The Sultan
OF Sulu
ooooooooOOoOOOOoooo

LIE you are contemplating ,hr mr.

- thousand dollars worth Of pearls

Sulu can save you some money Re is
coming to America shortly. and The
chief object of his visit is 10 dispose
Of as fine a collection of pearls as any
individual in the world owns In fact,
he values them ut 100000. and the
proceeds from their sale will be de-
voted to improving the condition of his
people.
The sultan Is going to cut consider;-
BILE of dash when he hits this coun-
try. for he is one of the most pie
turesque and interesting figures IL the
far east. Prior to the American occu-
pancy of his domains he was mighty
monarch. ruling with despotic powers
over thousands of his subjects. and he
and his ancestors made things pretty
warm for the Spaniards. In nearly
200 years of constant warfare the dons
did not succeed in conquerng them
and never received one cent in revenue
from them. The islands Of Sulu. or
JOlo, as they are sometimes called, lie
away down at the extreme southern
end of the Philippine archipelago ard
only six degrees north of the equator.
This sultanate. politically regarded as
an integral part of the Philippines,
came into the possession of the United
States as the result Of the Spanish
American war.
The inhabitants are called MOros
and must not be confused with the
