Bringing WifeY Around.

81 have a very simple scheme for
wriggling out of trouble when my wife
catches me in fib," said a Perfect
Brute last evening to several congenial
companions. "On such OCCASIONS it Is
a great mistake for man to attempt
any explanation. The thing to do Is
merely to assume an air of injured in
nocence. That attitude will puzzle a
woman and shake her confidence in
your guilt. She will begin uncon-
sciously to cast about for some explain
alton, some theory, some clew to the
mystery, and when she finds one, no
matter how preposterous, she will be so
pleased by her own cleverness that 1t
is easy to persuade her to accept 1t
out of hand.
"You see, have reduced the thing to
science. To illustrate: | told my
wife not long ago that | would be de.
tanned over my books until past mid
night. After l left, some neighbors.
confound 'em, invited her to the the
atre. and during the last act she saw
me, of course, with some of the boys
in the parquet. When | got home
there was an explosion, l said nothing
l simply looked at her, sadly, wistfully,
ltDl lNOAl uuy lueTG was
another explosion. resumed my tao
tics. That evening she said: Look
here, Charlie, l want you to tell me
whether you really went to the theatre
to see Col. Hawkins. Then | remem-
bered suddenly that Hawkins was seat
ed at my left, and also that she knew
l had been trying to close a large sized
business deal with him.
"In the goodness of her heart the
dear girl had arrived at the conclusion
that | must have gone to the show to
clinch the contract. I smiled wanly.
4 would have thought, Mary, | re-
piled with great gentleness that some-
thing of the kind might have suggested
itself to you before. That was enough,
She wept copiously. | was not a
monster; | was martyr. Eventually
I forgave her upon her solemn prom
Ise never again to suspect me of an
untruth. So you see how it Is. If |
had tried to explain | would doubtless
have made mess of it and planted
lasting seeds of distrust. AS 1t turned
out the episode rebounds to my credit.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-08-14

as do not suffer DEATH Their most
ready customers for able-bOdied male
slaves for many years have been the
Dutch planters in the island Of Borneo
to the southwest.
More criminal even than this pirat-
ical slave gathering is the custom of
selling innocent children into bondage
generally practlced by the Mohamme-
dan Malays The parent who is in
need of money lends, or, rather, gives
his child as security for the, loan, and
the little one is condemned to labor
until the debt is paid which seldom,
if ever, occurs. Very few children
thus sold into slavery ever regain their
freedom.
Moro warriors try the edges of their
weapons by striking down their slaves,
according to Professor Worcester.
Moro slaves in Sulu represent all phases
of slavery practi'cd in ancient or mod
ern times-slaves by birth. slaves by
capture in war or by piracy, bonded
children and insolvent debtors.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-08-14
Slaves in the Philippines.

The attention of the authorities has
been called to the fact that slavery is
rampant in Sulu, Mindoro, Tawee Ia
wee and other of the Philippine Is
lands.
If you wish to become a STAKEHOLDER
you may go to one of the three islands
mentioned and purchase a half-grown
girl for SO. One was offered at that
rate to Prof Dean C. Worcester, Unit
ed States Commissioner. The usual
price for girls of Is years Is five bush
els of rice. Grown men and women
sell at prices proportionately greater.
The chief Philippine slave market
and port for their export now is Mai
bun, the old capital of Sulu. Harun
Narrasid, the Mohammedan Sultan of
Sulu, is the central factor of the slave
holding and slave-selling business of
the entire group. The Moros, who are
the Mohammedan Malay subjects of
this hitherto semi-otficial prince, con-
tinue, though upon a somewhat limited
scale, the practices of their ancestors,
the bloodthirsty Malay pirates who red
dened Philippine waters for several
centuries. No admiXture of blood
could be more favorable to slave hold
ing than that of Malay and Mohamme-
dan, according to Prof. Otis Mason, the
noted ethnOlOglst. Among their slaves
are found Malays captured from Su
matra, Papuans from New Guinea, ST.
amese, Javanese and Timorese. BY
collecting them within their dominion
the Sulu masters have aided greatly in
producing the peculiar mixture OF

ippines," the Courier des Etats-Unis is
publishing a series of letters which
were written in November, 1897, Civ
ing a detailed description of the island
at the time of the late insurrection
against Spanish rule. Not the least
interesting In the series is the follow
ing sketch from the notebook of the
traveller:
THE desire which the Filipinos have
always felt for a leader has brought
one to them In the person of Aguinaldo.
Fifty years ago the ambition of young
schoolmaster like him would not have
reached beyond the grade of captain
of banditti. Under the influence of
European ideas, which through the
Suez Canal have spread themselves all
over Asia, he aspires to he the founder
of a republic. | fear very much that
he will be disappointed. But 1t would
pain me to rail at this young chieftain
of 27 years, who, dazzled by the glory
of Washington and Bolivar, acquired
from their example sufficient force to
