Fifty fat beef cattle were taken by Albert Hodges from the Palo Verde Valley to Yuma last Saturday, to sup ply the markets of that place. Hodges decided not to use the ferry, but to swim the cattle across the Colorado River, and drove them into the water, expecting them to land at the South en Pacific depot But the current was strong, and the cattled drifted down stream until they landed on a sand bar below the railroad bridge, and there they mired. It was necessary to use a block and tackle to get the animals out on the Yuma side

AN ATTEMPT AT RATIFICATION.

Though the nomination of MT Bryan for president is conceded: though it is certain that no antagonism at all will be encountered at Denver. he is curiously without the enthusiastic support Of most democrats of national prominence and is more or less op- posed by the leading democratic news papers of the country. It is plain that if the choice Of a candidate lay with the politicians MT Bryan would be overwhelmingly defeated. IL is real ized by them, though. that Bryan is the only democrat who could have even the slenderest chance of election Though his defeat in the convention might be accomplished by political nominee would meet the same fate that overlook Parker. Mrs Bryan standing upon his past record and up- on 8 platform of his own making would certainly undergo his woful ex- periences of 1896 and 1900. The dem oeratic party is hopelessly divided as to MT. Bryan as he now stands. In the hope that the two clements may be brought together a meeting of Jeffer- Sonian leaders is to be held in New York shortly for the purpose of bring ing the fragments of the party togeth- CT. It is proposed to appease the pop uliStic element by conceding it Bryan and to attract the old line element by placing Bryan on a safe and sane" platform. It is also hoped to enlist the support of the business interests of the country regardless of party.
 The scheme does not appear to be feasible one but it is undoubtedly the best plan available to ,the divided democrats. Nr. Bryan's personality on any platform would retain the follow ing which he has long enjoyed The worshippers of an idol are not partic- ular as to its surroundings. But it is doubtful if the business interests would flock to a candidate who is safe and sane under duress. At any rate such course would not be charac- teristic of business men.
 Though the project, if carried out, holds out little promise of success, it holds out trifle more promise than no plan at all for the unification of the party.

RUFF AND THE PROSECUTION

While Abe Ruef has no especial claim on anybody for fairer treatment than 10 be sent 10 the penitentiary, the bribery graft prosecution in San Franciseo's dealings with him do not reflect credit upon the district attor- neys office. From the moment of Ruefs confession there was an under standing that he was to be granted immunity from prosecution under any of the other I14 indictments against him ir consideration of his testimony against Schmitz and other alleged of- lenders. He supplied the evidence on which Schmitz was convicted. and so earned at least a part of the immunity which had been promised him.
 When his testimony became neces- ssry in the Ford case he withheld it, intending to hold the prosecution up for complete immunity.
 The prosecution was finally reduced 10 such straits that it consented to grant it, The negotiations had pro- ceeeded so far without taking Judge Dunne into account, and he, by the way. appears to have not been a party to the first agreemnt, which, however. could have been carried out without his assent
 The judge very properly baked at letting q confessed scoundrel. the worst of them all, go scot-free with the prospect of securing the convic- tion of less guilty men. if guilty at all Thus Ruef and the prosecution, how ever willing on both sides to consum- mate their disgracefuI deal. found themselves against stone wall
 Now the prosecution renounces the original contract. which it has the power to carry out, and proposes to prosecute Ruef on all the charges. The public is, perhaps. not concerned in this show of bad faith, but it may be- gin to wonder whether it is always. true that there is honor among thieves

HOUSEHOLD LEHFR
 JEANETTE VAN REYPEN
Easy Entertaining For Young House keepers Where Art Comes in in Making Dishes.

Nothing is more trying to a young housekeeper than 10 fall short when unexpected demands are made upon her hospitality It is easy to entertain one or more casual guests where the establishment is a large one and cat ering is necessarily upon generous scale, but Mrs. Newlywed whose table is provided with only a sufficient quantity for her husband and herself. and perhaps one maid. finds the prob- lem of offering easy hospitality a much more difficult matter.
 "A Hospitality Shelf"
 The best and easiest solution for her is to set up a hospitality shelf' stocked with the best grade of pre- pared foods. and to make point of never allowing herself to run out of any of the articles that she finds are satisfactory for her needs as a host ess. She should have a few cans of high grade soups that need only to be heated to be ready 10 serve. one or two ready-to-heat plum buildings. a few jars of fine preserves. a fruit cake that will keep perfectly for months. high grade chocolate and good sauces to use with meats and for flavOrings also a supply of materials that will enable the young hostess to quickly concoct homemade breads and other deIectabIe deHcacies that appeal ire sistably 10 the palate, and go a long way toward the requirement of that reputation as an accomplished hostess and skilled housekeeper that most women glory in attaining. A store of this sore is particularly useful where chafing dish cookery is a fad, and by the way this is fad worth cultivating not only by married women but all the hosts of bachelor girls and men that live in places where home cook cry is not easily obtainable, but that is another story.
 Sauces.
 The sauce goes a long way toward making success or a failure of the dish with which it is served, so it pays to make a study of sauces and to have number at ones finger tips, that will turn a plain dlsi Into one that is fit 10 grace the most pretentious table. Whipped cream is one of the simplest relishes in this class and is useful in so many ways that every cook recog- nizes its importance while the merest tyro at the art can prepare il since it needs only good cream. thoroughly chilled, especially in summer. and
