democrats about 1a,0l0 votes, the pro

To their surprise. many moons later,
he came back as one returned from
another world But the story he
brought was even more surprising
than his appearance. He told them
in glowing language Of a wonderful
country which he had discovered to-
wards the south. He spoke of its
richness and the strange things he
there beheld-huge forests. burning
mountains. steaming lakes. gigantic
moa birds. AS the story of some new

TIE Kupe's canoe kept in advance OF
the others and led the way. Days
passed 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 its occupants to New Zealand.
At what period this took place IL
unknown. 1t is one of those interest
ing events in connection with their
history which has been lost in the
dim vista of the past. But the Maoris
today invariably refer to Hawsiki as
the fatherland OF their race. Hence
the native proverb: 81 kune mai !

THE seed of our coming is from
Hawaiki. the birthplace Of man."
The genius of the Maori people is
simply marvellous. They seem to have
a natural gift for carving. Without
mathematical instruments the true
ness of the lines and OF the figures is
astonishing. Their canoe-heads are
fine specimens OF such carving.
