Frenchman, with rueful smile. Il let

them implicitly, never thinking that any

He lighted cigarette. He slipped his

sEQuoYAH THE NEW STATE
Why This Name Was Chosen to Des-
ignate the Former Indian
Territory

In selecting the name Sequoyah for
the new state of what has hitherto been
the Indian territory, the statehood con-
stitutional committee has conferred q
fitting and very proper honor upon one
of the leading members of the Cherokee
nation, who did NOR ethan anyone else
to advance the cause Of education and
civilization among his tribe.
The name Sequoyah to-day is chiefly
associated with the big trees of Califor-
MIA, but when used as botanical name
the word is spelled Sequoia. says the
New York Times. Probably few per-
sons, however, know that SeQuoyah,
from whom the mammoth trees were
named, and who is now to be honored in
the name of state. was the inventor of
the Cherokee alphabet. This famous In-
dian, whose memory deserves to be bet
ter known, was born about 1760, and his
early life was spent in the village of
Tuskegee. Tenn. Among the white men
he bore the name Of George Guess, and
as a young man was noted as success
full hunter and trapper. He possessed an
inventive turn of mind and was skill
full worker in silver ornaments.
On one of his hunting expeditions he
broke his leg, and during his enforced
idleness Sequoyah's attention was di-
rected toward devising an alphabet for
the Cherokee language. He realized the
Importance of written characters among
the white men, and after months of hard
work he submitted to the leading men
of his tribe his alphabet. consisting Of
IS characters.
Sequoyah was laughed at, and even
his wife called him fool for spending
SO much time in making queer charac-
ters. He succeeded. however, in formu.
lating list of characters expressing
every sound in the Cherokee tongue. It
was put to severe test. The mission
aries among the Indians were quick to
appreciate its value, and about 1921
Sequoyah had the supreme satisfaction
Of seeing his alphabet adopted by the
0herokees. With minor changes, Sc
quoyah's characters are in use to-day.
and educators have called his alphabet
one of the most perfect ever devised to
express any written language. Sc.
.ouoyah died in 1S43.
The first printing press to use Sc
quoyan's alphabet was set up at New
Echota, in the Indian territory, and it's
: first issue was copy of the Che. okea
Phoenix, published in Februars. 1928
Within five years Of the acceptance of
the alphabet, over 100000 pages Of
Cherokee literature were printed in the
territory. Sequoyah lived to see mauy
beneficial results accrue from his in1en.
ton, II such 1t can be called. He was
made chief of his tribe and received
many high honors from the red men be-
fore his death. His remains are burisd
in the future state that will bear ais
name.

cess. He turned away from the hand
some house on Park avenue and walked
briskly toward the outskirts of the
city. There was some satisfaction in
crunching the snow under his feet and
in feeling the sting of the splitting
sleet which cut his cheeks, where the
red of angry humiliation burned
through the tan so carefully acquired
on the Minnetonka links. For six
years he had struggled for a position
in society. He had dropped old friends
and cultivated men in whom he felt
no real interest; he had been errand
boy for the matrons and cavalier for
the buds; he had Joined more clubs
! than he could afford and had pinched
in many ways to make up for the ex.
penditures. He had told countless
stories of his life at Harvard, but never
spoke Of his family in Dakota. He had
often referred to incidents of his trip
abroad, without limiting that he had
been tutor to rich youth; he had told
dreamy tales of winter in Mexico,
carefully concealing the fact that he
had been assistant to an invalid archi-
tect. He had talked wittily of plays
and operas, gathering his ideas from
the daily papers rather than from oh.
servation. Indeed. he had done every
thing in his power to seem man Of
the world and favorite in society.
And now-when he had thought his
position assured-when he had
dreamed Of spending John Little's mil.
