ILoNeoTs or THE PHILIPPINES
A FERocIoUs TRIBE.
secure In Their Mountain Fastnesses,
They Have Never Acknowledged
the Sovereignty Of Spain or
America.


There Is one wild warlike tribe In
the Philippines that has stubbornly
refused for centuries to become at
t.acted or assimilated by the Chris
tan inhabitants.
These people are known as the Hon
COTS and are found in the mountains
near Baler, says the Manila American.
This tribe comes within the jurisdic-
ton of Tayabas, and according to
Gov. Quezon's report, there is one sec
ton north of Dagcan Inhabited by
these people where no Christian has
ever penetrated, and where the SOW
ereignty of Spain or the United States
has never been acknowledged. Gov.
Quezon says:
THE Ilongots are found only in the
mountains of Baler, from Dipaculan,
Diarabasin and Dinadianan to lsa-
bella, toward the north, and from the
mountains of San Jose de Casigaran
as far as Pantabangan and Carranga-
Ian, toward the west.
They are a ferocious race, always
on the lookout for an opportunity to
kill the inhabitants of every other set
Element.
THE road between Pantabangan
and Baler is wont to be the scene OF
these attacks on the part of these
infidels on Christian Filipinos.
During the time of Spanish gov
eminent troops were wont to be sent
to the mountains to punish the Hon
COTS when they assassinated Chris
tian Filipinos, and then the former
would either surrender or remain
quiet for some time, paying tax of
20 centimos for each male inhabitant
over IS and under So collectable in
tobacco leaves, as they had no money.
Then their local authorities were
appointed from among their number.
Practically, however, these authorities
appointed by the Spanish government
we're never acknowledged or recog-
nized by the inhabitants of each set
Element, those really recognized as
such being the leaders whose valor
and great ferocity inspired terror in
oil OlucIo. L H0 1lOu5Olo Vi Gan VOOS'
Dipaculan, Diarabasin and Dagcan
were the ones unsubjugated by the
Spanish, and as no Christian has been
there their number cannot be esti-
mated, but it is known that they
are more numerous than the Ilongots
who were subjugated, from the in
formation given by the latter.
Their warlike arms are the arrow,
the campilan Ia wide bolo, very
light and well sharpened, about two
and half hand-breadths in lengthy,
and the lance, Their defensive armis
shield three feet long by one foot
wide, called calasag.
Their attacks are always charac-
terized by treachery, they lie in wait
in the bush and ambush their victims;
from their hiding place they use
their lances, and when wounded, dis
patch their enemies, taking their
heads and leaving the body where it
fell. The head is carried away and
preserved as a trophy Of war, a feast
being celebrated upon the arrival of
the head at their settlement.
For an Ilongot to marry it is nee.
essary that he first bring the number
of heads of Christians or infidels that
his future father-in-law may designate,
which heads must have been cut off
by the sutton himself"

Knew Him at Once.

There are other sure ways of bring
ing a man to mind besides mentioning
bis name. Among the candidates who
were sent from Princeton to Il Phila-
delphia church was one young man
whose language was of the sort which
dazzles and delights the younger men,
bers of Il congregation and sometimes
pleases the elders as we'll. In this case
the committee were besieged to ask
for the young man again. and they
consented. but unfortunately the man
to whose lot it fell to write the letter
had forgotten the candidates name.
Nothing daunted. he wrote to one of
the seminary professors:
"Please send US that foweret, stream
let. rivulet. cloudlet, starlight and
moonbeam young man again. We've
forgotten his name. bat we've no doubt
you'll recognize him.
1--WE do" wrote the professor. And
the desired candidate was sent and
subsequently was called to the parish.

Mark 7'wain's Ant.

"Mark Twain in one of his amusing
books Of travel attacks the ant" said
nature student. He ridicules thu:
idea that the ant is Industrious and
wise. He devOtes three or four pages
: to an account Of an ant making It's
way homeward with burden. He
shows the ant climbing grass stems
instead OF going round them. doing n
hundred silly things. taking in every
case the long and foolish instead of the
short and sensible way home. And
hence, naturally enough. he concludes
that the ants wise industry is over
rated-naturally enough, l say, Mark
Twain's ignorance being granted. for
he was unaware when he wrote that
long and interesting passage that many
kinds of ants are blind. He did not
for all his close observation, take up
his little ant subject. look for its eye
sockets and find them absent. 1t was

THE ESPOUSAL.
Ancient Ceremony Of the Mutual
Promise of MARRIAGE,

EIOHIISC u NidITtdSe
The first part of the matrimonial Of
flee was anciently termed the espousal,
which took place some time prior to
the actual celebration of marriage.
These espousals consisted in a mutual
promise Of marriage, which was made
by the man and woman before the
bishop or presbytcr and several wit
neSSeS.
After them the articles of agreement
Of marriage. called tabulOe matrimo-
males. which are mentioned by Angus
tine, were signed by both persons Aft
or this the man delivered to the wom-
an the ring and other gifts, an action
which was termed subarrhatiOn. In
the latter ages the espousals have al
ways been performed at the same time
rs the office of matrimony in all the
churches abroad. and it has long been
customary for the ring to be delivered
to the woman after the contract has
been made, which has always been in
the actual Office of matrimony.
The ring is special token Of spous-
age. In some of the old manuals for
the use of foreign cathedrals before
the minister proceeds to the marriage
lie is directed to ask the wOman's
dOwry-viz, the tokens of spOusage-
and by these tokens of spousage are
to be understood rings or money or
some other things to be given to the
woman by the man. which giving is
called wedding or covenanting. espe-
cially when it is done by the giving Of
a ring.-NCw York Tribune.

Des Moines. April 26.-Secretary
George A. Newman of the state depart
ment Of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie is in receipt of the annual address
on the national patriotic instructor,
Warren Lee Goss, copies Of which are
being sent to all of the G. A. r. posts
thruout the state. The address is as
follows:
Friday the 14th of June. will be the
one hundred and thirtieth anniversary
of the birth of the flag of the United
States. The flag was designed for a
nation OF thirteen colonies, stretched
like a belt along the Atlantic coast,
made up of less than three millions of
people without common traditions or
language; drawn together only by COM
mon danger from savages within. and
oppression from without, which threat
ened their existence and liberties. That
flag now waves over great nation.
extending from the Gulf OF Mexico to
the lakes; from the Atlantic to beyond
the Pacific sea; and inhabited by near
ly ninety millions of people, who speak
a common language.
Our flag is now-in form-the old
est flag in civilized nations. The reso-
luton by congress for the adoption OF
the stars and Stripes on June the 18th,
1777, was as follows: Resolved, that
the flag of the United States be thir-
teen stripes, alternate red and White
that the union be thirteen stars, white
in blue neld, representing a new
constellation The design of this flag
is credited to George Washington, and
in part was taken from his family coat
of arms. Such Is the origin of a flag
dedicated to the proposition that ali
men are created free and equal. Let
us honor the natal day or our national
flag-displaying it from our public
buildings, schools and homes in recog-
milton Of his memorable day.
1.-THE men of the Grand Army of the
Republic, who preserved the nation in
the greatest war of modern times and.
made vital the declaration of our faith
ers, call upon all who live under the
flag to recognize this day by patriotic
observations In schools and-on the
Sunday preceding-in churches. To
this end we suggest that the governor
of every state, by proclamation. an
nounce the day and promote its recog-
riition; that the press scatter this call
-as seeds Of Observation-Disclosures
over the land. Such recognition will
nourish the greatness of our nation, in
culcate noble citizenship, the princi-
Piles of civil liberty, and be an object

Grand Junction, April 26.-AThe clean
ing up of the streets and alleys by adj
joining property owners is the individ-
ual order and action of our citizens all
over town.
The laying Of inside cement walks
by property owners has begun. The
board walk is a thing of the past, and
many brick walks are being replaced
by cement.
Bert Harker, of Chamberlain, S. D.,
has shipped in the second car OF horses

The present spell of winter weather
is holding in check all kinds of vege-
tation. but it is thought that the fruit
has not put out enough to be very ma
terially damaged. The cold, dry wealth
er is drying up the raspberry bushes,
doing more damage to the crop OF
berries than the winter did. Because
of the lack of moisture and warmth, a
light, tame hay crop is predicted and
pastures will be equally affected.
The report of the assessor shows in
our banks as deposits about $250000
The income of the people very large

are alive to the needs of the hour for
the betterment of business.
Farmers say the freezing weather
has done little damage to the oats, and
that with moisture and sunshine the
crop will soon be up.
Most of the ground is now prepared
for planting corn, and farmers are
awaiting the proper season. A large
crop will be planted in this part of the
state.
This year will about pay out all as
sessments for county bitches in this
locality. While the expense appeared
to be more to many than could be
borne and while the distribution in
many instances seemed unequal, all
are satisfied that the investment was
good one.

He further claims that his attorneys
did not make full and complete de-
tense of his case and says that the
court did not give the case the full
consideration that a case of that kind,
where a citizens life and liberty are at
stake, demands. Crofford asks the court
to issue the necessary orders SO that
he can appear before the court himself
and argue his own case. He calls the
attention of the court to the fact that it
will be necessary for a guard to be
appointed to conduct him from the Fort

and return again for that purpose.
