as his meditations concluded. to ex-
tend the special session of the Legis-
lature for fourteen days. And taking
unto himself a pen and the great seal
OF the land he did issue the needed
proclamation, affixing thereto his sign
manual and signet.
And it came to pass when the Rep
resentatives, meaning the lower order
of the Legislature, gazed upon his
proclamation that they were exceeding
wroth And they lifted up their voices
in angry lamentations and objurga-
tions and said one to another:
Full many moons have We held
legislative discourse far from the bos-
ON of our families For long have We
combated the great tyrant named
Dole TO the glory and good of ourselves
and our posterity. but at last We have
wearied OF this mortal strife and de-
sire TO return to the kuleanas of our
fathers from whence we came many
moons ago"
But there were men stubborn of head
in the chamber of debate and they
said unto those of the homesick fac
ton:
Come let us not make too much
haste in our departure. lest through
our own foolishness we fall by the
wayside or among robbers and thieves,
so that the kuleanas of our fathers
shall know us no more. Lo, here are
scrolls from the mighty executive that
we fain should consider"
But the wrathful faction rose in
their might and right quickly did they
answer the men who had bespoken
them so roughly:
Nay. verify. not on your existence
| Full well have We labored and now
that all is over we will depart to our
cabins of comfort and unto our worthy
spouses. Take back your executive
scrolls to the place from which they
came. for we will consider no more
matters of this kind. Let us adjourn
