It's fun! I heinK a .Mexican ruhel, when things J ! ko right and, if you look at things' ; in a certain way. For instance there's the city of Durango, which! nan been the playground of rebels j for eight months. Suppo.se all your! , life you had lived in a done house,! j with only thQ earth for a floor and a I pile of Htraw for your bed and had: j always taken off your hat to rich! j folkH and were afraid of them and! ; iii.-ii Hiiey ami paiaees; and suppose ! you suddenly found yourself in po I session of a large city, with all tho mansions at your disposal, and all tli(f contents of the mansions, too. What would you do? Couldn't you get a lot of fun out of it ail Tho rebels are having plenty of fun in Durango as their kind of run goes. The hall that Calizto Con. treras gave in the governor's palace for Durango was the capital of a Mexican state was a ripping affair.' It wasn't u fancy dress ball, either, Init if more grotesque costumes ever were shown at a ball in all Christen-i doui, the ingenuity of the society! women who devised them was great-; er than the ignorance of styles and1 taste which the women companions! of the rebels displayed ut this aston-j Ishlng affair. j One woman wor an ecclesiastical: robe which, for decade3 had covered1 the Htatiio of the Virgin del Car-i men on tho altar of the great cathod-j ml. If was as if the statue had come' to life, only the fact. of the statuej was white and the fare of the woman who wor0 the robe at tb.; ball was very brown like a -Mexcan: Indian's. Other very brown women, who had gone barefooted most of their lives, were still barefooted at the hall, for all the Krench shoes they had foil ml in the abandoned homes of the rirh they discovered to be very painful to wear. Hut their bare feet j danced in and out under the Ileitis of splendid French gowns, which had been part of the Durango loot, and; their heads were coxered with chic little French bonnets, (lf very late mode, which the rich dames of Dur anuo had not been aide to carry away with them, when the rebels en tered th( town. Most of the gowns didn't meet in the tiack it is true, for soldier sweet hearts in Mexico don't wear corsets, but everybody seemed greatly pleased with the ef fects und a good time, was had by all. especially when in a spirit of pleasantry, the guests, with the en couragement of the host began pull-J ing down the tapestries and curtains of th0 palace. j Every rebel leader in Durango lives in an abandoned mansion; they' drew lots for thorn, after the great chiefs had taken their pick. Pianos j are the source of greatest pleasure and a self-playing piano that belong-; ed to the Widow Darburu Martinez; del ftio( whose mansion, was seized by a chief who permitted her to oc-; cupy one room of the place, is gen-j orally considered the finest piece of! loot in Durango. j But, even if your piano doesn't play itself, you can play it, as best you; can. Passionately fond of music, as! all Mexicans are, the rebels in Dur-i ango give the highest social recogni-! tion to three rebel officers who are able to play a few dance tunes. And,! by patient practicing some of the reb-j els who didn't know how to play aj piano before the revolution, are learn ing how to pick out tunes, hike a' true leader, however, Calixto Con- j treras, chief of the entire band, has! sot about really to learn how to play. Among the prisoners he took when lie seized the town was a brother of f Iticardo Castro, one of Mexico's j greatest pianists. I'll keep you out of jail if you'll promise not to run away and to come to my headquarters, whenever I send for,v(uit and give nie a tnii3ic lesson," said Contreras, after summoning Cns-i tro before him. Castro made a bar-! gain of it and, nt last reports, Con treras, who Is a young man, was pro. gressing rapidly. "I've always wanted to play a pi-' ;ino, ever since I was a little much-; acbo," he exclaimed to a friend, "butj I never had u chance. Now I've got j my opportunity and I'd be a fool not to take advantage of it. Castro says I'm getting along splendidly." The teacher and his pupil have become j great friends and during his lesson: hour and practice times no ono daresj interrupt Contreras with affairs of' government. A few of the rich folkH, of Durango didn't run awny during 1 tho Invasion. These persons have had some alarming experiences. Theyj are Idle rich no longer; they keep busy dodging rebels on the streets. After the rebels got control of the town they fell into the custom of pestering, with hoot and stones, ev ery "rich" person who walked downj tho street in collars and ciil'fs. "Cur J ros," they yelled, moaning "dudes".) Now, if you see a poorly dressed per-j son walking along the streets of Du- rasgi, you may be almost certain thati bo is one of the i''11 ni,,tl f tlloj town. In the street cars, the rich; men ride In th second class cars, and the rebels in the first class; tho rich ride alone, just nH they did be- fore the revolution, and the Mreet car company takes greater care in I cleaning the second class cars than; It does the first ciass ones. j The rebels hav-. moved scores of, pianos an vast cjuaiitities of house furnishing statues paintings and other loot to the nearby town of i Cuencame, where Contreras home is! situated. It was against the churches that the rebels showed the greatest! DRESSES! DRESSES!! Who'se Got THE Dresses? The Leader Of Course .

They ransacked these and pil laged the altars. But this wasn't a sign, evidently, that they didn't be lieve in religon, for the rbels keep the sacristans busy ringing the bells for the saint'a day of some little chief or to proclaim the news of some rebel victory. It's some fun, being a rebolution ist, when things go right. ; KLAIX MAX PI liM APS m:i,i,i(;n am it.win r Young Outlaw With Scars of Shots Is Killed in South Dakota. LKMMON, S. D., April 14.
