WILD AND WAELLlE
ILoNcoTs or THE PHILIPPINES
A FERocIous TRIBE.
Secure In Their Mountain Businesses,
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
tracted or assimilated by the Chris
tian 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
J 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 Isa-
bella, toward the north, and from the
mountains of San Jose de Casigaran
as far as Pantabangan and Carranga-
LAM toward the west.
They are 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 Ion
COTS when they assassinated Chris
zian 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
were 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
all others. The Ilongots Of San Jose,
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 1t Is known that they
are more numerous than the nongots
who were subjugated, from the in
formation given by the latter.
Their warlike arms are the arrow,
the campilan "a wide bolo. very
light and well sharpened, about two
and half hand-breadths in lengthy,
and the lance. Their defensive arm is
a 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 1t
fell. The head is carried away and
preserved as a trophy Of war, feast
being celebrated upon the arrival Of
the head at their settlement.
For an nongot 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 on
by the sutton himself"

The Japanese are natural sailors,
and they swarm ON the seas because
the soanty economic resources Of
their country and their insular and
contracted geographical position make
the sea their birthright. The lesson
Of their success in handling a mod
ern navy in the war with Russia is
that they are equally adapted to
handling a merchant marine in com
petition with the world. Their spe-
cial advantages on the Pacific are
conspicuous, and they are not a peo-
pie to neglect the advantages which
nature has given to them. Other
countries may exclude Japanese Inn
migrants, but on the high seas they
must expect to meet Japanese com
petition that may be all the fiercer
because Of the land barriers being
erected against the Japanese laborer.

t1rer-o na~, Peter Cartwright and
q: y Famous Circuit Riders.

~. ~ Famous Circuit Hlders.
Few romances, says the . Youths
Companion, can equal that Of early
Ohio Methodism. No part of the
United States found more fruitful
field or yielded a greater harvest
In 1915 John Stewart, free mulat-
70 living In Marietta, addicted to
drunkenness, and on the way to the
river to drown himself, heard the
voice of a circuit rider, stopped at
the church door to listen, and went
home with an awakened conscience.
He soon volunteered to 80 among the
Indian tribes and tell his story. Wan
dering northward, he came to Wy
andotte village on the Sandusky river.
He could read and sing, and he soon
had the whole tribe under his infiu-
ence. He died at the age of 81,
mOurned and honored, the first Amer
lean missionary Of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
One OF Stewards converts was Be.
tween-the-Legs, a Wyandotte chief.
He was born at Lower Sandusky, now
Fremont, o., took the American side
in the war of 1912, and accompanied
Harrison in his invasion Of Canada
Bishop McCabe's uncle, DR.. l.. d.
McCabe, notable Ohio Methodist,
was named after that famous circuit
rider, Lorenzo Dow. Dow was cele-
brated for his eccentricities of dress
and speech as well as for his zeal
He wore no buttons on his coat, but
tied the garment around his waist
with rope. He would make appoint
ments to preach months in advance
and 20 implicit was the faith of his
PROMISES that on the appointed days
great crowds would gather from miles
around. One instance is recorded
where Dow preached thus punctually
TO the minute on an appointment
made five years previous.
OF Peter Cartwright, an Ohio "son
Of thunder" licensed to preach at
the age of IL, 1t is said that his cir
cults were like lines of battle. One
quarterly meeting was held In the
woods. A mob led by two champions
with loaded whips invaded it. Cart
wright seized one after the other of
the principal rioters, threw them
down, and, aided by friends, secured
30 persons, whom he marched OF to
an empty tent. had them guarded over
night, and brought all to justice.
His sermon that day was from the
text: "The gates of hell shall not
prevail"
Cartwright during his 65 years OF
preaching received 10000 members
into the church.
The camp meeting originated and
attained its highest development in
Ohio, Under Bishop McKendree such
was the eagerness Of the people to at
tend that the roads were literally
crowded with those pressing their
way to the groves. Entire neighbor-
hoods were forsaken for a season by
their inhabitants. A bishops salary
at that time was from $40 to $50 a
year and travelling expenses. From
this pittance he had to buy his clothes
and provide for his family.

The music-loving pecSle of Lewiston

much pleasure the appearance of the
Olive Mead quartet ON the evening of

ning's entertainment will be the bari
tone selections of Mr. claire Mon

Indicative of the splendid program
assured is the following from the New
York Evening Post:
ITS fun to hear those girls play!"
said blase professional at Mendels-
sohn hall last night, after the concert
of the Olive Mead quartet So, indeed,
it is; if the music lovers knew how re-
markedly well they play, there would
not be a vacant seat whenever they
give concert. There is truly femi-
nine beauty of tone, purity of intona-
ton, in their playing, combined with
a military precision in ''>eir ensemble,
that are as balm to tired ears and
brains. Are women destined to GUST
men as quartet players, too? The
Kneisels, alone. remain to dispute SUI
premacy with the Olive Meads.
The concert will be given at the

and that this germ must be killed by
local treatment "a ~
Mr. John II. Ray of the Owl Drug
Co has in his possession hundreds of

and pther diseases of the skin. He also
has pictures of men, women and chill
dren showing the skin diseases, crack
ing and bleeding, while a few months
later it jig clean, soft and smooth with

MAKING ALCOHOL ON THE FARM

The internal revenue commissioner
has prepared for public use docu-
ment giving the regulations for manu-
featuring .denatured alcohol from
waste products on the farm, and no
doubt the department of agriculture
win follow up the matter with bulle-
tins in the popular educational form.
Making cheap alcohol for fuel, power
and light is a great industry on the
German farms, and takes considera-
Bile part in the German advance in
manufacturing and commerce. French
farmers also have made progress In
the business Some own their own
stills and others depend on travelling
distillers. The, waste of wine, fruit
and beet growing is chiefly relied on,
potato crops, costing more in France
than in Germany a#
AT the beginning of the year the tax
on the manufacture Of denatured alco-
hol was sremUved. but the. advantages
predicted are not yet visible to any
extent Time il required to grasp the
practical details of the change. Ameri-
can farms raise more marketable crops
than any other, and have a greater
variety OF waste and y-products. AL
cohol can be distilled from corncobs
and like material and is said to be SUI
perIor to gasoline for fuel The au-
thorities at Washington are giving
though to what can be accomplished
in it's manufacture by individual farm
ers or groups of farmers, and the in
lustry, when fairly set in motion, will
take the place anticipated. The uses
Of chief efficient fuel are not in
doubt. An active campaign by the de-
rartment of agriculture will give de-
natural alcohol the start needed.
