To-day's Short Story.
To-day's Short Story. THE NEW YEAR-O FEAST. the weather is bad, distressing, and cold; the streets are dirty. What of it! Paris ie On agog. It goes, it comes, it perambulates, and all its caa-riages axe crowded. All Saints is past—the day of the dead; to-day is the day of the living. Early in the corning a worthy fellow-& little, old man, already shaved and "spiok and span"—went down his six flights of stairs. With a little basket hanging from his arm, and his pipe in. his mouth, he goes elowly through the neighbourhood, watching the display of eatables, entering the shops and asking the prices. When he comes back his pipe is out; but the basket is no longer flat. Ha, ha! It's easy to see that someone is going to have his boy to dinner to-day," said the janitor. The oLd feUow smiles and atimbs up to his lodgings—two small rooms and a. kitchen to match. Once there he takes out, spreads, and gazes at the ccaitemts of hia basket. A. brill- think of it-with six splendid mushrooms! And that?" "Ilusa!" A partridge!" Quite so—ready drawn, and larded." And what is that over there-t-hat black thing—spoiled fruit?" iso, indeed." Truflie, perhaps?" As you say." Why not, since his boy is coming to ■diniter! Aud that is not all. Smell that Quarter of a pound of butter; the real article; no margarine in that; and fresh! Smell it, I tell you! It's to go with those pink radishes, the earliest of the season, if ,you pitai-e! And that, also—a head of salad, 'which will be followed by a square of Brie ,cheese (isn't it white and creamy?) And guess: two bunches. of grapes! What do you think of it?" You must be quite a rich, old man?" Very; yes." His pension of non-commissioned officer, and what he has been able to put aside and to pay into an annuity insurance company after leaving the army; in all, about 1,000 francs. "Per month?" Per year. But when one does not ask anything from anybody, what of it?" "And who is going to cook all that?" He himself. He knows; an old soldier is never embarrassed. And then the worthy woman whose artless picture is hanging on the wall—his wife, the mother of his boy- was a splendid cook during her lifetime. He used to watch her while smoking his pipe. He learned from her. You'll see if his boy does not lick his fingers." The time comes; the old man starts to work. With what care. It must be good, and it must look good. He does his best, enjoying in advance the effect produced upon the beloved guest by these luxuries, and this tempting food. The hours pass unnoticed by him. Twilight is coming; fortunately, Eiight comes early in the winter. He is not late; everything going on well. What a templing odour permeates the lodging. The little old man ig happy. His son will be surprised. It will be a great treat for him. Still more so than one thinks, for since the day before a long-necked bottle has been placed on the mantelpiece, to get luke- warm, to bring forth the full flavour of its aroma. It is claret. And, besides, when the young man will take up his napkin. What's that, father?" "Undo the paper: open the box." "A watch? A gold watch? Ah, pa, I know it. It's mother's watch." And the worthy fellow sees his boy rising from the table, throwing his arms around his neck, kissing him, with a tear in his eye; for his boy is a brave fellow. "After all, it is not worth while to be affected. The watch was there; it was no use to anybody. The watchmaker repaired it, and now it goes." That is what the little old man thinks, but he is moved, nevertheless. Bracing up, he begins to set the table. From the sideboard he takes old relics-a tablecloth, the only one which remains from the household which the good wife has left. Napkins are addedi th--pelong to the same time, hemmed and marked by the absent one. There is the plated castor, which was given him on his birthday; other things of small value—souvenirs—which the lone man carefully puts down, looking at the picture that is watching him, and seeming to smile as if she whom it represents was also await- ing her boy. "Well, he may come now. It's ready." He will not delay much longer; it is six o'clock. In the meantime the old man sits down, looks at the waiting table, and thinks, remembers, sees again in his mind the New Years of former days. The mother was seated opposite him, the youngster between them, perched on his high chair. Parents, dead also, and friends, scattered now, came to exchange greetings. They were happy; they were hopeful; they thought life would always go on in the same way, and then "Why it is half-past six? Can it be pos- sible for the boy to be detained at the shop? And yet he was complaining the other day of the little work that there was If he is late the fine dinner will not be so good. Oh, he'll cotie; he never fails. Let's wait." Ard while the harxi pushes on over the dial of the old clock a painful suspicion takes root in the other's mind. If his son were Hot coming? Where is he? What detains him? The tick-tack of the timepiece resounds like so maniy blows in the he-avy heart of the old man. His breathing becomes shorter in his unspeakable agony. Suddenly a crash resounds in the mournful silence of the and sewn times the gong strikes—seven o'clock. Intensely listening to every noise from out- side, the poor man starts every time the street door is shut. He seeks to recognise the ascending step. "Is it he?" No, it stops en the fom-th floor. He rebels lagair-t the despair which slowly overwhelms him. He wishes the clock were fast—he would wish to stop the- flight of time—but is a quarter-past. The atrocious truth imposes itself; and, heart-broken, the poor man thinks, He is not coming." What can he be doing? Is he at the cafe —in bad company? Or God if he were sick." > It's the last hop: cruel as it is; but the old man tortures his mind to find an excuse for his son. He wishes to go and find out. No. If he were to come while his father is away. Everything becomes confused and seems to crumble down; his bewilderment is complete. The poor man no longer struggles against his sorrow. Crushed, he yields to the bitter- ness of his abandonment, and the only thing that subsists in him is the regret of having lived so long—this desire to go away to die. Wnat is he to do henceforth? Who thinks of him? Who loves him? No one any more. He is de trop." Without expectations, tired of the present, he has but one refuge—tne J.. q He wishes to take down his wife's picture, to place it opposite him at the table, to try to eat. I Eat. When one's heart is so heajvy. There is no room for food. No, it's all over with him—it's all over." And he keeps on repeating this, struggling against the sob which rises, contracts his throat, strangles him, is it going to burst forth, when— The key grates in the keyhole, the door flies open, showing a tall, lusty fellow, who shouts: Happy New Year, Pop. I am late. But I'll tell you "Nothing, my son, my boy. You ars here; I have you, that's enough. For now, you see, my whole life can be told in one word: You." The poor people cannot do what they please. Work was slack, and, not wishing to come empty-handed, the boy had taken extra work. He had worked all night and I ail day, finishing only at five o'clock. Delivering his work, drawing his pay, buy- iing the Pre--Ont-a meerschaum pipe—and dressing were the causes of delay. I But he is there. Never mind the rest. They are at the table; they have finished the soup. The father pours the wine from the long-nocked bottle, and the son, raising his! glass and looking at the picture, says:— "To mother." t
This is Resolution Day!
This is Resolution Day! VOWS TO KEEP OR BREAK This is the day for Good Resolutions, for turning over new leaves galore, and for vow- ing righteous vows which win be broken, as sure as the ice on the Serpentine, before the New Year is many hours' old. To-day's resolutions iist will, it is safe to say, break all past records absolutely. Self- denial is the basis on which moat of us work. Last night, with the exception of a riotous band of heathen who own Scotland as their birthplace, and who don't count on New Year's Eve, 6,000,000 of noble-hearted inhabi- tants of Greater London went to bed smiting their breasts and resolving the most mighty things. To wit: To get up earlier every morning. To do noble things and not dream them an 4ay long. To be kind to their wivoo. To be considerate to their husbands. To keep daily aocount of their expenses. To be frugal. To pay their tailors cash. To eschew the1 foaming cup. To treat the income-tax man and the rate-collector as brothers. To come home early from the club. To forswear bridge—even at lOd. per 100. To put by for a rainy day. Etc., etc., etc. These are the co-mmon lines on which all men work. At midnight on New Year's Eve they seize their pet Habit by the throat, shake it like a terrier shakes a rat, and fling it out of their sight with a Go away, you Beast!" This habit may be anything—drink, mur- der, love, hate, lying, swearing, ritualism, roguery, or cigarettes. But it comes round on January 2 with a smiling face, meets you as an old friend returned from a far country, and in a braoe of shakes you are round the corner and celebrating auld acquaintance with a wee drop-just one (so, at any rate, declares the "Morning Leader" specialist in such matters). And then it is all over until next January! It is just the same whether you are a tea drinker or a wife-slaughterer, or a sword- swallower. No sooner is the New Year well warmed when along comes the Ruling Pas- sion, and down goes the tea, or the wife, or the sword, whichever particular vice is yours. And, after all, the greatest pleasure in life is breaking good resolutions made in the small hours. It does not matter whether you are a busman or a baronet, a body- snatcher or a bridge player, fate has you in her grip, and knows very well that every first of January you are sending down a new
For Women Folk
For Women Folk HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES1 The best method of teaching a parrot to speak is to covkr its cage with a cloth, and then, selecting the sentence you wish the bird to learn, repeat it over and over again. A good deal of patience is necessary, as some- times the creature will not utter a word for days, but if one perseveres with this treat- ment for an hour or so each day the bird will generally learn the phrase. Do not cut the bird's tongue on any account. Captain Sauce for Boiled Fish One Spanish onion raw and chopped very fine, one dessertspoonful of raw parsley, one egg hard boiled, all chopped very fine. Add a little mixed mustard, pepper, salt, and vinegar. Mix ail together. To Dry-Clean a Coat An old-fashioned method to dry-clean a coat is to dip a brush in a solution of warm gall, and apply to the greasy places. Sponge off, and dry by the fire, then lay the coat quite flat, and cover it with clean, damp silver sand, and with a brush beat it into the cloth. With a hard brush well scour the sand cut of it, and the dirt will come away with it, after Which air and press. Butterscotch. I Put into a clean pan lilb. of soft sugar, 2oz. of butter, half-teaepoonful of cream of tartar, and half a t,eacupful of cold water. Let the whole boil for about ten minutes without stirring, then dip a spoon in cold water, take a little of the boiling sugar and drop it into cold water, if the mixture hardens, pour it at once into a well-buttered plate or tin. You may add, if liked, a little powdered ginger or vaiulla essence just before pouring it out Make it into neat squares when it cools a little.

The greatest importance for success is to put pdenty of labour in the making.

If the buttefr is hard, gently warm, working same in the meantime. Do not heat. as the butter becomes oily. Add three eggs well beaten umtil a cream again, continue same until eggs are used. Then mix sifted flour, peel, sultanas, put mixture in frame, press level, put 6oz. chopped almonds on top. Send the cake to the I baker's to be baked, as these cakes seldom succeed in ordinary ovens.
Passing Pleasantriesl
Passing Pleasantries l During a vacation one summer a gentle- man and his family boarded at a farm in Norfolk. The next year he wrote to the farmer, saying, "There are several little matters that I desire changed should I decide to pass my holidays at yoar house. We don't like the maid Mary; moreover, we do not think a sty so near the house is sanitary." "The farmer replied, "Mary is went, and we 'a-ven't 'ad no hogs since you went away last August!" A comedian was touring in America, and, arriving at a mining settlement in the Far West, was most hospitably received. As a return for this friendly treatment he arranged to give a special performance of his principal comedy in four acts. The audience, numbering about thirty, sat in grim silence through three acts, but at the end of the third act the miners rose in a body, gathered up their belongings, and started to depart. The comedian, in dismay, rushed before the curtain. "Gentlemen," he exclaimed, "there is another act yet!" "Yes," said one of the miners emphatically, after an embarrassed pause, "that's why we're going!" A BROAD HINT. I An elderly fccottish lady was visited by an impecunious relative who outstayed his welcome to such an extent that his hostess, finding his oompany very irksome, delicately hinted on several occasions that his pro- longed visit was straining her hospitality. These gentle intimations having no effect, she decided that it was time to resort to rather more vigorous methods. "Janet," she remarked impressively to the cook in the hearing of her guest, "dinns forget to bile twa eggs for Mr. MiacPhairson's breakfast to- morrow-he's traivellin'
-INNOCENT MAN HANGED. I
INNOCENT MAN HANGED. I Herr Hanssen, a member of the German Reichstag, declares that a tramp named Deppe, who was executed six years ago for the murder of a girl named Nissen, at Nord- burg. North Schleswig, was innooent. He publishes overwhelming evidence to show that the murder was perpetrated by a notorious criminal named Tessnow, who has just been sentenced to death for the third time at Greichswald. Tessnow was living at Nordburg at the time Nissen was murdered. Deppe protested unceasingly that he was innocent, even at the gallows on the point of death, and in view of Herr Hanssen's revelations no reasonable doubt exists that Deppe was executed for a crime of which he was innocent.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN P"
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN P" Counsel's Rush Into Court. At the second court of tihe Glamorgan Quarter Sessions to-day the Bendh had a sharp word with counsel during the hearing of a charge of alttempted suicide preferred against Rachel Miles, the wife of John Miles, collier, of Abergwynfi, and the mother of eleven children. The evidence had been nearly concluded, when Mr. Hugh Jones and Mr. Ivor Bowen, counsel for the prosecution and defence respectively, rushed in from the first court. The Chairman (Mr. R. W. Uowelyn): Where have you counsel been al'l this time? We have nearly disposed of the case. Mr. Ivor Bowen: We were not called, sir, and we a.re very sorry. At. assizes an itima- tion is sent to us, but it is not done at this court. The Chairman: Well, we will hear what you have to say under the circumstances. Mr. Bowen then spoke in extenuation of the woman's offence. She was, he said, a respect- able woman, with a family of eleven chil- dren; but. she had been subject to fits, and, having given way to drink during the week in which she committed the rash act of try- ing to kill herself with a razor, she became d-eispondemt, and had not probably been accountable for her actions. She had been. in the prison infirmary since the middle of November, and was now quite well again. Arrangements had been made to keep proper supervision over her future conduct. The issue was not put to the jury, and the Bench bound the defendant over in X20 to be of good behaviour, and discharged her on the condition that she would sign the pledge.

Wholesale Robbery. MAESTEG COLLIER SENT TO PENAL SERVITUDE From the charges appearing in three indict- .inents at Glamorgan Quarter Sessions at Car- diff to-day, Albert Harding, a collier, 31 years of age, seemed to have entered upon a wholesale system of robbery at Maesteg and Pontypridd in the months of August and Sep- tember last. He pleaded guilty to breaking and entering. and entering a warehouse belonging to the Maesteg District Council, and stealing a mis- cellaneous collection of articles, including brushes and combs, brooches, ear-ririgs, ladies' shoes and satchel, gloves, a five- shiiling piece, &c., on the 4th of September last. At Pontypridd on the 31st of July he broke into the house of Lily Jones, and annexed a silver watch, racing jacket, and a pair of gloves, the property of Charles Trenchard. On the 1st of August he visited the same house and took away two ladies' riding habit, two ladies' riding breeches, furs, jackets, skirts, &c., the property of Lily Jones. Prisoner's record was a bad one, several previous convictions being recorded against .bim. He was sentenced to three years' penal servitude.

At midnight the men made their way on board the vessel, but they were seen by the watchman, who gave the alarm. Some sailors hurried on deck and tried to capture the men. After a desipesrate struggle, during which the watchman and several sailors were shot, the strangers got clear away. The burning fuse of the bomb, which wae left on the quay, was quickly extinguished.
WOUNDED LOVER MARRIED
WOUNDED LOVER MARRIED Surgeons & Nurses as Witnesses With two white-capped nurses as wit- nesses, and with surgeons standing by with their instruments and anaesthetics all in readiness, Charles Trooce was married to Julie Bernadi yesterday as he lay on the operating table, at the Flower Hospital, in New York. A IJommica-n father performed the ceremony. Trocce, who is employed at Sherry's Res- taurant, fought a duel with Francisco Rostin over Julie in a lower room at that establishment on Saturday evening. Rostin used a long, keen knife, which pierced his antagonist's liver. The girl's wounded lover sent word to her by messenger as soon as he was told it would be necessary to operate on him. She hurried to his side in great agitation. Then a priest was summoned, and the operation was post- poned until the marriage was contracted. The head nurses, who acted as witnesses, were Marie Sophita and Elizabeth Stoyle. The bride is 30 years of age, and the groom 27. The operation took some time, but after it was over Trocce rallied, and the surgeons said lie had. a. tgood chance of recovery. The bride did not leave him till she got the cheering tidings. Trocoe's assailant was looked up charged with f-elonic-us aesault.
SHIP ON THE SANDSj
SHIP ON THE SANDS The steamship Cameo, belonging to Glas- I gow, and bound from Ardrossan for Aber- dovey, with a cargo of sleepers for the Cambrian Railways, stranded late last night on the Aberdovey Sands. The ship had been in the bay since Sunday, but the stormy weather prevented her cross- ing the bar. The Aberdovey lifeboat went out at mid- night. She failed to approach the ship, but stayed near the boat all night. The men walked from the beach to the ship, which was nearly on dry sand. The cargo was thrown into the sea, so that the steamer is expected to float in a day or two.
SURVIVOR OF JELLALABAD.;
SURVIVOR OF JELLALABAD. Sergeant John Moore, one of the three sur- vivors of the garrison of Jellalabad, died yesterday at Southampton. An Irishman by birth, he enlisted at the age of eighteen in the 13tiz Foot, and, serving in India from 1835 to 1845, went through the Afghanistan campaign. In 1840-1 he was present in several engagements in forcing the paflse13 from Kabul to Jellalabad, and took part in the defence of the latter fortress in 1841-2. He. participated in the general action at Jellalabad in the latter year, and at the recapture of Kabul. Sergeant Moore was possessed of three medals for service in the field, and in 1840 was promoted from cor- poral to sergeant for gallantry.
DRUNKEN ORGIE
DRUNKEN ORGIE In a licensing case heard at Dudley yester- day, in which Thomas Williams was charged with permitting drunkenness, a young chain- maker boasted in court that he had a drunken orgie at defendant's house, declar- ing he had about a dozen glasses of whisky, rum, and port, and also a share of several quarts of ale. One witness stated that five chainmakers consumed nearly 30 quarts of ale. One man became very disorderly, and did consider- a)ble damage. The magistrates regarded the case lUll shocking, and fined Williams t6, including COfctS.

Fred Jenkins one of Aberavon's best for- wards, has decided to give up his work at the Graving Dock, Port Talbot, and accept a position at Messrs. Bailey's Engineering Works at Barry. Coming so near Cardiff, Jenkins is likely to be a candidate for a position in the ranks of the blue and blacks. His departure from Aberavon, following so soon upon the capture of Tommy Thomas by Wigan, will seriously handicap the Aberavon Club. Dispute About a Transfer The management committee of the English Football League at Manoiiester on Monday inquired into the complaint of Everton that Manchester City had not carried out their agreement made, when they received the transfer of Hill for £600, to give Everton the first chanoe of securing Burgess, the inter- national back, who has been transferred to Manchester United. The City's case was that Burgess refused to go to Everton. The committee ordered that the difference between the price the City paid for Hill and what they would receive for Burgess should be handed over to Manchester and Liverpool charities.

Springbok -and the -Leek
Springbok and the Leek Oh, we're off our heads at StellembOWb, we rO crazy at the Paarl, It's just the same in every dorp where kerels speak the taal; For there's not an Africander but through- out this blessed week Will rejoice without his onion and will sub- stitute a leek. Every night for all a motnth I've seen a Griffin in my sleep Rounding up the timid Springboks, as a dog rounds up the sheep; In the air I've seen a critic with a vulture's horrid beak Wearing Prince of Wales' feathers, while bisftta,il it was a leek. In my pleasant dreams the Griffin is no more a fearsome beast, It is either he who's smaller, or the Spring- bok who's increased; While the critic's flying somewhere in the middle of next week, And the Springbok sports the Prince of Wales' feathers and the leek. Oh, I've seen Bob Loubser lying with Ted Morgan on his chest, Watching Percy Bush and Owen pl-ay the dickciis with the rest; Old Gwyn Nichols' been a bogie with a swelling in his check; Yes, it uiiglit have been his tongue, amd yet it might have been a leek. But, hurrah! I'm done with dreaming of the Cambrian box of tricks Since the Springboks licked the Welshmen by eleven points to nix. And I've shouted till I haven't got the blessed breath to speak Of my honest admiration for the wearers of the leek. Gallant Wales it was that made the game our boys are playing now, And although we've beaten Taffy it was Taffy taught us how. Yes, we're proud; I'm not pretending tihait we are unduly meek; Brat we'll punch his head who dares insult the wearer of the leek. In my youthful days the pedagogue my boyish sense impressed With awe because he knew the things my brain could not digest; But since I've outgrown his scope in Latin and in Greek, I have loved him as the Springbok loves the wearer of the leek. No, we dimna. grudge the canny Scot his triumph in the rain; And, begorrah, Pat might thwack us if we had to play again; [f the rose should bloom ungathered, we'll not kill ourselves with pique, But our hearts go out, whatever, to the wearers of the leek. • —wSptriugbofc" to the "Dope TLtnee."
Bookmaker's Bets.
Bookmaker's Bets. SESSIONS' CHAIRMAN DISCUSSES A, PLACE." The Epiphany quarter sessions for the county of Glamorgan were opened at the Town-hall, Cardiff, this morning. In charging the grand jury, the Chairman (Mr. O. H. Jones) said the cases in the calendar, which number 29, were of the character which usually came before quar- ter sessions—cases of laroeny and things of that sort. A bookmaker, named Alexander David Rosser, was charged with frequenting a certain place at Pontypridd for the pur- pose of betting. The Betting Act made it an offence for any person to frequent or resort to a place for the purpose of making bets there, it being a place within the meaning of the Act. In this case there might be cer- tain questions of law arising, but these would not effect the grand jury. If they thought the evidence was clear that Roseer frequented the place and had betting slips upon him it was their duty to find a true bill in order that the whole question might be thrashed out before the petty jury.
,ST, DYFRIG'S CHURCH.
ST, DYFRIG'S CHURCH. The unfinished condition of St. Dyfrig's Church, Wood-street, Ca;rdiff, has long been a distressing eye-sore to the citizens of Car- diff, and it is gratifying to know that there is an early prospect of the edifice being completed. Plans prepared by Mr. Arthur Grove, architect, of Clifford's Inn, London, were laid before the city council public works oom- mittee to-day, when Mr. John Mander pre- sided. By the extension of the nave and the north and south aisles it is proposed to make the building In-early double its present length. Provision is made for a. porch at each cornier of the structure in Wood-street, and in the basement it is intended to instaJ. he.atin.g apparatus. When completed, the building will be a. worthy addition to the churches of Cardiff. The committee approved the plans.
