A New Yeaa'S Guide.

There is one book every one should make an effort to get, for the new year. It contains simple and valuable hints concerning health, many amusing anec- dotes, and much general information. We refer to Hostetter's Almanac, pub lished by The Hostetter Co.,, Pitts burgh, Pa. It will prove valuable to any household. Sixty employees are kept at work on this valuable book. The issue for 1901 will be over eight millions, printed inted in the English, German, French, Welsh, Norwegian, Swedish, Holland, Bohemian and Spanish langu- ages. It contains proof of the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the great remedy prepared by the pub fishers, and is worthy of careful preser- vation. The almanac may be obtained free of cost, at any druggist or general dealer in the country.

Sold Imaginary Turkeys.

James P. Taggart came into town from the valley west of Yuma last Saturday with the evident intention of acquiring jag; he came early, per haps to avoid the rush during Christ mas festivities. Taggart's jag was assuming ample proportions, when a stringency in the money market com pelled him to abandon the enterprise or "work" the bar-tenders. The latter wouldn't stand for it, and the flag" was fast fading away, when Taggart happened to think of Pete Hodges, and that MT. Hodges was buying turkeys and chickens for the holiday trade. Happy thought! he would see the meat market man and sell him a whole flock, and with the proceeds the waning jag could be revivified and then rushed to completion before winter set in.
 Mir. Taggart had no turkeys or chickens, but he didn't allow little CulUS IlhO IusAC oCO bIIC OOdl nhlSu AC proceeded to make with Mir. Hodges, to whom he sold all the turkeys and chickens he owned. Taggart seemed to labor under another delusion-that he was married, for he gave the pur- chaser an order on his wife for the fowls, and MT. Hodges paid him two dollars on account, which was soon dissipated on the installment plan in perfecting Mir. Taggart's jag during Saturday afternoon. While his two dollars was being squandered in inc briety. Mir. Hodges time was consum- ed riding over the valley in vain effort to find MT. Taggart and the pur- chased poultry. In the evening he re- turned with the conviction that he had been buncoed, so he had Mir. Taggart arrested. At the trial before Judge Werninger on Monday Taggart was un- able to satisfactorily explain away the evidence against him, but offered, in extenuation, that he was drunk and didn't know why he had acted as he had. The Judge fined him $6.0O and sentenced him to jail for twenty days.

Mack's Narrow Escape.

Jack Mack, formerly bar-keep in a saloon here had lively time lodging bullets the other day in San Diego, from a revolver in the hands of his wife. The following account of the affair is taken from the Los Angeles Times of last Saturday:
 Mrs. Ida Mack made desperate at tempt this afternoon to kill her hus- band, Jack Mack. Mack escaped with out scratch, but P. H. McConville, a bystander, was shot in the thigh. Mack was in the billiard hall of the Bradley saloon, corner Fourth and C street, playing cards. Mrs. Mack entered from the C-street entrance, and, calling for her husband, commenced shooting. Mack ran into the fruit shop, lodging behind the bar, and secreted himself in the readingroom on the Fourth-street side. Mrs. Mack followed there on his heels. firing at close range. After fir ing four shots, MT. Bradley, who was behind the bar and who had a very close call from the third shot, succeeded in engaging the infuriated woman in a discussion until Mack escaped by the Fourth-street entrance.
 When told that she had shot McCon- vile, Mrs. Mack expressed regret, and said that Mack was the man she had meant to shoot, and she was sorry if she had not hit him. She then asked Brad ley to send for the police to arrest her. The revolver, with two chambers load ed, remained in her possession until the arrival of the officers. Later she was arraigned in Justice Murdock's court on the charge of assault with intent to to commit murder, but it is said the case against her is faulty in that Mrs. Mack is charged with an assault on McCOnville. She was released on $500 bail. The hearing was set for Wednes- day morning.
 Mrs. Mack is pretty woman, aged 26, has good education, and bears a good reputation. She has been twice married. She married Mack in Los Angeles two years ago and she says that he has succeeded in getting all the insurance money on her first husbands life. Having done this, she claims, he deserted her last Tuesday evening.

Seeds that Surely Grow.

The cost of seeds compared with the value of the crop is so small that few cents saved by buying second rate seeds will amount to many dollars lost when the harvest is gathered. Farmers have found out by many costly failures what a risky thing it is to buy seeds without being pretty sure that they are reliable and true to name. The latest catalogue Of the seed house of D. M. Ferry x Co, of Detroit, Mich, is a re- hinder that thousands of farmers in the United States and Canada have pinned their faith to the reputation of this great firm. During a business career approaching half a century in time FerrY's seeds have won an annual in- crease in popularity, which is perhaps the best evidence that they grow and give satisfaction. Ferry's Seed Annual for 1901 Is useful guide in selecting seeds for the farm, the truck garden and the flower garden. It is sent free on application.

In no part of the world is there to be found more desirable locality during the winter season for seekers after pleasure-especially hunting and fish ing-than the Gulf of California and the Lower Colorado, and the con- tiguOus territory thereto. In no other section are game and fish so plentiful, and the climate so adapted for the en- jOyment of the spOrtSmen and lovers Of nature in her primitive sublimity.
 Several pleasure parties, perhaps a dozen or more, have made the trip so far the present season, and all were delighted with their experiences.
 The Volcano lake and the Hardy are the seats of sport; also bathing in the hot springs.
 The last to go was party of eight spOrtsmen from Sacramento, headed by Prof. w. Price. At the present time a party of fifteen or twenty is being made up to go to the Gulf on a big hunting and fishing trip, compris- ing gentlemen from Fresno; Judge J.. N. Phillips and friends of Los Angeles; Col. T. w. Brooks, MT. Mulford Win sor, D. l.. DeVane and others from Yuma; three from La FOlt ma and two from the King of Arizona.
 The mode of transportation proposed is to engage the little steamboat Tram, Captain Friant, at cost of $25 to each passenger, which covers the cost of meals as we'll as passage. It will be appropriate for ladies to go as we'll as gentlemen, as all necessary arrange ments will be made for their comfort and diversion. The Tram has sufficient power to tow barge and all small boats necessary to accommodate party of 9, and an all-around good time is assured to those who desire to make the trip.

Two of the men received pardons from the governor, for which they were doubt less more grateful than for any Christ mas gifts they had ever received before. The men pardoned are Fred Hughes, serving a term for embezzlement, and John Shoot, sent up from COcOnino county for manslaughter.
 The displays in the windows of Yuma merchants were very attrative and on Christmas Eve, and for a week or more previous all the stores seemed to be selling lots of goods-especially such as were suitable for presents. On Christ mas afternoon all of the general stores were closed, and the town except about the saloons presented the appearance of Snnday-and we suppose everybody went some where to eat a turkey dinner, either at their own home or somebody else's home, and thus passed peacefully, and without unusual or unworthy in- cident the last Christmas of the nine teenth century.
