LEWIS AND cLARK.s BIRD WOMAN

Sacaiawea.

Oregon City Oregon Enterprise: 1t IT,
reasonably certain that Lewis and Clark
in their diary misspelled the name of tho
now famed heroine. ~Sacajawea. Best au-
thorities agree that the u" sound did not
exist in the speech of her own tribe, nor
in that of her captors.
John &. Carson, the well known Port
land pioneer, who has taken a deep in-
terest IN the subject, wrote recently to
John III. Charles of Sioux City. Ia, a
man well versed in Indian lore, for his
views on the spelling and pronunciati ton.
Mr.. Charles declared that "SaKa-Ka-
VIA" was correct, and to fortify him.

Riggs, a mi OF the executive COM
mittee of the South Dakota State Histor-
ical society. and the Oldest missionary on
the river. No man in the state Is better
informed on the language of Indians. Mr..
Riggs writes as follows:
In reply to your inquiry regarding tho
proper spelling. of Lewis and Ciark's
Bird Woman" I would say that /
should spell It sa-Ka-Ka-wia.. My rea-
sons: Undoubtedly the name is OF Gros
yentre and not Of shoshone origin. Bird
Woman was captured by the eros yntre
as a little girl. She became the wife Of
Sharbonais. a French-Indian living with
and Clark found her and they received
her name through her speech. Probably
the name should be spelled with a -
sound of half strength preceding the So
viz: Tsa-Ka-Ka-Wia. but this is straining
at accuracy.
There is no question but that, as YOU
suggest. they were wonderful spoilers,
those Lewis and Clark men. but hoy they
could get a -" sound into the ename
there is no such sound in eros yentre)

not come from the lips of a French inter
prefer. Both you and I know OF the
F~renchman's faculty in numbering a ma
tive language and he always brings in his
French go COMPLIMENTARY.
The best authorities ] know Of support
the spelling I have given. Rev. Mr.. Hall
has reinforced my understanding bv a re-
cent letter. DIR. Washington Matthews,
i think, agrees with me.
The name ends with ''wia," or "weah,''
as Lewis and Clark had 1t, which EQUALS

AS TO MECHANICS.
Given Often for Absurd Reasons and
Generally Thew Stick.


Milwaukee Sentinel: Wonderful how
names stick to a person." SAID the Oh
servant man. There were two nice 1T
tie women in our village who came to call
on us one evening, and we offered them
popcorn which the children had just
brought in from the kitchen. They re-
fused, but not so emphatically as to keep
us. from giving them two heaping plates
of the corn. We kept reiilling the plates
and they kept c%runching all the evening
There was something so funny about II
that / called them the popcorn ladies'.
and the name has stuck to them so that
the whole village knows them by 1t.
Il once knew a man who talked tnces-
sanity in a high pitched voice. and a
bright girl dubbed him the chirper.' The
name was quickly passed around among
the young people. and now the greater
part of his friends know him by thai
name. a dignitied young woman of my
acquaintance goes by the name of 'Whont
to thisd day because when she was 4 little
girl she used TO call herself Mrs. Whont
when she played grown-up ladies, and the
family picked it up. She SIMPLY can !
shake the absurd name.
More than one red-haired man Is known
by the name of pink and philosophically
accepts the title. l have an acquaintance
who holds Il responsible position who Is
known by the name OF 'Dotty.' 1t seems
that one day Il mischievous girl discovered
that he had three prominent dimples. She
promptly dubbed him 'Dotty Dimple.' and
nov, he Is known to all his associates as
'Dotty.' Another man of my acquaintance
is always called 'Bluebeard' because he
| has such a white and thin skin that If he
| does not shave daily his beard shows Blu
! through it. That name, too, came through
a woman's quick wit.
IAN old lady friend of mine is still called
'Peachy' because when she was Il young
| girl she had a complexion like peaches and
| cream. Her brother promptly dubbed her
'Pcachy,' and 'Peachy' she will remain to
| the end of her days. In a certain house
| hold a very feminine little woman is stu
| called 'The Boy because when she was
a young girl she went through a serious
Illness which made 1t necessary to cut her
hair short. Her younger sister said she
was the boy of the family, and the dainty
| lady is still called by that absurd name.
IAN effeminate mar was once called
| Viola by one of the boys in the Office,
| and now we know him by nothing else
| Another one of the boys in the Office Is
| always called 'Chesty,' and though he got
| angry at first, he has cheerfully accepted
| the new name now.
Our b%ookkeeper is always putting in his
oar when it is not at all necessary, and i
think now he will be known until the end
of time as General Butts A friend of
mine who is always called Cheerful does
| not know whether he is called that be-
cause his friends believe he has a cheerful
disposition or because they consider him
a cheerful idiot. But. at any rate, he
can't shake the name"

II BOY PROBLEM.
One Summary of tho Whole Common
sense Gospel Of the Movement.


From Alice Katharine E'allows' Temp
tations to Be Good" In the December Cen
fury: Not long ago, u minister of the adj
vance guard in social ideas, who has a
parish house in one of the most crowded
blocks of New York, was explaining his
work to a visitor interested in the boy
problem.
I'VE have Il club room," he said. where
our older boys and men play pool or BILL
lizards, or have any game of cards they
like that is not gambling"
The visitor, whose religious IDEAS had
not been revised since the rigid days of
her youth. gasped. You don't mean that
you permit those denominations under the
wing of the church," she asked-.in the
shadow of the sanctuary, one might say?"
Certainly, madam was the answer.
w think the devil has had q monopoly
of these amuse,nents long enough. They
are harmless In themselves. The saloon
used them as Il bait for drunkenness and
vice. We use them to tempt boys back &c
morality. You can't fight IL devil who
offers shelter, light, warmth and comfort
to those who have none, with good advic.
and tracts on a cold street corner"
In this one sentence is the whole com.
mon sense gospel of the new movement
to take a boy as he is, not as he ought
to be, and TO give him what he lacks.
