DISCOVERY OF MAPLE SYRUP

The legend of the discovery of
maple syrup is curious one, and
one of national importance to those
of us who are real Americans, for
it was of our native Indian chiefs
who made this discovery, according
to the legend. The chief instructed
his squaws to cook a piece al uen;-
son tor his sole eniey@fTerrt on his
retu@,r from the chase. After put
ting the meat to cook in water OBJ
tanned by melting snow, the squaw
became so absorbed in making a
pair of moccasins for her husband
that she let the meat burn, as many
more civilized women have done
since. Also, like the modern house,
wife, she was ready to meet the
emergency. AS there was no time
to melt snow again she bethought
herself Of the water running fiom
from the maple tree behind the wig
wan. This she poured in with teh
meat. The hunter was delayed in
his coming so that when he returned
there was nothing but sticky mass
in the bottom of the pot. Fearing a
storm, the guilty squaw hid when
she heard her husband coming, hut
hearing no outburst she ventured
forth and found the lusty chief ut
terly oblivious of everything about
him except the pot, which he held
between his knees, eating the con-
tents with the utmost delight and
licking his fingers with gnsto. This
was the first dish of maple syrup
served and was Il fortunate discov
cry for our torefathers, for history
tells us that as far back as 1890 the
first maple syrup and sugar were
made in Vermont, and for many
years the output was nearly one
third OF what was made in the
country. Nearly every well-to-do
farmer in those days owned his own
sugar camp, and every member of
the family was called on to lend
hand in sugar-making time.

Farmer Killed by a Falling Tree.

William Sweeney, prominent
farmer of Leicester, was found dead
IN the woods Wednesday, having
been killed by a falling tree. He
left home in the morning for the
wood lot, and not returning when
expected, a man was sent to look for
him at o'clock. He found Mr..
Sweeney's body pinned under large
tree which he had cut down. Evil
IDENTITY he was killed early in the day,
as only two trees had been cut. Mr..
Sweeney was about 40 years old
and is survived by wife and three
daughters.

THE OUTSIDE VIEW.

To our thinking, the returns from
Tuesdays elections. upon the most
prominent of local issues are very
satisfactory, says the Eoston Tra.ns'
cript, referring to the .~e,tt III Yer
mont. Ii"Iy muicate that the peo-
pie are emerging from that political
apathy which is almost inseparable
from a condition OF 1oregone concIu-
sions. A state without vital issues
that regularly appeal to popular in
terests is in danger of degeneration
and stagnation. There no vigilance
is required; where the same general
results are sure year after year, with
out effort or struggle, the situation
drifts toward paralysis. Vermont's
experience last year was corrective
t..a ,.n~iaiiy Wholesome. she shook
pit her sleep of. a generation and
eSse 20 reai'izzairon1 Of something
definite. The old order of Things
were changed; new issues demanded
more discriminating alignments, and
we saw what had not been witnessed
in many years before, an active and
interesting campaign.
The results Of the years voting
are vindication of the local option
law quite as much as were those OF
last year. They show the people OF
those towns that desire no license that
the remedy is in their own hands
There is no danger that something
which they do not desire will be su.
perimposed upon them by their
neighbors, as was the case under the
old prohibitory law, and as long as
there is II single city or town in the
state that desires license, there re-
mains the Justification Of the local
option law. Even if every city and
town should vote no-hcense, there
would still be warrant for maintain
ing the law, because public sentiment
changes from year to year. 1t is
quite likely that by another spring we
shall see evidence of this, though we
do not expect to see the license vote
again attain the proportions which it
reached last year. Vermont now has
rational working system that ought
to make her less of hermit state
than she has been.

THE COLD WAVE. 1904.
l.. ELSIE ATWOOD.


The wooded hills IN old Vermont
Lay wrapt in peaceful slumber.
The mountain streams bound up with ice
Wended their silent courses.
The smoke curled up in lazy style
From farmhouse snugly coy,
Tho COWS were safely housed aud warm;
The calves and sheep wit hin their pens
In I'm content are waiting, y
The farmer. singing as he worked.
Shook ont the hay and clover
And in the forests round about
The woodm ms axe was ringing
The rdmping b, ys let out from school
We're coasting down the highways
The mill pond frozen over sound
Held up the merry skaters.
The children small content Ia slide
Along the little hy-ways.
The sleighbclls iingled. aud the swain
His first girl took ont riding
Aud all exclaimed, AZ in one breath,
"Oh, what good old wntef"
The joyful Christmas came and went,
The glad New Year close after
And all was merr', all was we'll,
When. oh. that cold wave struck u.
For days and days it seemed ike We ks.
Tee mercury kept q sinking.
We think that zero's right down cold.
But when it comr' to ramble
From ten to twenty, thrty. forty,
And then does calmly amble.
TO sixty farther down the line,
We give II up and say. such things
Were ne'er known in Vermont before"
Along the old Connecticut
The frozen moonbeams slanted
In the valley of the White river
Jack Frost his cour. assembled.
But he. himself came up to roost
Among the Ottauquechee's branches.
In towns and villages they kept
The furnace, humping.
All business stopped. the schools weru
closed.
But the plumber kept a jumping.
The farmers huddled DER the fire.
The chunk stoves Just n roaring.
| In some old houses. I've becu told
They opened up the huge fireplaces
And rolled the great logs in.
The lazy man for once. dear friends.
Did set his pow ne a humming,
Because his wife could not chop wood
enough
To keep her hrd from freezing
The cattle shook within the barns.
The horse his teeth did chatter.
The waste pipes burst. and DER the floor
The water ian in puddles.
Or else. worse Mck. it left us, bag and bag
gage.
All. inc, tits over now, but we, through all
the winter.
Must Jug our water from the brook
And melt w snow for Washing,
And Grive the cattle to the pond
Their eager thirst to slacken.
But let us u Vt down hearted be,
Just turn our thoughts toward spring.
The April showers, the sweet May flowers,
When BIRDS do sweetly carol.
And the dear old mountains" towering
high,
Are Just us green" rs ever.
