The Nephew Slain.
Accordingly he at once set his Kahunas
to work constructing a large double canoe
The top rails had been fitted and put in
place. the three .cross-pieces hewn into
shape, the hulls of the canoes smeared with
black paint, and there remained only the
sacred task of binding firmly together the
different parts with sinnet. Paao now or
dered a tabu: for a month no fire was to be
lighted, no person was to walk abroad, no
one was to work on the farm or go afishing
At the opening of the second month Paao
heard the noise of some one drumming on
the canoes. 1t was the son of Lonopele who
was guilty of this impertinent breach Of
ceremony. Seeing his opportunity, Paao
ordered the boy slain, and his body, after
serving as a consecrating sacrifice, was bur-
led under the canoe.
As soon as the days Of tabu were passed.
Lonopele, starting out in search Of HIS
missing son, came to the shed where the
canoes were resting on their blocks and
stopped to admire the elegance OF their
proportions. AS he stood at the stern and

Gratis to repeal the ten per cont. tax on
the circulation OF the State banks. 1t
seems that they wish to do everything
they possibly can to destroy every
measure that the Republicans devised
to promote the prosperity OF the
country. The currency furnished by
tho National Banlis meets every de.
mand, and is pre-emlpcnt!y satisfLc-
