- guished conduct medal.
