And now the white man scoffed. But
in the end, SO great is the power of
superstition, he sent. And here it may
be stated that on the eleventh day of his
sojourn at the kraal of Zweete those
whom he sent returned with the oxen,
except the three only. After that he
scoffed no more. Those eleven days he
spent in hut of the old mans kraal,
and every afternoon he came and talked
with him, sitting far into the night.
On the third day he asked Zweete how
it was that his left hand was white and
shriveled, and who were Umslopogaas,
and NADIA, of whom he had let fall some
words. Then the old man told him the
tale that is set out here. Or, in truth,
he acted rather than told his story. Was
the death of warrior in question, he
stabbed with his stick, showing how the
blow fell and where; did the story grow
sorrowful, he groaned, or even wept.
Moreover, he had many voices, one for
each of the actors in his tale This man.
ancient and withered, seemed to live
again in the far past. 1t was the past
that spoke to his listener, telling of
deeds long forgotten, of deeds that are
no more known.

INTRODUCTION,

Some years since-it was during the
winter before the Zulu war-a white
man was travelling through Natal. His
name does not matter, for he plays no
part in this story. All went well till he
had passed the little town of Stranger,
which was once the site Of Duguza, the
kraal of Chaka, the first Zulu king.
The night after he left Stranger the air
turned bitterly cold. Heavy gray clouds
filled the SKY and hid the light of the
stars. tNow if were not in Natal
should say that there was heavy fall
of snow coming" said the white man to
himself 81 have often seen the skv
look like that in Scotland before snow.
Then he reflected that there had been
no deep snow in Natal for years.
During the night he was awakened by
sense of bitter cold and the low moan
ing of the oxen that were tied to the
trek-tow. He thrust his head through
the curtain of the tent and looked out.
The earth was white with snow and the
air was full of it, swept along by bit
ter wind
Now he sprang up, calling as he did
SO to the Kafirs who slept beneath the
wagons.
Quick! you boys" he said to them in
Zulu; ''quick! Would you see the cattle
die of the snow and cold? Loose the
oxen from the trek-tows and drive them
in between the wagons; that will give
them some shelter" And lighting
lantern he sprang out into the snow.
At last it was done-no easy task, for
the numbed hands of the Kaffirs could
scarcely loosen the frozen reins The
wagons were outspanned side by side
with space between them, and into
this space the mob of thirty-six oxen was
driven and there secured by reins tied
crosswise from the front and hind
wheels of the wagons. Then the white
man crept back to his bed, and the shiv-
ering natives, fortified with gin, or
squareface, as il is called locally, took
refuge on the second wagon, drawing a
tent sail over them
eff the snow goes on shall lose my
oxen," he said to himself; 'they can
never bear this cold"
Hardly had the words passed his lips
when the wagon shook; there was a
sound OF breaking reins and trampling
hoofs. Once more he looked forth The
oxen had ''skrecked' in mob, running
away to find shelter from the cold.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1899-11-14
Then the Old man told him the tale that
Is set out here.

Is set out here.
Such search as could be made revealed
nothing. The oxen had gone, and their
spoor was obliterated by the fresh fallen
snow. The white man called a council
of his Kaffir servants. "What was to
be done?" he asked
Then a Zulu spoke, who was the driver
of the first wagon.
'My father" he said to the white
man, ''this is my word: The oxen are
lost in the snow. No man knows with
er they have gone, or whether they live
or are now but hides and bones. Yet at
the kraal yonder," and he pointed to
some huts about two miles away on the
hillside, Elves witch doctor named
Zweete. He is old-very old-but he
has wisdom, and he can tell you where
the oxen are if any man may, my ia
Their"
"Stuff!'' said the white man. Still,
as the kraal cannot be colder than this
wagon, we will go and ask Zweete.
An hour later he stood in the hut of
Zweete. Before him was very ancient
man, mere bag of bones, with sight
|
white and shriveled.
"What do you seek of Zweete, nv
white father" asked the old man in a
thin voice. "You do not believe in me
and my wisdom; why should help youi
Yet will do it, though it is against your
law, and you do wrong to ask me. Yes
to show you there is truth in us Zulu
doctors, / will help you. My father,
know what you seek. You seek to know
where your oxen have run for shelter
from the cold! Is it not SOP
at is so, DOCTOR" answered the white
man. 'You have long ears"
Eyes, my white father, have long
ears, and yet they say grow deaf.
have keen eyes also, yet cannot see
your face. Let me hearken. Let me
look"
For awhile he sat silent, rocking te
and fro; then he spoke: 'You have :

Beware Of Matches.

The eldest son of j. Puahi and
Lizzie Kainana Puahi died yester-
day at their home in Kalihi valley.
The boy, who was only FIVE years of
age, had some matches in his coat
pocket while playing. The matches
were ignited and the child severely
burned on his chest and face. The
injury proved fatal and the little
fellow died yesterday, probably as
the result OF the shock. No doctor,
no inquest, but the burial of a
bright boy.

charming home. The catalogue an
nounces that 1O4 pictures are being

plainly seen.
This morning the hall was open

FOR FRIENDSHIPS SAKE.

When the more than middle aged
man, who pens these lines, was an
unbreeched tiny little Salopian dot,
his infantile mind was often puzzled
at the meaning of an ever recurring
toast: "To all friends round the
Wrekin." He never appreciated the
sense of it until a sage and generous
minded father made him pass
through the "needle's eye" OF that
hill-which to his childish eyes was
an immense mountain-and pointed
out to him the fertile hills aud val
leys ii many lovely Engli,h and
Welsh counties. "Wbeu, NY lad"
said he, "we drink to that tosat, we
wish our best and the best 10 all
our friends wheresoever they may
be in Gods round world Love to
all, friendship to all; for friendship
fingers after love has departed; it
has no wings"

The petitioners for the last fran
chise are Browne & Gehr, represent
ing Eastern capital, the managers
of the firm of T. HI. Davies e. Co.,
and others. Mr. Thurston spoke
eloquently and feelingly against the
granting of a franchise to syndicate
which would threaten the company
with which he is connected with
dangerous competition. The bril-
liant stockbroker does not believe
that competition is the life of
trades" he cannot see that the more
railroads are built the merrier it
will be for the small farmers who
may find an existence in the fertile
lands OF Hamakua as soon as trans
portation prices are cut down. There
was time when Thurston was the
high priest of small farmers, guava
jelly and diversified industries The
small farmers, the guava jelly and
other industries have failed to ma
terialize and Thurston said that it
was due to the present exorbitant
transportation charges. By having
two railroad lines operating in the
same districts besides steamers run
ming along the coast and carrying
sugar and products to Hilo, the dis
tricts will be benefited enormously,
and for the first time in the annals
of Hawaii will there be a show for
the small farmer. But when Mr..
Thurston's own financial interests
are in jeopardy he consigns the
small farmer, and the guava jelly to
his Satanic partner.

The trouble with the little ring of

the sun OF Hawaii sets and rises in
their well-lined pockets and that
they are entitled to own the Islands

The Hilo Railroad Company does
not possess an exclusive franchise,
and we cannot see that there can be
any fair reason for the Government
to refuse any responsible applicants
for franchises to built railroads. If
the companies make no profits it is
their misfortune and not any "kule-
ana" of the Government. The fittest
will survive and the people will
benefit by healthy competition.

The Thurston syndicate is incon-

against a franchise for second rail
road because, they were first in the
field. 1t was the Thurston syndi-

If the Government should decline
franchise to the Browne g. Gehr
syndicate because the Thurston
syndicate might lose a monopoly,
it should refuse a license to any
merchant who might desire to open

Damon going to the Government
and saying: II don't want you to
give license or a charter to the
First American Bank which is to be
