necessity elapse before the findings can
properly be made public.
The outcorae of the trial cannot be fore
told with any degree of certainty. 1t seems
to be the consensus Of opinion, however
that the proceedings have been, to say the
least educative. The statement Is made
that certain officers during the trial dis
played degree of ignorance that was little
short of astonishing. Although no addi-
donal courts-martial nor even courts of in
quiry are anticipated, it is safe to assume
| that proposed changes among the heads of
several organizations, larger In make up
than companies, are being considered.

Investigating the absence without excuse
of Company A. 9Th Battalion. from the re-
cent semi-annual inspection. 1t Is under

Ed Beeler, the efficient sheriff
of Apache county, stopped over
day and night in Winslow on
his return home from a trip to
the west. 1t had been several
years since we had the pleasure
of meeting Ed. Of course hand
shaking and 'smiles" were the
order of the day. In the after
noon it was a "smile" and then
we would "irrigate, until about
five o'clock, when the sheriff got
sleepy and retired to his room.
Shortly afterward, however, we
met VIM. Morgan, assemblyman
elect from Navajo county to the
territorial legislature, and he
can smile and ''irrigate" of
tener, with less visible effect
than any one we ever had the
misfortune to meet. The result
was we became sleepy and had
to retire.

The average theatrical mana

The average theatrical mana
ger of the present day is so in
tent upon devising novelties to
please the sated public that he
too often overlooks the oppor-
tunities which are furnished bv
the older sort of dramas and
melodramaS. It is one of the
most inspiring signs of the times
however, that the people are
gradually abandoning the hack
neyed farce comedies and the
variety shows, without variety,
for the good old-fashioned plays
in which "heart interest" pre-
dominates. Proof of this state
ment is found in the fact that
one of the greatest successes of
recent years has been achieved
this season by a melodrama in
which love is the pervading SEN
timent. The title of this play
is For Her Sake, land the story
deals with lite in Russia and ST.
IBERIA. Messrs. Rusco & Holland,
who have the piece under their
management, have spared no
labor or expense upon it and
have succeeded in producing a
melodrama which is without
doubt superior to the average Of
Of its kind. "F'or Her Sake
will be seen at the Winslow
Opera House on Saturday night,
December 22d.

Christmasis approaching. The
little and the big children are
making extensive preparations
for its customary observance.
The little ones are hunting the
largest stockings they can find,
while the larger ones are select
ing presents tC fill them. Old
bachelors and widowers have
nothing of the kind to look for
ward to. Their lives are cheer
less, lonely and desolate. Why
don't some kind hearted woman
take compassion on some of them
and adopt one now and then.
