Huerta had relied to kc
out of the hands of ti
are deserting daily and
rebels It became know:
some of the most trusted men of the
Mexico City and Cuernavaca garri
sons had decamped with large quan
tities of ammunition. This was a
severe blow to the Government, whose
resources nre steadily dwindling.
Desperate fighting is still going on
south of Cuernavaca. This is the
fourth day of the battle there The
Federals under General Castro have
thus iar held their own, but have
been unable to gain any decided ad
vantage. A large rebel force led by
the bandit Nori is marching from
Puebla to aid Zapata, and if he ar
rives in time the Government army
will undoubtedly have to retire.
The action of »’o/igresa In declaring
the election of Huerta Illegal Is ex
pected to make no change in the sit

hold office until after next year’s
election in July but intense interest
was displayed to-day by foreigners,
who anxiously inquired what action
the United States would take in view
of the latest developments.

Well, sou)*- of the letters which I
am printing to-day should contain, a
few suggestions to the husbands ami
wives who me still baffled by the
question: What Is the best Christ
mas present*.’
Not a few of them proved an in-
spiration to m>* when I read them. Dut
maybe I’m a tilth sentimental. At
anv rate, I like, to read that wives
really wish to give their husbands
presents which they have made them-
something that will bear th
mark of personality.
And i also like to know that hus
bands snatch enough time from their
business cares to think up some ap
propriate gift for their wives. It’s a
good sign when we ran get both
sides of the family thinking and
planning. It means the quick solution
of tin whole problem of Christinas
present giving.
In case you haven’t written a letter,
please glance over this offer and
make a suggestion
Gen. Villa Wires
Loyalty to Carranza.
Z
HERMOSILLO, MEXICO, Dec. 10.
General Carranza to-day received
a dispatch from General Benevides,
the rebel commander at Juarez, de
claring that General Villa recognized
the Provisional President of the
Constitutionalists as supreme In all
matters relating to the revolution.
This message, coming after Carranza
had refused to send reinforcements
to Villa, was received with reserva
tions by the Constitutionalist leader.
It was marked that Villa himself
sent no message pledging his loyalty
although Bem vides declared he had
been delegated by his superior to send
the dispatch.
This is the first lime that either
Villa or any of his agents have rec
ognized Carranza’s claims to be M <>
actual leader of the northern revolt
since the capture of Juarez.

other titles. For instance, grand

happy old age. MRS. J. H.

FOR A FARMER’S WIFE.

The most useful present for a
wife would be a nice range stove
and a year’s supply of good dry
stove wood stored away, for tins
1h something the average farm
er’s wife has to use 1565 days in a
year, and three times 366 at that.
(if course, people in different
walks of life require different
gifta If I win the $ln gold piece
I’m going to give this to my
wife, for she has the range and
wood already. \V. A. B.

CHRISTMAS DINNER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the best present a wife
can give her husband for f’hrist-
mas is a nice dinner, prepared by
her own hands; following that
be a true, devoted wife—always
ready to share his burdens. We
can all do this, and not cost one
extra cent, and I am sure it would
be far more appreciated than
anything elaborate.

Mexican Gunboat Holds Up
Mobile Fishing Boat.
MOBILE, ALA., l>ic. 10.—That tile
Mexican Government is on the look
out for a filibustering expedition out
of Mobile and is keeping a sharp
watch on every vessel leaving any
point on the Mississippi coast Is the
belief strengthened by a report from
Pensacola of a Mexican gunboat stop
ping a fishing vessel off the Mobile
Har near ('at Island and searching
her. Cat Island is an ideal place for
n gunboat to remain concealed and at
the same time keep a close look-out
on all vessels leaving.
The revenue cutter Winona left
here hurriedly last night. Mexican
secret service men here are watching
all suspicious Mexicans.
Federals Fortify For
Battle on Border.
PRESIDIO, TEXAS (By U. S. Army
telephone to Marfa), Dec. 10. -General
Sal v ad ore Mercado’s exhausted Fed
eral soldiers who fled northward when
the Constitutionalist army under Gen
eral Villa, moved on Chihuahua City,
were to-day set to work constructing
fortifications south of Ojlnaga.
These preparations for defense were
dispatched from Chihuahua City with
1.600 Constitutionalists to give battle
to the Federals at Ojlnaga.
General Villa fears a surprise at
tack on Juarez unless the Federal
army at Ojlnaga is either captured or
annihilated.
A HOME, FURNISHED.
Miss Mary Eea Davis;
r think one of the most appro
priate gifts for a wife is the
presentation of a clear title, deed
to a nice home, well furnished,
given in cheerfulness and love.

SIMPLE REMBRANCE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Don’t buy hubby an expensive
present and turn around and have
it charged to him. If you can’t
save enough out of your allow
ance to pay for a nice present
just make something that he real
ly needs and I am sure he will
enjoy the simple remembrance
more than he would a costly one
with the bill staring him in the
face. MRS. J. W. N.
Newnan, Ga.
FOUNTAIN PEN.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The gift I find the most appre
ciated is a fountain pen. It is one
suitable for purses of any size.
There are good ones cheap and
also the silver and gold ones for
the more expensive gifts.
