tremendously introduced by the Sui

to pay Difference to the first wife only.

During the past winter the Moros of the
island have been in instruction, and
the foreign women carried arms when
ever they left their houses. When little
Dorsey went for his daily walk, he was
accompanied by his nurse and soldier,
and the women and children who VEN
tured outside the city wall, had to go
under a guard of six soldiers.
Mrs. Cullen brought with her some
vicious looking implements of war
made and used by the savage tribes.
They were picked up on some old bat
tlefields, and still have on them the
dried blood of the victims One of the
blades that they throw at the head of
their enemy, is carried in a hand
carved leather case. The covering is
thrown with the knife, giving it weight
SO that it hits with greater force, flying
from the blade before it strikes. The
kris, a long, curved iron sword is an
other of the old weapons found in the
island welded by the hands of brown
savage men long dead, whose swords
are rust, whose bones are DUST
The army people in the possessions,
somewhat, entertain constantly. A
bridge party at the post every morn
ing, luncheons and dinners every day
and evening of the week, is the usual
program. At Christmas time last
winter, Mrs. Cullen gave a dinner for
General Percy, but the men of the
party were off to battle, and the wo-
men dined alone, just as if the men
were off on a hunting trip, and that
is the order of events that they be-
! a
English people visit the group, as 1t
is close to some British colonies in
the western waters. Among the
aristocracy that have dined with the
Cullens and other army people of the
regiment were the Duke and Duchess
of Manchester and Lady Wilson, and
Mr.. and Mrs. John Lloyd of the
Lloyds of London, people.
Before returning to the States. the
Cullens took a trip to Japan, China
and Australia 1t was but a short
sail from their fort to Borneo, where
great many English people have
magnificent homes and the traditional
wild man" is now only a remnant
of tribe of the dyaks, whose head
hunting and cannibalism are fast be-
coming memories of golden past TO
be handed down to some future
Homer of the race whose story will
be a classic in the civilizations of
centuries yet to be.
To complete his foreign service,
capt. Cullen Will later be sent to Hon
olulu or Panama, but he expects to be
with his present regiment the next
four years.
A good many of the people who
have stayed in Topeka during the
warm weather have taken short trips
to nearby summering places. Auto
mobile parties have frequently spent
the weekend at Merrill Springs, as
the road to the place is especially
good. Among those who have taken
short trips to the Springs are: Mrs
A A. Rogers and her sister, Mrs. An
drews, Miss Marjorie Rodgers and
Miss Marguerite Parkinson; Mrs
Jennie Veale and her family, the A.
A. GODDARD family, Judge and Mrs w
