YEARS OFTEN REQUIRED

Person.
Interesting Account Of Remarkable
People is Given at the Marion
Family Theater.

Born in the wilds of Northern New
Zealand. among cannibals of the
worst sort, adopted when he was
twelve years of age by an English
lady of wealth who was struck with
his appearance and manner given
the best education that money could
procure, graduated from Christ
Church University with high honors,
and the degree of Master of Arts
when quite young, and for over a
quarter of century an educator
whose aim has been to upllft and civ
ilize his countTymen. Such is a
short biography of Rawei Ca Maori
New Zealand native) who with his
picturesque family is appearing at
the Marion Family theatre this week
in novelty act portraying South
Sea Island native life.

persons are removed and carefully
preservew by a secret drying and
smoking process, after which they
are numbered and arranged on large
tables in burial cave, where they
remain I'm a perfect condition for
hundreds of years.
The study Of the various patterns
traced upon these heads Is one of
considerable difficulty and of corre-
spending interest Where the Maoris
took the idea of his spirals and
curves from is question open to
discussion but there is no doubt
that he is a painstakiug and conscien-
tious craftsman in imprinting them
on his subject. No black and white
draughtsman. no woodcutter, etcher
or line engravers among Europeans
works with slower deliberation. Inch
by inch the lines are cut or pricked
out on the quivering, but inflinching
human copper plate
The blood Is wiped away with a
little scraped flax, and the blue die
or stain rubbed in. In the course of
weeks, months or years. as leisure or
endurance permits, the work is COM
plete.
Mr.. Rawei and his family are cul-
tured and gifted people and their
coming to Marion has awakened in
terest in one of the most interesting
of all semi-savage races.

Puts Stop to Half Holiday
Plan.
CLERKS NOT SATISFIED
Claimed They Tried to Die
tate to Employers.
Merchants Who were Making Plans
for the Next Yoar Put Lid on for
Good.

Because they tried to dictate to
their employers the retail clerks
OF the ,ay will not get another half
day off as was announced some time
ago nor will any effort be made by
the employers to have the store clos
ed one afternoon week next sum
mer as was originally intended.
About August ! the Merchant S
association decided to enter into an
agreement to close all of the retail
stores in the city at noon the last
two Wednesdays in the month
The idea was favorably received by
all Of The merchants who were
anxious to give their clerks cou-
pie of half holidays in addition to
their regular vacations,
Many Of the clerks, il is said,
didn't take favorably TO the idea
Of closing two half days and they
demanded that the employers select
} a date on which to close during the
entire day. Despite ths controversies
the stores were closed week ago
last Wednesday but last Wednesday
they were open as usual and 1T is
stated that the other half holiday
will not be given.
"'T think that the clerks acted in
n very peculiar manner" said n
prominent business man this morn
ingl "The eployers tried to give
them two half holidays during the
month hut they wanted to have
things their way and demanded a
whole day. The result was that
they got one half holiday but they
will not get the second one.
1t was for the purpose of the
association in arranging for the
halr holidays this year to follow it
lby securing an agreement TO close
all of the stores in the city every
| Wednesday afternoon during June
July and August of next year. The
Iemployers are able TO get away for
a day or half day whenever they
choose but the clerks are not. The
employers arranged the half holiday
for the benefit Of the clerks IN
addition TO their regular vacations
but the clerks did not want them
so the idea viii be dropped for all
time.
