He Is fond ~ Western methods and ne
would IL nc could. introduce t1c"1 th-
10 hiS empire. Ia has made some .t-
tempt - DO so. but ms pt"T.e OBJECT.
ana this Is one cause OF his unpopular
itV. he Is. Notwithstanding. an lndt-
pendent young man aud persists IA
counting the favor OF tbs foreigner

complains To me mat his majesty all
lows common merchants and other
tradcSmcn To come - the palace. ana
others tel me thai ne has spent mil
lions Of dollars on all sorts ~ foreign
n~icknacks whic some of his ChriS.
tian friends have begged him 10 buy.
Ills Gold Camera.
one OF his e-xtravagances is a cam
era of solid gold, which cost him $40
600. ~ the same time he bought
81, 600 WORTH OF printing ape anu
$4,000 worth Of other supplies lis
Photographic outht. in addition 70 the
camera. cost him all told S@3.ooo q
large part OF which went. - a matter
Of course. into the pockets Of those
who ordered 1t.
Another extravaganza is 4 bedStcaa
Of crystal mirrors with pendants like
a chandelier. | understand that he
sees three images OF himself whenever
he craWiS into bed. ana that the pen
dants jingle whcn he turns over.
The sultan has bicycles made Of
aluminium. and h delights IN playins
bicycle polo With his friends. lie
learns an sorts Of anne easily. ANA
can DO no end Of bicycle tricks. IL
Viii ride w q steep plank and down
again. ana IN his polo games he has
ruined several fine wheels by crashing
into the walls.
The sultan has 4 number Of automo-
biles, 4 London hanson anu i coach Of
state. There are no rolds in this
country. ana these things are prdctl-
cally useless. His gold coach. which
cost many thousands Of dollars. now
lies outside the palace ut the mercy Of
the weather.
In Debt on Millions Il Wear.
In the meantime The Sulttu's foreign
friends who haze ordered these things
for him are making fat fortunes. and
they are working the young man FOR
all hc is worth. Every foreign thing
he SubscribcS to. costs him tcI times
what it is worth ANA his ministers and
foreign friends absorb the Profits.
They are already rolling in l1NurN.
ana every ono about him steals both
from MIN ana his puopl"
/ am told that tho whole income Of
Morocco has gone into cx;raNa2dut cX-
pcnditurcS. The empire paws some
thing Ike FIVE million dollars Il Year
and is now several hundred thousand
dollars in debt.
ono of the here tells me
he thinks that the sultan has Stltcu
down "a pretty penny ri this for 4
rainy day. and another Courticr sass
that he is, strange - SAY. Amos mean
