FOUGHT OVER THE TROUSERS
African Natives Willing to Go to Any
Length for the Honor Of Wearing
Them.

IN Swaziland trousers make Q world
Of difference. Sibijaan. the intimate
boyhood companion of M. Owen r.
O'Neil, author Of Adventures in Swaxi-
land" instantly lost caste when his
white friend donned his nfst pair Of
corduroys. The circumstance hurt poor
Sibijaan, and he was quick to make
this proposal:
Klein Baas" (meaning "little boss'')
he said with pathetic earnestness, "you
have been wearing the trousers all
day. Don't you think 1t is my turn to
wear them? We are both indunas
(leaders) Of our impi; it is not right
that one should be better than the
other. Let me wear the trousers until
sundown and show our men that we
are brOthers-in-a arms!'
The proposal seemed reasonable to
me. Sibijaan and l had shared our
joys and woes for several years, and
there was no reason for my refusing
him the honor Of wearing the wonder
ful trousers. We changed; put on
his beads, and he got into my cordu-
roys, Then came perfect exhibition
Of the Kafir temperament. Sibijaan
became insufferably arrogant; he gave
orders to our impi. and for a moment
I thought he was going to try to com
mand me. The more he lorded 1t over
the others the more sullen and an
eered they became.
OF course the inevitable happened |;
there was fight between Sibljaan and
the other Kafirs for the possession Of
the corduroys. Death or wounds were
