AID ARMIES AS FORAGERS.
Wife of Federal Officer Leads Rebels
Into Ambush and Then Escapes In
Rain of Bullets—Wealthy Young Wo-
man Takes Her Dead Brother's Place
In Constitutionalist Ranks.
|
i
Women of Mexico are playing al
prominent part in the warfare of the
southern republic as “soldaderas,” for-'
aging successfully for their men folk
in the armies and occasionally being:
actual fighters, according to corre- |
spondence from Del Rio, Tex. {
This is true probably because the!
present revolution has touched individ- |
uals and homes more intimately than |
any other conflict of recent times in
Mexico. Many women have left their’
homes rather than remain alon-., and
a few of them have gone under fire to
get revenge. |
Girl Replaces Brother. |
In the siege of the large city of
Monterey a valued member of Gen-
eral Pablo Gonzales’ Constitutionalist
command was Senorita Maria Sanchez.
said to be n wealthy Castillan, whose '
brother was shot by federal irregu-
lars. She gave up the comforts of a
luxurious home and begged permission |
to replace her brothe.. :
Recently at Monclova a son of Seno- |
ra Plmental of that city had been
sentenced to be shot. The mother, it
is said, entered the federal jail by
stealth and, stabbing two guards, re-
leased her boy, and both escaped to
the Constitutionist headquarters at
Hermanos.
In the federal ranks there is told the
story of the wife of an officer who
led the Constitutionalists into an am-!
buscade at Puerta Carmen and,
though fired upon by the angered reb- |
els, galloped through the lines to her
husband's side. :
When less than a month ago the fed-
eral army of General Maas occupied
the Constitutionalists’ provisional cap-
ital at Piedras Negras “soldaderas”
played an important part in the blood-
less capture. |
Women Guard Wagon Train.
A small group of them pitched their
tents on the overlooking hills two days
before the soldiers arrived. When the
army came fully 500 of these soldier-
women accompanied the troops. most
of them guarding the wagon train
which their skill as foragers had sup-
plied. After the city was occupied the
women spread food for the entire army
in the plaza. These “soldaderas” are
expert with both knife and rifle.
One of the famous women fighters is
Mrs. Alonzo Alanis, who recently sur-
rendered to the Huerta garrison in
Juarez and was pardoned. She is the
wife of a former Maderist commander
and became a leader during the revolt
against Madero.
One night at the head of a picked
band she rode into Juarez, held up the
police station, took all available arms
and escaped to the hills. She remain-
ed at the head of her troop several
months,
WOMAN A LUMBERJACK.
With Twin Daughters Will Supply
Chicago's Christmas Trees.
Many of the Christmas trees which
will make Chicago children happy this
year will be brought from the woods
of northern Michigan through the ef-|
forts of a widow and her twin daugh- |
ters. The husband and father of the’
family lost his life last winter when
the Christmas tree ship Rouse Sim-
mons, of which he had been captain
for twenty years, went to the bottom
of Lake Michigan during a storm.
Mrs. Herman Schuenemann of Chi-
cago, the widow, is now in the Michi:
gan woods directing a force of men in
the work of cutting the trees. Her |
twin daughters, Elsie and May. are
looking over the Chicago shipping lists
for a vessel in which to bring the trees
to market.
“Since father went down with the
ship Rouse Simmons," said Elsie to an
interviewer, “mother has felt she had
a work to carry on as a memorial and
is determined that one Christmas ship
shall bear his name.”

Francis B. Sayre, Bridegroom.
Miss Eleanor Wilson, |
ROM the time of the announce-
ment of the engagement of
Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson,
second of the president's three
daughters, and Francis B. Sayre the
entire country took the livellest inter-
est in the arrangements for the wed-
ding, and as the day, Nov. 23, ap-
proached the interest increased apace.
With the return of Mrs. Wilson and
| her daughters t» Washington about the
middle of October the White House
Sayre knew in Labrador and with
whom he trailed northern Newfound-
land; Dr. Gilbert H. Horax of Mont-
clair, N. J.. classmate of the bride
groom at Williams, class of 1909. now
at Johns Hopkins medical school, and
Charles E, Hughes, Jr.. son of Justice
Hughes of the United States supreme
court, who was a classmate of Mr.
Sayre at Harvard law school.
Elegance and Simplicity.
Invitations to the wedding were in a
style of simple elegance, engraved on

the details of the wedding were 30 ' about 9 by 10 inches, with the United |
varied and numerous that Mrs, Wil
clal secretary.
While Miss Wilson was the thir-
teenth bride going forth from the
White House, her marriage was only
the fifth in which ¢he bride was a
president's daughter. It was announced
that the company witnessing the wed-
ding would not be as large as that
assembled at the marriage of Miss
Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas Long:
worth, for the president and his wife
desired to limit an otlicial company to
about 400 guests.
Selecting the Guests.
At a visit made by Miss Isabelle
Hagner, Mrs. Wilson's social secreta-
ry, to the summer White House at
Cornish, N. H., there was made what
was believed to be a final revision of
the official guests and personal friends
to whom invitations were to be sent.
Following this final revision, however,
there were additions and subtractions
made from time to time, but the list
always was carefully guarded. It was
a delicate matter, this selection of the
guests, and Washington society par-
ticularly awaited the names of the
highly favored ones.
The plans called for the wedding to
be held at 4:30 p. m. on Tuesday, Nov,
25. The Rev. Sylvester W. Beach, the
president's pastor at Princeton, N. J.,
was selected to perform the ceremony.
The Official Details.
When the official details of the wed-
ding were announced it was seen that
the bride would be attended by her el- |
der sister, Margaret, as maid of honor
and her younger sister, Eleanor; Miss
Mary G. White of Baltimore, Miss A.
Goucher, a college friend of the bride;
Miss Adeline Mitchell Scott, daughter
of Professor Willlam B. Scott of
Princeton, and Miss Marjorie Brown,
daughter of Mrs. Wilson's cousin, Colo-
nel E. T. Brown of Atlanta, Ga., as
bridesmaids.
Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, with whom
Mr. Sayre worked in Labrador, was
selected as the best man, and the ush-
ers were named as follows: Benjamin
B. Burton of New York, a graduate of
Williams college, 1912; Dr, Scoville
Olark of Salem, Mass, whom Mr.

Handsome Wedding Gown.
The wedding gown was made in
Like her mother, she is a blond, with
a Greck profile, a delicate rose pink |
complexion and large blue eyes. She |
plays tennis, rides horseback, swims |
and dances, |
As this was to be a chrysanthemum
wedding, it had been arranged to have |
great quantities of this flower adorn |
the White House. The predominating |
color was mauve, the bride's favorite |
color, and there is no color which con- |
trasts and harmonizes more perfectly |
with the newly decorated White House. |
The Honeymoon Plans. |
Tentative plans for the honeymoon '
included a visit to Windsor Forges,
near Churchtown, Pa., the home of |
Miss Nevin. the bridegroom's aunt,
where Miss Wilson and Mr. Sayre!
were visiting when they first met. Mr.
Sayre will take his bride to Williams- |
town, Mass., where their home, leased
from Professor William E. McElfresh, |
at 40 Grace street, has been put in!

Mr. Sayre is also interested in social
settlement work.
Something About the Bride,
Miss Jessie Wilson was born at
Gainesville, Ga. Her early education
was at hom uader a German govern-
ess. After { aishing her studies at the
Baltimore Woman's college she went
into settlement work. She is the
youngest member of the national
board of the Young Women's Chris-
tian association. and she composed a
number of the prayers read at the'Y.

Slight Hitch Over Present.
The house of representatives declar-
ed its intention of giving Miss Wilsor
a handsome present on the occasion of
her wedding. Representative Edward
W. Townsend of Montclair, N, J., a
member of the committee chosen to
select the gift, said:
“We received from members of the
house chout $2,000 in contributions to
Miss Wilson's wedding gift fund. It
was the purpese of the committee to
select a present which would be of
practical use to the bride all her life.
All the committeemen are married, and
that settled the matter. We thought
the young bride would be better pleas-
ed with a silver table set than gems or
anything else.”
Incidentally this proposal of mem-
bers contributing to a present caused
a little unpleasantness in the house of
representatives. Representative Fin-
ley H. Gray of indiana criticised his
legislative associates In a speech for
“chipping in” for a wedding gift. Pres-
ident Wilson himself, it is said. had
intimated his disapproval of the move-
ment. which had been started by Re-
publican Floor Leader Mann. Never-
There are some who think that |
fresh air and out r exercise will keep
a man in perfect health. Yet a trip
through a farming country will discover
any number of farmers suffering with
trouble. It's the usual story:
—Standing water should never be al-
lowed to remain where sheep and cattle
can get free access to it, as it always has
some kind of diseased breeding germs in
it, which results in the loss of stock oc-
casionally.
Too much work, too little rest, and un-
suitable diet. Whenever the stomach
and other organs of digestion and nutri-
tion become diseased, the whole body is
menaced, through the consequent lack of
nutrition and the corruption of the blood
supply. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical

the blood, nourishes the nerves, and gives |
vitality to every organ of the body. !
