mer for the coarse work, the latter for
the finest lines. The history of the
Maoris is kept on carved tables,
and posts. Certain figures stand
for noted chiefs and other engraved
signs for the deeds and events for
which their lives were famous. The
posts very nearly resemble the totem
poles of the Alaskan Indians. &
Tatooing is another Objectionable
custom Of the Maoris for the tattooing
in. Maoriland is no pricl5ing-in a pat
tern with Indian ink as practiced
among sailors and others. 1t is more
fearful process. The man who is to
be tatooed is held down, and the de-
sign, every one different from the 9TH
er, is chiseled in by the artist. The
poor bleeding face is powdered with
specially prepared charcoal and the
subject is sickening sight. The oper-
ator's pattern is in his mind and he
works away as though craving a piece
of wood or stone. What can be done
in this line must be seen to be believ-
ed; and no one can well imagine the
eXcruciating pain in the process of
such facial ornamentation and in the
succeeding week, when the subject
has to lie by for recovery. After
death the. heads OF the tattooed per-
sons are removed and carefully pre-
served by a secret drying and smok-
ing process, after which they are num-
bered and arranged on large tables in
burial cave where they remain in
perfect condition for hundreds Of
years.
The study of the various patterns
traced upon these heads is one of con-
siderable difficulty and of correspond
ing interest. Where the Maori took
the idea of his spirals and curves from
is question open to discussion; but
there is no doubt that he is pains
taking and conscientious craftsmanin
imprinting them on his subject. No
black and white craftsman, no wood
cutter. etcher or line engraver among
European works with slower delibera-
ton. Inch by inch the lines are cut
OF pricked cut on the quivering but un-
f'inching human copper plate. The blood
is wiped away with little scraped flax
and the blue die or stain rubbed in. In
the course Of weeks, months or. years,
as leisure, wealth or endurance per-
mits, the work is completed In no
other society does an artist have his
patient so completely at his mercy.
Not only is tatto expert of true abil-
ity rarity. for whose services there

Zealand. Nor are they of the same
stock as the natives of Australia, who
are Of strikingly different type of
man, and so much lower In brain and
talent as to be out of comparison with
them. Indeed, tn Bushmen of Austral.
ia, If not the lowest grade of human
lity, are but single rung from the
bottom, the decision lying between
them and the Hottentot their young
wandering about naked, and being
taken no more account OF than mon
keys. New Zealand, moreover, never
was part of Australia. 1t has none
of its trees, flowers, animals, birds or
reptiles, which are as totally dlsslm1lar
as its natives.
The folklore of the Macris says
| Maoriland was discovered by one Te
Kupe, a priest, who lived on an is
| land called Hawaild believed to be
Hawaii, to the natives of which the
Maoris bear a strong resemblance).
This priest incurred the displeasure Of
the ruling chief of Hawaiki, and was
compelled to flee his island home to
save his life. Securing a canoe, and
stocking it with provisions, he put to
sea, as he supposed, to see home and
, friends no more and possibly to find
! his grave in the might ocean. But a
kind Providence favored the lone
hoatman, and over the peaceful ocean
he padded his way. His was long
tourney. When his relatives found he
did not return they mourned him as
dead. But to their surprise, many
moons later, he came back, as one re-
turned from another world. But the
story he brought was even more sur
lrrising than his appearance. He told
them in glowing language of wonder
full country which he had discovered
/ toward the south. He spoke Of its rich
ness and the strange things he there
/ beheld-huge forests, burning noun
tains, steaming lakes, gigantic Moa
birds, etc.
AS the story of some newly discov-
cred gold-yielding land eXcites civiliz-
ed communities so this account Of
fairy land set the natives of the home
island wild with excitement and pas
sion TO seek its shores. Indeed TIE Kupe
/ himself was now regarded as but lit
tie less than a god Preparations be-
gan at once to be made by the more
adventurous spirits to visit and explore

of an unusually we'll tattooed face was
apt to become a proud and intolerable
person. He united in himself the vir-
tues and vices of a chieftain of high
degree (shown by the elaborate ma
ture of his face pattern) of profess
sional beauty. of brave man, able to
endure pain. of the owner of unique
picture; and of an acknowledged art
critic. In one or the other of these
capacities he made life burdensome
to his acquaintance. But sometimes
retribution came. Thus chieftain
named TIE Pehi, who visited Great
rliration of connoisseurs at one end of
the world and the despair of rivals at
the other end posed with great sue
cess when in England as an authority
en- tattcoing. But after his return to
New Zealand he laid down the law
once too often When guest in the
pa (native village) at Kaiapoi, he
jeered at chief present, whose head
he declared to be too badly tattooed to
be worth cutting off and selling.
Hades has no fury like a woman
ing has been condemned. So TIE Pehi
was promptly knocked on the head he
Lad carried so high and was duly eat
en-. e.. Perhaps the incident is worthy
of notice as being the best historic in
stance of an art critic overtaken by
vengeance, meet and immediate. In
the palny days (between 1910 and
1890 Of the regular traffic in tattooed
heads for exhibition purposes man,
with a really good head on his shout
ders) was assuredly worth money to
others If not to himself. AS the sup
ply slackened down, natives of low
birth were tattooed against their own
will and later on killed and their
heads disposed of to unprincipled Eu
ropean traders. A story Is told of a
prisoner who. after being deliberately
tattooed. impudently ran away with
his own head, then under contract OF
sale, before the day of delivery had
come. But in 1881 Gov Darling issued
a proclamation denouncing the traffic
in tatooed heads. And unlike many
humane proclamations this one was
followed up by active repression. Mis-.
sionary influence also becoming para.
mount was excited in the same cause
and the trade went the way of canni
balism and other things interesting
but horrible.
According to that tradition, the
Maoris are not the aboriginals of New

arts excelled in making cloth by hand

SUDDEN DEATH AT EDDYvILLE.
Mrs. odem Passes Away at England

Eddyville, Oct. s.--Quite sudden
and sad death occurred on Wednesday
forenoon, October s, out at the E. w.
England home, near Lakonta. The
death was that of Mrs. Martha Odem.
former Eddyville lady, the widow of
Jack Odem. The England family had
departed that morning for ST Louis to
attend the Worlds fair and Mrs. Odem
and her grandson, Ray Odem, Of Os-
kaloosa, We're taking care of the farm
while the family were away. The
young man went off to work shortly
after breakfast and on returning
home at the noon hour he was horri-
fed to find his grandmother ce.d in
death upon the sofa. She had been

Arawa, Tianui, Mata-Atua, Takitumu
and Kurahuapo. They were laden with
provisions and water, and one day they
left shore.
TIE Kupe's canoe kept in advance Of
the rest and led the way. Days pass
ed with no sight of anything but water.
But eventually land was reached. TIE
Kupe's canoe, The Aoeta, was the first
to get to shore; hence the Maori name
Aotearoa was given by it's occupants
| to New Zealand.
At what period this took place, is
one of those interesting events in con-
nection with their history, which have
Ebeen lost in the dim vista of the past
But the Maoris today invariably refer
, to Hawaiki as the fatherland of their
race. Hence the native proverb: 81
llune mai Hawaiki, tie kune kai tie
kune tangata." "The seed of our COM
ing is from Hawaiki, the birthplace of
man." This tradition, with other
events connected with the people, has
been handed down from father to son
through countless generations. And
although these ancestral "reminiscences
may appear like q labyrinth of myth
| ical fancies, yet, when considered in
connection with the rude monuments
and carvings which served to perpetu-
ate their m emory, they form as it were
missing links in the unwritten annals
of a splendid, albeit savage race Of
people, who, by their singular intelli-
gence and chivalrous valor, will be re-
membered in the history of the world
so long as the record Of the rise and
progress of the British empire shall
endure.
The people of the native villages
are straight, of good physical proper
tons and of fine mental make up.
They have large, but sad eyes, finely
modelled aquiline noses, rounG faces,
and their lips, though full, are not
sensuous as the negroes. The men are
manly; the women, many of them real
beauties. They dress in single gar
ment made of the native flax plant,
the dber Of which they ingen.ously pre-
pare and then manufacture into their
dress. 1t is not such a garment as
ladies and gentlemen wear on Court
street, Ottumwa, but the Maoris think
lit very becoming.

THE TRIAL OF ZAPErA
The Murder Case Is Developing Into
 Sensational One.

The preliminary examine ticn of Dep u.y Sheriff Frank D. Zapeda, ohar2e1 with the murler of Harry A. McDon- old at Agun Calente last Friday, WI take place before Justice Burnett I ext Mond~v afternoon.
 Yesterday was the time set for e hearing of Zapeda on the oriEinal charge of shooting with intent to kill. Sheriff Cook returned yesterday from Agua Caliente with some of the wt- nesses of the tragedy but all of them could not be present. It was hsrdlV necessary that they should ba for 1t became certain on the death of McDon- aid that the hearing would not take ntace. Neither the territory nor the defense would be ready to proceed to the hearing on the new charge.
 Three of the witnesses acconpan' ed the sheriff to the city. J. H. Root, the
 justice of the peace at Asua Cal,ente, John Modesti and L. F. Bruce. wto were present at the killing. Mrs. Me Donald who is still pfostrated by the death of her husband, could not come. TOT could Dr. Rowe. of Glla Bend. who had been summoned to atterd Mo Donald.
 The original hearing of Zapeda was set for 10 o'clock in the morning but 1t WIS continued until in the afterno n.
 At that time District Attorney Baker moved to dismiss the charge of shoo'- Ing with intent to commit murder and Zapeda was immediately arrested o1 a
 craree of murder. Re was ara gned
 and at the suggestion of Street & AL eXander, his attorneys. the case was sef for 2:S0 o'clock next Manday.'
 Justice Root brought With him sev- eraI interesting exhibits and documen- s which were turned over 70 the court. One of them is the revolver with which Mcnon>ld WIS shot. another the bull let which was found buried in the frame of the bar mirror after having passed through McDonald's ne k.
 There was also the dying statement of Mcdonald and the letter which Zar noca had written to the wife of Me- Donald and which caused all the trou-
 h!e. Beside these documents the-e
 was the verdict of the coroner's jury.
 The nature of the letter which Zl-
 oeda wrote to Mrs. Mcdonald wi-l rot
 oe made known until it is put in ct the
 e~anoination- if It should be admit e1 then. II will perhaps be the most in- teresting document which will figure

Zapeda explained that { he had made no indecent proposal but that the object of tLe letter was to ! learn the whereabouts of q man by t Q { n9mc Of Hinson. with whom sse h7d rome relation.

in danger and that he could have hal no reasonable fear. They say that when he entered the saiooa he called MpDonald a vile name and drew h. gun: that Mcdonald told him to put the weapon up, that he was not afraid of it, ard that Zapeda then fired.
