An amendment to the above act will
be proposed when introduced in the
house, the object being to make the
act retroactive and date back to 1907.
The amended act will apply to the
two counties of Yuma and Graham,
but the retroactive provision would
only affect J. H. Godfrey, late incum-
bent OF the Office of probate Judge in
Yuma county. In Graham county the
fees of the office were allowed the pro-
bate Judge by the board of supervisors:
in Yuma county the fees were withheld
in accordance with the provisions of
the re-classifying act.

Every now and then public attention

Huntley Walker, wealthy EnglishmaR,
well known as a racing motorst.
The night before last he won $4,000
and last night i'll a little over two hours

The table at which he was playing had
to suspend operations for Il few min

and thus Mr.. Walker, in the accepted
parlance of the rooms, broke the bank ;"
One of the Casinos officials, speaking
of the run, said there was nothing eX-

THINGS FOR CHRISTMAS.
Importers Now Ready with Samples for
the Holiday Trade

Of course in all sorts of businesses
preparations have to be made in add
vance. Clothing for winter wear is
made up in summer, summer clothing is
made in winter. In many lines the
planning is done a year ahead, as it is,
for example, in looking after the supply
of goods required for the Christmas
trade. No sooner are the holidays over
than buyers go abroad to hunt up novel
ties in Europe and to put into the way
of realization ideas that they take with
them, all designed for the trade of the
next Christmas holidays. 1t takes time
to make the goods, time to import them
and time to distribute them and get
them ready finally for sale. Jobbers
here begin to put in their orders for
Christmas goods six or eight months
ahead, in the spring.
Such has long been the custom in pre-
pairing for the holiday trade. a custom

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says:
MY mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for q
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago l was making an
official visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. | noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cot
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.

NOVELTY IN HOME AQUARIUMS.
Made with a Picture Frame Front and
Intended to Hang on the Wall

A novelty in balanced or self-sustain-
ing home aquariums is made to hang up
on the wall like picture. The tank is
oblong, narrow at the bottom but wider
at the top. The side to go against the
wall is vertical, while the front slopes
up outward, as picture hangs, and this
outer side is in fact surrounded with a
picture frame.
The back and ends of this aquarium
are enclosed in a metallic holder, with
hooks at the top by which it may be
hung, and at the back between this me-
talic holder and the back wall of the
glass tank is inserted picture, land
scape having at the bottom i'll the fore
ground a brook.
The bottom of the tank is covered with
gravel and set in the water is suitable
vegetation sufficient to please the eye
and to keep the water aerated, and then
of course there are the fishes, and when
you have it thus stocked you hang this
aquarium up on the wall to have the
effect of picture with fishes swimming
around in it-New York Sun.

SUPPLY OF ARMY HORSES.
Not Equal to Demand in England
French and German Stables.

The adequate supply of horses for the
army, it would scarcely be denied, is as
essential to its efficiency as men and
guns. Yet in this vital particular the
government, as in SO many other ques
tons relative to the defense Of the coun-
try, have utterly failed to realize their
responsibilities.
Sir Gilbert Parker is raising the point
in one of its important aspects next
week in the House of Commons. He has
given notice to call the attention of the
secretary of state for war to the fact
that German agents are extensively buy
ing 3-year-old horses suitable for army
Purposes in England, Ireland and
Wales.
There is no use Disgusting the fact"
said an expert on English horse breed
ing, that the country is rapidly being
denuded of its best horses, and the posi-
ton is becoming acute.
1T is a regulation of the war office
that horses shall not be bought under
4 years old. This is the foreigners
chance Not only the Germans, but
practically every continental country, has
agents bent on securing the very pick
of the available 3-yearolds. They pur-
chase especially young mares, which of
course do not return to this country.
They are, therefore, reducing both i'll
quality and number the supply of 4-year-
olds obtainable by the home authorities.
The German and French governments
realize the value of a plentiful supply.
They have their own government breed
ing establishments and encourage horse
breeding by subsidy. l believe France
pays something like 10000 francs a year
in this respect. Then they take care
that only good stations are employed
THE principal causes of the alarming
scarcity-for | am convinced if war
broke out tomorrow We have not a suf-
ficient supply for the army-are the I'M
precendented buying of young horses by
foreign agents, the fact that farmers are
more anG more giving up the breeding
of horses, the increase in mechanical
traction. and the heavy demand for
horses during the late South African
war"-Pal Mall Gazette.
