THE SULU ARMS MARKET

Every male Moro big enough to walk
carries a knife Of some sort. Usually
II is u barong, sometimes kris. Ba-
rongs are shaped like the blades Of
the old fashioned rocker skates and are
big and little. For business they are Il
foot and half long and very heavy,
with a razor edge. A kris may be
wavy all the foot or two Of blade or
only at either end. Some of them are
very finely worked, inlaid with silver
in fantastic designs and with carved
ivory or wood handles. In the market
of Jolo these arms are worth whatever
the Moro thinks the buyer will pay
One fine kris was offered to me for -,
30. II. Is and 20 Mexican dollars. 1t
had been offered repeatedly to one of
the officers for $40, but that was before
our steamer came along. Prices al
ways go leaping skyward on steamer
days, but that does not argue that the
people are of Japanese descent. The
half dozen Punjabi guards Of the sui
tan are armed with rifles more or less
ancient, and some of the followers OF
the two datOs also carry such weap-
ons. There are perhaps 100 guns in the
island, and each one is worth twice Its
weight in silver. If knife has killed
a man, its value is greatly increased.

The rreacherous Purses.

Initial purses that were carried by
five women caused a lot Of fun in a
Walnut street car the other day. AT
Twelfth street three women entered,
and when they became seated 1t was
noticed that their purses contained the
initials 2, NJ and Z In the order given.
At the next square two more women
entered, and both carried similar
purses, the letter on one being t
and that on the other Y. When tne
new passengers sat down alongside
the other three women, the initials on
the five purses, as they were held in a
row, formed the word EMPTY. The
smiles Of passengers who sat on the
opposite side of the car as they looked
at the quintet Of women caused the lat
ter some embarrassment until one OF
them, noticing the combination Of let
tiers on the purses, laughingly inform
ed the others. After all had laughed
and turned the Initials to the wall the
conductor approached seeking fares.
Every one Of the five women offered a
note In payment Of her fare, probably
lust to show that the purses were not
empty. The conductor could change
only two Of the notes, however, but
then the women had proved that the
letters were not to be believed.-Phila-

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
How Riley Got His Start - Kaiser
WIIheIm's GrnciOusness-"Sol-
der of the Cross"

James Whltcomb Riley's success be-
gan with what he considered a terrible
misfortune. He tells his friends that
tie day on which lie was discharged
from the staff of the indianapolis Jour
nal was one of the darkest of his life
The future seemed to hold nothing for
him. relates the Chicago Times'Herald.
II happened, however, that a state
political convention was held In Indian
apolls at about that time, and among
the nominees was a very pOrtly gentle
man who had never made a public
speech. The convention called for him
after he had been nominated, and when
he appeared upon the platform a
speech was demanded. He cleared his
throat stood on one foot and then the
other and said:
"Gentlemen Of the convention. l
thank you for the honor you have CIV
On me. can't make speech, but |
can tell you one thing. The ticket
you've nominated here today is a-goin
TO win when the frost Is on the pun
kin and the corn Is In the shock '"
The uproar which followed Indicated
that Rlley's poem, first published only
a few days before, had been read by
everybody present and that It had
touched tender spot.
This circumstance more than any
thing else induced the business mana
ger Of The Journal, who was Rlley's
steadfast friend, to undertake in part
nership with the poet to have a little
book. "The Old Swlmmln Hole and
'Leven More Poems" published. 1t
made an immediate hit and gave Riley
n national reputation.

nsoIdler Of the Cross.D

Representative Adolph Meyer Of Lou
islana bears the name In his home city
of New Orleans OF the Soldier of the
cross" That is what many Of the poll
tlcIans and voters, with whom he Is
very popular, call him to this day.
1t came about in this way: Some
years ago, when a congressional con-
yention was held in that city, Mr.. John
Fitzgerald was nominated by the Dem
ocrats with a whocp and hurrah. But
Mr.. Fitzgerald did not want to become
member Of congress and the next
day told his admiring fellow citizens so
In appreciative language. Therefore a
second convention was called, and Mr..
Fitzgerald withdrew and insisted that
General Meyer should be nominated In
his stead. The nomination was prompt
Iy made, and committee was named
to escort General Meyer to the hall.
"Fellow citizens" he began, when
the applause for him had subsidized, mo
soldier Of the cross ever followed the
banner Of Peter the Hermit more en-
Enthusiastically than / would have fol
lowed the banner Of Mr.. John Fitzger-
aid In this campaign"
The phrase was taken up by the vot-
ers IS a good one, and General Meyer
was elected by large majority.

Inspection by Tapping.

Among the most incomprehensible
proceedings to be observed within the
vast area of Woolwich reserve depot
are the doings of small party Of Off
Gals, one Of whom appears to do moth
ing all day long but sit at table and
tap on the top of tin canisters with a
couple Of bits of stick something after
the manner of a child beating on the
upturned end of his drum. The tins
are passed before him about as fast as
he can tap them, and absolutely moth
ing seems to come of the game. To the
unenligbtened onlooker it is quite unin-
telllgiple. The tins contain meat and
before they are passed into the store 1t
10, of course, important to examine the
condition of what is inclosed, and this
In fact is the way it is done. The train
ed ear Of the expert examiner can tell
whether the meat is in a wholesome or
q putrid condition by the sound emitted
when raped with the stick. The test
Is said to be practically infallible.-

They Jump OF backward.

There are more senseless people In
Brooklyn than IN Manhattan, and you
will find them on the cars IL nowhere
else" said an official Of the Rapid
Transit road. 'These people can be de-
tected very easily-every conductor
knows them. The people / refer to are
those who jump Off car backward"
In order TO check this growing evil
tendency the Rapid Transit road has
placed an illustrated placard In the
cars Of the company. The illustration
shows the right and the wrong way
to jump Off a car, and between the pic
lures is a caution to always jump face
forward.
"This caution is not necessary in
Manhattan, because the people who
ride on cars there are educated In the
practice Of jumping off cars. They also
grasp things more readily, 1t seems to
me-" said this same oficial.-New York
