A native woman made her appear
ance at the Office of the adjutant-gen-
eral in Iloilo and told a strange story
of marital troubles.
A few days ago her husband, in
spite of the fact that they had been
married within the church." had sold
her to a Chino and had received the
money for her. She refused to accede
to the bargain and her husband ire
fully mistreated her and threatened
to take her life.
After a few days more the wicked
man again saw where he could replen-
ish his supply of "dacus" and sold her
this time to Spaniard. Notwith-
standing this seeming promotion she
again took objections to the bargain
and refused to leave her happy home.
Again the husband maltreated her,
called her names, and declared he
would have her hearts blood.
Fearing that she might be sold
again" she went before the justice of
the peace and asked him to take some
action in the way OF protecting her
from her cruel spouse. But the JUS

AS Is generally known, Senator Han.

hash and whenever he takes lunch at
the capitol restaurant he orders that
dish, which he has taught the cook
to prepare in a manner peculiarly his
own. AS a result he has had many
imitators and "corned beef la Han

many senators. When Shaw. the head
waiter of the senate restaurant wants
it prepared with unusual care he or.
ders IL this way:
"One corned beef hash for Senator
Hanna"
The restaurant was doing a great
business one day and everybody
seemed to want corned beef hash.
Fourteen times the order for "corned
beef hash for Senator Hannah" was
shouted to the chef. When the fiji
teenth order went down there was a
rumbling noise in the kitchen and the
Chef shouted:
