feigned ignorance of violating any
agreement with this government and
nothing was done to him other than
and admonish him to be careful not to
again offend the authorities.
AS q matter of fact, slavery still
exists and probably will continue de-
spite all efforts Of the: government to
check the evil. A datto is supreme in
his own territory. He practically holds
the lives Of his subjects in his hands.
When he is offended against another
datto, the matter becomes a common
grievance and when the, chieftain calls
his followers, work is suspended and
the datto leads his men against his
offending neighbor.
Before the arrival Of the American
troops in the Sulu archipelago, raids
between Moro tribes for the possession
of their women were Of frequent oc-
currence and none was SO aggressive as
Datto Ali, the treacherous chieftain,
who many believe is responsible for the
recent warfare between certain Moro
tribes and the United States troops in
Jolo. Datto Ali met with a we'll
deserved death and since then his de-
ceit has been laid bare. Posing as a
friend of the Americans, he was in fact
their worst enemy. He displayed in a
remarkable degree the cunning and
Itreachery commonly attributed to the
orientals and which is found in strong
evidence among the FIlipinos..''
| A datto is monarch of his own ter
rftoEy, but he is a subject of the Sultan
of Sulu. This is the title given Mr.
Bryan, who now finds himself sort
Of a prince without an inheritance, a
ruler without a domain. He can find
consolation, however, in the fact that
he is far removed from the common
/ Moro. He now stands on equality
with the princes Of Sulu. He may also

BONI "UP AGAINST IT,"

Count Boni DeCastallane, the
two-legged ape, who for the last
eleven years has been cutting
capers among the high.fliers Of
France with his wife's American
dollars, has at last lost his "meal
ticket" and the world, at least
the American world, is rejoicing.
By the terms of the divorce
granted the former Anna Gould,
her titled ex-husband gets not a
cent for alimony, and unless the
countess should open her heart
and of her own free will give him
something, it looks very much as
though the erstwhile gentleman
of leisure would have to exert
himself IN some way to keep the
wolf from the door.
There dou btless will be various
avenues of escape from starva-
ton opened to the titled spend
thrift. It is not at all improbable
that some enterprising yellow
magazine or newspaper will
have one of it's young men write
up an account of how it all hap
pened and then pay the count
literally for signing his name to
the article. OF course this would
bring only temporary relief, but
there are other games that might
be worked, with which the count
is doubtless familiar.
AS a last resort, Boni might
even 20 to work; but this is too
horrible to dwell upon.
