 At first Sari rejected the prof fered hand of RogOva. but his abductors threatened to kill him on the spot unless he made Rn- gOva his bride. Under cumpul- sion Sari consented. The next day the abduct"rs made another raid in a different direct ion and bore to the rendezvous a clergy man. who unwillin=ly SnlrmniZed the marriage of RUgoNa and Sari.
 In the meantime an armed party organized by the boys par ents, who are wcll-to-do people, had found the trail of the fugi- tives, but they arrived too late to prevent the marriage.

FUN.
By George Fitch

Fun is enjoyment with pepper and other spices in if. It is a sort of a class B pleasure. A man with a skyscraper brow can live happily all his life on such class X pleasure as literature, music and art. But the ordinary human has tO have a little fun now and then or he will be sour and become a social nuisance.
 There are several million va ricties of fun and most of these are harder on the system than work. If men had ln lie in icy 'awamps all day long shooting ducks for $2 a day he industrial commission would look into their case. A man will spend two days and S2OO trying to shin up a i5,- OO0-foot mountain peak, hanginl.

 Fun is almost anything that you don't have to do. Baseball is the most fun in the world un- l til man gets so good that he can command a salary for play ing il. Afterwards il is work, and when it rains and he dorSn' t
 have to play, he wcrpS with joy. Driving an automobile Is glnr- iuus fun and some men spend S5, ,O0O year for the privilege. Other men look paimrd and down. llruddrn when you neglect to give them fifty cents in addition [" the legal fare for running a ear four blocks on a nice spring day. some men can get a great deal of fun out of d checker game and other men can enjoy themselves thoroughly while chasing the weight of tiZZed star through a lhrrr-pound book of logarith-
 inns. Other men cannot enjoy themselves except by watching two stout prize-tighlerS reducing
 each others face tu Hamburg steaks. some men get their fun trying to drown themselves in the Niagara rapids in a motor boat. while a great many more spend happy years trying {" drown themselves out of a bottle.
 Mems tastes in fun have de- Irrminrd the progress Of the world. War was once a leading amusement and watching Chris ian martyrs fry at the stake was considered a noble pastimr. We are more particular now about our fun. but little undrrpaid chorus girls must still amusr us while they last, and when fun maker turns a gasoline tank in to a 60- horse power car and Jug gernautS through the city at d mile a minute no one has the heart to lynch him because he is merely amusing himself.
 When we can get our fun out of turning rascals out of office, swatting the selfish and inflict- ing awful surprises on the suf- fering in the shape of good fcl- lowship, the driver of the mil lenium will wake from his long sleep and crank his machine.

OLD NOVELTIES.

"A Veteran Observer in he Springfield lIll.l Republican an alyzes the conduct and composi- tion of the Bull Moose Party in Massachusetts, which has just acquired a newspaper organ m Boston. "Wr are justified in us ing that animal sillilc.' he says, ''because their trick of initiating bellowingS as applause shows how well the term fits and how much they like it." He points out that their enthusiasm is largely due to the novelty of their experience. and that is due to the fact that so many of them have utterly ignored in the past the evils that now excite them and have neglected the duties which they now think are per- formed by themselves only. In Massachusetts for many years there has existed an active move ment for the bcttermcnt of labor conditions. It has always been supported by the Democratic pasty and has accomplished much. The leaders of the Bull Moose party. some of them i'll pure ignorance, some of them craftily, assume that the move ment is theirs and that ii is a new movement. If these MOOsrrs had shown in the past tenth of the interest they show now these reforms would have been secured years ago.
 But it is not merely that the bull Moosers are freshly awaken cd to old needs and old efforts at remedy: they are as yet in one es- sential regard reactionaries, and of a peculiar cruel sort:
 Having been Republicans, most of them, they are proter- tionists. They hay" been hrne- iiciaries of Inc tariff SD much as Republicans that they tlav" Il" conception of he justice and possibilities of unfrtIrr"d trade. nor do they see that it is as im- moral and as unecOnomlc to rX- pInit he public for the benefit of the Wage-rarn"rS of a few indus tries as for the benefit of capi- ital."
 This "drfrrl rffortiN" in the political conscience of the follow CTS of Mr.. Roosevelt is largely due to Inc influence of that gen tlcman. His zeal for the abolI- iion of privileg" and the advent of social justice never. after he secured power. embraced anlmns- ity to the OdiOuS privilege OF the gross injustice ingrained in the protective tariff. This was the mord discrrditabIe because in his earlier years he had seen and de- nOuncrd those evils and had en- listed in the battle with them. When he became president he had no trouble in persuading himself that his re-rlertlon would he of greater value tO his cOun- try than the removal of the bur dens of protection. And even in the late campaiin he ranged his fOllowers-musily old Republicans --squareIy on the side of the ''principlc" of protection. But we are confident that in the long run he cannot hold them there. The flat contradiction of the tariff to all the ideas he sincere Pro- grcssives believe in is too absurd

STORM GRIPS
 MIDDLE WEST
special Nugget Service.

CHICAGO Nov. 12.-Farther details of the great blizzard which has grip ped the entire great lakes country continue to show that this is the worst storm in years.
 In Chicago already forty deaths are reported as a direct result of the storm and the tying up of all rail roads has caused a shortage of food supplies here and in other mid-wester.l cities which if not relieved soon will bring on a serious condition of famine Hundreds of miles of railroad are out of commission and the shores of the lakes are strewn with wreckage for miles. Thirty inches of snow fell in Iowa. Illinois Indiana and Northern Ohio and many towns are entirely cut off from communication as telegraph and telephone wires are down in all directions. Up to an early hour this morning no communication could be had with Cleveland and it is feared that great damage must have been done there by the storm. Fears are felt for a number of lake steamers and other craft which have not been re- ported as the beach is strewn with wreckage.

WILSON ENVOY
 SEEKS CARRANzA

tactics that Huerta is now so success fully employing
 It is expected that Special Envoy Hale will attempt to get some very dennate assurances from Carranza be- fore he advises the shipment of thou sands of modern rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition into the al- ready war ridden country for any break between CarranZa and the Uni Carranza and Huerta after the arms are received would make matters a good deal more serious for the United States than they are at present.

 MORALES. Sonora. Mexico, Nov. l2. William Bayard Hale, who arrived her this morning direct from Washing ton, went immediately to the head. quarters of General Carranza. It is supposed that Hale brings some com munication to the rebel leader from President Wilson.
 It was evident that the envoy from Washington Was expected at the Car ranza headquarters for upon hIs ar rival he was given a guard of honor and other courtesies extended to for eign diplomats. Mir. Hale refused U discuss the object of his mission with the newspaper men but it is known that the Washington administration is seeking assurances from Carranza as to his policy if given arms by the United states with which to fight the constituti0nalist cause and win the SONN Alplil
 Carranza has maintained for month, that if the embargo on the importa- ton of arms and ammunition for the use of his army was raised by the United states that he could within short time drive the federal soldiers from the field and he has stated that in three months he can enter Mexico City and guarantee the peace of the country. ~@Aa
 His only lack at the present time is arms. He has a large following among the better class of MeXicans as well as among the peons and it is felt ia some quarters that the easiest way for the United States to get out of its present dilemma with Huerta is to give CarranZa what he wants in the way of munitions of war and let him do the fighting This certainly would be the cheapest arrangement that the United States could make and the only drawback to it is that once having filled Mexico with modern rifles and ammunition there would be just that much more trouble for the American troops in case Carranza should turn out to be the same sort of a bird as all the rest of the men who held power in Mexico. He might use the United dency and then for the sage of some popular plaudits or to please his van ity or All his treasury adopt the same

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.--It was an- nounccd here today that the confer cnce between President Wilson's rep resentativc Hale and General CarranZa was the first move by the government showing an open interest in the con stitutionalist movement in Mexco and that if the administration can be con Nnced of the sincerity of the purpose of the leaders of the party that is now opposing Huerto and which it is said has the confidence and support of a majority of the Mexican people it is more than likely that the moral support of the United States at least will be lent to the so- called revolu- tionists
 What this means to the men fight ing for the overthrow of Huerta can be seen when. if the Washington ad- ministration as is rumored. goes a step beyond the ordinary line of moral sup port and allows the rebel commander to purchase arm and munitions of war in this country and ship them across the border.
 If Carranza. as he claims, can take Mexico City and pacify the country as soon as he gets the arms peace may be restored in the republic.
