COMPARATIVELY FEW
KILLED AT TORREON

MEXICO CITY, Oct. IL The num-
Der of Spaniards who lost their lives
when Torreon was taken from the fed
eral troops by the rebels has dwindled
to nine instead of the sixty or seventy
at first reported. A Mexican who as
serts that he was present in TorTcon
when the rebels entered arrived here
today and says that all together only
thirteen persons were killed when the
city was taken, nine Spaniards and
four Me1icans. They were shot for
failing to deliver money and goods de-
manded by the rebels as 'loans.' The
same messenger declares that the reb-
els entered Torreon in good order and
at the outset Of the occupation there
was no looting. They were commanded
by Generals Villa, Pereyra, Tomas Ur-
bina and Panfilo Natera. General Ma.
terra, who appeared to be in chief
erty, but demanded certain funds and
provisions from the residents.
Provisional President Huerta appears
| to regard the loss of Torreon as of nc
particular moment from a military
point Of view. He declared today that
| it was the fortune of war and that the
place would be quickly recovered by
the federal troops. He admitted that
the moral influence Of the fall of Tor
IeOn was Dau, BluC6 III HnlRnC give inc
people of Mexico an unwarranted idea
Of the strength Of the rebel forces
| With the resources at the command OF
! the government, General Huerta as
! serted his confidence that it was only 6
matter of days for Torreon to be re
taken and all the prestige of the fed
eral troops regained, The president
said he was able to send 10000 mer
at once to combat the rebels.
The federal generals, Bravo, Nun
guia and Escudero, who were at Tor
reon, arrived here today by a specia
train under arrest. They are to bt
brought before military court to an
swer for the evacuation Of Torreon
| General Bravo Is one Of the oldest Of
ficers in the army. While he was nom
inally in command at Torreon, tho &C
tive direction Of the defense of thai
place was conducted by General Nun
guia, as Bravo was i'll.
A persistent rumor was current in ths
federal capital today that the town Of

ing Secretary John Bassett Moore brief"
ly talked over the dispatches with Pres
ident Wilson today.
There is possibility that develop
ments in Mexico may bring about some
change in the detail Of American bat
tleships in Mexican waters. Senor
Huerta IS pointed declaration recently,
in his message to congress, that the six
months period allowed American war
vessels In Mexican waters would expire
on October 26, and would not be re-
newed, caused the navy department at
that time to order the Rhode Island,
Nebraska, New Jersey and Virginia to
go to Vera Cruz to relieve the Louis
lana, South Carolina, New Hampshire
and Michigan. 1t was in accordance
with the right under ordinary conditions
of the Mexican authorities, to limit the
time that foreign vessels might remain
in their ports. Today it was stated at
the navy department that the four ships
would sail from Hampton roads On Oc'
tober 81 for Vera Cruz.
The American government probably
will follow the letter Of Huerta's dec
laration, however, changing the vessels
everv thirty days, as provided by inter
national law. Should unexpected de.
velopments occur and American lives
be endangered, all vessels may be re-
tanned by the United States.

Claim VindicatiOn.

The establishment of virtual dictn-
torship by Huerta through the use Of
military force is interpreted as likely
to have the most far.reaching conse-
quences to the Huerta regime. It also
was held as vindication of the attitude
Of the Washington administration. that
military assumption Of power should
not be recognized, and there is hope
now among high officials that foreign
governments which hitherto had recog-
nized the Huerta regime would with.
draw their support.
There was no official announcement
of policy today, but the American gov,
ernment is quietly preparing for any
emergencies that may arise. Its ad,
vices show the improbnbility Of an elec,
tiou on October &c, not only because of
the successes Of the constitutionalist
arms, but numerous illegalities in con
nection with the preliminary arrange
ments for an election. The dissolution
of congress by force is plainly looked
upon here as an unconstitutional act.

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM
 FAY VERNA.

Social Corner Editor. Sisters and Friends The midwinter holidays have once more passed into history and I hope the rest of you, like myself. are and good will that was dispersed so generously at Christmas time.
 I agree with Sister Frank that our Editor deserves praise because of the thoughtfulness he manifested in pre- pairing such a nice Christmas box for Diana, also the business manager of The Bulletin for his generous contribu- ton. Surely 1t Is good to belong to a club or Corner that is so deeply interested in each others welfare.
 Aunty. we enjoyed the Social Cor ner Christmas tree greatly. Sister Ready Is most hospitable. Under thee Mons was there and busy in each case. You must know that I am one of these, busy little bodies who Is hap ptest when the busiest.

SOCIAL CORNER POEM.
One by One.

One by one the sands are flowing, One by one the moments fall; S0me are coming, some are going; Do not strive to grasp them all One by one thy duties wait thee. Let thy whole strength go to each; Let no future dreams elate thee; Learn thou first what these can
 teach.
 One by one-bright gifts from heaven Joys are sent thee here below: Take them readily when given.
 Ready, too, to let them go. One by one thy griefs shall meet thee; Do not fear an armed band. One will fade as others greet thee Shadows passing through the land. Do not look at lffe's long sorrow, Sec how small each moments pain; God win help thee for tomorrow; Every day begins again. Every hour that fits so slowly Has its task to do or bear; Luminous the crown and holy
 If thou set each gem with care. Do not finger with regretting.
 Or for passing hours despond; Nor the daily toll forgetting,
 Look too eagerly beyond. Hours are golden links, Gods token, Reaching heaven; but one by one Take them, lest the chain be broken Ere thy pilgrimage be done.

CITY FOLKS NEED COUNTRY
 TRAINING.

Editor Social Corner: Don't you | think it would be a good thing for 1 living just to make 'em know more? I l tell you, the man who doesn't have a neighbor, minister, grocer or doctor handy. has to be more self-reliant than the man who always has assistance of every kind right at hand. l suppose we country folks would spend more money with the grocer and rely more on the doctor and holler for handy. They are hard to get. so we have to do the best we can right by ourselves.
 We have to know that burdock seed is one of the best things for the relief of sciatica rheumatism there is, and that keeping still and keeping the parts warm with cotton battin' is the quickest way to get over it. We are obliged to know that eczema and itchy eruptions of the skin are cooled and held in check by cornstarch or crude petroleum or any pure oil, or by rub ping over the inflammation soapsuds from castillo soap or carbolic acid soap or tar soap. and letting 1t dry on shuts out the air and stops the itching. And if we don't know that saleratus moistened with water and put on cot ton battin' and inserted in the hollow of the tooth that aches will stop it, we have to stand 1t, and the women folks have to know all about the herb teas and the root decoctions, and the vege- CGDl0 COuCOCIlOuS, lIh0 minced OnlOn poultices and carrot salve, or we shouldn't get on in af1iction as well as we do.
 It is real convenient, If 1t is costly, to have someone to come to your as sistance when you want them. but 1t takes more of a man to be able to take care of himself and those depend ent upon him.
 I have never noticed that the doc tors write to tell Social Corner folks how to take care of themselves, but the Doctors Daughter writes and passes good things around just as though it was Christmas all the year round. That's what makes me say to myself when I am all by myself pretty often: God bless the girlsi''
 The conditions which compel men to take care of themselves are not so much to be deplored as most people think they be.
 read the Social Corner myself but find it hard to get the paper when it is fresh, for the women folks are all watching out for 1t.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS FROM
 AUNTY.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: How can one keep from writing when they read-such letters and real ize the spirit of them? The letters all have such a Christmas spirit, 1t appears to me that we all realize that "it is more blessed to give than to receive and more so when we know the spirit it is received in. Diana's letter is one long to be re- membered and to show us that the real Christmas is not altogether in giving but the true spirit of Christ master sits at the table, the ruler of the feast is present. What is Christi mas without Christ?'' Ready: Thank you very much for finishing my story from real life. It happen right there. Etta Barber: I want, to thank you for inviting me to the watch meeting. Blanche: I am glad to know how many there were at the Christmas tree gathering as was so busy with other things I didn't take time to count them. I considered calling tho roll enough.
 We are glad to see another flower among our list, Double Fuchsia.
 Here are a few hints to begin the new year with:
 One ounce of coarse salt dropped in the trap of the kitchen sink win pre- vent the drain pipe from freezing over night.
 A tablespoon of washing soda and & cup of vinegar poured down the sink will clean out the most stubborn of clogged pipes.
 If you want to keep lettuce try this way: First wrap head in newspaper thoroughly wet with cold water; cover this with dry newspapers; wrap up and leave on ice or in 8 cool place until wanted. This will keep 1t fresh some time.
 The easiest way to clean willow chairs or picture frames is with a small paint brush.
 An old stocking leg drawn over 8 broom will save it and prevent the spiinters breaking off.

BILLIE DiscouRsEs ON NAMES.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Have you ever noticed what curious names some people give their children Then. again, some names-surnames- are thrust upon them which are equal ly as quaint. l have often heard said any name will do for a child when 1t is small, but not when that child comes to years of understanding.
 There are many good old fashioned names that many young people of to- mind one Eliza Jane. That is the name her sponsors gave in baptism Now after some years it is Lyda, and the Jane I suppose has gone to the four winds.
 Not near so many Bridgets are com ing to this country now. They are either Delias or Bessies or some other high flying name.
 remember some years ago visiting in Indiana and near my relative lived a farmer with wife and child. hadn't been there long until the little girl and I became. quite friendly; but. some name. They called her "Maydonie." Over and over said 1t, wondering and wondering for whom could that child have been called.
 Some time after in conversation with a lady who had travelled this country over, and a great part of Europe, and who knew the parents, I asked if she could tell me where they got the name She said the father was somewhere and somehow saw a picture of the Madonna and concluded that would be a nice name for his little girl. Not knowing how to pronounce 1t, and hav- ing eyes and no eyes. just called the child "Maydonie."
 In another case heard of a family having new baby. could not decide on a name, and the baby was growing like a weed, but no name. One day the minister called, admired the baby and asked its name. He was told 1t had none, that they could net decide. He told them to read their Bible and when they came across a name they liked give # to ths child, bring him te- church and have him baptized.
 Some weeks after. ths bafsnts put ih appsarance snd pressatsd fhs child for hapttsna. On taking the child fem the
