Quoting "Dimitriy V. Masterov" <[email protected]>:

"In general, you can't use the same option again; only one legend(...) per 
graph is allowed."


Only one physical legend on the graph, but any number of calls to it.

Try:

line le_m le_f year,  legend(pos(3))   legend(col(1))   legend(lab
(1  "Males"))  legend(lab(2   "Females")) legend(ring(0))

no doubt inefficient, but syntactically OK.
