One of the interesting localities of
tradition, famed in Hawaiian song and
story of ancient days, is situate at
the southwestern point of the island
of Lanai, and known as the Kupapau
Puupehe, or Tomb of Puupehe. At
the point indicated, on the leeward
coast of the island, may be seen a
huge block of red lava about eighty
feet high and some sixty feet in dia
meter, standing out in the sea, and
detached from the mainland some fifty
fathoms, around WHICH centers the fol
lowing legend.
Observed from the overhangng bluff
that overlooks Puupehe, upon the sum
nit of this block or elevated islet,
would be noticed a small inclosure
formed by a low stone wall. This is
said to be the last resting place of a
Hawaiian girl whose body was buried
there by her lover Makakehau, a war
rior of Lanai.
was tH0 odttSs hLIl bI S"ues
petty chief, one of the dependents of
the king of Maui, and she was won
by young Makakehau as the joint prize
of love and war These two are de-
seribed in the Kanikau, or Lamenta
ton, of Puupehe, as mutually captive,
the one to the other. The maiden was
a sweet flower of Hawaiian beauty. Her
glossy brown, spotless body shone like
the clear sun rising out of Haleakala.
Her flowing, curly hair, bound by
wreath of lehua blossoms, streamed
forth as she ran Flike the surf crests
scudding before the wind And the
starry eyes of the beautiful daughter
of Uaua blinded the young warrior, so
that he was called Makakehau, or Misty
Eyes.
The Hawaiian brave feared that the
comeliness of his dear captive would
cause her to be coveted by the chiefs
of the land. His soul yearned to keep
her all to himself He said "Ler us

The meles tell of their love in the
Pulou ravine, where they caught the
bright iiwi birds, and the scarlet apa-
PAM. All, what sweet joys in the ba-
mana groves of Waiakeakua, where the
lovers saw naught so beautiful as them
selves, But the "misty eyes were
soon to be made dim by weeping and
DINNER. till the drowning brine should
close them forevermore.
Makakehau left his love one day in
the cave of Malauea while he went to
the mountain spring to fill the water
gOurds with sweet water. This cavern
yawns at the base of the overhanging
bluff that overtops the rock of Puupehe.
The sea surges far within, but there is
an inner space which the expert swim
mer can reach, and. where Puupehe had
often rested and baked the honu, or
sea turtle, for her absent lover.
This was the season for the Kona,
the terri fic storm which comes up from
the equator and hurts the ocean in in
creased volume on the southern shores
of the Hawaiian Islands Makakehau
beheld from the rock springs of Pulou
the vanguard of a great Kona-seuds
of rain and thick mist, rushing with
bowling wind, across the valley of Pa
laval. He knew the storms would fill
the cave with the sea and kill his love.
He flung aside his cakbashes of water
and ran down the steep. then across
the great valley and beyond its rim
he rushed, through the buffetings of
the storm. with an agonized heart, down
the hill slope to the shore.
The sea was up indeed. The yeasty
foam of mad surging waves whitcned
the shore The laundering buffet OF
the charging pillows chorused with the
howl of the tempest. All. where should

a war of matter, battle of the
elements to thrill with pleasure the
hearts of strong men, But with one ::
love in the seething gulf of the whirl
pool, what would be to him the sublime
cataract? What, to see amid the boil
ing foam the upturned face, and the
dear, tender body of ones own and
only poor dear love, all magled? You
might agonize on the brink; but Maka-
kehau sprang into the dreadful pool
and snatched his murdered bride from
the jaws of an ocean grave.
The next day, fishermen heard the
lamentation of Makakehau, and the
women of the valley came down and
walled over Puupehe. They wrapped
her in bright new kappa. They placed
upon her garlands of the fragrant anna u
(gardenia). They prepared her for
burial, and were about to place her in
the burial ground of Manele, but Maka-
kehau prayed that he might be left
alone one night more with his lost
love. And he was left as he desired.
The next day no corpse nor weeping
dover were to be found, till after some
search Makakehau was seen piling up
stones on the top of the lone sea tower.
The wondering people of Lanai looked
on from the neighboring bluff, and some
sailed around the columnar rock in their
canoes, still wondering, because they
could. see no way for him to ascend,
for every face of the rock is per-
pendicular or overhanging. The old be-
lief was, that some akua, Kanekoa, or
Keawemauhili (deities), came at the
cry of Makakehau and helped him with
the dead girl to the top.
When Makakehau had finished his
labors of placing his lost love in her
grave and placed the last stone upon it,
he stretched out his arms and walled
for Puupehe, thus:
4" Where are you, o Puupehe?
Are you in the cave of Malauea?
Shall [ bring you sweet water,
The water of the mountain?
Shall / bring you the uawau,
The pala, and the oheloa
Are YOU baking the honu
And the red sweet hala?
Shall pound the kala of Maui?
Shall we dip in the gourd togetherl
The bird and the fish are bitter.
And the mountain wafer is sour.
| shall drink it no more;
7 shall drink with Aipuhi,
The great sh9k of Manele. -
Ceasing his sad wall, Makakehau
leaped from the rock into the boiling
surge at its base. where his body was
crushed in the breakers. The people
who bebeld the sad scene secured the
mangled corpse and buried it with re-
speet in the Kupapau OF Manele.

Properly cared for. Professor Sam.
uel Fraser OF Cornell experiment Sta.
ton considers alfalfa one OF the hes,
crops that farmers can produce. On
Professor Fraser's farm are some Oh
pasture lands. with which he has tried
various plans OF renovation. The sim
plest plan he finds is TO harrow and
sow about dollars worth Of grass
seed per acre annually for two or
three years In succession. using blue
grass and white clover. professor
Samuel Fraser is great believer in
clover as a foundation crop. He
thinks a good crop OF clover plowed
under with half lUn OF lime per acre
is better than ten tons OF barnyan
manure and ahead OF any commercial
fertilizer as a crop producer. The
poorest soils on the place under this
treatment give better crops than The
