OH, and a quenching, scattering eXplo-
sion followed the overthrow of the pot.
What could she do? There was no
water, the melted snow was gone and
she must boil the moose meat before
her lord s return. 1t was growing late
there was no time to melt more snow,
so selling a birch bucket of maple
water that was always tapped il the
spring for its sweet flavor, she filed
the kokh anew and hung il over the
minded fire. Into it she popped the
moose meat and set n cake of pOurdel
corn to bake ON the slab before the
fire. Then she resumed her embroidery
III which the quilts were both needles
and thread.
She was working the totem of her
race, the bear, so different from the
wolves, ea2leT and turtles of other
tribes. Dreaming of her husband s f,l-
turc success in hunt and battle, the
hours passed by; the shadow crept past
tie mark; the fire burned low; the once
juicy meat was shriveled morsel III a
mixture of gummy liquid. When she
saw this, the frightened aquaw ran into
the bushes and hid herself from The
rage of her coming lord.
After n long and silent waiting she
carefully drew near the camp once
more, and what did she see: There
was Woksis devouring the morsel OF
moosemeat, and her wonder was great
when Re deliberately broke the earther
pot and carefully licked out the last
vestige of her spoiled cooking. She
forgot her fears and cried out in sur
prise. When discovering her, Woksi,
said, 30, Moqua, my wise squaw, who
taught thee such marvel of cooking

MAPLE SUGAR LEGENDS.

Maple sugar is a special product Of

virtues of the beautiful. Astounding

gift of the Great Father to his hungry
children. Among the Iroquois there

over the fire. 1t was her pride that
Woksis, her lordly husband, should
sport the gayest moccasins in the tribe,
and many hours did she spend every
day in working with bright-coored
porcupine quilts. For no brave in all

FOUR NAMES MENTIONED
FOR VACANT JUDCESHIP
Speculation As To Who Win Succeed
Judge Brashears Governor
Soon To Appoint

The death of Judge Brashears
naturally gives rise to much specula-
ton as to who will be appointed as
his successor on the Bench. Most
prominently mentioned thus far are
former State Senator Robert Moss
and States Attorney Nicholas H.
Green. Either of these gentlemen
would make efficient jurist. Mr.. Moss
was urged for the ermine at the time
Judge Brashears was appointed by
the late Governor Crothers OF
course the appointment will go To a
Democrat. Looking over the roll OF
attorneys in the city, Messrs. Moss
and Green are viewed as the logical
ones from whom to make the appoint
ment, provided, of course. they would
accept. The Governor will appoint a
successor to serve until the next gem
eral election in November, and then
under the provisions of the law, a
candidate may be placed on the
official ballot for election to fill out
the unexpired term of Judge Bra
shears, which is 1924, as he was
elected for the full term of Is years
in 1909
Bruner r. Anderson, of the
Fourth District, and former Senator
A. r. Brady, of Annapolis, also have
been mentioned for the judgship

DEATH CLAIMS JUDGE
JAMES R. BRASHEARS
Annapolis Shocked by Demise Of
Well Known Jurist
ILL ONLY A SHORT TIME
Acute Uremia Ascribed as Cause
Had a Notable Public
Career

All Annapolis and many friends
throughout the State are profoundly
shocked to learn of the death of Judge
James r. Brashears, for number of
years an associate justice ON the
Bench of the Fifth Maryland Circuit
and who held other important offices,
which occurred late yesterday after
noon at his country estate, Oak
Villa" near Annapolis. He had been
seemingly in robust health and only
few persons knew that he was taken
sick week ago yesterday, although
his ailment at that time was re-
garded as a minor one. Acute
uremia was the cause of death.
Judge Brashears was 50 years old,
and his death makes the third death
of Maryland jurists within a very
short time

WATER FAMINE FEARED.

In a statement in last Wednesdays
Evening Capital the directors of the
Annapolis Water Company called at
tention to the insufficient supply of
water in the reservoirs and explained
bow the present threatened water
famine might have been averted by
holding in storage and making use of
the more than fifty millions gallons
of water that has been let run off to
waste since January because of its
turbid and discolored condition.
1t is the duty of the Water Depart
ment to keep the people of Annapolis
informed and advised about condi-
tions at the water works, and we now
give notice that owing to the present
very serious shortage, all users should
practice the most rigid economy at
present and until the danger is
passed We appeal to each house
holder and consumer to give personal
care to the prevention of all waste
and to use water only when required
for necessary purposes.
Unless they do this the present
alarming shortage may be followed in
the near future by an actual water
famine.
