They had entrenched themselves on a mountain aide in the eastern side of the Conchas Riv.er. About 8.0f»0 strong under General Victoriana Huerta, now provisional President of Mexico, and General Trucy Albeit. They had good artillery, but we had I but one cannon and a few old ma chine guns.

Evelyn Thaw, wife of Harry K. Thaw, who is going hack to the stage here, is going to begin life all over again. In a most remarkable interview published in The Sketch, she declares she has been making a study of the lives of women who had figured in such tragedies as the Thaw trial and she became convinced she wh*uld have to be born again to escape utter ruin and degredation. According to The Sketch. Mrs. Thaw says: "I found that of all those women who had gone out some sank from sheer humiliation and some found snatches /*f happiness in some excess some drank, some took drugs, but they all went down, down. down. That was the lesson I learned from reading about these trials, and after learning I said: No Bad Habits. I “ ‘Evelyn Thaw, there must he an other way,’ and what all these w r nm- en did I determined not to do. I have no bad habits. I have no habits which have a weakening tendency on my will. I warned to know all that was worst. And the woman who can say ‘I know the worst' has her feet on the first rung of the ladder which leads upward and to happiness. 1 am going to begin a new career—a n( life. I begin fair to this extent, that I am fort ! fied with the knowledge that a pretty woman who wants work is offered love and a plain woman wh( wants love gets the darning." Mrs. Thaw says the lurid stories circulated about her conduct were untrue. One young woman, she de clared. lived for two weeks in Salt Lake City, Utah, painting the town red with the most scandalizing be havior and posing meanw'hile as Eve lyn Thaw. Stories Are Untrue. Upon another occasion, she said, a friend of hers heard of a story about her which was so bad she could find no words to describe it. This story also was untrue.* said Mrs. Thaw, al though the person who told it de clared he had witnessed the incident. "Some well-meaning persons have described me as a victim of passion, but victim is a word I loathe," said Mrs. Thaw. Singing for Help Is the Very Latest.

Mrs. Newlywed is dreadfully afraid of thunder and lightning—principally the former.

It was sung to the tune of "On the Tiail of the Lone some Pine,” and went something like this: . "I’m so scaled of the thunder and I I’m all alone in this back room. Wijc I somebody would come back here anil keep me company.” Mr. Newlywed went right on read ing. He didn't hear the song; he didn't even hear the storm His wife | 9ang louder. No result. Then she got angry. She, too. forgot to be frightened. "Bert,” she yelled, "can’t you see I’m scared to death? Why don’t you come back here when I call you?” Mr. Newlywed leaped about two feet in the air. It was the first time in an hour that he realized there was anybody else on earth but himself. He rushed hack to the nursery ex pecting to discover a tragedy. Mrs. Newlywed's anger and fright had dis solved into tears. There was a re conciliation and Mr. Newlywed prom ised never, no never, to be absent when it thundered.
