His Lord- sltip. who took for his subject the life of St. Andrew, congratulated the parishioners on the excellent work they had done in pro- moting Church work in the district. In the evening the Ven. Archdeacon Edmondes preached. The Vicar (the Rev. T. R.

< I For Women Folk HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES I Christmas Decoration The mistletoe bough, which is invariably such a feature of the hall. can be made far more decorative if a, little holly is mixed with it. while several little true lovers' knots of various bright-coloured ribbons tied on to the stem, which have their ends caught up in a festoon to the four comers of the I hall, make a. great deal more of this other- wise not very gay decoration. I Laying in Christmas Provisions Generally one can estimate the number of people who are likely to sit round the Christmas tabie. so that a fa-ir idea can be gathered of the amount of food likely to be required. Still. one can never be sure but what a long-absent friend or relative may I decide to pay a visit at the season which brings tenderness to the heart, so that it is as well to provide for the contingency by laying in a. small stock of such things as potted meats, bottled soups, packet jellies, and tinned meats and fruits, which may come in useful. and yet which will not spoil if they are kept unused over Christmas. I To Stew a Brisket of Beef Take a square piece of the brisket, strew over it a little salt, let it lie a night or two, I then boil it in soft water very gently till the bones and gristle will come ont. Score it on the top as you do pork, strew on it while f I hot cayenne, salt, a,nd powdered mace; let it stand half an hour, then put. it in a stew- pan with as much brown gravy as will cover it. and stew gently for three-quarters of an hour. Skim off the fat, and add a. spoonful of walnut ketchup; thicken it a little with cornflour, and have ready some celery. turnips, onions, and carrots sliced and boiled tender. Lay your beef in a dish. put the vegetables around it. pour over the gravy (boiling hot), and serve.

I THE PARADOX OF LIFE Somebody's fortune-means somebody's ruin. Success of the one—another's undoing. How difficult 'tis to know how to act. When we realise this paradoxical fact. And yet were it not so. increasingly sad. The state of affairs would be equally bad. All enterprise ceases directly you wean These conflicting elements. fat and the lean. Weighing matters up broadly this argument's backed By this most appalling and terrible fact: That the bread which two-thirds of humanity win Is directly or otherwise tainted with sin. The Doctor, too. comes with his pill and his bill What on earth would he do if we never were ill? His calling is sure. for with health in our veins It's then we most often relinquish the reins. Peace meetings and Dreadnoughts, grim emblems of strife. How very essential these both seem to life: The one to our sorrow we have to maintain, To ensure that the other idea shall reign. The slum and the castle, the cottage and throne. Eradicate either and what have you done? Have you not (well intentioned perhaps) as I've said Incentiveless left its co-partners as dead? Perpetuate sin? Nay, it's not my desire, But to know where we stand, and to what we aspire. And to prove from sheer facts—with neither eye shut- Humanity gropes in a terrible rut. -H. Moss.

I Passing Pleasantries. "Why don't you ask that young man up to tea, some evening, dear?" "I don't believe it would do any good. He's a confirmed bachelor." Two young women who had been great friends in their youth met after the lapse ot many years. They had much to tell and to hear of all that had happened in the interval. Both had been married, and among other things one said: "You know, I live in Africa. on an ostrich farm, and my htisband is otten three whole days at a time on an ostrich." "Oh, that's nothing." said the other. "My husband ie often away three whole weeks at a time on a. lark!" "I want something for my liver," said the stranger "Podkins' pills are the very thing for you," the chemist replied. "No. I wnn t try them." "But." said the chemist, "they are recom- mended by the whole medical profession, and their efficacy is testified to by thousands of the most enthusiastic testimonials." Th6 stranger shook his head. "All my customers swear by them." the cheinibt continued. "In fact. Podkins' pills for the liver are the most wonderful medicine on earth." "I know all that," said the stranger. "Then why won't you try them?" urged the chemist I "Well, you see, I am Podkins." One fine Sunday morning a tourist arrived at a kirk in Rofwt-shire. intending to enter for the English service as soon as the Gaelic was over. "Is the Gaelic service over?" he inquired of the beadle. "No. but it will not be fery long." So the tourist strolled on into the kirkyard, where the tombstones lay deep in the long grass. By-and-by he was re-called by the shouts of the beadle, who stood at the door waving on him. "But is the Gaelic service over?" he asked once more. o "0 ay. It will be over." "But I have not seen the congregation— which way did it go?" The beadle directed his attention to a solitary figure slowly wending his way up the bill. and said. "That' hum

Woman's CriesU nheeded 1 0. I TWO COLLIER CENSORED j The^rnysterious death of a. woman-who was foond in the yard of Moreton Farm. ffonnrfftEsfoot. on Monday was inquired into by the deputy-ooroner, Mr. T. T. Allen, and a jury on Wednesday. The deceased was Mrs, Esther Phillips, wife of the village blacksmith. The husband stated that his wife said she was going for a walk in the fields. and this was the last he saw of her. Coroner; Was she addicted to drink?—Oh. yes, dreadful. I By the coroner: Often his wife told him ) that she was going to see the doctor, but he found out from the doctor she seldom went to see him. The Coroner: She deceived you?—Yes. William Couzens, a, farmer, of Moreton, said that on Monday morning at 7.30 he found woman's clothing strewn about one of hie fields. He took up the trail, and came across the body in his yard. Her face was in a couple of inches of mud, and the body had little covering. John Henry Edwards, a. collier, said he passed through the farmyard at 11.35 on Sunday night on the way to work. He saw someone there all white." but could not say what it" was. He went ne-ar against it and said Good night." and it." replied, "Good night." After he had gone forty yards "she" shouted for help, but as he felt a hit timid he kept on his way. A Juryman; Did yon think it was a ghoP- A ghost, I thought it was in the beginning. The Coroner: You deserve to be oensured for not going back. Dr. W. C. Evano's evidence went to show that the woman had died from suffocation. He did not think she had had a. fit, hut was suffering at the time from delirium tremens. The jury returned a verdict of Death from exposure," and censured the witness Edwarde for his cowardly conduct.

Samples of Wine ♦ PUBLIC SCHOOL MAN'S TRICK An interesting case was tried at Aberga- tried at Aberga. venny on Wednesday, when John Herbert Chichester Miles, said to have held a good educational position at Bedford School, was charged with obtaining 49 bottles of port wine, value E7 7s.. by false pretcnoes from Mr. T. H. Facey, wine merchant, Abergavenny, and, further, with obtaining them by fraud. Mathew Knight, landlord of the Abbey Hotel, Llanthoney, said that early in April he received an unstamped letter from Miles saying that recently he had visited the hotel and had tasted some very choice port. He would like a sample bottle, and if it was satisfactory he would want some dozens. witness handed the letter to Mr. Facey, as he had only a small stock. Mr. Facey said he sent a sample bottle, and later, at Miles's request, four dozen bottles. The high quality paper on which the letters were written, the good handwriting, and the high-sounding address—Old Ford End- deceived him. Detective-sergeant Tingey (Bedford) said prisoner resided in a 3s. a week cottage, and was in poor circumstances. About the middle of June a distress was levied at his house, but there were not sufficient goods to levy on. PI isoner had done no regular work for years. There had been sixteen judgment summonses against him, and ten executions had been levied, whilst he had twice been sent to prison for debt. He had obtained from a firm in Edinburgh clothes value S9 10s., which he had pawned; and sheets. &c., from a firm at Bristol, which he had also pawned. From a firm at North wich he had obtained cream cheeaes. The Chairman: Were those pawned? (Laughter.) The detective replied that they could not be traced. Prisoner also sent a letter to a hotel at Cirencester saying that some little time ago he visited the hotel and tasted Scotch whisky, of which he wanted a sample, (Laughter.) Prisoner claimed that it was his first criminal offence. He was in financial difficul- ties, and hoped to make a Is. profit on each bottle of wine by selling them to a friend, but the latter died. He had been educated at one of the great public ilehoote, and one of the universities He was given six months' hard labour. «

I CAMPAIGN AGAINST RATS. I LLANDAFF MEDICAL OFFICER'S I FATAL VIRUS. I Dr.' Prichard, medical officer to the Ilan- da?/District Council, reported to that body on Wednesday very fully as to the prevention of plague through rats. He stated that without rats there would be no danger of plagae, and there should be a systeihatic and continuous destruction of rats. He emphasised the importance of strict cleanli- 4 ness, the removal of all garbage from the vicinity of houses, and the stopping of rat- ¡ runs with broken glass and tar. He would be glad to know of places infested by rats. I He could supply a very efficient virus for their destruction. It produced an infectious disease, from which they died. The Chairman (General Lee): Where does he go to pass away hie last hour? (Laughter.) Dr. Prichard: He runs to his hole, I sup- poee. (More laughter.) WHITCHURCH OMNIBUS SERVICE. The tarrtiff Tramways Company (Limited) wrote stating that everything possible was being done, to give Whitchurch a good and efficient omnibus service. But they pointed out that the roads were in a shocking condition, and any stoppages occurring were due to the bad roads. They had decided to issue children's tickets at reduced fares on days when schools were open. The Clerk (Mr. M. Warren) said he had replied that the breakdowns were not due to the bad state of the roads, but to the bad condition of the 'buses. Mr. Peter Sharpe disagreed with that view. Canon Buckley said the concession of chil- '¡ dren's tickets was the result of an interview between the company and members of the council. (Hear, hear.) It was resolved to send a copy of the latter to the county authority. The hackney carriage and omnibus com- mittee reported that Messrs. Barton Bros., Beeston. had written stating that, after consideration, they did not think a 'bus service to Llandaff would pay, and, as it might bring them into bad favour with pri- vate carriage owners, they did not intend proceeding. ELECTRIC LIGHT FOR ROADS. Whitchurch Parish Council wrote asking I that two or three of the principal roads should be lighted by electricity. The Clerk said the electric lighting committee merely wanted the authority of the council to comply with this request, which was granted. It was resolved that the applications for the extension ot the cable in Kelston and Wing- field roade be deferred until the precise demand was ascertained. BAILIFF'S MISTAKEN CALL. The highways and building committee recommended that a request from the Whit- church Parish Council should be complied with—that Hawthorne-road West should be known as Hawthome-road in future, and that Hawthorne-road East be re-named Thompson- road. The Clerk (Mr. M. Warren) said that they had no power to do as requested. Canon Buckley said that they had altered Solomons-road, at Llandaff. to a more appropriate name. Mr. Edmund Lewis said a bailiff due at a house in one road had been known to go to the same number in the other road. (Laughter.) It was agreed that noth- ing could be done, and the recommendation was deleted. GOOD ROADS AT DINAS POWIS. Mr. D. T. Alexander wrote expressing the hope that the roads at Dinas Powis would not be broken up. He had never known the roads to be in such a good condition as now, and it was a great advantage to get about without being covered with mud. The Surveyor (Mr. Holden) said nervous drivers thought the gravel they had been using was dangerous. He would try a new kind. There was no occasion to break, up the roads. BETTER TALKER THAN WORKER. Mr. D. R. Morgan asked that the sur- veyor (Mr. J. Holden) should engage the un- employed whenever possible. l The Surveyor; I put on one man, but he would rather make a speech than do a day's work. (Loud laughter.)

Association Game. I THE YOUNG IDEA. UNIQUE ATTRACTION AT NIXIAN PARK. [By CITIZEN."] At Nin ÜtTl Park on Saturday Association footba.11 enthusiasts who lack the leisure for the long journey to Salisbury with Cardiff City may combine pleasure with the wioonragement of a good ca/ose by witnessing the re-played tie in the English Schools Shield Competition between Cardiff Boys and Barry Boys, a. game which will provide plenty of good football, in which the enthusiasm of boyhood is combined with the thoroughness of manhood and the youngsters exhibit an earnestness which would not detract from the game of players of larger growth. The teams to meet in the present case played a.t Barry on November 12. when a firaw of two goals each resulted. There was then little to choose between the rival sides, and another very even contest is sure to be witnessed. The winners of the 7match will have to play the winners of Aberdare v. Wrexham, a.nd should the Cardiff lads be successful on Saturday, and follow this up with another victory in the next round, they will then be drawn against a team from the Midlands. The Cardiff School-s Football League, the body responsible for the maintenance of the game in the elementary schools of the city, deserve the generous encouragement of the football-loving public, and especially of the adherents of the Cardiff City Club. Every smart boy footballer turned out as the result of the fostering care of the Cardiff Schools League is a potential asset to the City Club. Some day one of these youngsters will be found good enough to play for Cardiff Citv. and his advance to fame will make every nipper in every elementary school at once envious of his distinction and ambitious to follow in his footsteps, and the more clever and enthusiastic young players the schools produce the merrier for Cardiff City. Hence it is to be hoped the Association followers of Cardiff City who stay at home on Saturday will imagine that the game at Ninian Park is a. Southern League match and signify the same in the usual manner by being there to see it. CARDIFF CITY SUPPORTERS. air. h. J. Petch presided ever a meeting of Grangetown supporters. when it was decided to form a Grangetown branch of the Cardiff City Supporters' Club. Mr. W. Phillips, who was elected chairman of the j branch, pointed out that they were under the authority of :Re central body, ana not a separate organisation, as had been erroneously reported. They hoped to have 100 members by the end of the year. A meeting will be held this (Thursday) evening at the Grange Hotel to enrol members and elect a committee. Over 300 names were handed in. Arrangements for the Salisbury trip will be made at a general meeting of supporters at the Bristol and South Wale-s Hotel to-morrow evening.

ROXBURGH'S REVERSE. INTERESTING CHARITY MATCH AT CARDIFF. G. T. P't«. R. A. GIBBS'S (Cardiff) TEAM;1 7 26 Cardiff Hoxburgh 0 2 6 Although there was not a really large attendance on the Cardiff Arms Park on Wednesday for the annual charity match between Cardiff and the Roxburgh, one of the best of the local clubs, it is gratifying to know that a large sum had been netted by th,, sale of tickets beforehand, and that as a consequence many a poor home in Cardiff will he stocked with edibles at the coming Christmastide. The Roxburgh Club deserve very much credit for arranging the annual iixture. Lord Ninian Stuart kicked off, amid loud cheers, and before the game had been long in progress Spiller followed up a kick and scored a try. which W. L. Morgan failed to convert. Pascoe Howell showed excellent form at back, and F. Holbrook made several fast sprints, but he failed to pay due attention to his wing. After an infringement Scanlon broke away, ran up to the full-back, and put Mithan over with a try. which Gibbs failed to convert. The Roxburgh attacked, and D. Ferrier struck the post with a drop at goal. A moment later J. V. Thomas scored a good try. which was left unconverted. After good passing J. L. Williams scored a smart try for Cardiff, but again the extra points were not added. R. A. Gibbs taking the kick. The Roxburgh were by no means a weak side, and they made several clever attacks. Soon after the restart J. L. Williams bril- liantly beat the full-back for a corner try. but the scorer's kicR for goal was the reverse of brilliant. Smart passing by the Roxburgh produced a try by R. H. Gunn, who made a fine dash for the line. No goal. J. L. Williams took a pass beautifully with one hand, and ran in with a clinking try, but Pascoe Howells failed to convert. A. Gibbs. the Cardiff outside half, several times did some smart things. R. A. Gibbs scored a corner try, which waa left unconverted by Yewlett. Gibbs, a few minutes later, again ran in with a nice try, which was not improved upon: Holbrook. after a short run, scored under the posts, Morgan having no difficulty in adding the extra points.

Hero of the Ring I DEATH OF JEM MACE I 1 Jem Mare. the well-known pugilist, died at Jarrow on Wednesday. The end of the old champion was a peacefnl one. He was in his eightieth year, and death wa.s due to senile decay. I The death of Jem Mare will re-call many memories of the prize ring. Born at Bilston, Norwich, on April 3, 1851, he was in his 80th year, a.nd had outlived nearly all his con- temporaries. His celebrity rla,tes back to the days of Sayers. Heenan, and Tom King, when fights with bare fists had not been superseded by the mfrdern glove contests. He never met Sayers or Heenan. As a, boxer pure and simple he was vastly their superior, but in the old-time fights some- thing more than scientific boxing was required. Otherwise Tom Sayers would never have been champion. Mace twice fought Tom King. He won the first time, but was beaten in the second battle, a, tre- mendous blow between the eyes settling it. In this case a more or less chance blow upset all calculations. King being in no sense com- parable to Mace in point of skill. He was, however, much the bigger and heavier man. It was generally thought by those who knew most about Mace's capabilities that he was never seen to greater advantage than in his famous fight with Joe Goss, about the middle I of the sixties." Goss. a very powerful and skilful fighter, was much fancied by Nat ¡ Langhan and other experts of those days, but Mace, giving a dazzling display, heat him almost pointless. A man of wonderful health and vitality, he retained his skill as a, boxer to an advanced age, but he sadly miscalculated his powers when he ventured on a glove conte.-t,lg-ith Charles Mitchell. The disparity irr^ years was far too great. Mace won the champion- ¡ ship of England—after Tom Sayers had retired-hv beating Sam Hurst in 1861. and fought his last battles in America, beating Tom Allen in 1870, and having a draw with .Toe Coburn in 1372. Before that time bare- knuckle fighting in England had practically iI' -"I r. _1- J. ( come to an end, out. tne era or giove iigutts for huge purses was still far ahead. Mace was the last, and, in some respects, the most remarkable representative of a school that has long since passed away. After h-is active career as a. pugilist v. as over Jem Mace experienced many vicissi- tudes of fortune. When out in Australia he had a big hotel in Sydney, and owned race- horses. but he lost all his money. Much done for him in later years in the shape of benefits and subscriptions. Toward the last he was the recipient of an old-age pen- sion. A few months ago. while Mace was on a visit to South Wales, a boxing display was given at Abercynon for his benefit.

CARDIFF'S BOXING BOOTH. PREPARATIONS FOR THE WELSH V. DRISCOLL MATCH. The Head-constabfe reported to the Cardiff Watch Committee on Wednesday that plans and an application would come before them tor converting the skating rink in Westgate- street into a boxing booth. He did not Know whether the conversion was to be a permanent or temporary one. Mr. Lovat-Fraser: I think it would be a great pity for their own sakes to have box- ing competitions at this rink. I am sure that ladies will not go there if any boxing takes place. Replying to the Lord Mayor, the Head-con- stable said that they had no alternative but to grant the application, provided the plans met the requirements of the committee. Mr. Sydney Jenkins said that he under- stood it was only a temporary conversion to accommodate the Welsh Y. Driecoll match. When the plans came before the committee they were approved of. although the chair- man (Dr. Smith) said he was very sorry to see the skating rink degraded into a boxing booth. We understand that it ie not the intention of the management to convert the Rink into a permanent boxing booth, but simply on this one occasion on account of the fact ttiat there is no other hall available 'and capable of accommodating the thousandf of people who are desirous of witnessing the contest between the two popular Welsh champions. MIDDLE-WEIGHT HONOURS. Billy Papke has made a claitn to me world's middle-weight title, arguing that Sam Langford cannot now do the weight. MORALS NEXT OPPONENT. Knockout Brown is to be matched against 11 Owen Moran, the match to take place at a I New York club in December. SULLIVAN'S CHALLENGERS. .Tim Sullivan is not going to be leit un- disturbed long. Jack Kingsland was first in the field. but Jack wants the belt thrown in into the bargain, and that, of course, can only rest with the National Sporting Club. Then Tom Thomas wishes to reiterate his desire for a return match, without insisting on the belt being at stake. Tom wanta to test the question of sugtriority, and hopes that all the necessary arrangements will be fixed up as smoothly as la?t time." Harry Lewis, too, has come over, and would like to meet either Sullivan or Tom Thomas, or both. He isn't particular. THE BATTLER'S WATERLOO. I Nelson was in a sorry plight when he danced up against Owen Moran for the tenth round, which was the last. Moran had marked him as badly almost in nine rounds as Wolgast had in their long battle. And, what was more, he seemed to realise the impending end. Game he was as ever, but the old wagon had broken down, and try as he might he could not bring into Play against Moran the Powers that had undone so many claimants tor the title he once held. It is always pathetic to see the downfall of a great man, and as Moran ladled out his punishment more than one spectator winced. From a stiff punch on the jaw Battling Nelson fell on his face, not to arise until the fatal count had been tolled off. Like all the rest, he had tried once too often. All hate to see an old idol shattered, but, even so, Owen's success was cheered to the echo. FLY-WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.  Eddie Morgan (Merthyr will accept Bat M'Carthy's challenge, and Mr. Dan Davies will back him for EZ5 aidc to box for the fly-weight championship of Wales. FRED DYER, AS MICAWBER.

SECRET OF GRAY S SUCCESS. George Gray, the wonderful boy cueist, who looks like revolutionising billiards over here, tells me that at the end of his season in England he will tour India, China, Japan, and America, under the auspices of John Roberts.

I [The lor Infjestion I A Remarkable Discovery that cures Stomach I 1 Troubles by actually Digesting Food Itself. 1 A positive cure for Indigestion is now available for every sufferer from this painful complaint. Already many hundreds of persons have been cured by it, and in no single instance has it yet been known to fail. The remarkable success of this remedy is due to the discovery of the digestive elements composing the gastric juice and other fluids in the stomach, and their faithful reproduction from natural sources of vegetable and fruit essences. Combined in tablet form and known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, these digestive elements enter into the stomach and thoroughly digest the food eaten. In this way the weak, overworked or disordered stomach is allowed to rest and recover its power, while there is no lack of nutrition to supply the body's needs. None can question the results of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. The ease and comfort with which digestion is accomplished after taking them is a revelation to those whose meals nave ■ hitherto only brought them pain. ■ Digestion is not only made stronger but i the blood made richer, the nerves steadier H and the whole system vastly improv fl in health. I To prove what Stuart's Dyspepsia I Tablets will do in any case of Indigestion R we oHer to send a trial package absolutely N free ot charge on receipt of name and address and the coupon below.
