DAILY ROUTINE is
A ROUND OF SALOONS.
New York World.)

Those having other than secret
business with General Huerta in Mex
leo City have learned better than to
seek him in his Office in the Palace.
He has preferred the cafes for his
conferences and interviews. Several
OF these resorts have enjoyed his IA
yor, to each of which has been as
signed its special function as the daily
rounds proceed. The routine be-
came so regular that interruption
from any cause instantly started ru-
mors that Huerta had taken flight
His practice has been to start the
day with drink of cognac, his IA
vorite tipple, in the Laze Mercantile,
about $3.50 o'clock in the morning
That is too early an hour for any
thing except preparatory seasoning
for the days work, and no one VEN
tured to disturb Huerta there with
affairs of state. An hour or so later
he drives to the Chapultepec Cafe, to
give audience to diplomats who wish
to see him. That has been the only
place where the foreign representa-
tives were welcome. COgnac accom-
panies all the conferences there, and
Huerta has been accessible to diplO-
mats until about midday.
The Cafe Colon, in Avenue Reforma,
is his next stopping place. He drops
in there after luncheon and passes an
hour or so socially or in transacting
such business as government officials
bring to him, with cOgac accompani-
ment. That refreshments equips
Huerta for whatever tasks have been
reserved for transaction in private.
If business is done in the afternoon
hours it is so confidential that othing
concerning it ever gets outside.
By evening Huerta appears at the
GlObo, known otherwise as the Dull
ceria Parisienne, in San Francisco
avenue, looking habitually as if he
had enjoyed good rest. The attend
ants there serve cOgnac to him from
a teapot, and from $50 o'clock in the
evening until $50 he receives news
paper correspondents and other wri-
tiers, and affably answers their ques
tions. Following this visit, Huerta
usually makes second visit to the
Colon, where his Ministers, editors
and official and other persons have
easy access to him through the even
ing.
The Colon is his regular resort, and
often he may be found there until 2
o'clock in the morning, although he
now and then drops in at the Circulo
Asturlano, the exclusive Spanish club
in Tecuba street.
Huerta has kept up this round of
cafes ever since he came into power
in Mexico City. He is not at all re-
luctant to show himself in public and
mingle in mixed company, acting
sometimes as if he thought that
course his best protection. Probably
the most important affairs with which
he must deal are not settled in such
public places, but Huerta would be
quite willing to have the public sup
pose him ready to talk in the open
upon any subject, priding himself on
being lust plain old Indian and
model Democrat. He makes prac-
tice, in these places, Of delivering
himself of his purpose to stand firm
to the last.

MAN WHO PERSONALLY KNEW
VILLA WHEN HE WAS PEON.

A man who recently had occasion
to interview President Wilson says
that never in all his experience was
he so amazed as at the manner in
which President Wilson, eulOgized
Villa.
1.-The President seems to have the
utmost confidence in Villa and praises
him in the strongest terms" he stat
ed, land this is hard for anyone to
understand who has been in Mexico.

was nothing more than mule team
driver at one of the oil camps, and
have followed his actions closely
ever since He is typical Mexican
peon, and anyone who knows any
thing about Mexico knows what a

get into power in Mexico and it will

THE REASON A GEORGIA
TOWN VOTED FOR SALOONS

A Georgia town has voted in favor
of saloons and here is the reason
given by a citizen: ''If we are going
to stand for our women folks wearing
shadow skirts, and slit skirts, and
transparent skirts, and our younger
women learning to dance the boil
weevil, the Texas Tommy tango, the
bunny hug, the bear dance, the half
center, the buzzard flop, the puppy
huddle, and so on down the line, then
the men folk might just as well have
their saloons and the whole push go
to hell together"

Suzanne ON Scarlet Socks

Listen, then! Cock your eye back to
the time when we ladies began to howl
to be bosses and think clothes. Just
about then was when the gents began to
stop the long-eurl wig business and
chuck real clothes and take to body COW
ering for decency's sake, wasn't it? Mary
Walker came in with the black dress
suit for men. Every time man peeled
off a silk embroidered doo-jab from his
waistcoat some lady thought of new
right she hadn't known she had. The
classy dresser, bird or animal or human,
is, always the boss of the diggings, and
he Just went to work and voluntarily
chucked his signs of superiority and
when he did he made the high sign that
invited the only swell dressers the world
had left to step forward and tramp on
his neck
A red head is about the only thing any
male has left in the way of snowy orna-
mentation these days, and the red-hea6ed
gent generally bosses his own coop.
Listen! Men took to stump gray and
mud brown clothes because they wanted
to look like busy little workers, and the
minute they were less noisily dressed
than the ladies the DANES forgot that
the men were any better than the wom-
en-. Believe me, Horace! The men just
simply went to work and abdicated the
cock-of-the- walk job and cut off their
snowy tail feathers, and its nothing but
nature for the showicst-dressed sex to
think it is the boss. You didn't see the
danes chucking their fnery when the
men did, Nix for it! And they've
dressed themselves into thinking they
ought to rule the roost.
Aw. gee! Maybe you think I'm dippy.
but it takes some strength of mind to
wear glad rags, don't it? The gents may
have joked at NJ. Twain when he logged
up in his white dress suit, but he had
the nerve, anyway. and they didn't. Amt
it so that the DANES are more respectful
to the soldier bosses when they're logged
! in gold braid than when they're in store
clothes? A swell uniform is about the
only thing a dame respects nowadays.
Say, l do admire Algy's scarlet socks.
Maybe he has taste like Fiji islander,
but he's got nerve. Ju know what? Men
ought to get the sittine-on they are get
ting now. They're towards. Ju know
how scared a man feels when he puts
on new hat and new gray suit that
is about as lively as stump in swamp
and new pair of tan shoes, and goes
on to the street? Some scared, believe
me! And as for bravery and courage,
look at the danes! just cop what a
bunch of courage a dame must have to
rig up in a hat that may be swell or
may look like parboiled buzzard when
it gets alongside the hats of other DANES.

But it was so. I'm gone on Perky

tons from nice old dames), to see the

black string tie is about the right thing
for an Algy that's sort of advance agent
for the mission to snails, but Algy isn't
clothed that way When he heard the
text about how the lilies are arrayed he
had tiger lilies in mind, l guess. 1t was
rough stuff to have a nice old black-clad
dame come in to weep over snails and
have her meet Algy, looking like some
thing used to show off the styles that
were too loud for mere human beings.
Perky never said a word. You know
that thing about "Can leopard change
his spots?" and the answer was that if
the leopard's name was Algy he couldn't.
Perky stood for the lavender socks and
the green socks and the pale blue socks.
and the rest of Algy's glad rig, but when
Algy came down to the snail protectory
with scarlet socks and white duck
/ tootsie covers and his pants turned up
to give the socks room to siren abroad
their joyous strains, it was too much for
Perky. He came over to me.
Are you wise to the socks, Suzanne:'
he says.
Wisdom and knowledge are different
things, Perky" says. Maybe I'm not
wise to them, but I've hearsay inowl-
edge. Do you think I'm deaf?"
They won't do" says Perky.
Speak louder" 1 says, "they drown
your voice. Why won't they do?"
TOO loudT he says. This is the Of
fee of benevolent institution, not the
anteroom of tango hall. Those socks
give you the idea that if Algy peeled off
his clothes he would stand revealed as
the, crimson-tighted, gold-spangled gent
that turns three somersaults in the air
over seven elephants. Socks in this Of
fee should look as if. when the wearer
peeled, nothing would be seen but sad

Again the marines have sanctifled Vera
Cruz to all Americans.
George Barnett, a schoolboy in
Wisconsin village. going home for his
supper, was stopped IN the street by the
CONGRESSMAN from his district, who was
also his fathers friend and neighbor.
How would you like an appointment
to the Naval Academy at Annapolis?' the
Congressman asked.
Fighting as a business, had never en-
terd George Barnetts head. Nor had he
ever thought about ships, except abstract
eddy. The largest body Of water he had
seen as yet was a pond and the largest
craft was a skif. Indeed, George Bar
nett did not know how to swim
But he had heard of Annapolis and so
he answered joyfully. though diffidently
that the appointment would suit him
exactly. George Barnett never returned
to the village school In June. that year,
1877, he passed his examinations and was
admitted to the academy on the Severn
River in Maryland.
The other day Col. George Barnett, just
back from Porto Rico, where he took a
brilliant part with the Atlantic Fleet in
advance base maneuvers, was informed
that the President had made him major
general commandant of the United States
Marine Corps. He is now the highest
officer therefore. in that branch of the
naval service. His force numbers more
than 1000 men, many of whom are now
in Mexico.
Graduating at Annapolis in 1881, Gen.
Barnett spent two years at sea as a
cadet. The navy then was small and
more young men were being educated
than were needed on the ships. Most Of
Gen. Barnett's classmates were given a
years pay and sent' out into civil life.
He could have gore into the line. the
Engineering Division or the Marine Corps
the choice was his and he became a
marine.
The decision he made as a young man
was Solomonic. Had he entered the line
he would now be the captain OF a ship.
The captain Of a ship Is the same In
rank as the colonel OF regiment In the
army. There is no officer, afioat or on
shore. higher than a major general.
A Famous Officer of Marines.
Adding in his service at sea as cadet
just out of Annapolis, Gen. Barnett has
been in the navy thirty-three years, six
teen of which he lived on ships IN home
and foreign waters. He does not look
like a veteran, however. He must be
fifty and more; a stranger would guess
