Has Never subdued Them.
Perhaps few people know that China has
within her borders alien peoples almost 40
different from her own subjects as our Indians
are from white men. One of these tribes lives
In the mountainous region OF southwestern
se-chuen. one Of the richest and most populous
provinces OF tho Empire. on the upper Yangtse
River. The tribe are known as the Iolos, and
are the aborigines OF the country. They
are thorough barbarians. and the Chinese
have as yet neither conquered nor civil
lied thcm. About six years ago Mr..
Hosle. who wrote book on his travels In
China. met some OF the Lolos. whom he
described as a tall and physically fine people.
Some OF our Indian tribes arc being absorbed
gradually by the intermixture Of white blood.
The Lolos. however. succeed In keeping them
selves entirely distinct. The Chinese have
hemmed them in on all Sides but they main
tain their racial purity. In fact the Chinese
are very we'll content IL they can keep these
savages within their wild hills. for they are apt
to be on the warpath. and when they raid the
valleys and plains they carry Chinese women
and children into captivity. and make the
G2ye{nmsnt great deal Of trouble.

and defeated the Lolos in u pitched battle in
which a. great number OF them were killed.
Father De!ome says. however that the bar.
barians will learn no lesson from their defeat,
but will nurse tho spirit OF revenge. They will
bide their lime. and sooner or later they will
avenge their slain
All around the mountains OF the Lolos arc

Father Delome writes that the city Of Tapu %

safety beyond the circle Of its walls. For many
months at a time. however. the Lolos keep to
their hills. and then some Chinese families will
leave the city to find u spot outside upon which

Goods for Pr0vislons

GOO0D 1Or FTOV10JOn0.
This ia q picture of . sort Of building that Is
very common at all the missionary stations
along the Congo River It represents the store
at Banza Manteke. one OF the largest stations
OF the American Baptist Missionary Union on
the Congo. Missionaries have found that
trading is a necessary part OF their work. The
Congo Free State has issued a silver currency
which has holes stamped throughtit so that
the natives. who are not blessed with pock cts.
can thread the coin on strings and wear their
money around their necka They. however
are not taking very kindly to the medium Of
exchange. They cannot see that the coins
represent any value. and they decline to re-
ceive them in exchange either for labor or the
products Of their little farms. The mission
aries are therefore compelled to use mer-
chandlse as money.
