Freak of Kansas Wind.

J. B. Stinebaugh relates a very
queer incident of the storm. He, with
his wife, son and daughter, was at the
farm of E. e. Stinebaugh, six miles
south of the city. They were all out
of the buggy except the son, boy of
twelve years, when a gale of wind
caught the buggy, and tore the har-
ness into shreds, separating the buggy
from the horse. The buggy, with the
boy in it, shot up into the air several
feet and turned completely over, land
ing several feet away upon the ground
o mass of ruins. The boy came down
upon the top of woven wire fence
but was uniniured. Mr.. Stinebaugh
went out after what was left of his
buggy. Mr.. Stinebaugh says he has
had several experiences with storms
and wind, but never saw anything to
equal his experience in this storm. -

The WILD TRIBES S
OF THE PHILIPPINES, )
Poisoned Arrows and Murderous Daggers Among 8
the Weapons Used by the Native Islanders s


The native inhabitants of the Phil
ippines can be conveniently divided
into four groups: the civilized In
dians. the Mohammedans, the wild In
dians and the Negritos or Atlas.
These same divisions existed at the
coming of the Spanish in 1919, though
their relative numbers, location and
other conditions must have changed
greatly since that time.
The uncivilized Indian tribes occupy
much of the interior and mountainous
parts of all the large islands of the
group, except Cebu and Bohol, in
which they have either been Chris
tiauized and merged with the civilized
Indians or have been driven out.
They still occupy nearly all the terri
tory Of the great islands of Mindoro
and PaIawan. They number, accord
ing to Spanish estimates, some three
or four hundred thousand, belonging
to over fifty different tribes.
They are shut off from the sea and
means Of communicating with one an
other and the outside world by the
civilized Indians about them, and
probably remain IN much the same
condition Of sayagery as when first
observed by the Spanish.
Like the civilized Indians, the saw
ages are brown in color, with coarse
straight black hair and little beard,
They seem to be somewhat smaller
and sIighter Of figure than their Chris
tian neighbors.
Their languages show close kinship
to those of the civilized tribes adjacent
and also as close to those of the saw
ages Of Formosa. Few of the tribes
possess lands lit for the cultivation Of
lowland rices, and fewer still have the
necessary skill and implements and
piow beasts lbuflaIoes1 for cultivating
such lands. Their recourse is the
common one of savages nearly the
world round-they cut off small por
tious of the forest during the dry sea
son. and after burning this over, they
plant, at the beginning Of the rainy
season. upland rice, maize, sweet po-
tatoes. etc, among the blackened logs
and stumps The supply Of food thus
gained is usually insufficient, and af-
ter it is eaten up they lead miserable
eIist ence, securing the woods for
game and wild fruit and going to the
sea beach wherever they can reach it
for she'll fish and other food. Their

d Some of the wilder tribes of Nc
zLuzon are said still to hunt the hea
of their enemies with which to orn-

hnniing savages of Formosa and the
Ieyaks of Borneo, but the tribes in
eontact with the Christian Indians
eontent themselves with hanging the
skulls of monkeys, deer, wild boar and
nntfaloes about their doors.
The weapons used by savages in the

read. So her master had her taught,
and, his own daughter dying after a
time, she was adopted as a daughter
of the house. Later the viceroy re-
ceived some political honor from the
Emperor of China, and, being desirous
to give him a beautiful and worthy
present in token of acknowledgment,
he followed the artless Oriental Gus
tom and sent Tuen to Pekin. The
girls feet had never been bound, OF
course, and she could walk upon them,
and her mind was developed beyond
that of most Chinese women. The
favorite slave OF the Emperor of China
became the favorite wife, and when
the Empress consort died, she became
Empress of China. On the journey
by river to Pekin, with servants sent
with her by the viceroy, she had given
a ring to young lad who saved man
from drowning in the river. She had
promised the ring to any one who
would save the drowning man. This
youth to whom she gave the ring had
an intelligent face; he was sailor, IN
the coarse clothes of the lower class.
That was Ii Hung Chang.
During her sons minority, Tuen
was regent, and now, as Empress
Dowager, she again assumes command.
The Emperor is about twenty-four:
the Empress is sixty. Bishop Gal
loway says that her birthday was to
have been celebrated with great pomp,
but the Chinese-Japanese war pre-
vented. He says truly that it is sig
mica Mt that in China, "where womer
are at discount, are secluded and

Her Extraordinary Career From Slavery
to Supreme Power.
The true story of the woman who is
at the head of the Chinese Empire,
and who has just summoned Ii Hung
Chang back TO power, is of extraordi-
nary significance as well as interest.

with her sons weak and characterless

hands, openly, the reins of power
which she has held in truth for a gen.

father was of Tartar blood, and one of

not have thought of selling his child,

but, as the family had become desti-
tute in rebellion, the little girl of
eleven suggested this means of getting
bread for her mother and little brother
and her father. Tuen served the vice
roy's wife and mother in-law, and was
taught spinning and other useful arts
by their maids. When she was twelve
she embroidered beautiful tunic for
the viceroy, and he was delighted with
it that he offered the little slave what
ever she wished most. Then Tuen
fell on her knees and declared her
