times from the Bridal Altar.
CoNSTANTINoPLE, Nov. 27.-An earnest
appeal has been presented to the Armenian
patriarch to use his influence in behalf of
the Christian women and girls of Ar
menia who are being carried off in large
numbers by the kurds. 1t appears that
women are scarce among the wild tribes
men, who, when they want wives, swoop
down on some Armenian neighborhood
and bear away all the good looking young
women they can find, thus leaving to the
Armenian young men only the less at
tractive. III several instances the Kurds
have broken in on wedding parties, and
carried the bride off from the feast or
church.
Have a Market for the Surplus"
1t is believed that the Kurd tribesmen
must nearly all have Armenian wives,
judging from the number stolen, al
though it is also intimated that they dis
pose of the surplus at fair market price
for Turkish and Persian harems. The
Turkish authorities are accused OF en-
couraging the Kurds in their lawlessness,
and instead of trying to catch and punish
the raiders they arrest and imprison the
Armenians who resist them. One Ar.
menian father at Sivas, blessed with four
daughters, went to the vail 20 ask for
protection, as he feared a visit from the
kurds, and was Immediately seized and
kept in prison for week. When he was
released his daughters were gone.

Reasons Why Young Folks Should
Read The World.

Do you know that out of about twenty
papers from everywhere, though mostly
from western Kansas, which we go
through every week, there is not one
where the editors work for the benefit of
the young reader more than do your
editors of the WORLD. They have always
thought of you and kept their paper clean
and bright. The prettiest and best side
of everything is printed. You may read
the WORLD every week in the year and
find only language that you might repeat.
That cant be said of all papers. There
is no can't and hypocrisy about it. You
know that you may pick up the paper
without being preached at all the time.
Our editors do not take up time and
space in quarreling with other editors.
This aside from the information that you
will gain, gives you few reasons why
you should read the WORLD. You may
think of the rest.
