Civilized Tribes in Philippines.

OF the eight civilized tribes in
the Philippines, the largest is that
of the Visayans, who occupy most
of the islands lying between Luzon
and Mindanao, and form nearly
one-half of the entire civilized pop
ulation. Tagalogs occupy the pro-
vinces in the vicinity of Manila.
They rank second, with a little
more than one-6fth of the civilized
peoples, and the Ilocanos rank
third, with approximately one
eighth. Among the wild tribes the
Moros are the most numerous, COM
prising about two-hfths Of the non
Christian population
kven among the Christian tribes
the tribal distinctions are clearly
marked. The members of the diff
ferent tribes rarely mix in villages
or intermarry. and, with the ex-
ception of the Ilocanos, who have
migrated from their original terri
tory and settled in neighboring
provinces. the people show little
tendency toward expansion or col
onization.

pretty woman.
From the time Nellie Benthuson had
gone into long skirts she had asso-
ciated principally witk men, among
whom she was favorite; and neigh
borhood gossip recorded numerous love
affairs of more or less earnestness. In
all she had earned the reputation Of be-
ing tickle, quick in forming attach
ments and equally quick in dismissing
them. These love affairs had culmin-
ated in her marriage to Shannon
Bailey, a young lawyer, good looking,
of some means, giving promise of zap
i'd advancement in his profession and
intensely in love with the high-spir-
tied, hoydenish Nellie.
During the courtship Bailey had
been the victim of at least one of that
numerous class of individuals who de-
light in carrying gossip to the person
most interested. In this case one, of
these offcious chatter-b boxes whispered
things to Bailey about his fancee that
adoring lovers do not like to hear.
These whisperings had the usual effect.
Instead of breaking the attachment 1t
strengthened it; but at the same time
It planted seeds Of distrust that later
bore their fruit in a most grewsome
way.
Bailey promptly married the girl,
but decided that they could be happier

HEARING AFTER DEATH.
Remarkable Instance Of Continued
Animation After Severance
Of the Head.

An extraordinary incident which oc-
CURED at the guillotining at Orleans OF
the murderer Languille has been inter-
estingly explained by Prof. Hartsmann,
q famous Paris surgeon, says the Lon
don Mail. When the blade of the gull
lotine fell, Languille's head was COM
pletely severed from the trunk. A doc
tor who was in attendance Immediately
picked up the head and called tee dead
mans name. To the establishment of all
present the eyelids Of the severed head
opened wide and then closed again.
'Languille! Languille!" called the
doctor second time, and once more the
eyelids lifted, but q third call met with
no response.
Prof. Hartsmann says it is quite pos
sible for form of nervous life to exist
after death. This would not be the case
If the subject died naturally or of some
disease, but undoubtedly it would be so
in the case Of a healthy person meeting
with a sudden and violent death. When
a strong man suddenly passes from life
to death his bodily tissues show a con-
siderable amount of resistance.
The professor says that he himself dis
sected the body of man 36 hours after
he had been executed, and that on prick
ing with needle the nerve of the thick
he discovered that it was alive.
In the case of Languille, says the pro-
fessor, the eyelids opened, not because
the name of Languille was pronounced,
but because the sound of the voice on the
ears produced a reflex action on the
nerves. They would have lifted had any
other name been called.

little time before he death Of Both
amley his companion had mailed two
letters. The post is not overburdened
el an ONCE like Skeleton ranch, and
the postmistress had plenty OF time to
inspect addresses of incoming and
outgoing mail. In this case she was
also garrulous and of retentive men,
DRY. From her iearnes that one of
the letters mailed by the supposed SIS
ter Of Bothamley was bulky one in a
legal envelope, and addressed to the
clerk of Harvey county. This proved
on Investigation to have been deed
made by Sarah A. Laws, spinster, Of
Sedgwick county, Kansas, to Bertha L.
Bothamley, of Harvey county, covering
GAO acres of land in the latter county.
The consideration in the deed was
given at $12,SO0. The descr pt:on of
the land in the deed conceded with the
legal description of the ranch on which
Bothamley had lived.
This discovery raised the question
of the identity of Sarah A. Laws. Dill
gent inquiry failed to reveal such a
woman, and, had she lived in the coun-
ty claimed, it was unlikely that she
could not be located. The identity of
the Laws woman, therefore, became a
problem. The fact that deed to the
Bothamley ranch, however had been
forwarded for record by Bothamley's
woman companion invested that per-
son with even greater interest.
The discovery of her real identity
was not a matter calling for any
great effort. While at the Bothamley
ranch, where she had passed as his
sister, she had been identified as Mrs.
Nellie Bailey, the daughter Ct Kan
sas rancher and carpenter named G. F.
Benthuson. The Whereabouts of her
husband was unknown for the remark
able reason that will appear later.
Important chapters in her life were
not known to her acquaintance in
Kansas. At this time the circumstan-
tial case against her seemed to be
growing stronger. III fiction the
shrewd detective would have gathered

Wright house. In few days Mrs.
Bailey plunged into another Irritation,
as furious as the first. Another scene
resulted, ending in separation. Bailey
took quarters away from the hotel end
his bride remained at the Wright
house. Several days later Bailey and
His wife again became reconciled. She
evidently had the power to throw him
into the most violent fits of jealous
rage, and then, by pretense Of repent
ance and other woman's wiles, to bring
him to her feet again. Right after this
second reconciliation the pair moved
to De Smet, a mere hamlet at that
time, containing only 16 families. The
country was new and was being devel-
oped by the railroad that had just built
line through It.
Bailey believed that the village had
a promising future and announced his
intention to settle there and 60 into
the real estate and loan business. In
his travels he had carried with him
several thousand dollars, and soon
after arriving at De Smet he deposited
this money in the Bank of Kingsbury
County, conducted by A. and Thomas

story building that had been used as
a shoe store, with living rooms above,
bought furniture and soon were, to ell
