Watching the Corners
A Story of the Moment
BY WALT MASON

66T WAS reading in the magazine
last evening that the best way
TO save money is by watching
the corners taking advantage Of every
opportunity to buy things cheap" ex-
planned Mrs. JameSWOrthy, and the
article impressed me as having good
sense. So when Mr.. Sardine, the gro
Ger, told me this morning that I could
get potatoes five cents a bushel cheaper
by ordering them in ten bushel lots, I
bought ten bushels.
You are simply a miracle when It
comes to cutting down expenses" re-
piled JameSWOrthy. BY this. trans
action you have saved the princely sum
of 80 cents, and 1 suppose you are
prepared to tell me that if I'll add 50
to It you'll be able to buy the Queen
Anne coal Scuttle you've been wanting
ever since you were married. How
ever, Mrs. JamesWOrthy, the next time
you contemplate any economical ex-
perimentS 1 want you to consult me.

Mrs. Jamesworthy, and you know very

pretty and shallow girl that for some
reason she had pictured, she had found

proud, high spirited girl-What would

Wilson to Demand
Huerta s Resignation

WASHINGTON; Oct. 30.-Tha,
President Wilson is preparing a de-
nia1d upon General Huerta calling
upon the Provisional President Of
Mexico to resign his office imme-
diately is a report that is current in
official circles to-day. It is circu-
lated even at the white House with
out denial.
President Wilson is expected to
place before Huerta the alternative
OF putting the interests of Mexico be-
fore his organization, or OF willfuiiy
continuing himself in power notwith-
standing that he is now considered a
detriment to Mexico's interest.
President Wilson now Is believed
to be Withholding the issuance of his
note until he Is certain of the support
OF the chief European powers in the
stand he has taken. Even if this sup
port can not be obtained, however, il
is expected that he will issue his
statement, and trust to the moral in
fuence of the United States to effect
the elimination of Huerta.

There is no doubt, however that, IL

General Wood said:
"orders already have been given for

Cavalry now is at Fort Ethan Allen

sued by General Huerta. Many have
been seized in the federal district and
At Vera Cruz. Among the prisoners
are wealthy men who furnished the
funds for the Diaz presidential cam

1t became known to-day for the first
time that the conspiracy aimed to put
Diaz in power in Huerta's stead was
widespread. The plot was 30 care
fully worked out that 1t was neces-
sary only to get Diaz's consent to lead
his supporters to make a formidable
revolt. Diaz weakened, however.
Some OF his supporters rashly criti-

the cle~ that resulted in the COM
