the Kansas City Southern Railway.
Burgett. an express messenger, fought
desperately with the bandits. There
were four men in the party and they are
believed to be the same who particle
pated in other robberies. The men
jumped to the side Of the express car
as the train was pulling out Of Hat
field. With the butts Of their revolvers
they broke the glass in the door and
reached in and unfastened it. Burgett
hearing the attack ran to the safe. took
out the valuables and concealed them
and then armed himself with two revol-
vers and a shotgun. He opened fire as
the men struggled to get In. The rob-
bers fired at him. One Of them was
wounded.
I'm a goner. and you better take me
off," one Of the men shouted. The train
was running forty miles an hour. but
one Of the robbers took the wounded
man in his arms and jumped.

Just then the Others forced their way
into the car and rushed Burgett. Bur-
gett had taken a position behind some
trunks and the battle continued
Finally the men ran out of ammunition.
He struck one bandit a staggering blow
with his clubbed gun. but then he was
beaten insensible.
One robber searched the safe, which

unsuccessful hunt for the valuables.
Then he cut the air upon the train,
bringing 1t to a stop. and dragging out

MOOSE MEET IN CHICAGO
ProereosiVcs Plan to Push Program
Before State and National
Assemblies.

Frankly bidding for the confidence
of the nation in its moral and intel
lectual leadership, the progressive
party will put forth legislative, con-
structive program from it's conference
in Chicago this week that will be
pressed on congress and the legislat-
ures of the several states with all the
force that the new party can organ
ize behind it.
Experts are now at work framing a
series of eight bills that will consti-
tute the minimum demand of the
progressives in the Illinois Legislature.
There are short ballot measure,
initiative and referendum, and a con-
stitutional amendment permitting
initiation of amendments to the con-
stitution; complete new popular pri-
mary law; corrupt practices act; min
imum wage legislation public utili-
ties legislation; a measure for the
protection Of railroad employees, and
adoption Of the famous Kansas "blue
sky law to control the sale Of secur-
tiles and insure that they shall have
value behind them before they may be
marketed.
These measures, adapted to the re-
quirements of each state, will be pre-
sented and pushed wherever there is
a legislature in session. They consti-
tute the backbone of the peoples rule
program of the party. The leaders are
confident that the many legislatures
under the spur of the public demand
which the progressive campaign has
aroused, will move for these things
the present winter.

Of Bacchus.
In the Yuletide celebrations Of the Druds OF
ancient Britain. the evergreen had distinctive
place with Ivy holly and mistletoe. The Druds
believed that the evergreens sheltered the goou
spirits of the air who fed to them at the approach
of cold weather.
There is Scandinavian myth that tells OF the
tree that sprang from the blood-soaked ground
where two lovers met violent death. and OF
mysterious lights that lowered about the tree at
Christmas time. At the period OF the winter SOL
stice. the ancient Egyptians decorated their
houses with palm leaves which symbolized Inn
mortality and the starry sky. At this period OF
the year the ancient Persians decorated the plane
tree with ornaments and jewels.
An old German tradition gives Saint Wilfred
the credit of transforming the tree worship of the
savage Teutons to Christian ceremony. 1t was
about the year 725 that he led party Of priests
into central Germany for the conversion Of the
worshipers of god Thor. Prince Gregor the
grandson OF a king. was with him, having been
intrusted to his by the abbess OF the cloister
Phalzel. On Christmas they were fighting
their way through the snow OF the forest when
they came upon the heather tribe OF Geismar.
They were assembled under the thunder oak.
