bodies were riddlcd with bullets fired

Huerta seized his opportunity and
the executive power at the same time.
To give semblance of legality to that

a reckless needle. 10 it he added
constant applications Of three-star
cognac and ran wild. Failing to
secure recognition. he thrust insult

Carranza raised revolutionary
force in tho north Immediately after
Madcro's assassination and in con-
junction with Pancho Villa and other
chiefs, gradually gained control Of
the northern section of the country.
On July ). 1911, Huerta went
through the form OF an election and
declared himself the choice of the
Mexican people for another six-year
term.
1t was evident, however. that he had
lost his hold on the country and that
his days in power were numbered.
He announced in confidence to his
close followers that he was about to
abdicato. Tho Presidential train was

years he had ruled Mexico with an

not bear to rclinquish it's use. So.
on March 3, 1910 he had himself
elected for another term OF six years.
The iron hand had lost it's grip. how
ever. and 1t was no longer an impair
tial hand.

forces raised by Francisco l. Madero

HEN DOES DOUBLE DUTY

Geo. Buchanan has hen story.
He says he has one hen out a. the
ranch that has been doing double
duty. The other day upon gathering &
the eggs they found one that was too
large to 30 into the crate they used
for sending to market so Mrs.
Buchanan decided George could have
II for HIS breakfast. She broke the
outside shell and found II contained
but one yoik, when she had expected
TO find two. The surprise came when
she discovered another fully formed
hard shelled egg inside the other,
the shell being even harder than the
outside one. Upon breaking II she
found this egg to be normally form
ed In every respect but not 80 large
as an oydiiary hen egg.
