Emiliano Zapata is the hero of the
common people, not only of the states
that are now in 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 vast es
tates which have for the most part
been established by the 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.

St. Paul, Minn.-Another proof that
Uncle Sam is honest and will pay his
debts as soon as he can is on exhibi
tion at the office of Julius Schmahl,
secretary of state, at the capitol. It
is a check for $1.77, which was re
ceived by Charles A. Rose, document
clerk. Uncle Sam has been owing
Mr. Rose this money since 1863 and
at last has got enough ahead to pay
the debt. In 1863 Mr. Rose was
transferred from one company of vol
unteers to another and at the time of
this transfer there was due him
$1.77. The amount was never paid
and Mr. Rose had even forgotten that
he had it coming until the check ar
rived yesterday.
