NOT A GUTTER
ESTIMATE OF HUERTA BY A
MITCHELL CITIZEN RETURN
ED FROM MEXICO.

Mitchell, May 19.-Gen. Victoriano
Huerta is a capable leader, a heavy
drinker, but not a drunkard, and last
of all, is not a gutter. This charac-
terization was given by Raymond A.
Carhart, who arrived yesterday from
the center of the storm in the Mex
lean republic and is staying at the
home of his father, Rev. A. e. Car
hart.
THE general impression in this
country" said Mr.. Carhart, lis that
General Huerta is under the influence
of liquor most of the time and in this
condition is debating the policy of
the Mexican federal government.
This is hardly true. Although Huerta
pronounced by Mr.. Carhart where
tai is a very heavy drinker. he does
not imbibe to the extent of being in
capable.
Had Huerta been given proper
support from the time he went into
office, conditions down there would
have been much different. He could
have kept on his feet and eventually
restored order. Huerta is not a
gutter and he will keep on fighting
until he is forced to succumb."
Mr.. Carhart left Mexico City three
weeks and m day before he landed
in Mitchell, on April %. He reached
Vera Cruz two days after the Amer
lean marines had taken over the city
and found conditions very quiet. He
was detained in quarantine for four
days at New Orleans and spent one
day in Chicago on his way to Mitchell
| where he found his wife and little
son, who left Mexico two months ago,
at the home of his father.
The train which carried Mr.. Car
hart from the Mexican capital was
filled with American refugees, al
though it was n of the first to be
run. Before his departure he had
seen none of the anti-American DEM
onstrations, although he had heard
the shouts of the crowds several
blocks away. Mr.. Carhart declared
he was not apprehensive owe the fate
of his household and other effects, as
they were left in the home. which
was a fiat building belonging to a
Mexican who would protect the prop
erty.

to attend a conference of Masonic
grand masters.
Many of the Mexicans who are al
lied with Huerta for protection" he
said, ARE praying that the United
States take control of affairs in Mex
leo, so they will be sure their busi-
ness will be safe. The impression
that Americans are towards has be-
come so prevalent that Mexicans
don't hesitate openly to insult our
citizens. But they respect the flags
of Great Britain and of Germany.
The citizens of those nations wore
the flag of their country IN their coat
lapels during the recent crisis and
were free to go any place unmolested.
lit is a wonder that more of us
did not meet with bodily violence.
On several occasions during the most
exciting days large numbers of Amer
leans were lined up to be shot, but
were released when the ministers oil
Brazil and Great Britain interviewed.

A RARE animal
BIG LOTUS WITH GOLLMAR'S CIR,
Gus LARGEST HIPPOPOTA-
MUS IN CAPTIVITY.

One of the most annoying things
to the animal keeper with a MENACE
RE is the surprising ignorance and
indifference of many people toward
the rare and costly beasts and birds
OF the forest. There are not half a
dozen real geological gardens in this
entire country, and hence about the
only opportunity a majority of the
people of this country. have to study
natural history from real life is upon
the occasional visit of some of the
big circuses.
Although wild beasts are vanishing
before the advance of civilization,
and the increase of the earth's pop
ulation, and though it is certain that
all wild beasts will become extinct in
time, yet a large portion of the pub
lie fails to inspect the menageries
that are brought to their doors.
The Gollmar Brothers paid $4,000
for a giant hippopotamus. 1t is a
magnificent specimen of the river
horse of the River Nile, and a most
interesting source of study for the
student of nature. Very few people
a tell whether a hippopotamus is
web footed or whether it has teeth.
The average person does not know
that it is an animal allied to the ele-
plant; that it has a thick and heavy
body, short legs, terminated by four
toes; a short tail, skin without hair,

SUBMIT FOUR NEW MEASURES
AT FALL ELECTION.
Sixteen New Questions Now Filed, In
cluding Probation of Adults and
Extension of Referendum.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Four petitions for pro
posed constitutional amendments and
laws, among them one affecting juries.
whereby women will be allowed to
serve, have been filed with the secre-
tary of state by the Colorado Social
Service League.
The four measures will be submitted
to the people at the fall election. This
makes total Of sixteen questions on
file for determination by the electo-
rate at the fall election.
The jury petition is known as the
jury reform bill and provides that
three-fourths of the jurors in a civil
case may find a verdict. 1t is intend
ed to abolish the expense of two
trials. 1t permits women to serve on
iuries only in case they wish to serve.
1t gives women the right to refuse to
serve without assigning any cause.
The jury petition was circulated in
the form of 1872 petitions and received
24.407 signatures. According to pro
vision of law, 10000 names were nee
esssary to bring the petition to the le-
gal form before it could be considered
Other petitions of the Special Ser
vice League provide for: an amend
ment to the state statutes to allow
probation of adult prisoners; for the
appointment of a women's and child
ren's welfare commission to codify the
laws of the state concerning women
and children, and another petition for
a constitutional amendment to extend
the power of the people under the
initiative and referendum to permit
the people to vote on initiative and
referendum questions at special as
well as at general elections.
Petitions for a law making the
terms of office of county juSges dis
trict attorneys, judges of the Juvenile
Courts and county officers of equal
length as those of the district judges
have been put in circulation.
Those behind the petitions hope to
obtain a sufficient number of sigma
lures in time to enable them to put
the proposed change upon the ballot
at the November election.

FOR BUSY HOUSEWIVES

Knives which have been used for
onions and smell of them can be
cleaned by drawing them through a
piece of carrot two or three times.
To remove hot-water marks from
Japanned trays use sweet oil. Rub 1t
in well till all marks disappear, then
polish the tray with dry -four and a
soft cloth.
When gilt frames or molding of
rooms have specks of dirt from flies
and other causes upon them they may
be cleaned with white of egg applied
with camel-hair brush
Peel onions from the root upward
and they will not make your eyes

Save cold tea left from supper and
use in place of water ON your house

Starch should be mixed with soapy
water. for thus the linen will have a
more glossy appearance and be less

A Ballad of Vegetables.
lPhiladelphia Record.l


A potato went out on a mash,
And sought an onion bed
That's pit for me-" observed the
squash,
And all the beets turned red.
60 way" the onion weepingly cried;
Your love l cannot be-"
The pumpkin be your lawful bride
You cantaloupe with me-"
But onward still the tuber came,
And lay down at her feet;
You cauliflower flower by any name
And it would smell as wheat;
And l, too, am an early rose,
And you I've come to see;
So don't turnip your lovely nose,
But spinachat with me-"
II do not carrot ut all to wed;
So go, sir, If you please"
The modest onion meekly said.
And lettuce, pray, have peas!
Go, think that you have never seen
Myself or smelled my sigh;
Too long u maiden l have been
For favors in your rye"
"Ah, spare a cuss," the tuber prayed;
my cherryshed bride you'll be;
You are the only weeping maid
That currant now for me-"
And as the willy tuber spoke.
He caught her by surprise,
And giving her an artichoke.
Devoured her with his eyes.

It, If you have eaten such short
cake, made where the wild straw
berries grow" you know how supe-
rior it is to the ordinary kind. How
ever, we must content ourselves with
cultivated berries. Reserve enough
of the finest berries from two quarts
to cover the top of your cake Cut
the remaining berries in half, or

butter and one of lard. Mix it with
a pint of milk with a teaspoonful OF
soda dissolved in it, Three teaspoon

the cream of tartar and soda. Roll
or pat out half an inch thick, and
bake in either one or two cakes in
quick oven for fifteen or twenty
minutes. Split the cake open-do not
cut 1t-as soon as baked, as cutting

SEASONING FOR oTTAG c E
CHEESE, SOUPS AND SALADS.

The savories of the diet, the highly
favored substances, like herbs and
spices, which we use in small! amounts
only, seldom have much food value,
but they are often the means of MAX
ing the lowerpriced food materials
attractive and thus they may serve to
keep down the cost of living. Ameri-
cans are not much given to the use
of these substances and might well
take a lesson from some of the Eu-
ropean nations. There is a vegetable
of European origin, belonging, like the
onion, to the lily family and known
aB the chive which has so good
flavor and is so easy to raise and to
use, and is besides SO ornamental as
it grows, that it seems strange that
American housekeepers do not make
more use of it. The chive is a per.
ennial which puts forth long, slender,
hollow leaves and has small delicate
purplish flowers. 1t can not easily
be grown from the seed, but bunch
of chives can be separated and the
parts replanted. They make an orna.
mental border for flower or vege-
or window box in the house. Some
people put them into their fern dishes
and consider them very decorative.
The advantage of using the chive,
which resembles but is not exactly
like the onion in taste and odor, be-
sides the fact that 1t gives variety to
the diet, is that it can be obtained in
suitable form for use in cooking with.
out the danger of getting any of II
on the hands. The leaves can be cut
off and shipped into small pieces by
means of a pair of scissors, and, un-
less the hands touch the cut surfaces
(and this is avoidable), no trace OF
the odor remains upon them. II one
is sure the leaves OF the plant are
clean a paper or dish can be held
under them and the leaves shipped
directly on to it in pieces small enough
for use The cutting of the leaves
does not inJure the plant in any way;
it seems rather to stimulate its
growth and to make 1t more vigor.
Gus and thrifty.
The uses of the chive as a flavoring
material are as numerous as those OF
the more familiar member of the same
family-the onion; wherever chopped
onion is used chopped chives may be
substituted. A few special uses may
however, be mentioned. In very finely
chopped condition it is an attractive
addition to cottage cheese (see Farm.
ers Bulletin 3S7, Cheese and It's Eco.
nomical Use in the Diet, and Farm.
ers' Bulletin 413, The Care of Milk
and Its Use in the Home) or other
soft cream cheese and such mixtures
may be used as sandwich filings. II
can be added to omelets and to milk
sauces and soups AS an addition to
plain lettuce salad it has almost NO
equal, the amount to be used depend.
ing, of course, upon the favor with
which onion-like seasonings are held
in the family.
Still another advantage may be
mentioned. The chive is dark green in
color and offers a pleasing contrast
to the white of milk sauce or cottage
cheese or to the yellow of salad dress
ing, thus attracting the eye as well as
the palate.

Baked Sliced Ham.

Place in baking pan a slice of ham
cut one inch thick; If the ham is not
mild 1t should be soaked in cold water
an hour. Sprinkle on top little pow
dered mustard two tablespoonfuls
brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls vine
gar, add little water and bake about
forty minutes, basting often. Add a
little boiling water to the gravy, but
do not thicken.

Denyer-Signboard advertising is to
