THE NAME OF NoRWAy's KING.
Original Meaning Was "The High One
of the Kin"

As to the uncertainty of the spelling
of the new king of Norway's new
name, a Norwegian authority writes;
The genuine form of the name is
Hakan. Such variations as Hakun,
Hakunn. Hakvin, Latin tiaguinus. |
leave out of consideration The name
is made up of two elements--ha. the
root of har. high; and kon. fi'r konr

of konr was kunr, he of the kyn

According to the Elder Edda poem.
Rigsmal konr was the youngest son OF
Jarl (Earl} who himself was the son
of the god Heimdall Cilluminator mum
DID Konr ungr the young kon, swung
himself by deeds of arms. into the
position of konungr. king. which,
though the old poet knew 1t not, SIM
ply meant the kon-ing, he of the kin
-ingr being suffix indicative OF des-
cert.
Accordingly. the name Hakon
meant originally the high one OF the
XIV and must have been a title for
a prince. a king, before 1t assumed
che exclusive character of a proper
personal name. The old Norwegian
pronunciation OF the "a in ha seems
TO have come close to the sound OF
the English 'ow' in know; but In the
course Of time 1t has broadened into
a sound as nearly as possible identi-
cal with the English 'aw' in hawk.
The % in kon is very nearly equal
to the English % in on. the accent
fails on the first syllable.
I'm modern Norwegian the spelling
of the name Is Haakan caa' equals
avn. But to Judge from the tele-
grams 1t would seem that his majesty

of the name. dropping the accent over

of two continents. Canvases from the
brushes of the most famous masters
adorn the galleries. Second only to 1t
are the tapestries and oriental rugs.
Grandin road, on which the estate
borders, is devoted exclusively to old
family homes, the owners OF which
are all rated far in the millions. The
Longworth estate is about one mile
from any car line and half mile from
the road, the driveway being over
Swallowed with heavy foliage.
Nicholas Longworth H., for there
have been four, married a daughter Of
Judge Timothy Walker. the present
Nicholas mother. His sister Maria
is now the wife of Bellamy Storer.

The Countess De Chambrun is another
sister.
Congressman Longworth's grand
father was an art connoisseur of inter

endowed the Cincinnati art gallery,
setting aside for its use 100000 in
ground rents. He had the most COM
plete collection of Messing pictures
in the world.

Take the Hopeful View.

Those who are prone to alarm at
the recent disclosures of fraud and
corruption in high places should take
heart of their faith. Our nation is
robust and strong, young and Eirile.
We shall not die OF the national meas
les. The disclosures are warning
that We have the measles. that is all.
As we have caUght the disease com
paratively carly in it's development
ard have good physicians we will get
well. II was nearly a third of cen
fury ago that James Anthony Froude,
the English economist, wrote optimis-
ticaly. Somehow this world was
built unon moral foundations. and in
the long run it is well with the righ-
teous and i'll with the wicked man. -
