BoERs' FAMILY BIBLES.
ooted .Heirlooms Which Are Being
 Ksturned by Request of Roberts.
From the London Express.

From the London Express.
 In response to Lord Roberts request, about forty Bibles taken from veldt homesteads during the late war have been returned to MT. W. H. Alexander, at the Bishopsgate rendezvous of the So- cety of Friends.
 The volumes have been carefully cata- logued, with all notes and marks which could give the slightest clue to the names and addresses of the owners, who are be- ing sought through the agency of Phil anthropc persons in South Africa.
 The Bibles are of all sizes and value, from cheap pocket editions to heavy folio volumes printed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
 Four or five of them are ma gnifcent books and must be of great value. Bound fin solid embossed leather with heavy brass clasps, and containing many maps and quaint steel engravings, they are fill ed with notes of the births, marriages, and deaths of the families to which they belong. Their real worth could only be estimated by the head of a family.
 Such a Bible was returned yesterday by Lord Chesham, who had evidently kept the book until he had a chance of restoring 1t to the rightful owner.
 On the fyleaf his lordship has written:
 This Bible was found on the Veldt at Mohensfontein Farm. Orange Free State, South Africa, on Sunday, April S. 1900, and rescued from a Kaffr by me, to be taken care of until claimed by the proper owner. who is now on commando some miles away"
 One of the smaller Bibles now in the possession of MT. Alexander has an in- scription which shows that it was a present from a young Boer to his sweet heart who had evidently given it back to her hero when he went forth to fight
 When showed the letter which appeared in yesterdays Times, in which a cores pondent suggests that the brotherliness which is manifest in this return of Boer Bibles should be shared by both sides. and should result in the recovery of his signet ring, pony, boots and undergar- ments, which were all footed, MT. Alex ander said he had one or two similar let ters.
 T hope to put this side of the matter before some of the leading Dutch minis ters in the two colonies before long" he added land to suggest to them that the return of personal treasures which may be in the hands of the Dutch, would also be kindly and Christian act"

SULTAN OF suLU A SPORT.
He Likes to Race His Ponies Against
 Those of Our Officers.

From the Kansas City Star
 After three years of service as a sur geon of the United States army in the Philippines. Dr. E. R. Penney of Kansas City, Kan, has returned to his home in this city.
 The Sultan of Suu, as described by Dr. Penney, Is hardly the sort of potentate pictured in comic opera He is very ordinary individual, who lives in a very ordinary way and does about as all the rest of the Sulus do.
 "The Sultan of sulu assumes control oyer all the Moros," pr. Penney 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 possessing craft and cunning. The greatest man in the sultan's domain is Haji Butu, the prime minister.
 q visited the sultan in his home at Miabon, directly across the Island of Sulu, from the town of Jolo. It is very ordinary house-nothing like great pal ace-and only a little better than the average native home. He has four legal WIVES anu i nut Stlih5 ph pNASSs
 His chief sport is to bring down his ponies and race them against the army officers ponies, with such side attrac- tions as spear dances, accompanied by gongs, tomtoms and native drums. These are the musical instruments of the Sulus for the Suus are not a musical people like the Filipinos.
 The sultan sometimes wears European clothes and while he entertains his guests very nicely after his own fashion, he seldom gives a feast The datos, or feudal lords. however. sometimes prepare feasts for their guests of sugars fried bananas. rice cakes heavy and fried in cocoanut oil. with native chocolate as a beverage. The Sulus are Mohammedans and they have no intoxicating beverages. They chew the betel nut. which blackens the teeth and takes the place of tobacco, and an important part of a 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 fourteen to eighteen years of age"

was to keep the pumpkin green and nice until the fair would open.
 When it came time to take the prizes down to the grounds Aus goes down to the bottom. digs the dirt away from the sides of that pumpkin, drives a hand spike into opposite ends of it. loops a rope over them and htches his four horses to it. If they hadn't been good hangers they'd never started the big thing out of it's bed. for 1t had sunk into the ground a couple of feet. All the inhabitants of Snake Hollow excep+'n' Dan Heckathorne who was sick in bed, and a number from the city were out to see the fun Rollln' and rumblin along like big bass drum Aus pulled the thing down to the fair grounds.
 Well. it was the biggest crowd ever see at the fair and the chief at traction was Aus Shankln's pumpkin. On the last day after the prizes had been awarded Aus took an ax and cut into it to satisfy the curiosity of the crowds who were wondern' how the big seeds might be. Sendin' in a couple of boys who handed them out. perfect and about six inches long. Aus presented each person with one.
 There's where he made a big mistake for them seeds were loaded with the in- toxicatin stuff that makes chickens run around in a ring when they eat pumpkin seeds.
 Them seeds were sweet as sugar and the boys and girls soon found it out and before long the crowds were chewn' at them seeds.
 "The more they ate of them the more they wanted. The young ones began cut tin up capers, playn' leap-frog and the like, and the men begins whoopin with all their might. The crowd was just like it was goin' mad They shoves Aus away from the pumpkin, digs out the seeds that were left, and fights like Indians for them. The truth of the matter was that the whole caboodie was drunk on pumpkin seeds. With the women screeehin' and sheddin tears and the men howlin' and breakin' up furniture and the youngsters fightin. them fair grounds looked as though cyclone had struck it in the evenin'.
 That was the last time either Aus Shanl1lin or Dan Heckathorne ever rais- ed pumpkins for the fair.

He pointed to a desk in the corner
that seemed to have been broken open.
There was blankbook that had
contained business memorandum, he
said, and 1t was locked up in that
desk. A friend Of mine was so anx-
iOus to see II that, calling in my abb

Neither am l." responded Blair
However, let's hear your question"
you remember" said Elmendorf,
seating himself and looking across the
table in the center of the room. his
arms resting upon 1t, that Miss Miller
was stabbed In a peculiar way. There
was a little mark, scar you might
call It, just below the collar bone on
the left side
The mark of what we call green
fracture" said Blair; that Is, the
stand she fell again a sharp point Of
something while she was ut play. The
rib at that spot was permanently weak

ward, but not enough to interfere with
the lung"

ElmendOrf.
Quite the contrary" replied Blair.

known what 1t was, eh?"
Probably not"

Certainly"
"A thief would have struck her on
the head"
Il should think likely"
so this was murder case" said
Elmendorf There was the intention
to kill. Now, why didn't the murderer
strike again."
He probably thought the wound
was fatal" responded Blair.
That's the queer part Of it, said
the detective. II wouldn't have
thought II was fatal. Most murderers
go on stabblng; they strike half a
dozen times in a sort Of frenzy. This
man was content with one blow, but
# was good one. and II the knife
blade hadn't been bent
Was II bent?" inquired Blair
Yes" was the reply. And II the
assassin was one who knew the loca-
ton Of the vital organs. but was at
the time too much excited to notice
the defect in the instrument, why,
then. that bend in the blade may have
saved her life."
III II Is saved" added Blair.
1T was certainly saved for a time, -
said the detective, though every doc
tor who saw the wound Immediately
pronounced II fatal. That's a point in
the case"
From which you conclude-what?"
said Blair rising and taking a seat at
the table opposite Elmendorf.
The detective did not Immediately
answer the question. He seemed to be
deep in thought.
