The outlook from the Presidential
tent Is most attractive. At the rear OF
the tent is a lofty hedge behind which
Secret Service men can be sheltered
as they stand guard over the Chief
Magistrate. In the opposite direction
the occupant of the tent looks out
upon the famous White House flower
garden which extends TO the Execu-
tive Office building. over the roof OF
the latter glimpse may be gained
OF that massive granite pile, the State
War and Navy Department Building
which cost Uncle Sam $11. 100000 and
is claimed to be the largest ofncS
building in the world. The flower gar
den at the White House is one beauty
spot at the Mansion which is not open
to inspection except to intimate friends
of the Presidential family. The gar
den was first laid out during the
Roosevelt administration and Is rear
ranged IN accordance with the per-
sonal preference OF each successive
Mistress OF the White House.
Need or Quiet
Tent life for the President OF tho
United States will not only mean an
opportunity for the busy Executive to
work in the coolest and most health
full environment in Washington. but
1t will also afford comparative quiet
from the clamor Of crowds that now
and then surge around the Executive
Offices. Only the other day when

Washington happened to choose that
particular time to treat the President
to a serenade. President Wilson likes
and needs quiet for his more serious
work. Time and again during the
past year when important business
was in hand ne has sought the seclu-
sion OF his study on the second moor

has been arranged for him Is pat
termed after what Is known as the
tropical hospital tent" Of the L. s.
Army-a tent designed to ward off the
heat OF the tropics and likewise to
Withstand the torrential rains which
are likewise characteristic OF the re-
gions nearer the equator.
In size the Presidents new tent ap-
proximates an average room in many
an American residence. that Is little
over IA feet long by 15 feet wide and
some IL feet In height. over the tent
proper Is fly or canopy a tritle larger
than the top Of the tent and the func-
ton of which Is TO ward off the rays
of the sun as we'll as to afford extra
protection in the event of heavy rain.
AS used In the army such tents have
sides after the fashion of all reRula-
ltion wall tents. but it Is not anticipate.
that there will be any use for sides In
the case OF the tent at the White
House. When the President Is occu-
plying the tent he will want the benefit
Of all the air that is stirring, and when
the weather is so Indictment that sides
might be needed for protection the
President, presumably, will not be
making use of the tent.
The feature which distinguishes
this tent from the similar type of tent
familiar to all our readers is the VEN
tilator which has place just under
the ridge of the tent and is sewed Sc
curely to the tent so as to form part
OF 1t. The ventilator, the principle Of
which Is very simple, consists OF strip
of duck IA feet long and Is Inches In
width in which are four holes each
about n foot in diameter. The warm
air being lighter will ascend through
these holes and escape from the tent
and thus a circulation of air Is main
tanned. Electric communicative wires
connect the tent with the White House
offices proper. There are push buttons
on the table provided for the use OF
the President and also a telephone
connection.
Simple Furniture.
Artistic but simple Is the furniture
which has been provided. II Is fin
ished in white enamel and as conse-
quently thoroughly in harmony with
the setting afforded by the khaki
colored tent and the green lawn and
shrubbery. There are only three

that he would some day become q
great man. He kept up his military
training and did good service for
President Diaz during the early part
of his regime-before his desire for
power and wealth developed. He mar

"A son, was recently married in Mex

He is so anxious to have his army
make a showing that he has several
times sentenced criminals to serve In
its ranks rather than In prison. Sev-
eral of these criminal soldiers have
met death at the hands Of Villas men.
They were found footing houses and
not fighting in the ranks. Huerta
has even pressed women into the serv-
ice. and a number of them have been
killed. He plans the most diabolical
schemes to force men into his army,
caring nothing for their families who
are left to get along as best they can.
Death or do my bidding" Is his motto
and the Mexican knows this and does
his bidding.
From the time Vera Cruz was taken
by the Americans he has led the ig-
norant Mexicans to believe that Mex
leo and United States are at war and
has given the drunken mob full lib
erty to act as they please and to loot
American property IN Mexico City and
elsewhere. His humor Is coarse, but

That his downfall is not far distant
seems sure, for he has already seen
the handwriting on the wall, and Is
said to be preparing for the end. Ru-

Mexico and will die in the ruins have
been circulated. This may or may not
be true, but one thing Is certain, and
that is that unless some great pres

him to leave the country he will sell
his liberty or his life dearly. He has
already cost the lives Of a number of
our sailors and martnes, and who can
predict how many more men may be
sacrificed before this brute-man can
be made to absent himself from Mexi-
can politics. His acts since he left tho
military school seem to stamp him as
a modern Caligula-a man whose ca
reer sends a shudder through the civil-
lied world.

the South. Zapata declares that he
intends to kill the despot on sight
When Huerta returned to the capital
city Madero made him a general and
again retired him on half pay. Once
more ne engaged In business, and had
all his arrangements made to become
a partner in a marble quarry, when
the Orozco rebellion broke out and
Madero again recalled him to the
army. 1t was during this trouble that
he and Villa clashed, and Huerta, be-
ing the senior officer, accused Villa
Of lack Of discipline. and would have
had him executed but for the inter-
vention Of Madero. Consequently, the
best he could do was to throw Villa
into prison.
This gained for him the eternal en-
nifty Of the present Constitutionalist
general. who made a similar vow to
that Of Zapata. declaring that he will
never be satisfied until Huerta is dead.
So, with Zapata on the south, and
Villa on the north, and the United
States demanding his elimination from
Mexican affairs, it looks as II Huerta' s
house Of cards Is ready to tumble.
After the putting down of the Orozco
rebellion Madero a third time dis
pensed with the services of Huerta, but
toward the close of his short regime

luton against the Madero government
came on.
Dastardly Acts.
Huerta was placed in charge Of the
government troops. and 1t is authori-
tatively stated that he actually had

ton Of dignity. But scarcely has his
last guest left the palace when he be-
takes himself to some disreputable
cafe where he INDUCES in a regular
debauch. Strange as 1t may seem, al
cohol seems to have little effect on
his vigorous constitution except to act
as a stimulant, and when under it's
influence the savagery Of the Indian
race crops out, and his cruelty has no
limit. He is obsessed with the idea
that Mexico can not do without him,

Has No Confldants,
He rarely confdes his business to
anybody-even his Cabinet is kept in
ignorance of what he intends to do.
They are frequently summoned at
some unearthly hour of the night and
given orders. An argument with him
means dismissal and even worse. Last
year one of the members, Senior Cara
Aldape, had the boldness TO advise
President Huerta to resign. The other
members stood aghast for few min
utes. fearing for the life of their col
league, but President Huerta merely
asked for his resignation and the next
day packed him off to France as min
lister to that country.
Huerta Is at present about sixty
nine years Of age-tall and erect, with
the characteristic Indian features. The
top of his egg-shaped head Is bald
while closely cropped grey hair covers
the back and sides. His sight Is poor
and he is frequently compelled to wear

attention. Blocks Of ice were placed
in a sort of refrigerator In the base
ment and the iced air from this cold
storage compartment was forced by
means of fans into and through the
Presidents offices. 1t was beautiful
plan in theory, but the only trouble
about it was that in practice the air
was not only cold. but damp. and 1t
looked like a case where the cure was
worse than the disease. One official
