The English minister to Mexico is

Pullman conductors and porters

direction.
Statistics show a constant advance
In wages both in American and Euro

f pace with the advance 1n the cost of

reason for believing that In the near

upon which men subsist will be ma

Sta'e's Attorney Floyd E. Thompson
needs help in ridding the city of un
desirables. He requires evidence In
the prosecution of property holders
tinder indictment for resting premises
owned by them for Immoral purposes.
The cases In point involve the much
complained of, and so called black belt
district.
The last grand jury went as far as it
could in returning indictments against
certain people who rent their property
to undesirables, mainly of the colored
population, for disreputable purposes.
State's Attorney Thompson is willing
to go as far as he can, in prosecutions
under the indictment, but no convic
tion can be had without evidence.
That there is evidence to be had there
is not reasonable ground for doubt.
If he cannot get it otherwise the
state's attorney is willing to do as he
did In the Camp Joy rendezvous and
go oul and search for it.
In this purpose he is entitled to the
cooperation and aid of those who arJ
la a position to render information,
and if be 1 given the assistance ha
deserves. It Is believed he will rid the
Ctt of udeelrables.
He mur, a,ra feeln an! those who
have with abundant, reason complain
ed, can help him if they will.
IS HERE TO STAY.
It is rery evident that the progres
sive movement was not organized
merely to oust President Taft or en.
compass some slight 'changes in the
rules governing - republican national
conventions. It ' is here to stay and
supplant the' republican party just as
the early republican part; supplanted
the whigs.
"No amalgamation, no quarter asked
or given," is the answer of the pro
gressive state organization in Illinois
to the preliminary harmony conference
of progressives and republican legis
lators held in Springfield during the
state fair, shouts the party organ.
The official reply of the progres
sives came at a roundup of the party
leaders from the Cairo congressional
district held at Duquoin under the au
thority of the reorganized progressive
state commlt'ee. It was tie first of a
series to be held in strategical politi
cal centers in each of the main dt
vlsicns of the state, and unless signs
fail the action taken in Duquoin will
he followed all through the state, cul
mlna'ing probably In a state conven
tion at which the edict will go out that
if there Is to be any amalgamation it
wT.l have to be a free will proposition j
on the part of the republicans and
that the republicans will have to come
Into camp 'and accept the progressive
platform.
The progressives threaten to start a
nominee for congress in each of the 25
districts of the state, a single nominee
for the Illinois houfe of rrpresenta-
ties in each of the SI senatorial dis
tricts, and a nominee for the state
senate in each of the 26 d.stricts which
elect in November of next, year, and
also- a candidate for United States
sena'or.

Columns have been printed in the
English and American newspapers
about the doingr and personalities of
Mrs. 'Emmeline PaukhurBt, the mili
tant suffraget leader now in the Unit
ed States, and her two daughters,
Chriatabel and Sylvia, oae of whom
is in exile In France anJ the other on
a hunger strike In Hollow-ay jail, but
hitherto not a line has been printed
about Dr. Pankhurst, the late husband
of the militant leeder.
Dr. Pankhurst, who was a Londoner,
graduated from Owens college, Man
chester, and afterwan! received sev
eral degrees from London university.
He was called to the bar in 1867 and
Joined the northern circuit. The aoc
tor was an indefatigable lecturer atd
delivered many addresses on legal,
social and political questions. He was
a progressive politician, was active In
the cause of popular education and
woman suffrage and took up the home
ruH movement in 1873.
Dr. Pankhurst wr.s a busy and en
ergetic man. He was a member of
the Manchester Chamber of Com
merce for 34 years, and during that
time was continually on the platform
advocating reforms of various kinds.
One of these was a reform of patent
laws, over which he made a strong
fijht. He was an active worker for
the promotion of social science and
acted as arbitrator in several trade
disputes.
Although the doctor was prominent
in advocating reforms and was in the
limelight constantly, his efforts were
not appreciated by his political friends.
He ran for parliament as a liberal in
Manchester In 18S3 and In Rotherhithe
in 1S86, and each time he was beaten,
lie became tired of what he called the
"plutocratic parties' and contested
Gorton as a labor candidate, but was
again unsuccessful. He died in 1S98.
In regard to the personality of Dr.
Pankhurst, one who occasionally met
!hlm in Manchester when he prac-
tlced as a chancery barrister and con-
,ributed radical articles to the Man-
Chester Examiner, before he became
j converted to socialism, says he was

TAVENNER, THE WORKER
(Ellsha Hanson, Washington Corre-,
spondent of Lee Syndicate.)
Representative Tavenner of Illinois
has won the first round in his fight
to have the government manufacture
its ammunition.
Turned down by the chairman of the
house committee on appropriations,
Representative Fitzgerald of New
York, Mr. Tavenner has secured a
promise from Representative nay oi
Virginia, chairman of the military af
fairs committee, to give him a hearing
before his committee when the mili
tary appropriation bill is considered
next session. Much of tue appropriat
ing for ammunition purposes is done
through the military committee,
thoueh in special cases it is handled
by the appropriations committee in the
sundry civil bill.
Mr. Tavenner's effdrt to get the gov
eminent to manufacture Its ammunt
tion at the Rock Island arsenal, has
stirred congressmen representing dis
tricts in which other arsenals are
located to Introduce hills approprlat
ing money to install ammunition plants
in each of them. Mr. Tavenner has the
edge on all of them, however, as there
are over SOU acres at Kocs isiana
available now for any purpose the gov
ernment sees fit and there is also all
the power necessary for all the manu
facturing that the government can
ever hope to co. Congressman ta-
munds of Philadelphia this week in
troduced a bill appropriating $500,000
for additional shops at the Frankfort
arsenal. Of this. $155,000 Is for addi
tional property; $200,000 for addition
al machinery; $40,000 for construc
tion of additional structures for fire
protection and-$140,000 for construc
tion of new shops. Any further exten
sion of the Frankfort arsenal means

Though at one time in the early his
tory of the country an average of
6,000 maple trees were destroyed in
stands near the top of the list of fur
clearing the ordinary New York or
Pennsylvania farm, maple is today,
according to the department of agri
culture, one of the most widely used
and valuable native hardwoods. A
bulletin on the uses of maple, just
issued by the department, states that
the wood finds place in an enormous
number of articles in dally use," from
rolling pins t pianos and organs. It
is one of the best woods for flooring,
and is always a favorite material for
the floors of roller skating rinks and
bowling alleys. It leads all other

The long weary session of congress
has caused considerable absenteeism
from the house and one day last week
there were so few members present
that it was ncessary to cause the ar
rest of absentees to transact business.
Among the few who were on hand
was Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner
of this district, who has been pres
ent at every session. He had Intended
returning to this district 'on urgent
business, but in view of the import
ant legislation before congress, he
decided to take no chances on leav
ing Washington. Not only is Mr. Tav
enner attending strictly to business,
in the interest of his constituency,
but he is weekly sending to hundreds
of newspapers letters informing the
people upon every phase of public
questions. His information is such as
is not obtained from the usual news
paper or official reports, but is largely
the result of personal investigation by
Mr. Tavenner, made in the Interest of
the people, in addition to his duties as
congressman.
Congressman Tavenner is the busi

NOTES
board feet annually. Sugar maple
niture woods in this country. The
so-called "birds-eye" effect, the depart
ment explains, is probably due to buds
which for some reason can not force
their way through the bark, but
which remain just beneath it year af
ter year. The young wood is disturb
ed each succeeding season by the
presence of the bud and grows around
it in fantastic forms which are exposed
when'' the saw cuts through the ab
normal growth. Maple, the depart
ment goes on to say, is one of the
chief - woods used for agricultural im
plements and farm machinery, being
so employed because of its strength
and hardness. All kinds cf wooden
ware are made of maple, which holds
important rank also in the manufac
ture of shuttles, spools and bobbins.
It competes with black gum for first
place in the manufacture of rollers
of many kinds,, from those employed
in house moving to the less massive
ones used on lawn mowers. Athletic
goods, school supplies, brush backs,
pulleys, type cases and crutches are
a few of the other articles for which
maple is in demand. Seven species
of maple grow in the United, of which
sugar maple, sometimes called hard
maple, is the most Important The
total cut of maple in the United States
annually amounts to about 1,150,000,
000 feet Nearly cml.iElf is pro
duced by Michigan, with Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, New York and West
Virginia following in the order named.
Sugar maple, says the department is
in little danger of disappearing from
the American forests, for it is a strong,
vigorous, aggressive tree, and though
not a fast grower is able to hold Its
own. In Michigan it is not unusual
for maple to take possession of land
from which pine or hardwoods have
been cut clean, and from New Eng
land westward through the lake states
and southward to the Ohio and Poto
mac rivers few other species are often,
er seen in woodlots.

ZIGZAG TRAIL BY CLARISSA MACKIE.
Copyrighted, 1913, by Associated Literary Bureau. .
"She came out of Cox's store, got on

Hamp Tctlow looked around at his
companions gathered about the mess
table In the bunk bouse at the Twin
Star ranch.
"Zigzag trail, eh?" repeated Jink
Prale. helping himself to another hot
biscuit
Yes.'
"Hove yon ever traveled that devious
route?" pursued Jink in his deliberate
way.
"No. but I've heard tell that since the
landslide there ain't footing there for
man or benst." -
"No more there ain't," returned Jink,
buttering his ninth hot biscuit "That's
why I reckoned you was dreaming
when you said you saw a girl aud
pony disappear down the trail."
"It was bright moonlight and I saw
her plain as day," returned Hamp, un
disturbed by Jink's skepticism. "Be
sides. I vrcut back to tbe store and
asked Dan Cox who she was"
"Ar.d who Is she?" demanded a dozen
eager voices.
"Dan said ho didn't know; said she
never asked for mail, and that, al
though she bought plenty of supplies
from hlin. he didn't know any more
about her than he did at first Been
around these parts about four weeks,
Dan says."
Hamp Tetlow might have continued
to discourse upon bis chance encounter
with the strange girl, but his compan
ions were more interested in discuss
ing the approaching roundup than lis
tening to him.
Ferhaps he would have risked their
ridicule and described the singular
"binds up!" caub a sharp votes.

Jesiri to talk to empty air and pres
ently forgot the stranger.
On man among those at the table
llsteced to Hamp's story, and because
he was new to the country Rob Deer
liifl asked questions about Zlgzaj
trail.
Jln'-t Prole answered the questions
readily and went so rr as to tell the
newcomer that somewhere along the
abandoned trail was the tumbledown
cottage of a sheep herder, who had
left the country at the time when cat
tle hid crowded the sheep from the
range.
The next day Bob Deerlng was sent
In search of a lost steer.
His search led him down the west
bank of Red Spider creek, and eventu
ally bp came to the point where there
were Prices of an old trail that zig
zagged down the canyon and disap
peared In a heap of broken rocks and
earth.
"Zigzug trail:" lie .exclaimed, bend
ing doflu to examine the grans grown
way.
His teti years of cattle ranching since
college iays had made the signs of
earth anl sky as an open book to him.
For the trained eye there was much
to be read in the old trail.
"The Icat critter went this way."

too. Why? There isn't a blamed thing

Bob Deerlng left bis horse and scram
bled along the trail tbat zigzagged
among the rocks in tbe most puzzling
manner. So Intricate were its wind
ings that Bob presently fouud himself
scrambling on to the main trail again
and staring his horse In the face.
"Daniel. If you laugh at me I'll sen
you to a soap factory!" iwnted Bob as
Daniel resumed his nipping of tbe way
lide grass. "I've certainly got to gf-t
en to the right trail if it takes mc all
day. i missed a turn somewhere."
Bob turned about and once mom
scrambled along the trail. At an es
shaped rock be paused and studied the
ground, and then, plunging through a
thicket of mesquite. be found himself
on a well worn trail that circled tbe
shoulder of tbe hill and gradually led
upward.
Occasionally he stooped to study the
ground, and each pause only strength
ened bis tellef that.be was on tbe right
trail of ti e lost steer.
"Hands up!" came a sharp voice, and
Instinctively Cols bands went over his
head with quick discretion.
When he could discover lie source
tf the unexpected holdup ou Zigzag
trail Bob found himself confronting a
beautiful dark eyed young woman, who
leveled a pittol at him with each
steady hand.
She was the most beautiful creatnri
he had ever seen; Bob was sure of
that jet black hair waving about
shell pink ears, creamy skin, a pair of
wonderful eyes, sometimes black, oc
casionally almost green. She wore a
riding skirt of khaki and a whit shirt
waist. Her head was bare.
"Well." asked Bob pleasantly, "is it
my money or ray life?"
Tbe girl laughed nervously, and then
tears filled ber eyes.
"It's neither one. If yon will only go
away." she answered in a pleading
tone.
"Of course, if you wish It only I am
looking for a stray steer. Perhaps you
have seen such a one. It has the
twin star brand"
He stopped short for the girl's faro
had turned scarU't an then white. The
hands that held the guns wavered.
"I've seen It." she said at last in a
rather shaky voice.
"Where Is It?" he asked quickly.
The girl's face went very white, ami
she leaned against a tree for support,
the pistols hanging limply from ber
hands.
"It's-dend!" she said at last.
"Dead?" he echoed, puzzled by her
agitation.
"We killed It We needed it for
food. I suppose we will hang for It." '
she said, with a desperate attempt at
calmness, nithongh Bob could seo that
she was panic stricken.
He sat down on a stone and clasped
his sun browned hands around hla
knee. Ills broad bat lay on th
ground, and the wind ruffled his crisp,
fair hair.
"1 hope yon will pardon me. I'm
I not a bit curious, but I cau see tbat
you are in trouble of some sort. This
Is a lonesome country to be in when
old man Trouble hikes along, so per
haps I can help you ont Von may ,
place perfect confidence in me."
The girl studied bis face with her
wonderful, changing eyes. Then, with
a little catch of the breath, she said:
"If I tell you you must never betray
my confidence."
"You may trust me." said Bob.
The girl drew a sharp breath.
"My father lies hidden In tbe hut
yonder. He is a fugitive from Justice.
He killed a man. I came with him!"
Bob smothered an exclamation.
"What can I do to help you?" ho
asked quickly.
"Keep every one away and help m
to get some supplies. "Father is almost
crazy with grief and remorse, and he
is anxious to return and give himself
up; but" she ended fiercely. "I have
told him he must not now! In the
eyes of God he is Innocent and be
should not bo punished!""
"Thank you for the confidence yoti
repose in me. I will do what I can t
keep others aWay. Give me a Ifct of
tblugs'yon need, and 1 will puck them
here tonight."
Fifteen minutes later Bob Deerlng
mounted his patient horse and sped
about his business for the Red Star
ranch.
After supper that night he rode over
to Red Spider postofflce and astonish
ed Dan Cox by purchasing a large
quantity of supplies, including soma
fine cigars and a number of magazines
and newspapers.
Bob read the papers while he waited
for his packages, and wben he finally
turned into the trail alonjr the creek
bis face was a study of mingled pleas
ure and regret.
The trip along Zigzag trail In the
moonlight with his supplies for the
needy strangers, was no easy matter,
and Bob was quite breathless when haT
reached tbe sheep herder's hut
"Good news. Miss Ureyson." be said
after he had received her thanks and
those of her aged, careworn father.
"Good news for us?" sbe asked in
credulously. He nodded and. pulling a newspaper
from his pocket, beld it to the light
streaming from the door war and read
a paragraph that turned the current of
their lives.
It appeared that the man whom
James Grey sea had struck In self de
