One white man who does not under
stand the natives and who has no
consideration for them may start
trouble that will end in an UPRISING
The trouble generally comes from a
lack Of regard for the natives feel
ing for his women. Though the Ma
lays live fairly loose life. they re-
sent having white man take their
women and they generally vent their
displeaSure in murder. That, Of
course, means a government inveSti-
cation, with ill-feeling rising on both
sides. To the Dutch resident I ex-
planned my purpose in wishing to live
in the Malay quarter with the hadji.
and he gave me permission, warning
me that it would be revoked at the
least sign Of trouble.
Thereupon. with the hadji leading.
I took my belongings to his house and
settled down to become acquainted
with the people. They regarded me
curiously but. when the hadji intro
var bye. Dare be-tole (This man is
very good. He is true)." they accept
ed me without question. The word of
a man who has made a pilgrimage to
Mecca is not to be doubted and my
dispute with Mahommed Ariff was
told and retold until it became a won
derfully exaggerated legend with me
as the hero. They disliked Ariff be-
cause he was forever swindling them
when they captured animals.

sidered the idea, the more it appealed
to me- / was becoming tired of cir
Gus life. especially since my work did
not bring me into contact with the
animals. On my return to New York
I found GAYLORD and told him about
my plans. He encouraged me and in
troduced me to many men l was glad
to know, such as Donald Burns. who
was a dealer and had store in
Roosevelt street.
At Donald Burns place 1 talked my
venture over with many showmen.
They were all interested and wished
to encourage me, but they were
frankly doubtful Of my success be-
cause they knew Of old Mahommed

T was not elated at that prospect. for
Burns did not attend very strictly to
business. 1t was well-known story
in the circus world that he had neg
lected the opportunity Of handling the
country. A sea captain had offered
to sell it to him for $4,000, but Burns
refused to take it-he simply wasn't
interested. A few days later it was
sold to Barnum for $4,000. =
Strangely enough. it was Burns
easy-going way Of managing his af-
fairs that gave me my opportunity of
going to Singapore. I had been in
New York. making my plans and saw
ing my money. but l didn't feel that
I had enough to start out on the ven-
ture. One day 1 was in Burns store
when he was away, and a sailor came
in. hiding two monkeys under his coat.
He had Smuggled them into the coun-
try and wanted to sell them. The
monkeys were black with coal dust,
but one of them. I noticed. had pink
eyes. That fact interested me and
bargained for them. buying the pair
for SIS. When the sailor left, found
a cake of soap and gave them bath.
The monkey with the pink eyes turn
ed out to be pure white. Those were
the days when Jim Corbett was
great favorite. and he had recently
become known as "Pompadour jim"
My white monkey had a perfect POM
padour on his head. Soon one Of the
newspapers printed a story connect
ing Corbett and the monkey. A few
days later. l sold the monkey for 1880.
