In the southeastern corner OF
the great island of Mindanao,
at what might almost be called
Ii the Jumping-off place of our
Philippine possessions. has
some OF the queerest savages on earth
II has tribes that worship the great vol
eano Mount Apo. which looks down upon
ne a. ! write. II has Moros who are
more fanatical In their Mohammedan be-
lief than the dervishes of Egypt. and It
has nature worshipers who sacrifice hu-
man beings to their imaginary gods. I
have met during the past week a large
number Of two Of the tribes which havs
human sacrifices. and through the vice
prsstdente Of the town OF Davao have
learned much concerning them and their
customs. The vice presideute IL perhaps
the most learned man of this region He
has been a school teacher. and has a
working knowledge of eleven different
languages. including many OF the native
tongues. My conversation with him was
IN Spanish, which he speaks and writes
most nuentiy. He has lived all his life
IN this part OF the world, and has had
coss associations with some OF the most
savage tribes.
This man tells me that fourteen differ
ent languages are used within radius
Of thirty miles OF this place. and that the
whole country II divided up among hos
tls savaaes, who are nearly always at
war With one another, Most of them are

The Dagobas are not entirely savage in
their way Of living. They have small
farms and cultivate rice and sweet pota-
toes In the intervals OF their bunting e,.-
cursions. They have houses erected on
poles high above the ground. They raiss
some hemp and weave the most II their
clothes from 1t. choosing the best of the
fiber.
The Ragoha women are better locking
than the other female savares Of Mlnda-
mao They are almost white. They are
straight and well formed. Their dress IL a
skirt reaching from the waist TO the Knee,
and a very short Jacket. Roth skirt and
Jacket are heavily embroidered with
beads. They are fond Of iewelry and wear
little earrings OF much the same shape
as those | have described as worn by the
men They wear strings Of bells above
the knees at about the place where tho
American girl wears a garter and have
heavy brass rings about the ankles. They
have a sort Of headdress which c,vers
their hair which is often SO long that
It hangs almost to the knees. When fully
dressed they adorn their hair with caney
feathers and hemp.
The Ragoha women do the most ~ the
hard work. They do the weaving OF the
people and plant the crops and keep out
the weeds
Stili quoting the words Of the vice presi-
dente these people are very hospitaele
and universally treat guests well when
they come to see them. Their hospitality.
however, ends after he has loft the viii
lage. Mt which time he had better Keep
his eyes open for one OF the young men
who Is after head. finger or an ear to
establish his reputation.
The vice presidente says thnt they mar
~ very young and that tho groom 81
ways has to pay a certain price for the
bride. The amount is regulated by he
beauty OF the girl and her standing IN the
tribal society. II she IL good looking and
the daughter OF warrior she may he es-
timatea at $50. although the sum will not
be given in money but in vegetables
chickens or hemp. one way OF estimating
such things Is at the price OF brass
gong Such a gong Ia worth thirty silver
dollars. and II is n valuable maiden In
deed who will bring two brass gongs.
