sULU'S SPORTY SULTAN.
Those of the American
Army Omcers.

After three years of service as q sur
geon of the United States army In the
Philippines, Dr. E. R. Tenney. Of Kan
sas City, Kan, has returned to his home
in that city, reports the Star.
The sultan of Sulu, as described by
DR.. Tenney, is hardly the sort Of
potentate pictured in comic opera. He
is a very ordinary individual. who
lives in very ordinary way and does
about as all the rest of the Sulus do.
1.-THE Sultan of Sulu assumes control
over all the Moros," DR.. Tenney said,
but in reality he has no control over
any but those who choose to follow him.
1 met the sultan on several occasions
and was treated very cordially by him.
He Is not a man of great strength of
character or intelligence, but possesses
craft and cunning. The greatest man in
the sultan's domain is Hail Butu, the
prime minister.
81 visited the sultan in his home at
Miabon, directly across the island Of
Sulu from the town of Iolo. 1t is very
ordinary house-nothing like a great
palace-and only little better than the
average native home. He has four legal
wives and fine string of ponies.
His chief sport is to bring down po-
mics and race them against the army Off
GERS ponies, with such side attractions
as spear dances, accompanied by gongs,
tomtoms and native drums. These are
the musical instruments of the Sulus,
for the Sulus are not a musical people
like the Filipinos.
"The sultan sometimes wears Euro
pean clothes, and while he entertains
his guests very nicely after his own
fashion, he seldom gives a feast. The
datos, or feudal lords. however, some
times prepare feasts for their guests Of
sugars, fried bananas, rice cakes, heavy
and fried in cocoanut oil, with nstive
chocolate as beverage. The Sulus are
Mohammedans, and they have no intox-
icating beverages. They chew the betel
nut, which blackens the teeth and takes
the place of tobacco and an important
part of the sulu's outfit is a betel nut
box borne by slave. The women are
permitted to chew the betel nut after
they are married, and they marry at from
IA to Is years of age.

THE CARRYING OF ARMS.
Privilege Will Be Granted in the Phil
ippines Under Certain
Conditions.

Civilians in the Philippines have the
privilege of carrying arms under certain
conditions, says the Washington Star.
Under law enacted by the Philippine
commission, the civil governor, the
chief of constabulary, the governors OF
the provinces and the inspectors OF
constabulary may authorize, in writing
"any resident of the province to pur-
chase or receive gun or revolver, or
both, when satisfied that the person so
purchasing, receiving and having Gus
tody of the gun or revolver needs it for
his reasonable protection or will use it
for hunting or other lawful purposes
only" 1t is provided, further, that ANY
person not connected with the army or
navy of the United States, or otherwise
authorized by law, having in his Gus
tody a gun or revolver or other firearm,
or ammunition for the same, who shall
not have the license under this section
provided, shall be punished by fine not
exceeding $1,000 and Imprisonment not
exceeding one year and one day"
In order to prevent unauthorized pos
session of firearms by civilian employees
of the army under color of the authority
derived from the act in question, the
commanding general of the division OF
the. Philippines has issued general Or
der on the subject, in which he says
that commanding officers OF stations
will issue permits for definite pe-iocs
to such teamsters or 9th = civilian en-
pIoyes to whom sucS afrls are absolute

CHAPTER III.
OFF FOR THE HOP-FIELDs.

OFF FOR THE HOP-FIELDS.
"You see it's like this" Joe Be
craft was saying as the three
trudged slowly in the blazing sun
across the meadow towards the city.
"The mill where I've been workin'
these six years, an where Jim's just
startin' in, has shut down month
for repairs, so we're gettin' holiday.
Ma always goes pickin' hops, an
Mame-she's my sister-but Jim an
me, we amt so lucky every year"
.You like it, then?' inquired Ros-
sitter.
you'd better believe 1 do. Sod
you if you were shut up in mill all
the rest of the time"
Haven't you n good position?"
"Oh, yes, I'm not kickin'. I'm
under-overseer in the cardin'-room.
I'll get to be overseer, perhaps, one
of these days, an then" He broke
off. There was happy look in his
eyes and he gave little laugh, while
Jim chucllled audibly.
"What are you snickerin' at, you
Soung jay?" cried his brother, MAX
ing a pretense of being provoked,
and vainly trying to cuff the offender
The more Rossiter talked with the
elder Becraft the more did he grow to
respect, if not to admire, him, he
was so wholly natural, so independ-
ent, so self-poised, and yet so en-
tirely without conceit. He was I'M
ellneated, save in a rudimentary way,
having been the mainstay of the fam
lily for eight years, yet he kept him
self Informed on the topics of the
day, and had his opinions on public
affairs, which were more free from
Sias than the views held by most of
those in his station in life. Crude
he was, but earnest, frank and warm
hearted, and Rossiter was shamed
when he contrasted his own weak
ness and lack of purpose with this
young fellows unassuming strength.
AS the three reached the square
beyond the railway tracks, Rossiter
noticed that Joe Becraft was begin
ming to lag and show signs of ex-
haustion.
you'd better have a drink of
whisky to brace you up.' he said.
"a milk-shake will do the BUSH
ness" Becraft replied. Its too hot
for whisky. May be you'd like nip,
though" he added, with a peculiar
sidelong glance, which the vagrant
caught. 1t was as though the young
er man was surmising what the
elders habits might be.
"Oh, no. Rossiter said, not be-
straying the fact that he noticed Be-
raft's scrutiny. I'm not much on

most instances, but that umpires do not
enforce the rule.
Motions such as the bending of the
knee, the throwing forward of the body,
the swinging of the arms and all kinds
of business" declares the Plymouth
Rock player, ''are done with the evident
purpose of deceiving base runners. They
certainly cont help the pitcher to get
any more speed on the ball or better
curves. There is no doubt on earth that
base running is hurt by the practices.
The runner who gets on first doesn't dare
take lead if he knows the pitcher has
a good balk motion-for badk is what
the motion is. There has been a lot Of
comment regarding the apparent falling
off in base stealing this season. The
reason is apparent. Runners don't dare
take long enough lead for fear of being
taught on false motion by the pitcher.
I believe that pitchers should be made
to deliver the ball to the batsman after
he takes his position without all these
motions"

LOVING WORDS.
KANSAS
KINsLEY,

Loving words will cost but little,
Journeying up the hill of life;
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger, Drawer for the strife
Do you count them only trifes?
What to earth are sun and rain?
Never was a kind word wasted,
Never one was said in vain.
l.:
When the cares of life are many,
And it's burdens heavy grow,
Think of weak ones close beside you
If you love them, tell them so.
What you count of little value
Has an almost magic power,
Ind beneath their cheering sunshine
Hearts will blossom like flower.
SO. as up life's hill we Journey,
Let US scatter all the way
Kindly words, for they are sunshine
In the dark and cloudy day.
Grudge no loving word or action
AS along through life you go;
There are weary ones around you
II you love them, tell them SO.

He ended with an expressive shrug
of his shoulders.
They continued to look at the
steam-packet for several minutes
longer, and then resumed their walk
towards the Cottage hotel.

for the narrower thoroughfare
where the hotel they sought was
situated Like as not she'd have a

''Bet she would" replied Jim.
"She's pretty nervous about my
health sometimes" Joe explained.
"You see, father died O. consump-
ton"
'Why should you say anything to
her about it?" inquired Rossiter.
Certainly, so far as 1 am aware,
there's not the slightest reason for
your doing So"
"Oh, but want her to know some
day what you did for me. I'll tell
her about it up in the hop-yard. She
won't take on so there. l mean, she
won't give it to me quite so strong
about bein' careless, an all that"
"Have it as you WILL" said Rossi-

if you made no mention of it what

Joe, "as a friend who's done me q

Soon others began to arrive at the
hotel, and by half-past one as many
as 25 people-men, women, boys
and girls-had gathered on or
about the piazza. A few were
and her daughter and there was
a slight interchange of talk. A
subdued air of expectancy, however,
pervaded the company, and the eyes
of many, of the male portion more
particularly, were constantly turned
in the direction of Keneseo street.
Just before two there was a cry of
Here he comes!" followed by a gen.
eral movement towards the railing on
the part of those upon the veranda.
Over the heads of two boys who had
crowded in front of him Rossiter be-
held long wagon with seats run
ming longitudinally, drawn by two
powerful horses, moving leisurely to-
wards the hotel. The driver, perched
| upon seat considerably higher than
the body of the wagon, swayed from
one side to another as the clumsy
vehicle ratified over the cobble-stone
pavement, the smooth asphalt having

The individual in question, an en-

Those who had belongings FASTENED
to load them into the wagon; then
there was a good-naturcd scramble
for seats. Rossiter assisted Joe with
the two satchels and large basket con-
tanning the possessions Of the Be
craft family, and then found him
self seated between the two brothers,
with Mrs. Becraft and her daughter
opposite.
"All right there?" inquired Jack
Parmelee, surveying the load from
his superior height with glow of
satisfaction.

said, displaying his bundle, that

MA amt over particular" said Joe,
but as Rossiter insisted, they turned
up at the side of the hotel and sought
the stables, where the vagrant made
the desired alteration. He could but
smile to himself as he was affecting
this, the experience was so novel to
him. 1t was many a long day since
he had given much heed to what any
one thought of him.
The hotel stood upon a corner, and
on two sides of it there was a wide
veranda, at one end of which mother
and daughter were sitting. The girl
was a plain, shy miss of II, while
the mother proved to be woman of
ample proportions, with a worn but
kindly face which showed that her
path through life had not been among
the roses. Her manner towards
Rossiter was at first marked by a
decided reserve, but when her son ex-
planned that he was indebted to ''the
gentleman" for a very particular
favor, she thawed perceptibly, and
later, when Rossiter contrived to
compliment Joe while the latter was
not listening, she quite beamed upon
him, and thereafter the newcomer
was fully established in her good
graces. Though her experience in
the world had been limited, like her
elder son she was a person of obser-
yation, and treated Rossiter with
something akin to Difference, detect
ing in him a superiority of breeding
1t was not long before the clock
in the city hall not far distant pro-
claimed the hour of noon, a fact that
was reiterated by sundry whistles of
different tones in various parts of the
city.
You might as well be gettin' the
lunch out, Mamie" said Mrs. Becraft
to her daughter. Il presume the boys
are ready for it, we had such an early
breakfast"
Rossiter now rose, remarking that
he would join them later.
NO, you DON'T" announced Joe Be-
craft. You amt goin' to run off like
that. We've got enough for ourselves
an two or three more. Besides, you'll
offend Ma if you skip out when they's
any eatin' goin' on. She'll take it as
a slight to her cookin'"
There was a general laugh at this,
and as Mrs. Becraft assured Rossiter
that her son knew her failings, he
was without much difficulty persuad-
ed to resume his seat. Mamie Becraft
soon emerged from the hotel parlor
(thus designated by little strip of
painted tin fastened above the door,
bearing capacious basket, which
was found to contain an abundance
of bread and butter, doughnuts, and
cookies. Joe darted across the way
and purchased a bag of peaches from
a fruit vender, and then the al fresco
feast proceeded with much gusto.

smiling at Jim, who was rapidly max

The tour Of the Philadelphia cricketers
in England and Scotland which finished
recently reflects much credit on the play
ers and on the game in Philadelphia.
From a comparatively small number Of
players a team has been found capable
of giving most of the first class counties,
of England a hard battle and of defeat
ing several of them. Even the English
men are loud in their praises of the
proves of the visitors, and some of the
players are counted good enough to make
a place on any team in England. The
tourists won more than half their
matches and several were drawn.
Cricket, in spite of the fun polzed at It
On this side of the water, is essentially a
game of skill and science and takes a
number Of years to master. With their
limited opportunities the Philadelphia
players have certainly made a grand
showing, and it is within the bounds of
reason that within a fek years England
may have reason to produce its best
eleven to take the measure Of the United
States team.
