VO-OAYt SHORT STORY.] Uncle Dudley's Aid to Progress. jr .————— By S. E. KISER. I (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.) I It is not in Uncle Dudley Bostwick's nature to take things merely as they come. WTiile reading in his farm journal one day, his attention was claimed by an item con- taining the information. that cows are especially fond of the music of the bagpipe. "By playing a bagpipe in the barnyard," tfie writer explained, "cows can be induced to give more milk than they would otherwise, and they make less fuss about it than when they are operated on in the ordinary way. This is a fact that has been demonstrated ty science, and the time is probably coming when every well-regulated dairy_will have its corps of paid pipers." Uncle Dudley, who owns a profitable dairy a short distance from the city, was not slow to act. "1 don't believe," he said to Pomeroy, his hired man, "in waitin' for other people to take the lead. The man who does that never gets far ahead in this world. Look at the men that have done the great things. None of 'em ever waited for somebody else to do what they done first. Moees was the first that ever started out in his business. It was the same with Washington, Lincoln, and all the rest. If they'd waited around to let somebody else go ahead and try it, where would they be to-day? So it is a 1t through life. You can't ever be a leader from back behind somewhere." Pomeroy said he didn't believe in the bag- pipe theory, but he was silenced with logic 1 that was not likely to be put aside. "Why are you workin' here for me, Dave?" Uncle Dudley demanded. "It am t because you haven't had just as many chances in this world aa I've had. The trouble is, you haven't the go-ahead spirit. If you had the courage to try things before other people think of it. instead of bein' a hired man, you'd be hirin' people." Uncle Dudley went to a Scotch clothing ptore in town the next day, and found where I he could hire a piper who was out of a job. "I dunno," the old man said after he had t-aken a long look at Sandy, "whether you d best come with them kind of clothes on or not. Did you ever meet a cow when you was dressed that way?" "Hoot, mon! Gan awa' replied the piper, who was a native of Connecticut, "gin the maun come this way, I won't come at all." He had once played the Laird in "Trilby," but that was in happier days, before his thirst had become chronic. Now, the "hie- land" costume furnished by the clothing company was the only suit he possessed. His inclination to give it up was, therefore, due to no inborn prejudice. "It ain't the bare legs I'm thinkin' about specially," Uncle Dudley explained, "but I thought mebby if you left off that red petti- coat and the shawl, the cows might give down better. It's aJl right, though, if you can't play without 'em. Come along, and we'll see how it works. If this thing turns out proper, I'll probably want to hire you by the month. Couldn't you make it go all right with a pair of them long golf stockin's on?" The piper insisted that his costume was aJl it should be for the best results from the pipes, and he arrived at farm during the next forenoon, when he W'B4 conducted through the sheds and barns by Uncle Dudley. "There," the old gentleman said, nodding &t a barrel as they were passing through the carriage house, "is some of the best hard cider in this county. Of course, if you can't play as well without the red petticoat, it's all right. Do they take much to hard cider in Scotland ?" "Well," replied the piper, forgetting his dialect, "I never saw any over there." Uncle Dudley explained how much sugar and how many pounds of raisins were required to make a barrel of cider yield the best results, and then led the way to the milking yard, where the piper was to operate later in the day. "Do you have to have your legs bare when you're just learnin' the thing, too?" the old man asked. The piper explained that one might learn it up to a certain point with trousers on; and other matters claiming Unole Dudley s attention, Sandy was then left to amuse him- self as he pleased. If he had been watched, he might have been seen making frequent trips to the carriage-house; but every bod y about the place waa busy, and he therefore used his long ?traw undisturbed. Aunt Priscilla and her sister, Mrs. Weldorc, who had been peeping around corners at him. without permitting themselves to be seen, tihaugfrt Sandy remained in the vicinity of the aider barrel because of a native modesty be had not openly acknowledged. I s'pose," said Uncle Dudley's consort. he natoheLly feels shy with his bare legs I around where he knows there's women.* I don't see why he can't put trousers on when I be ain't PlaYin', though." "Well," th? other lady replied, "these musi- ci- are -cgtly ecentric one way or another. Yoa alwa3?s hear of 'em wea.rin' long hair or dressn' peculiar, 30 maybe this is just his way Off bein,, a genius." Uncle Dudley had approached while they were discussing the subject, and he explained that piping was an a,rt that demanded bare kneee. He had trustworthy information to that effect, and scouted his sister-in-law's theory. "Seems kind of strange, though," Aunt Priscilla said; "pipers must have their lungs in the same place other people have, ain't tney ?" Uncle Dudley didn't stop to discuss the sub- ject, but, going out to the carriage-house, he found Sandy sitting in the back end of the spring waggon, with his bare legs danglings I down. "Of course," said the old man, "you know more about this pipin' than I do; but if you think trousers wouldn't interfere with your piaym, I could lend you a pair, just as well as not." Sandy grunted, and began to pipe mourn- fully. "Or we could let you have & sheet or a blanket, or something that would come fur- ther down than the petticoat, if that- rhe piper emitted a blast that Uncle Dudley interpreted as a sign of displeasure and, returning to where the ladies were, he )aId: We've got to let him have his own way about this thing. It's wrong to interfere in professional matters a body don't under- stand, anyhow. I S'pose if we hire him steady, we'll get used to it in time." The piper continued to imbibe hard "iff. until niilking-time, when Uncle Dudley found him leaning against the barnyard gate, laughing softlv to himself. The cows were d"e' up from ?? pastures, and Pomerov, ana T the boys he had to help him, got their pails ready for action. "I want to milk one of 'em myself," Uncle Dudley said, "so I can see just what effect the music has. I guess I'll take old Spot there. She s always been a hard milker. If she gives down easy to-night, it'll be a sure lign that the plan works. We could still arrange about a blanket or table-cloth, or Ktaiotbing to hide the red petticoat," he said turning to Sandy, "if you think it would be be6t. Hadn't you. better stay outside the fence? Mebby. the cows would rather have their first pipin' not too close." "No," said the piper, who had staggered through the sate, "'m goin' to play 'n here, 0,' 1 won't play 't aU. I'll shew you some pipin' uiat 11 make you 'n the cows think of the bonnie hrown hills far. far awa'. "All ready, boys!" shouted Uncle Dudley, 88 he sat down beside old Spot. "Go ahead, ■anag! There was a long, low, plaintive wail from the pipes, which gradually became louder, a.nd assumed the general charts- teristies of the noise produceti by seven eats on an empty shed. Aunt Priscilla Molld her sister looked on from a safe distance behind the horse-barn, and a dog that had been decenrtly following a team down. the road came bounding into the yard barking furiously. Then Sandy, in the full Itiory of his hiand" costume, began to stride in and out among the cows, playing S' deox li-te. ? oooasMnaAly whcoping like an Indi;an   seconds from the t?nne tttearst note was so?ind? thirty cows were -2sbing hith- and thither. bellowing Uke mad.

RAFFLES' ADVICE TO SLEUTHS.
RAFFLES' ADVICE TO SLEUTHS. I "Use the End that Wears the Hat. > THAT £25 MISSED BY A SCORE YESTERDAY I I DARING PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY. BY THE MYSTERIOUS MR. RAFFLES. Young man, if in love and anxious to wed. but afraid to pop the vital question, do something that will cause the fair young thing to pop that question herself—capture Raffles. Then will she propose to you in double-quick time, and should you venture to show any hesitation she will gag and "mind you, and forcibly abduct you, in spite of all your protestations and struggles. Young woman, they say that beauty pene- trates no deeper than the skin (some men have a sneaking regard for the epidermis, nevertheless), hence 'tis better to be clever than good-looking, but if you lack suitors, why, come along and capture Raffles. That little action will bring the trousered things to your feet in shoals. Can you imagine a greater incentive, Miss? Individuals of both sexes, whose pockets are bulging with filthy lucre, whose tightly- wedged wallets will not admit of an extra 25 of those despicable thirds yclept sovereigns, you individuals would do well to capture Raffles just for the glory of the thing—just I to convince your mi,&taken neighbours that you axe slioker than they thought you were, and bre.inier thac. you look. Oome on in, all of you, the water's just right. And once in go the right way to win; don't go in to lose through your own neglect. I have heard more Raffles talk the past two days than I heard in ether cities* when t,he cha.,e was twice as old. That ought to be an indication of your lc-cal keenness, and I note that many of you are keen enough, but that won't do it alone. Trv and instil a little courage into your acumen, then you may do something worth while. When you rub shoulders with me to- night, don't get up in tbe air; be calm, cool, and collected, like Raffles. I never get ex- cited. That part of the programme I leave to the sleuths. Remember that, while the crowd affords me at the same time it brings me within earshot, often in elbow touch, hence it has its advantages for the sleuth.. Don't pull your suspeot to pieces. If he denies your allegation rest assured that he is not the real article. I have no interest in shirking identification. Put that in your pipes and smoke it. Again and again I have seen a poor sus- pect with the Coat Ripped Oft His Back by a crowd of quarrelling sleuiths, each claiming to be his captor and that hid victim was Raffles. I enjoyed a sight like this, but I don't think the suspect evcr did- If so, his faoe certainly did not express his I satistfaction. And did you ever soe the sweetly benign and exquisitely angelic expres- I sion on the face of the sleuth who has trailed a. suspect, three miles, only to find out that his quarry was a spurious article after all. The facial pulchritude on occasions like these is inexpressibly divine. Some sleuths are like the heels of a mule- perfectly harmless in repose, but diabolically I terrible in action. You know the kind I mean, they of the see-me-catch-that-Raffies calibre. The volcanic eruptivfnass with which they are surcharged is so terrifying that poor Raffles quakes in hia number sevens. I underwent quite a microscopic examina- tion at the hands of a sleuth in that thorough- fare yclept St. Mary-street yesterday. Out I Ion a shop-window spree-th-e only spree you can enjoy without spending Ploney-I was testing my eresight with the glitter of Mr. H I Samuel. effective window display, when Mr. Sleuth threw out his bait. I Somewhat non-plussed by my armour-plated composure, he still condescended to trail my ¡ harmles anatomy through the nearest arcade, and there I baffled him by a I subterfuge, and iie left me to start my i watched life anew. I I The Six Youths I who were discussing Raffles near the Bute i Monument will be immensely pleased with themselves now that they knuw Raffles, know him in so iar that he ventured into their midst with an inquiry anent the location of the Great Western Railway Station. Better luck next time, perhaps. And the party who left his lady love in the Morgan Arcade while he. heid up the pair of muustachios under a fawn "trilby" hat; that party also knows me now, knows me inasmuch as I was a bystander and asked, On the wrong scent?" as he left his quarry. His reply was a sensible one, "Nothing venture, nothing win." Remember this when you go on the hunt to-night, and don't be timid. 'Twill be your fault if I elude you. I am here to be cap- tured. You will find me in the thick of the crowd, right under your very noses. Don't go to sleep, and don't be discouraged because you accost the wrong man a few times, neither get wild and up in the air because you are accosted yourself. It's all in the game, boys. Don't forget the schedule: Eight to nine o'clock St. Mary-street and High-street. Nine to ten o'clock Queen-street. That is providing I am not captured in the meantime. and in that event you will know soon enough. Remember that I am no new hand at this business, remember I hinted that this is a game of heads more than feet, remember this, and USE THE END THAT WEARS THE HAT. Should I escape, you will be put next" to a few of my little beguilements in these columns on Monday. At Ball's the barber's in Penartb-road, I was served by a girl with a box of vest as. Mr. Price, another newsagent, also sup- plied a similar box of matches. Mr. Garidy, the grocer, with the help of his spouse, furnished me with some tobacco. Player's I asked for, but accepted a sub- stitute. Mr. Manchiston, grocer, lower down, fur- ni-shed me with some chocolate caramels. At A. Eaton's I get yet another box of matches. The newsagent next to W. H. Smith's sup- pItied a. packet of note-paper and envelopes, a bright-eyed girl doing the needful. But what have I dSne to the clerk of the weather to be served like this? I

[ CARDIFF EMPIRE. I I A fine all-round company has been secured I for next week. George Gray, "The Fighting Parson," is at the head of the bill, and will I present his latest sketch, entitled Parson I Gray, V.C. a story of love and bravery. George Formby, the famous Lancashire comedian, is to be found at the bottom of the bill. George was borne at Ashton-under- Lyme, although he spent most of his youth at Wigan. I was apprenticed to the mould- ing," he said "in a foundry, but never served my time. I think they got rid of me because I was silly-I was always silly," and the comedian grinned in a manner which seemed to suggest that his silliness had been by no means to his disadvantage. Of course, it takes a very clever man to be a fool, and George Formby is just that sort of fool. The favourite Irish comedian Joe.O'Gorman is another attraction. J. A. Wilson and his talented canine partner; Mavis Clare, a charming soprano vocalist; Dorenda 'and Green, juggling comedians; the Westwoods, expert comedy cyclists; the St. Johns, musicians and dancers: and Ross and LewÎí3, the clever Yankee Doodle duo- are also due.

A Splott Tumult I
A Splott Tumult I MR. CHAPPELL AND POINT OF HONOUR A crowded meeting in furtherance of the candidature of Mr. John Chappell was held last night in Splott School, Cardiff. Mr. W. Williams 'was voted to the chair. Mr. Chappell, in a, detailed account of his stewardship, eaid a guinea a day was. the amount allowed for deputation expenses, with first-class railway fare, and he had never made anything out of those expenses. Was he to be expected to go to a fried fish shop or a doss-house? (Laughter.) As to the Fusion Bili, he was instrumental in getting the corporation to obtain clauses which were the workers' salvation. He was not in the pay oi the fusion." An inoividual asked was it not a fact that Mr. Beasley stood up in the House of Lords, and said the "only opposition that had come from the Labour party was in the person of John Chappell. who he now thought had withdrawn his opposition." The question caused a. storm of commotion. —Mr. CHappell, rising and addressing his questioner, asked, "Are you an emissary from Mr. Beasley? I challenge you or Mr. Beasley to say that any such thing happened." "Is it untrue?" asked the interrupter. Mr. Chappell (defiantly): It is untrue. There was no compact, and not the least sign of a compact, between Mr. Beasley and himself. (Applause.) Mr. G. F. Forsdike, as a colleague of Mr Chappell in the council, enlarged upon the latter's useful work for the twelve years he had been a memter, and said he had sac- rificed so much that it did not seem fair to snatch from him the honour of the Lord rmayoralty just when it seemed to be within hi" reach. A vote of confidence in Councillor Chappell was carried with great enthusiasm. fr. Chappell, in reply, made :38f111e observa- tions upon the Socialist rift in the Labour lute, isayinj it was not by any means plea- sant to be worried as he had been, like a sewer rat, at the hands of the Socialists for the last five years, and he urged the younger spirits not to be carried away with the belief that the Millennium was at hand. Mr. Chappell was differentiating between Socialism and Trades Unionism when inci- dents happened with consequences that were perilously near to violence. The immediatc- cause oi the untoward manifestation was the remark dropped by Mr. Chappell that a canvasser had reported that a m,an called at his (the councillor's) house twice when he was not in, and that on the third night he called again, and his (Mr. ChappelTs) wife or daughter said he was too tired to be n. Any of his neighbours would tell them that that was not so. Nobody had ever been sent from his door. The Storm Bursts A man said, "I am the man who called there." "Bring him up here," shouted Mr. Chappell, as ha pointed to his wife and daughter, who sat near to him, and demanded of the questioner, "Did either cf these ladies say that I was tired?" The man explained that on the occasion he called, as requested, he was told that Mr. Ohappell had had a busy day, and was lying down, and could not see him. To that both Mrs. and Mise Chappell gave a denial point-blank. Mr. Chappell (to the individual): What did you come about?—About allotments. Mr. Chappell: You tell a deliberate lie. (Uproar.) I can bring a witness to prove what I have said," was the answer. I went to Walter Thomas's the same night and explained the position, and he invited me in aud told me what I wanted to know." Mr. Chappell: Come to the scratch. Challenging his interrogator, the speaker asked him when it was, and the reply was that it was some two years ago. I remem- ber the two ladies," said the man, calmly. Mr. Chappell: Do you say my wife has told a lie? I say it is a lie," was a rejoinder that provoked hostility and uproar. ,&A youth in another part of the room asked, in a piping voice, if a man wasn't justified in taking a rest. Mr. Chappell (now thoroughly roused and with eyes flashing) said: No. A man who will say a woman is a liar is The answer came quickly, I didn't say she was a liar." (" Oh.") Mr. Chappell: Let those believe it who will. My wife'is a truthful woman, and so. is my daughter. (Applause.) It is well this is in a public meeting, or, by heaven, I wouldn't etand i.t! (Applause.) The meeting culminated abruptly, the doughty councillor protesting that it was the first time any dirty cur had called his wife a. liar, amd he would make him sit up for it. (Applause.) After the wordy warfare further eoenes were apprehended, but wise counsels pre- vailed.

Motoring at Night 1 SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE AT INQUEST I Remarkable evidence was given at the in- quest at Exmo-uth yesterday on the body of Wiltiam James Cundy, foreman printer, off Exeter, who was killed in a motor accident at midnight < n Wednesday. James Reader, landlord of the Mount Pleasant Inn, Ex mouth, said he -refused to supply drink to Mr. GiWson, the driver of the car, as he wa, boisterous in manner and rather flushed, but he would net say that he had had too much to drink. Joseph Ijamacraft, proprietor of the Coach and Horses Inn, said that the party called at his house, and ail were ;• ber. Other witnesses gave evidence as to Gibson beting in a tit state to drive the oar, but an Exeter constable said that Dymond, another occupant of the car, was the worse for liquor. It was stated by Dr. Beesley that when he tried to staunch Dymond's cut, the latter put himself in a fighting attitude, and had to be restrained by the police. In police eviderce, it was stated thl-ut Dymond said the accident was Gibson's fault, and that, when he tola Gibson to be careful, he replied, Let her go. Let's see whait she can do." A irotor engineer k-ave it as his op-inion that the car was going cut thirty-live miles an hour Gibson was still unconsciio-us, and Dymond also being unable to attend tha inquiry was adjourned for a, month.

Pride of place is given to historical incidents in the life of Julius Ca'sa-r, pour- trayed in vivid fashion on the screen. Those who have fallen victims to "graceful fever," as roller-skating is described, will welcome the set depicting what happens at an Aus- tralia.n open-air rink. It is one of the world's fastest and largest rinks, and hundreds of persons are seen in full enjoyment thereon. Then "skates off" is signalled, and the clear- ing of the rink enables the world's champion to show his skill. It is a seasonable series. Another big item was Ben's Kid," con- ta.ined in which is a blend, of humour, pathos, and excitement. As may be ima- gined, the story styled "Judge Not" provides a moral, and it is driven home in clever bioscopic fashion. "Charming Children" is a laughable household study, in which two young incorrigibles show what they are made of after being apparently tucked up securely in bed, whilst a distinctly dramatic flavour is to be tasted in "The Treacherous Gauoho," given in four tableaux. Then there is "The New Jonah," which will not fail to provoke mirth, and sandwiched between are other interesting serioe. On the vocal side popular Sam Taylor ful- fils tho last week of his engagement by fresh comic songs, Miss Maude Criddle will sing "The Better Land" to beautiful illustra- tions, and the rising baritone, Mr. Fred Dyer, introduces the new pictorial song, "Nobody knows, nobody cares."
RUBBER -KING'S FORTUNE I
RUBBER -KING'S FORTUNE I The alttemrpt of Prinoesl Louise of Belgium to obtain a lean from the Hamburg Bank on the security of her inheritance has caused astonishment. It is true that according to Belgian law King Leopold cannot disinherit hds children, but during his lifetime he can dispose of his property as he chooses. The royal fortune is not believed to be so much as £ 5,000,000, and it is diminishing day by day in consequence of. gifts a'nd endowments. Only a short t,ime ago the snm of X20,000 was given to an individual who 1J.,ad won King Leopold's favour. In responsible circles King Leopold is credited with the intention of leaving nothing to his daughters, the Princess Louise and the Princess Stephanie, and all his transactions of late tend to sup- port this view.
I SMARTCAPTUREOFMURDERERI
SMARTCAPTUREOFMURDERER I Thanks to the smartness of a bicyclist who was riding in Grunewald Forest, the man who murdered the girl in a baker's shop in the east of Berlin has been arrested. The .cyclist resognised in a passer-by the presumed murderer who was sought by the police, whose portrait had been published in the newspapers. He shot a, bow at a venture, and suddenly cried, "Good morning, Herr Juenemanii," this being the name of the last man seen with the murdered girl. Juene- niamn at once took to his heels, the cyclist chasing him. Thereupon the former attempted to shoot himself, but only slightly wounded his cheek. He was secured and taken to the prison hospital, where he con- fessed the crime of murder a,nd the robbery of the till.
I THE CINEA THEATRE 1
I THE CINEA THEATRE 1 So great has been the success of the films depicting Lieutenant Shackleton's dash to the Sooth Pole that, the management of the Electric Cinema Theatre, in Queen-street, Cardiff, have decided to continue the feature for another week, supported, of course, by a number of new and entertaining bioscoic films of a humorous and dramatic nature. To-day (Saturday) the performances will open at 11.30 a.m., so as to enable school-children to enjoy the educational value of the Polar pictures, and the prices of admission for juveniles will be reduced one-half. To-mor- row (Sunday) a sacred performance takes place, and tlfe entire proceeds go to charity, a prominent city councillor promising to apportion the money.

Bachelors' Joke I
Bachelors' Joke I BRIDEGROOM PAINTED CREEN 1 A wealthy Benedict and hie bride, the daughter of a prominent stockbroker, are about to figure in a singular prosecution as the result of their inability to appre- ciate a typical American joke. The husband in his Unregenerate days belonged to a bachelors' club of Philadel- phia. Two months ago he became a rene- gade-he travelled south and married a lady to whom he had been betrothed for two years. When the newly-married couple, return- ing from their honeymoon on Thursday, passed through Philadelphia they were met <I.t the station by thirty mieogynist comrades of the Benedict's bachelor days. The misogy- nists affected a spirit of congratulatory hilarity, and insisted that the couple should parlaka of a champagne breakfast at the station. Instead, they separated the pair, leading the 'bride to a ramshackle wagon, while they painted the husband's face red and green- the club's colours—and placed him on the back of a donkey, which was driven up Market-street. One of the bachelors was then deputed to kidnap the bride, which lie did by taking her to the train and telling her that her husband would soon join her. When the train started without her hus- band the bride became hysterical, entirely failing to appreciate the humour of the situation. The bridegroom escaped his tor- mentors in time to catch the next train to New York, where he joined his weeping wife. The New York World states that the couple have decided to prosecute the authors of the joke.

NEWPORT EMPIRE I
NEWPORT EMPIRE I The prince of sketch comedians, Harry Roxbury, appears at the Newport Empir9, and presents his latest and greatest produc- tion, "Sergeant Longfellow," an Fgyptian musical comedy. Mr. Roxbury, js, of course, in the title role, and Miss Vashti Wynne, his charming and clever wife, who has written the book and lyrics, appears as the Princess. Also included in the cast is Mr. Eric Camp- bell, who claims to be the heaviest and tallest comedian on the stage. The story of this new Egyptian musical comedy centres round Ruby Palace, on the banks of the Nile, the home of "Princess Niskah," a part which is admirably delineated by Mias W^nne. Ser- geant Longfellow is engaged to protect a precocious sea captain, but the latter enters the sacred temple wearing boots and is con- demned to die at the jaws of the crocodiles, or to marry the princess. The wily captain, hearing of the forthcoming trouble, changes cloths^ with the sergeant, with most ludicrous results. The dresses and scenery are magnificent.

The keeper coloured. "Yes, sir," he -answered, at timee." "Then why do you allow her so much freedom?" We can't help it." Can't help. 'it? Stuff and nonsense, man!

IWORTH KNOWING-i
I WORTH KNOWING -i The terrible itching caused by eczema stops with the first application of the 'new discov- ery, Cadum, an antiseptic that goes direct to the seat of the trouble, allays inflammation and rapidly destroys all disease-producing germs. The healing process begins the moment COOum is applied: distinct relief is felt at once, and eftch successive application promotes the formation of new tissues until the affected part is entirely replaced with a growth of perfectly healthy skin. For pimspdes, rash, blotches, blackheads, ciiafingB, barber's itch, acne, herpes, scaly skin, erup- tions, sores, scurvy, etc.. nothing else cures like Cadum. Mrs Bishop, Burton Hill, Mahnesburr, Wilts., says:—"My baby was cohered from head to feet with weeping eczema. A few weeks' use' of Cadum com- pletely cnred her."

Billiard Problem-No. __3
Billiard Problem-No. 3 By JOHN ROBERTS.. I Our next problem presents a grouping of I the balls, which is of' frequent occurrence, I and is very likely, indeed, to con- front the ama- teul, who has made more than a. little progress with the top of the table game. Such a player often the balls much too nearly straight in hrne for his liking, and it is not the. easiest thing in the world to decide what is the beat stroke to play when thD bal-Is are 'Ove-rEd," or nearly so. The problem beiore us is a typical leave of this description. The I cue-bail i.s 24in. from the right side cushion I and 4in. from the top cushion, the red ball touches the top cushion, and is one inch to the ri.^h.t of the billiard spo,t. The object white is 25in. from the left side cu?ion and ?2?,i.n. from the top c-u?iic?n. What is the b-est stroke to play? I Solution of Problem No. 2. I To solve this problem correctly it is neces- sary to remember the very useful fact that, under botli tne Billiard Control Club rules and those of the Billiard Associa- tion, it is per- missible for a player to send his ball cm to a cushion inside baulk when play- ing at an objoct baJll outside baulk. So a stroke from the left side cushion which first strikes the red ball deals with the posi- tion. The stroke is not at all difn- cult, but care must be taken n'ot to. hit the white first, or a 'foul will be made. Play without a,ny tide on the cue ball at the angle shown in the diagram, a.nd employ moderate strength, when a eco-re is certain to result. JOHN ROBERTS.
CROSS-CANNONS.
CROSS-CANNONS. By RISO LEVI (Copyright). -L. anagram 642 illustrates a position wnion is typical of similar position which often occur at the top of the table. The cannon off the cushion presents no difficulty whatever to any moderate player, but many very fair players often make the mistake of playing the stroke very slowly indeed in order not to separate the object balls more than is absolutely necessary. When the object balls are only a few inhces apart and the same kind of stroke as the cannon shown on the diagram, has to be played, it is the correct game to play with very gentle strength, for in this way Eeveral consecutive cannons of the same nature can often be made. Lach one of these cannons, however, leaves the objeot balls a little farther apart than they were previous to the stroke having been played, and only a very limited number of such cannons ca.n be made, even by good amateurs, before the slow stroke must be abandoned if good position is to be retained. lA ?nn.on Off the top cushion, 4ril)bhng t'he "?t0P CI,3ll"' dr?b b!u'gthe Vte w tte^vicinni^ty oof f ?"?'

W ith the balls situated as on Diagram 642, Ins.. therefore, of play- i.Tl,g the cannon quite gently enough pace should be used to send the red right up to the pocket. In this way a perfect leave may be obtained from the stroke, and the break continued. The canqon would be of exactly the same nature, as regards driving the red to the corner pocket, were the balls placed in a similair position near the side cushion at an equal distance from the pocket, and Diagram 642 is, therefore, given hero as another example of the short cross-cannons. The position occurs more frequently at the top of the table than at the side of the table. Mr. Levi's articles appear every Saturday in the "Evening Expreee." No. 1 of this series appeared on October 3, 1903.

THREE DONT'S FOR WEAK STOMACHS.
THREE DONT'S FOR WEAK STOMACHS. IF YOU HAVE INDIGESTION IN ANY FORM THERE ARE THREE THINGS YOU MUST NOT DO, THREE THINGS YOU MUST GUARD AGAINST: IN OTHER WORDS- THREE DONT'S. If you have indigestion, loss of appetite, sour stomach, belching, sour watery risings, headaches, sleeplessness, lack of ambition, nausea and other symptoms peculiar to all stomach troubles, there are three things you must not do. First—Don't neglect your stomach by letting it take care of itself, because it will constantly grow worse. Second-Don't use cheap tonics," "drugs" and "pills," which simply iftitate and inflame the stomach and intestines, and which will ruin your health completely; and Third-Don't starve yourself, because by so doing you are robbing the body of its proper nourishment. I. A large number of people do one of these three foolish things. That's why they never regain their former health. Starvation is a common practice among people who have weak stomachs, but does it sound reasonable to you to deprive the body of its nourishment every time you wish to give the stomach a rest ? We admit that your stomach needs rest-in fact, that's the very point we wish to impress upon you; but there is a better, safer, quicker, and more pleasant way to give your stomach a rest than by the starvation method. What you need is something that will take the place of your stomach and do its work— some substitute that will digest and assimilate the food, thus giving the body its proper nourishment without taxing the stomach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the best substitute known, because they contain the very agencies necessary to digest all foods. They contain vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic pepsin (government test), golden seal, and diastase. These elements will thoroughly digest and assimilate any and all foods, so you can eat all you want. Experiments and tests have proven that one grain of the active principle contained in these tablets will digest 3,000 grains of meat, eggs and other wholesome foods. One or two of these wonderful tablets taken after each meal will relieve your stomach of practi- cally all the work, thus giving it the much- needed rest. Keep this up for a short time and vour stomach will soon regain its health and strength. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are put up in the form of little tablets or lozenges, are easy and pleasant to take, and cannot lose their strength by evaporation. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold in boxes by all chemists in the kingdom at iiii. I 2/9 and 4/6. I We would like to have you try them before you buy, so if you will send us your name and address we will send you, absolutely free, a sample package of these wonderful tablets. Write to-day to F. A. Stuart Co.,86 Clerkenweli Road, London, E.C.
