we owe the addition OF maple slrup and maple
sugar 10 the Indians There Is ar interesting
legend about the way the red man discovered
maple sugar. According TO the story a certain
woksis. a mighty hunter was out one day In
search OF game and his diligent squaw. whose
name was Moqua. busy embroldering a pair
OF moccaslns 20 surprise him when he came
back home. But she knew. as all wives know.
that In addition TO a surprise she had 10 have
an evening meal awaiting her lord.
So she hastily cut of a piece OF moose meat
and set II 20 boil In the water which ran from
the maple tree at the door OF her tepee-since
the tree nearer than the spring Then she
bent so lnterestedly over her embroidery that
she forgot all about the moose meat and the
sweet water boiled away into a thick. brown
strip and formed a crusted sweetness around
the meat
When woksis returned. he graciously accepted
the moccaslns with their bead-emhroIdered bears
but he exclaimed with delight when his teeth
sank into the daintiest morsel that he had ever
tasted Eagerly he deyoured the meat and called
for the kettle 80 that he could lick IL clean.
Then he went out In his new notwithstanding
never a word about them-and told all his tribe
how Kosekusheth. the heaven-sent Instructor
had taught his MoquR how 10 make delicious
food by boiling the juice OF maple.
Soon this knowledge spread 10 all the tribes
and every spring saw them gashlng the sugar
naples with their hatchets and gathering the
sap In containers made from bIrchbark. II was
then boiled in earthen pots land later. after
the coming Of the white mani In iron kettles
which they obtained from traders into which
heated stones were dropped TO facilitate the
boiling. The early settlers we're quick To appre-
clate this toothsome native delicacy and In many
pioneer home maple sugar was the only sweet
ening ever used. But they improved upon the
Indians method OF making it-mainly In the
matter of cleanliness-and maple sugar time be-

The Duke of Cimarron"

A LTHOCGH titles Of nobility
have no place In our demo
cratic form Of government. some
times Americans by common con-
sent confer upon some outstanding
person such a title. even though II
Is not officially recognized. This Is
the story OF such a person. OF Lu.
clan Il. Maxwell. the Illinois and
Missouri farm boy and wandering
trapper who became the Duke OF
CimarrOn."
Born In Kaskaskia. Ill, he accom-
panied his parents across the Mis-
sissippl river into Missouri while
stIil boy. At Arrow Rock on the
Missouri. then the eastern ter
minus OF the Santa Fe trail, the
boy saw the great wagon trains de-
part for the New Mexican capital
and his Imagination was fred by
the tales OF the riches 10 be found
In the Southwest. Thlther he went
in 1871, but the hoped-for wealth
did not come 10 him Immediately.
The turn In his fortunes came In
1874 when he married Juanita
Beaubien. the daughter Of Charles
Beaubien, a French-Canadian who
had gone 10 Taos In 1927 as agent
with Guadalupe Miranda for the
American Fur company. In return
for services 10 the Mexican govern
ment Miranda and BeaubIen we're
given a large grant OF land in north
ern New Mexico. but soon after
wards Miranda sold his share to
Beaubien. who soon became known
as Don Carlos Beaublen."
After Naxwelrs marriage TO
Juanita, Don Carlos made the
young American manager of his
great ranch. and after Beaubien's
death Maxwell bought out the other
heirs and changed the name of the
estate to the Maxwell Grant. II
stretched along the Cimarron river
for a distance OF 30 miles and COM
prlsed over quarter OF a million
acres. On II he built a huge low,
rambling house and other struc-
lures.
Here he lived like a feudal baron,
dispensing lavish hospitality to all
who came that way-army officers,
trappers, traders and settlers. In
his retinue Of retainers were hun
dreds Of white men, Mexicans. In
dians and half-breeds tending his
flocks and herds. For awhile the
Duke OF Clmarron" prospered, then
his spendthrift ways began to i'm
poverish him. But the discovery
OF gold on his land brought a new
prosperity and new era of extrav-
agant living.
Finally he decided to sell his es-
tate. Senator Chaffee of Colorado
and Wilson Waddlngham bought it
for S6J0O0O. Maxwell then went to
Las Vegas and there the Duke of
Cimarron" died in 1875 with virtu-
ally nothing left Of the vast fortune
that had once been his.

peared today.
Under the direction Of Mrs.

plants is being pushed by the

SALES TAX
Attorney Eta l. Taggart To
Introduce Resolutions at
Meetings This Week

Resolutions favoring the Fed
eral manufacturers sales tax,
sponsored by william Randolph
Hearst, win be introduced at
meetings Of the leading civic or
ganizations this week.
Miss Eta L. Taggart, local at
torney, said she has drawn up
resolutions, in support Of the
measure, which will be introduced
next Friday night at the meeting
of the Society Of Natives Of the
District of Columbia and at that
of the Federation Of Citizens As
sociations the following night.
Already the sales tax drive has
gained momentum throughout the
nation by virtue Of Mr.. Hearst's
interest, and many Of the city's
most prominent civic leaders have
Endorsed 1t.
Miss Taggart. who has been
identified with legislative ana
welfare activities Of the District
for several years, spoke highly
Of the proposed sales tax and
expressed the hope that pressure
from civic organizations through.
out the United States would lead
the way to passage Of legislation
in Congress at this term. She
said:
'sThe more I hear about the
sales tax, the more impressed I
am with It. I think it would
greatly benefit the entire cOun-
try. Poor persons would have
the advantage Of buying medi-
cine, food, and clothing with
out paying q tax. And then,
on the other hand, it would
eventually eliminate the income
tax. I shall introduce resolu.
tions ut these two meetings and
1 am sure favorable action will
follow"
