The manor of Hever which has come

in Henry Wis reign by Sir Godfrey

his great-granddaughter, met Henry

On her death the manor was given by
that monarch to Anne of Cleves. There

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
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 a state, was the inventor OF
the Cherokee alphabet. This famous In
dian. whose memory deserves to be bet
ter known, was born about 1860, 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
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
80 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 a list of characters expressing
| every sound in the Cherokee tongue. 1t
was put to severe test. The mission

Seuuoyah had the supreme satisfaction
of seeing his alphabet adopted by tho
Cherokees. With minor changes, Sc

and educators have called his alphabet
one of the most perfect ever devised to
express any written language. Sc,
uloyah died in 1S43.
,ihe first printing press to use Sc
auoyan's alphabet was set up at New
Echota. in the Indian territory, and its
first issue was a copy Of the Cheroke5
Phoenix, published in February, 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 many

the home of Queen Anne Boleyn, and

WILL VISIT STATES.
LORD ROBERTS, OF ENGLAND,
COMING TO AMERICA.
Popular British Warrior May Be Guest
of President Roosevelt After
Inspecting Canadian Mil
itary Posts.

London.-Gen. Frederick Sleigh Rob-
erts, earl of Kandanar, will sail short
ly for America, where he will make
a tour of inspection of his majesty's
fortifications and military establish
ments in Canada, from Halifax to
Vancouver.
1t is Earl Roberts intention, when
he finishes his tour of duty in the
British possessions, to visit the princi-
pal cities Of the United States, includ-
ing Washington, where, it is believed,
he will be the guest of President
Roosevelt
The general will be accompanied to
America only by small military staff.
Lord Roberts is a soldier OF many
titles, but he is known best by his
rank and file name of "Bobs," given
him lovingly by his military following
because of his fighting qualities and
mis- solicitude for the comfort of the
soldier in the field.
American army officers probably will
greet Lord Roberts with enthusiasm.
He has said many kindly and appreci-
ative things of the American forces,
and recently he declared at a banquet
given in London that West Point was
the greatest military school in the
world.
Lord Roberts probably has more
medals than any other man in the
world, soldier or civilian. He doeSn t
wear them all He can't, for there is
not room for them on his uniform coat.
One decoration, however, he never
parts with. 1t is the bit of bronze
known as the Victoria Cross which is
given only for conspicuous personal
gallantry under the fire of the enemy
Only one other general of the first
rank in England, Sir George White,
has won the coveted cross.
"Bobs" is the son Of soldier and of
soldiers daughter, and he has been
soldering since boyhood. He served
through the siege of Delhi and was
wounded at its capture. He was with
the column which relieved Lucknow
and fought in nearly every important
battle of the Indian mutiny.
In the year 1880 Lord Roberts LED
the English forces in that memorable
march from Kabul to the relief ol
Kandahar. When an earldom was ere

New York.-Would you be king?

but he didn't mind that bit. He and

as there was for the Japanese and

nothing more. There weren't any senes-
chals or chamberains or gentlemen

or even masters of the robes. much less
e common or garden valet.
Only Real American Monarch.
Mr.. Cary is the only real Amer
ican king. Although a section of the
constitution distinctly says that no
title of nobility shall be granted by
the United States, and that no person
holding any Office of profit or trust
under them shall, without the consent
OF congress, accept any present, office

arrival were remembered, and he be-
came Earl Roberts of Kandahar.
Americans who meet Lord Roberts
will find that. like nearly all really
great fighters. he is modest to the
point of shyness. He has been rep
resented at times as a severe critic
and a jealous rival of Lord Wolseley,
and as a condemner of the methods
and work of Gen. Butler and other
officers. AS a matter of fact Lord
Roberts never has criticised any act
of his fellow officers. He has held
opinions, but has kept them to him.
self.
Nevertheless it was Gen. Buffers
failures in the operations against the
Beers that brought Gen. Roberts ac-
lively before the present generation as
a soldier. He was sent to South
Africa as commander in chief of all
ener as his chief of staff quickly and
successfully ended the war which
previously had entailed one disaster
after another on England's troops.
Lord Roberts physically will not fill
the American ideal of a soldier. He
is a small man, but with his erect car
riage he makes the most of his inches,
and he has natural dignity which
is impressive of force. England looks
upon Lord Roberts as the greatest of
it's generals since the days of Yelling
ton.
Lord Roberts has been likened time
and again to the American soldier,
Grant. Their personality is much the
same-silence and force predominant
ing. General Grant is considered by
Gen. Roberts to have been one of the
great masters of war.
In England there has been a ten
dency TO rank Lee as a soldier above
Grant. Lord Roberts is credited with
saying: "They were both great sol.
diers and deserving of the highest
praise, but Gen. Grant had the genius
required for saving the union and
he ought not to be placed second tC
any modern commander"
When Gen. Roberts arrives in the
United States the secretary Of war will
detail an army officer to accompany
him in his tour of the country as hon
orary aid.
