However unlitio thlM nmy seem, reference

of a Hlmlliir mi Hi ro. Kven after the
HluiiKhtnr of Waterloo two weddings came oft
In tlio llelil, one beliitf especially pathetic
In detail. A yomiK ofllcer In u well known

wheru thu conlllct had raged llercest. Ho

Thu inarrlaK'J was eulehrated at dayhreak
on thu morning after thu hattlu and wiih
conducted by thu priest who had a moment
beforo been rending muss over tlio hIiiIii.

In thin caHo a nhcll fell near tho happy

astonishing how few have proved unhappy.

hu started nt a profit. My brothers then
clubbed together and sont mo back to Sulu
to set out tho trees. Tho first thing I did
wns to lay out tho plantation. I cut down
tho Jungle nnd burned It nnd Inter on set
out tho plnntH In tho regular order you seo
them. Wo got tho seed from Hornco, choos
ing Mherlnn coffee, in order that It might
butter resist tho blight. Tho seeds wero

wero eight Inches high we set them out.

Kach plant wns grown In a tube or bamboo
nnd so transplanted without disturbing tho
roots. Arter a whort tlmo the bamboo tubes
rotted and tho roots camo through on all
sides. Wo sot tho sprouts out without shado
and they grow from the start. Wo had no
particular tlmo for planting, putting them
out from dny to dny throughout several
months.
"Our labor was made up of natives, somo
of whom wero slnvffl. At first I lived with
tho workmen, often sleeping with fifty of
them In tho Rama house. I uso such men
nnd women on tho cstnto today. They' are
Moros. I find they work vory well, although
I pny even my slaves for tholr labor, doing
so, an fnr na possible, by tho plcco. I havo
many women who ench cam from 2!i to 10
cents In silver n day, and men who do oven
better than this. I have mado it a point to
bo friends with the Moros. I employ any of
them who will work, nnd ?o far 1 havo hnd

but when tho Americans camo they so dls-

my work go. I have now a llttlo disease .

chiefly comes from tho foul condition of the
land."

Later on I went to Mr. Schuck's hnuso
nnd wntched the pulping of tho coffee or
tho getting tho' seeds out ot tho borrlcs. It
was a curious sight. Tho plantation house
Is n building covering perhaps naif an aero ,
with a heavy thatched roof. It Is high up
frcm tho ground upon posts, so thnt you
can enslly wolk under tho first floor without
touching It with your head. Upon tho
ground below tho house thero wero about
two dozen women nnd ten chlldron, tho most
ot thotn girls. Each woman hnd a basket
of coffee berries nnd n dirty pan or n wo,n
out keroseno can beforo her. They wero all
brown-skinned, all halt-naked and nil had
teeth is black as tho blackest of Ink. Some
of tho women woro wrinkled nnd thero was
hardly onu that was not disgusting. All
wero busy. They woro working their Jaws,
mnking n crunch, crunch, crunch as they
hit into tho berries nnd rolling their tongues
around tho seeds, chowrd off tho pulp and
spit out coffee beans and pulp Into tho pan.
They worked wonderfully fast, making a
stream of this splttlo How from their mouths
to tho pans nnd grinding away at about six
movements of the Jaw to tho second. I wns
told thnt thoy received about 12V4 cents of j
our money for n gallon of tho chowed mix
ture This wns tho result of one day of
working, from morning until night, nnd It
scorned to mo that they well earned the
money. I picked up one ot tho berries nnd
wont through tho process. Tho shell was
quite hard, but tho pulp and seeds tasted
sweet and tho opcrntlon tried only once was
not particularly unpleasnnt.
It Is In this way thnt all ot tho pulping Is
done, although I nm told thnt tho process
Is so expensive that machines hnvo been
ordered.
After this tho mush of pulp and seeds Is
placed fcr somo days In tho sun to ferment.
It Is next taken to tho creek and washed
nnd tho beans nro then laid out upon mats
In tho yard. Thoy roninln for five or six
il'iys In tho sun nnd nro then ready to be
hulled. Every coffee bean has still two
Hklr.s upon it, which must bo taken off be
foro it la ready for sale. Thero Is an outer
skin n thick ns your linger nail, and nn
Inner ono as thin ns flno tissue paper. In
order to romovo theso tho buns nro put
Into a mortar mado by gouging out n hole
In tho upright end of a log and a natlvo
pounds upon them with n pestlo-llko wooden
club, breaking tho skins. Tho coffco nnd
shells and skins nro then winnowed by
throwing them up In tho nlr, Just ns our
pioneer fathers winnowed their wheat, nnd
tho coffeo benns which remain nro rondy

this way, I nm told, nt n profit. If this Is
