Mankind's Yearnins.

Doctor Mayo, the celebrated, says
modern medicine now makes it pos
sible for the average person not'only
to add years to his life, but also TO
add life to his years." You're telling
us, doctor. What we have always
said and now reaffirm is that what
we want (average man or mott the
doctors to do is to keep us alive
to the age of ninety with the physique
of not more than fifty. Personally,
we think it would avail US little il
we reached the years attained by
grand old men, if every joint creaked,
our vision was such that we almost
saw men as trees walking and we
could not remember the name of the
great aunt who used to knit wrist
lets for us every Christmas. We set
the goal for the doctors and our own
goal. Not merely years upon years,
but the retardation of old age.

GOLDEN RULE IN
PLACE OF REIGN
OF SELFISHNESS

Recently we heard a learned pub
licist discoursing eloquently on the
joys of human service. He pictured
the great satisfaction he had himself
experienced in doing things for others
In fact he was so pleased with the
idea that he urged everybody to i'm
itate his example.
Here was good man who thought
he had discovered something new.
He was as tickled with his discovery
as boy with new pair of skates.
He was almost as proud as if he had
found the secret of perpetual motion.
Evidently he didn't realize that all ne
had done was to rediscover the Gold
en- Rule. Very likely he didn't know
that Jesus had laid down this rule as
one of the foundation principles of
Christianity, and that Socrates and
many other great moral leaders in
different ages had preached the same
thing.
This man has probably never lived
in the country or in small town,
where people all know their neigh
bors and where they have to be mutu-
ally helpful. He has probably always
lived in cities, where the people are
so self-satisfied that they will have
nothing to do with their next door
neighbors. Suddenly the realization
has come to this man that life of
SNUG isolation and personal seclusion
and selfishness is wrong, and that hu
man beings should think more about
their brothers. To this man this feel
ing has come as new revelation, and
he is so enthusiastic about his dis
covery that he thinks he has found
the universal key to peace and hap
piness. This is splendid. The more
leaders there are who get up and
preach such doctrines the better
things are going to be. The world

needs new enthusiasms like that. It
was just such a sudden revelation as
that which made the apostle Paul
turn from business and go to preach
ing and making converts. 1t is q
great gain when we behold our pub
lie men urging people to hold out a
helping hand to their fellow beings,
without stopping too much to count
the cost. Even If they imagine they
have discovered something new, we
do not need to quarrel with them.
They should be encouraged and up
held in every way.-Pathfnder Maga-

The "Duke of Cimarron"


a THOUGH titles of nobility have
no place In our democratic form
of government, sometimes Americans
by common consent confer upon some
outstanding person such title, even
though it is not officially recognized.
This is the story of such a person, of
Lucian B. Maxwell, the Illinois and
Missouri farm boy and wandering
trapper who became the Duke of
Cimarron."
Born in Kaskaskia, H., he accompa-
MED his parents across the Mississippi
river into Missouri while still a boy.
At Arrow Rock on the Missouri, then
the eastern terminus of the Santa Fe
trail, the boy saw the great wagon
trains depart for the New Mexican
capital and his imagination was fred
by the tales of the riches to be found
in the Southwest. Thither he went in
1871. but the hoped-for wealth did NOT
come to him Immediately.
He was first trapper, then a hunt
er, then guide for General Fremont
The turn in his fortunes came in
1914 when he married Juanita Beau
bien, the daughter of Charles Beau
bien, a French Canadian who had gone
to Taos in 1927 as agent with Guadu-
lupe Miranda for the American Fur
company. In return for services to the
Mexican government Miranda and
Beaubien were given a large grant Of
land in northeastern New Mexico, but
soon afterwards Miranda sold his
share to Beaubien, who soon became
known as Don Carlos Beaubien."
After Maxwell's marriage to Juan
ita, Don Carlos made the young Amer.
lean 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. It stretched along the Cimar-
ron river for distance of so miles
and comprised over quarter of mil.
lion acres. On it he built huge low.
rambling house and other structures.
Here he lived like feudal baron
dispensing lavish hospitality TO all who
came that way-army officers, Indian
chiefs, explorers. trappers. traders and
settlers. In his retinue of retainers
were hundreds of white men, Mexi.
cans, Indians and half-breeds tending
his flocks and herds. For awhile the
Duke Of Cimarron" prospered, then
his spendthrift ways began to impov.
erish him. But the discovery of gold
on his land brought new prosperity
and a new era of extravagant living.
Again his fortunes began to decline
and he decided to sell his estate. Sen
ator Chaffee of Colorado and Wilson
Waddingham bought it for $650.0O0.
Maxwell then went to Las Vegas and
there the Duke of Cimarron" died In
1875 with virtually nothing left of the
vast fortune that had once been his.

Soon this knowledge spread to all the tribes
and every spring saw them gashing the sugar
naples with their hatchets and gathering the
sap In containers made from birchbark. 1t was
then boiled in earthen pots (and 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 were quick to appre-
ciate 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-

life.

"The King of the Missouri"

INSOFAR as the Missouri river Is an
American stream, the man who was
hailed far and wide as The King OF
the Missouri" should have been either
an Indian chieftain or an American.
But he wasn't. He was Scotchmau

British army during the War of 1872
and relative of the famous British
explorer, Sir Alexander Mackenzie.

and both his ancestry and his personal
characteristics had something to do
with his assumption of "kingship" In
the American fur trade. He served
his apprenticeship in the old North
west Fur company which, after bit
ter struggle, was merged with the old
er Hudson's Bay company. When that
happened. Mackenzie lost his job only
to become an associate, and the ablest
one, with Joseph Renville in the Co
lumbia Fur company, whose success
with the Indians in the Northwest
forced John Jacob Aston, head of the
American Fur company, to buy out
Mackenzie and Renville.
Then Mackenzie enlisted under the
A. F. C. banner and quickly rose to
leadership. In 1929 he built Fort
Union at the mouth of the Yellowstone
on the Missouri 1t was to be his job
to develop the fur trade in a region
which the traders from st. Louis, aft
er efforts lasting 20 years, had failed
to exploit. But Mackenzie did it. He
opened trade relations with the hos
tile Blackfeet and in 1881 made
treaty between them, their hereditary
enemies, the Assiniboines, and his
company which stands as one of the
most remarkable exploits in the record
of the relations of red men and white.
From his headquarters at Fort
Union he ruled with an iron hand over
an empire larger than many Euro
