BANDIT IS A HERO
Reasons Why Mexican Is at War
With Madera.
Wae Victim ef the Diss Tyranny—
Became Agitator When Hie Prop,
erty Waa Conflecated and He
Had to Labor aa Peon.
Cuernarvaca. Me*.—"Zapata, the
Bandit," "Zapata, the liberator"—
these are the two public eatlmatee
placed upon the man who for more
U n a year haa been carrying on a
continuous warfare against the con-
atltuted government In this Dart of
eouthern Mexico.
It Is distinctly a war of the claasea
"The TUer of Ayala." aa ZapaU la
called 1 bin hundreds of admiring
followers, claims to be fighting for
the freedom of the peon element and
the small property holders, who he
declares hare long suffered from the
tyrannical acta and policies of the
government. He also has personal
grievances and wronga which he
wants to avenge.
Zapata Is a product of the Dial
rule. He waa one of the vlctlma of
•the aystem that oppressed many of
the lower ciaaa all over the country
during the Diaz regime. It happened
to hla caae that there exlated In him
an element of fighting power and re-
lentless cruelty which marked him for
•the leadership of the people who bad
auffered similar wrongs. He Is now
paying the government back for the
Injuries It did him.
In the days of Dlas men who did
not agree with the government were
quickly put where they could do no
harm. Zapata was arrested and sen-
tenced to a long term of exile in the
hot lands of (julntana Koo. It was to
that remote region that most of the
political prisoners were sent. Few of
.them survived their terms of exile.
But Zapata had a constitution of Iron.
Even in the distressing circumstances
under which he then labored he
planned the vengeance that be has
been Inflicting on his oppressors for
the last twelve months. He lived
through his term of exile and returned
to his home In Ayala. The years
went by slowly and Zapata quietly
fomented a spirit of retaliation
against tbe government among the
people of his class. This waa berore
Madero started bis (evolution, and it
la now known that even had tbe lat-
ter not Inaugurated hla revolt against
the Dlas government ZapaU would
have soon started one of hla own.
Zapata did not quit fighting wl
the peace compact waa signed be-
tween Madero and the Dlas govern-
ment He had wrongs still to avenge,
and the petty municipal and district
offlcers who had carried out the or-
ders of the government were the spe-
cial objects of his vengeance. He and
bis men have shown special hatred
and cruelty toward the land owners
who dispossessed them of their small
farms.
Emlliano Zapata la the hero of the
common people, not only of the states
that are now tn actual revolt, but of
all portions of the country. The seeds
of revolt that have been sown by
Zapata are likely to continue to bear
fruit for years to come, unless the
government Is able quickly to grant
the demands of the lower class for a
division among them of the vaat es-
tates which have for the most part
been established by tbe merging of
small properties taken either by force
or by semblance of law.
Zapata Is a man of fine physique.
He was married only a few months
ago to a pretty mountain girl, and she
has been his constant companion ever
since.

Ashevtile, N. C.—Placing a much
higher value on hla services than any-
one else. Mrs. P. H. Traah hired her

amounting to 9400, and to be Impris-
oned In jail thirty daya; but upon
the tearful petition of the wife the
judge stipulated that if the county
commissioners chose to do so they
might hire the defendant for his
term to the highest bidder, but not
less than $500.
Tbe board decided to take the
money and In default of other bids
the defendant was struck off to the

Is a check for 91-77. which waa re-
ceived by Charles A. Rose, document

unteers to another and at the time of
this transfer there waa due him
91.77. The amount was never paid
and Mr. Rose had even forgotten that
he bad it coming until the check ar-
rived yesterday.

Panels House With Warship
Hard as Iron Are the Timbers of Brit-
ish Frigste Despite
Its Age.
New York.—Oaken timbers from the
old British warship, the Daedalus,
have been brought to New York and
are being converted Into paneling for

parts of the hull were taken from
the Atlantic transport liner Messba.
It waa found necessary to Invent a spe-
cial machine to pull the wrought Iron
apikes from the wood. In tbe parti
of the keelson tbe bolts were one and
a quarter Inches in circumference.
The timbers are being turned Into
paneling at Sherwln a Herman's In
East One Hundred and Thirty-seventh

months. The old oak panels will be
stained dark brown and will be given
a dull finish. They will be put In the

Seta Gold Wall In Artery.
New York.—An assemblage of
physicians and surgeons, many or
them rrom other cities, was held
spellbound by an operation perform-
ed by Dr. William C. Lusk A new
Interior wall of gold wire was sup-
piled for a distended aorta, the prin-
cipal wall had been torn to such a
thinness that It threatened to burst
at each beat of the heart. It was
necessary to perform the operation to
pierce the wall of this artery. Had
the worn walls ripped or cracked un-
der the pulsations of the heart while
the operation was in progress, the pa-
tient's death would have been a mat-
ter of moments. Under tbe condi-
tions It was necessary to use only lo-
cal anesthetics, and the patient waa
conscious throughout. Henry E. Grif-
fin. tbe patient. Is 63 years old.

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE
"I can truthfully say Cutlcura Rem-
edies have cured mo of four long
years of eczema. About tour years
ago I noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving It any attention. It soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If I would have them In water for a
long time, they would burn like lira
and large cracks would come. I could
lay a pin in them. After using all
the aalves I could think of, I went to
three different doctors, but all did
BM no good. Tbe only relief I got waa
scratching.
"So after bearing so much about the
wonderful Cutlcura Remedies. I pur-
chased one complete set. and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely well, one set being all I used."

PUT "OHOST ON DEFENSIVE
Iriehman Waa In Tight Place, but Net
Toe Frightened to Be Ready
With Retort.
To Illustrate the ever ready wit of
the Irish, the following story waa told
at a banquet held recently:
An Irishman on bis way home at
night was In tbe habit of cutting
through a cemetery la order to short-
en the distance. A group of friends
evolved a scheme to have some fun
his expense. Accordingly they
found a sunken grave across which
his path lay, dug it out and covered It
with boards in such a manner that he
must fall Into the yawning cavity.
The Irishman came along and ev-
erything happened as per schedule.
While be waa still squirming" about In
the bottom of the bole, striving to ex-
tricate himself, three or four of his
friends, attired In whlta sheets and
other ghoatly accoutrements, sudden-
ly msde their appearanoe. Pat waa
frightened out of hla wlta aad almost
tainted when one of them said:
"What are you doing in my grave?"
The tone was sepulchral. It made
the Irishman's hair stand almost on
end. but he could not forego a witty
retort.
"Faith, and what are you doing out
of ltr he asked.
In a Bad Way.
Stranger (la train)—A man In your
business can't get home very often, I
presume?
Commercial—Home? I should aay
not. Why. air, I get home so seldom
that I cant remember half the time
where 1 live. Have to telegraph to
the firm to send me my address!
Stranger—You don't say so!
Commercial—That's true. Why. one
time I waa away so long that I forgot
I'd ever been married and I took
in a strange town that I eloped with
her.
Stranger—My! My I
Commercial —Yes, It would have
been a terrible thing; but when I call-
ed on the firm during my honeymoon

me she waa my wife before.—London

No End to His Bad Luck.
John D. Shoop. at an Anti-Cigarette
league banquet, explained his feelings
In the story of the colored man.
"How are you getting along, Las-
arus?" asked his master. Interestedly.
"I gets along poorly," replied Lax
arua, who complained of his misfor-
tune at length. "Master John. I haa
such bad luck," says be, "that when I
dies and Is laid away la the tomb and
the good Lord aaya to me, 'Laaaras,
come forth.' I know I la aho' to come
fifth."
Bey Had Hetlsed Things.
The dear little office-boy had heea
detected la a Be. It waa mot one of
the ordinary prevarications of the
everyday world, and. moreover, to
make the crime more grievous, he had
persisted tn adhering to his original
mendacious statement.
"Do you know, my lad." aaked a
grizzled clerk. In a kindly fashion,
"what becomes of young lads who
trifle with tbe truth?"
Aye," waa the aaaured reply; "the
boss often sends them out as travel-
ers whsn they grow up!"
He Shut the Shutter*.
"Willie, didn't I tell you to shut that
shutter?" said Mrs. Boggs.
"The shutter s shut." replied Willie,
'and I can't shut It any shutter."
