A MAORI LEGEND.


The Story of How TIE KuDe Diseov-
cred New Zealand.
The Maoris are not the aborigines Of
New Zealand This Is the story Of
their coming as told by legend hand
ed down from chief to chief from gen.
Grafton to generation:
TIE Kupe, a priest, lived on an island
called Kawaiki, supposed to be Ha-
wall. He incurred the displeasure Of
his chief and was compelled to flee for
his life. He secured a canoe and,
stocking it with provisions, padded out
to sea, leaving his home and his
friends. as he thought. forever. He
was mourned as dead, but about year
later he returned with glowing story
Of a wonderful country he had dis
covered He gave graphic accounts Of
its mighty forests, it's burning noun
tains, steaming lakes and huge birds.
The story caused the widest excite
ment among his people, who hailed TIE
Kupe as god, and preparations were
at once made to explore this magic
country. Seven large canoes were
built and stocked with provisions and
water, and a party Of islanders, d.
rected by TIE Kupe, set forth on their
adventurous journey. In time they
reached the place he had described, and
TIE Kupe's canoe, the Aotea, was the
first to touch the shore; hence the
Maori name "Aotearoa" was given to
New Zealand.
Just when this took place Is one of
the points in the history Of these peo-
pie that are lost in the shadowy mem
cries Of the past, but it is supposed to
have been about 800 years ago. The
Maoris Of today always refer to Ha-
wall as the fatherland, and there is a
native proverb. Il kune mai Hawaih
to kune kai tie tangata" (''The seed Of
our coming is from Hawaikf'').

When the boys returned from their
camping trip and the remnants of their
equipment were unpacked the mother
noticed that the large box of pepsin
tablets which she had added to the
equipment in moment of thoughtful
ness was missing. She asked the
eighteen-year-old about it at the dinner
table.
why, we took them ALL" he said.
Something in his voice made her pur-
sue her inquiry.
But you said you were all well"
I'VE were"
"And you never take the tablets at
home, even when l want you tor
"N-no."
And there were enough of them to
last several men longer than you were
in camp"
Eyes, yes. Well, 1t was this way:
Tom and 1 took turns cooking, and
when l ate the first meal he cooked 1
was afraid something might happen, so
l got out the box and took pill. He
didn't; but the next day, when / cook
ed, he took two at each meal l didn't
The stuff was all right, but his food the
third day gave me pain, and l took
three. To be mean he took four the
next day. They gave out when we had
been in camp ten days."-New York
Tribune.

When Alexandra Dumas pere was at
the summit of his ambition as an au-
thor he said, 81 wish to finish my lit
erary career by writing a cookbook"
and in 1873 he wrote the Grand Dic-
tionaire de Cuisine" This book is as
full Of the whimwhams of the man Of
genius as his novels are. The season
ing used is trifle strong for refined
gastronomic tastes Of today. 1t is bet
ter suited, of course, to the ennuiSd
palates Of men Of the world than to
those used to family cooking" Oys-
tiers "a la Alexandra Dumas" will serve
as a specimen recipe: Mix large half
teaspoonful of white pepper and a
heaping teaspoonfui of salt together.
Add this mixture to shallot chopped
fine Add also teaspoonful Of chop
ped chives and half a teaspoonful Of
minced parsley. Mix lightly together
and pour in teaspoonful Of olive oil.
Add six drops Of tabasco sauce, salt
spoonful of Worcestershire sauce and a
gill of vinegar. Serve the sauce on raw
oysters, pouring little of it on each
one as you serve them

papers. There was a theater Ticket In
one of the pockets, and he had gone to
the theater in the hope that the ticket
might have been used and thus furnish
a clew
He had been surprised to find her
there He had remembered her on the
car that afternoon, and just for mo-
ment he was almost persuaded Of her
guilt
"Can you ever forgive me for making

81 do forgive you," she answered
readily. ut was my fault for buying
cheap tickets, but you see cannot af-
ford them unless get them at cut

"And have spoiled your evening""
he cried contritely. II will send you
seats for later If may"
She was about to refuse when the
door was flung open and the detective
entered with the man from whom she
had purchased the ticket.
This was too easyI" he cried jubi-
lantly. HE was so sure that we could
not spot him that he didn't even try to
get rid of the wad"
He showed Temple a pocketbook, ex-
planning that it must be held as evil
dence, and then turned to Marion.
''You may CO." he said roughly. Eve
won't need you, guess, but you'd bet

ut will be too late to return to the
theater, but if you will permit me

Silently she took his arm, and togeth-
er they passed out Of the station. The
desk sergeant entered upon the blotter

until some time later was an official
record made of the fact that Cupid had
made another arrest.

She held up her hand. please don't

In silence Quincy rowed toward the
shore. There were little points Of light
along the beach; Jack was burning
In the bow OF one of the boats, and
Ray gave little cry.
They are just starting out to search
the lake." she exclaimed. Hail them
and tell them you have me-"
In the excitement that followed there
was no time for tender passages, but
late that evening Quincy sat on the
shore smoking his lately despised pipe
and watching the ripples breaking the
silyery pathway of the moon From
one of the tents crept little figure In
a gray dressing gown She snuggled
down beside Quincy and took his hand
in hers, resting 1t against her cheek

cried Il should not have left you"

moon partly hid her bushes, III you'll

Quincy bent and kissed the upturned
lips, but he had his own ideas about
the meekness.

Quincy leaned against the cushions
Of the sofa in the smoker and pulled
at his cigar. 1t was the first he had
had in six weeks, and he wondered
how he could have declared that first
night in camp that nothing could equal
a brier pipe for sweetness.
Then that dinner at the noon stop
none Of your ash coated meat, but real
cooked food. Now he was rushing
along, and by the time the lights were
lit the roar of the city would be In his
ears-pleasant music after the stiffness
Of the woods. Altogether he was glad
that he had cut his vacation short.
OF course he was sorry that his sud-
den return was due to bis quarrel with
Ray, but Ray Powell was such an i'm
possibly Independent young woman.
On the whole, he was glad of the quar-
rel. He was quite certain of that.
He was quite certain, but for all
that his cigar had lost its favor and
was guttering down one side In a way
no good cigar should do, and there was
In his nostrils, in place of the heavy
fumes of the leaf, the soft odor Of the
pine. 1t was as If the voice of the
woods called to him.
He could see Rays pleading face as
he left her last night. 1t had been only
a trifie over which they had quarreled.
She had insisted upon going on the
lake In canoe, and he, mindful OF the
sudden gusts Of wind that swept It's
surface, had declared that she must
not do so without one of the guides.
She had announced her ability to take
care of herself, and he, In a sudden
burst Of passion, had retorted that in
that case he supposed his presence in
camp to be more than useless and had
gone away to arrange for a return to
town In the morning.
They had come around by the road,
necessitating an early start, and he had

He sat on the end of the pier, his
broad back against stanchion and
bis long legs dangling over the water.
He was vigorous, athletic young fell
low, with calm gray eyes and a Jaw
that suggested stubbornness. Near by
on little rail that ran along one side
of the pier, sat a girl In white, with q
bit Of color In her sunburned cheeks
and a touch of angry fire in her eyes.
Below them the calm water of the lake
reflected the red glow Of the western
sky. A small sailboat and a canoe,
tied to the pier, lay motionless on tho
mirrorlike water.
And why, pray" said the girl petu-
lantly, cant we start now? It's a
long sail to the island, and we shall be
late"
Il want to make sure Of that fell

to a dull gray cloud just showing an
edge In the southwest.
The girl laughed mockingly. You're
not afraid of that?" she asked.

various times here" he replied. 'They
imbued me with very wholesome re-
spect for their kind"
II didn't think you were the sort Of
man to be afraid of cloud" she said

a Fight Among the Kuras.

Colonel P. H. H Massey tells Of this
battle which he witnessed In the course
Of his explorations In Asiatic Turkey.
The cause of the fight was an attempt
ed theft of sheep. He says: Some
f1ocks were being driven of across the
Sipkanli Kurds' border when the usual
alarm signals, shots fired and smoke
fires kindled at all the villages around,
brought clouds of horsemen galloping
wildly across In that direction. This
did not look very reassuring In the mid
die Of so wild country. where hui
man life is never worth that Of good
sheep but we soon perceived, by the
yelling Kurds with grinning faces who
dashed past US, that to us no harm was
intended
I'VE reached the village not far from
which the battle was raging to find the
fat roofs occupied by all the women.
Quite regardless Of stray bullets they
followed the fiuctuating fortunes OF
their side amid the din Of their own
shrill tongues, which almost drowned
the laundering reports of the Kurdish
powder, anything but noiseless or
smokeless.
1T was soon over. The focks were
triumphantly brought back, together
with the bodies Of a few dead Kurds
and some others wounded We passed
on amid the wailing of the women just
widowed in fight for few sheep"

Circumstances beyond our control
sometimes oblige US to meet brilliant
people. Secretly we may feel desire
to avoid them, but there Is a certain
pride which compels US to appear at
ease in their company even Though we
never were more uncomfortable. The
man who bristles with information
may not be unnecessarily unkind. We
are, 1t is true, obliged to listen to him,
and it is always wise to be on our
guard against revealing the fact that
we know anything at all lest he have
the opportunity, which he dearly loves,
Of correcting US. We can In a measure
throw ourselves on his mercy, and If
we have an ordinary constitution we
may happily survive his attacks Of
knowledge. But when a brilliant per-
son rises upon our horizon there is lit
tie hope for US. If he does not hull US
at once with a straight shot he will
worry US to death by a fusillade of
repartee and leave us a wreck to drift
away to some friendly port of dizziness
where we can be nursed back to our
mediocre existence.-Life.

Goodby to the sergeant.

Doherty was drilling with his squad
Of recruits In London. Doherty was
nearly six feet two inches in height,
and at that time the sergeant major
was man whose height was only five
feet four inches. On this day he ap-
preached the squad looking sharply
about him for some fault to find.
All the men squared up except Do
herty, and the sergeant major at once
accosted him.
Head up there, manT called he.
Doherty raised his head slightly.
up higher, sir!'
The head was raised again. Then the
sergeant major managed by standing
on his toes to reach Doherty's chin, and
he poked 1t higher. with the remark:
THAT'S better. Don't let me see your
head down again"
By this time everybody was interest
ed at seeing Doherty staring away
above the sergeant majors head, when
a voice from above said in a rich
brogue:
Am 1 to be always like this, SER
geant maJorT
Eyes, SIR"
"Then I'll say goodby to ye, sergeant
major, for I'll niver see ysz again.

STAGE TRICKS.
How Some of the Seemingly DiMcult
Feets Are Performed.

How Some of the Seemingly DfGaeuHt
Feats Are Performed.
When you see man come out on the
stage and shoot the ashes of a cigar
which is being smoked by an assistant
don't believe all you see. A hatpin il
run through the cigar, the point just
reaching the ash. The assistant just
pushes the knob at the other end, and
down falls the ash to great applause.
OF course only blank cartridges ara
used.
Breaking two glass balls with two
pistols Is almost as simple. One Of the
pistols only is loaded and with shot
The other has a blank cartridge. The
loaded pistol is aimed between the two
balls, and the shot scatter. breaking
them both. That's the trick
Distinguishing several numbered can
dies by number on request of the au-
dience is seldom more than a hollow
joke. Behind each candle is a hole in
the target An assistant hidden behind
it simply blows out the candle, taking
care to blow the right candle at the right
time-that U.s. when the pistol cracks
Blindfold shooting simply means that
the performer glances down his nose to
a mirror fixed at an. angle behind the
back sight and aims as straight this
way as If the bandage were not there.
Painting complete picture in jiffy
In presence of the audience is also arti-
fee. What looks to you like an immac-
ulate and untouched canvas is In real
ity finished picture covered with
whitewash All the artist does is to
simulate painting with his brush. The
result is picture that would require
IL it were honestly done at least a days
work.
Those awfully heavy looking dumb
bells of the strong man are sometimes
somewhat hollow at the core You will
notice they are always put In the same
place, preferably on special platform,
when the man from the audience Is in
vited to lift them. Under the platform
are powerful magnets holding the
weights down. Suddenly roll the bar
or the platform, and you can probably
lift it in one hand, as that operation
releases 1t from magnetic control

The Archinr Yucca Tree.

In the antelope valley of California
grows the strangest yucca tree Of all
the western desert The yucca Is a
tree not given to whims. 1t has been
described by Van Dyke as having "a
tall stalk rising like a shaft from a
bowl and capped at the top by nodding
creamy flowers" But the strange arch
ing yucca has made itself famous by
its curious form. Nobody watched 1t
grow. All that is known about 1t is
that it has two roots, its great stalk
or trunk describing graceful arch,
rooted firmly into the ground at each
end At the top of the arch a great
branch, like an extended arm, shoots
forth as IL pointing out the way. The
arch is so high that a tallyho coach
could easily pass under it.

towers and five gates. Over the prin-

ed In 1926, Russian emperors have
been crowned for 300 years In the

The legend Of the food as told by the
Moros Is as follows:
when the forty days and nights OF
rain came No and his family got into a
box. One pair of each sort Of bird and
beast also came In. Men who were
busy with their ordinary occupations
and did not enter the box were over
taken by the food. Those who ran to
the mountains became monkeys; those
who ran to the water, fish The China

and would not stop was changed into a
fish called a dugong, and her limbs can
