Range and Papatua
| Maori Legend.
+ ONG. very long ago the god Range.
the sky, and the goddess Papatua,

r ONG, very long ago the god Range,
the sky, and the goddess Papatua,
- the earth, loved one another with
a deep and sincere love- Their union
was so perfect that it was barely pos
sible for the light Of day to come pc
tween them. No tall majestic tree
could grow in the forest. no flower
could open its petals-only the vines
and ereepers spread along the SURFACE
of the earth.
The earth had then no other inhaoi-
tants than the. children OF the goos
Range and Papatua When these chill
dren began to grow up they SUFFERED
from the lack of space and light and
wanted to see their father mount TO
a higher altitude so that they might
get more room and light At first
they tried to persuade him, but he re-
fused to listen to them, saying that
never would he be separated from his
beloved wife Papatua. the earth
When the children found that their
words were of no avail they met and
asked each other:
What are we going to do?"
The god of war, who was cruel and
knew no feeling Of filial love, exclaim-
ed: Let US kill them But this pro-
posal did not appeal to the others,
Though all agreed they must be sepa-
rated.
So Tame, the god of light and the
father OF the forests, who wanted to
see the trees raise their heads. the
birds and insects multiply, proposed
that he should try to lift Range the
sky, that the light of day might
brighten all.
Then Papatua cried: NO. I will
follow my husband" And she called
upon Tame TO abandon his plan. But
Tame refused. He sat down upon his
mother who from that time became
motionless. and sitting on her he
kicked his father away with such force
that he was raised up and has re-
NAMED there ever since.
Range and Papatua cried and sighed.
and their complaints were heart-rend-
ing TO hear.
Tau-hiri the father of the winds?
flew up towards heaven to console his
father and remain with him
Then Papatua. the earth was flooded
with light. and new creatures sprang
from her lap, and plants and trees
began to grow.
Sometimes Tau-hiri and his children
descended from above and attacked
Tame trying to destroy him and his
offspring. But Tame transformed some
of his children into birds, others into
fishes which the earth concealed in
her bosom. but this did not keep Tau
hiri from finding and eating some OF
them. This is the reason why men,
when they ate each other, said to fx-
cuse their behavior.
Have not the gods themselves set
us an example? '
In the meantime Tame the powerful
god of light, continued to beautify and
enrich his mother. the fearth. He

the carrying out of the programme
is beset with unexpected complications,
among which 1 am dead certain to
come to grief
For in buying your wife a present
there are almost insuperable difficult
ties because, in the first place, 1t must
be surprise; and. in the second place,
1t must be exactly what she wants;
and in the third place, it must be
something that you can't possibly af-
ford; and. In the fourth place, it must
square with her idea of rigid economy.
And to fulfill all Of these qualities
requires. more of a mind reader than
the average man is.
Il speak with feeling on the subject.
for have just been through a harrow
ing experience.
My wife's birthday was approach
ing, and the portentious problem of
her birthday present doomed large on
the horizon. With deep guile I listen
ed attentively to her conversation to
see II she would not drop some hint
as to something she particularly want

TO help me out, she discoursed con-
corning dinner rings, from which I
inferred that one of those SOUP plate
affairs was the desire of her heart

that it took 400 good hard plunks to
ouy even fairly nice one I could
III AFFORD to spend so much money,
but reflected on what good, in
dustrious, economical wife my Mary
was, and how often she had worn her
old suit in order that Il might have
new one, and how accomplishing
and generous she had been about
everything. and so I dug down into
my little bank account and came across
with the price of a good ring from
one of the best stores
A Howling Success.
Well, the gift was a bowling sue
cess-at first. Ny wife got I'D in the
night to take another look at it. {. She
showed it to her family, and all the

That lasted about two days.
Then she began worrying about
something. She wanted to know the

ed the bathroom door a few
inches and called out angrily.
"Get me a bath lowell"
Helen hurriedly brought towel and
handed it in to him.
.sWhy on earth can't you keep bath
towels in the bathroom" as he slam
med the door.
For several moments there was loud
splashing of water and then Warren
emerged in his bath robe.
And why, under heavens. don't you
get some bath soap? There's a piece
in there about the size of a birds egg
And there's never enough towels Why
don't you look after things better2"
Helen did not answer with her usual
eager apologies, but said rather coldly:
I'm sorry the bathroom wasn't in
order: but I can't do everything"
Cant do everything" he fumed.
''Why. you've got all day with nothing
to do as far as 1 can see-@
Nothing to do with the baby and

"Oh, that's nothing. You've got Della

that she does it."
HeIen's Goodness Angered Him.
Without answering. Helen rose and
was leaving the room when Warren
flared out again:
Here you've been using my brush,
Haven't I told you to leave my brush
alone?'
You shaved by my dresser this morn
ing because the light was better And
when I wanted my brush you said not
to come near you So I used yours, -
Helen answered still more coldly.
We'll, at least you should have the
decency TO clean it out"
Il was just doing that when you
called for the towels Then Della call

There was something in her cool,
quiet indifference TO his Tuning that
was most unusual and disconcerting.

The Case of H:asty.

No wonder good people at times
become desperate and take the law
into their own hands. Here we
have turned loose upon society
a double murderer red-handed
miscreant who shot down two guests
at his own hotel. And why? Be-
cause, forsooth, they dared to re-
monstrate with their host for
trying to force his way into the bed
room of one of the women OF their
party. Armed to the teeth, the
young ruffian was not content to
kill the man he. claimed was about
to assault him, but having despatch
ed the first victim, he coolly turned
and shot to death another man who
was standing still near by, taking
no part in the encounter, the evl-
dence showed.
Now comes the Solicitor for that
circuit and says that he will not at
tempt to bring this man to- trial for
the second murder because the wit
nesses are scattered and cannot be
located now.
What travesty ON law and JUS
tice that such things are possible IN
a civilized country! The man,
George Hasty, who in the twinkling
of an eye hurled into eternity two OF
his fellow beings-unarmed guests
of his hotel-was given a full and
unconditional pardon by Governor
Blease a few days ago, after having
served less than five years of a life
time sentence.
Suppose it had been your brothers
or sons he ruthlessly slew. Does it
lessen the enormity of the crime
that the victims of his deadly pistol
were poor player-folk, strangers in
strange country, and without
friends or influence?
