HUBBY GETS IN BAD.

For obvious reasons the name of
the hero" of this story cannot be
mentioned, which robs it of much of
its value. But it is too good to keep,
even if but halt of it can be told.
A certain prominent Yuma man
who is always in his place at Sunday
school, and whose wife would prob
ably drop dead with nervous pros
tratlon if she even dreamed that he
would take into his stomach a drop
OF red hkker,' took advantage of
the absence Of his wife ON the coast
for the summer tohave a little di-
version. He wrote an order for one
barrel of beer and a letter to his
wife, making out two checks, one
for $1O.8O to a Los Angeles saloon,
and another for fifty dollars for his
wife. pinning the checks to the mis-
slves. He then directed two en-
Yelopes, one to his wife and one to
the beer house. By mistake he placed
the beer order in the envelope di-
rected to his dear wife and the let.
ter to his wife in the beer envelop
In letter to his wife he told her of
how sorry he was that the bootleg
gems were ON top in Arizona and how
he detested the very smell of booze,
winding up with the statement that
dozens of people were now ordering
beer shipped in to Yuma from ''the
he'll holes of Los Angeles The sa-
loon mailed the letter to the wife and
check back to the man and wrote ON
the bottom of the letter, "The hell
holes of Los Angeles are refrigera-
tors compared to the hell OF a hole
you have gotten yourself into" It is
not stated what the wife did, but it's
two to one she will make hubby
think "his sun of life has Set -
Yuma Sun.

Los Angeles, is preparing to start a
Diamond drill on the manganese prop
