out the possum, but instead he tun-
bled to the ground with howl and
declared the supposed possum to be :
real live bear.

come up from Muckalee creek swamp,
where bears are very numerous. Mr..
Carter had small calibre revolver
and fired upon the bear, wounding Ii
slightly and causing it to leap to the
ground. scattering the valiant hunters
in all directions.
The dogs had never seen bear
and thinking this small one a new

hesitatingly. The bear rose on It's
hind feet and siapping one of th.
hounds. knocked the affrighted dog
twenty feet into the stream The bear
then took to the swamp and escaped.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 10.-Rec-
ognition of the Mexican constitution
alists and the removal of the EN-
barge on arms to the revolutionists IS
not contemplated by President VIII
son at the present time. He mad
this clear today In talks with callers
Informal comment on Huerta
statement, however, emphasized that
while the elections of the presiden'
and vice president were to be d.
clared null and void, Huerta intende1
to consider the election of congress
valid. By the Washington govern
ment that is regarded as inconsis-
tency, of which foreign nations must
take cognizance, and the impression
prevailed that the reputation of all
acts of the new congress would be
Forthcoming by the United States.
The president made it plain thai
foreign governments had been fully
advised within the last week of thl
steps taken by the United States tc
bring about peace In Mexico, but that
the future policy of this government
was dependent on further develop
ments.
In discussing the Mexican situation
with newspaper men, the president
spoke especially against reports rep
resenting the situation as more seri-
Gus than it really was. Sensational
reports, the president pointed out
had embarrassed the task of the ad-
ministration, especially when the re
ports predicted moves In advance ot
action by the administration.
A copy of Huertas note to the di
plomats was received at the state de-
partment from Mr.. O'Shaugnessy

upon 1t, further than to say las

a more definite pronouncement from
President Wilson setting forth pre-
cisely the steps he purposes to take

formal reply.
British officials are inclined to re
sent what they term the persistent
misrepresentation of Great Britain
attitude current in the United States
They deny that any British money has
been advanced to support Provisional
President Huerta.
Late this afternoon telegram was
received at the British foreign office
from Washington, giving an outline

and win no doubt be as popular and
as well attended as these baby shows
have been In former years.
The feature of the opening day last
year was the baby show, which was
held at $3.50 in the afternoon on the
grand stand at the race track the
judges being ex-Governor Albert w.
Gilchrist. then governor OF Florida,
Prof. C. K. Moouarrie. then of thu
University of Florida, but now max
Ing his home In Pensacola, and Mr..
Charles Fl. Simpson, manager OF the
Arcadia Farms, near Milton.
The baby show will probably be
conducted much along the lines Of last
year, when the classes and entries
were as follows:
First Class-Prettiest baby up to 6
months old; finest baby up to s
months old.
Second CIass-Prett1est baby UP TO
1 year old; finest baby up to 1 year
old
Third C1ass-Prettiest baby up to 2
years; finest baby up to years
Fourth Class-Prettiest baby up to
years: finest baby up to years.
Special prize for prettiest and finest
pair OF twins.
There were nearly 100 babies entered
last year, and there will probably be
quite as many this year.
The baby shows held by the Daugh-
tiers OF Isabella have always been an
unqualified success, and the ladies ara
planning to make this the biggest and
best ever held at the fair.

MAKE YOUF
FAIR ENTRIES EARLY.

The Pensacola Interstate fair is not
far distant From all the evidence
available, it would seem that the wom-
ans department fair of 1913 Is to be
the biggest and the best ever held IN
West Florida. This claim has been
made steadily every year, since the
old tri-oounty fair. and each year the
claim has been substantiated
It is no idle boast when Pensacola
claims to have had since the initial
fair. each year q better showing and
q greater interest In the woman's de-
partment. Pensacola does not want 10
have to state this year that the fair
of 1913 was not equal tn it's predeces-
sors. Tt is the ambition OF the fair
management to make each succeeding
year better than the preceding one.
This has been done heretofore, and it
has been greatly through the interest
or the women In the fair section that
this is So Each woman should 10
her best to see that her exhibits are
brought to the fair IN the pink Of con-
dition. And In order to do this, she
must plan ahead-not wait until the
last moment.
The entries should be made at once,
not only that the fair management
may be able to decide definitely on
the amount Of space to be given over
to exhibits by women, but In order
that the women themselves, having
come to this decision, may be better
prepared to carry their work to a sue
cessful condition.
