One of the most Interesting weapons of the Morn Is the talibong a sort of headsman’s x It Is from four to five feet long and weighs anywhere from four to eight pounds In time of war certain companies are equipp'd with these arms exclusively and are used a* nn advan guard They were also used by the offi cial hsadMßttt tei daoiptf ting criminals The chief use of the talibong from which it got Its name, was to sever the herd of the victim fallen in *attlc The Morns when warring with other tribes or even among themselves never took prisoners. After a battle men armed with the tail bong ware sent among the slain to finish the work. The weapon has now no sig nificance, but Is held sacred 111 the fam ilies of those who were once commis sion'd to use it.
