When eighty-seven characters had been
cut or as many pieces of bark Se-qua-
yah declared his work finished and told
Oo-he-chae that they would talk with
mouth open" 1t was not long before the
two could put words and sentences to-
gether by cutting the characters on bark,
and then Se-qua-yah told his people what
he could do. This, of course, they doubt
ed but he proved it by sitting on a large
rock many miles away from his daughter
and receiving and sending messages. For
many moons hundreds of Indians gath
cred to see the wonderful Indian and his
work, and at first both father and daugh-
ter We're regarded as evil spirits. Eventu-
ally other Indians were taught the char
acters, and when it became common his
people realized that Se-qua-yah was in
deed a great man.
After few years Se-qua-yah conceived
the idea of printing a newspaper, the first
publication being called the Cherokee
Phoenix. After the Cherokees were
tramped over the dirt road to their pres
ent home the paper was revived and Is
still published. 1t is called the Cherokee
Advocate, and, while first printed in all
Cherokee, is now issued in both Cherokee
and English: This paper has been great
educator and is often referred to as Sc
qua-yahs paper.

Presence Of Mind.
From the Girls Realm

Man has no monopoly Of that admirable
quality known as presence of mind. In
deed. 1t often happens that in time of
sudden stress woman's mind seems to act
more swiftly than that of man, and mere
girls will do exactly the right thing at the
critical moment. and thereby save valu-
able lives or property. -

How Cherokee Se-qua-yah
Invented an Alphabet
Special Correspondence of The Star.
MULROE, I. T., December II,


MULROE, l. T., December II, 1907.
F the 1853 different languages Or
dialects spoken by as many differ
emf tribes or nations Of Indians
from the time when there was not white
man on the American continent until the
present only one nation-that Of the
Cterokees-has a written or printed Ian
sunge. It requires twenty-six letters to
write or express the English language,
while those of the cherokees run to
cIghty-seven, many of them being formed
exactly like the English.
Tho story of the invention of this a
phabet il one full of interest and is fur
aished by Mr.. w. T. Whitaker. founder OF
the Whitaker Orphan Home. 1t is known
that when the Cherokees occupied a large
portion Of North Carolina, Georgia and
Tennessee there was in the tribe one buck
who was regarded as especially dull ana
lazy, This was Se-qua-yah. He took no
pleasure in the chase for game, seldom
lad the bow and arrow and the warwhoop
had no fascination for him. In the dances
which filled the hearts of the braves ne
took no part: but he was good-natured
and kind. although he had the appear.
ance of being burdened with some deep
and hidden sorrow. His peculiar actions
cou-d not be understood by his fellows
He was regarded as of unsound mind-as
Indians would say Head heap go
round" When not assisting his squaw
around the wigwam he was In the WOODS
alone.
BY and by there came to Se-qua-yah's
home a little girl babe. and there shone
a new light in the queer Indians eyes
upon her advent The little one was
named Oo-he-chae, which means has ar
riyed' or "been given" AS the child ad-
vanced in years the father became more
and more devoted, and would spend hours
with her in the woods. returning to the
wigwam only when the face of the Great
Spirft-the sun-had gone down behind
the mountains now called the Blue Ridge.
Se-oua-yah was not idle while spending
his time in the woods. While listening
TO the prattle of his child. the notes OF
the feathered songsters and the barklngs
of the SQUIRRELS the mind of the Indian
was solving a problem which none or ms
people had ever been able to solve, ana
which was to lift them from ignorance
To Intelligence and Christianity.
*
Years rolled by and still the Indian was
in the woods cutting queer-looking char
acters on pieces of bark stripped from
poplar trees. AS each character was fin
ished he would sit down and teach Oo-he-
chae, who had grown to the age of per-
howe fffoan how To nronarnca II

FLEET AT
HAMPTON ROADS
President Roosevelt to Review

MOVES OUT WITH MUSIC
Keyed Up All the Time to Battle
Pitch.
WITH PEACEFUL INTENT
Composed Exclusively of Heavy
Fighters, the Bulldogs Of the
Great Naval Kennels.
INTENT
PEACEFUL

When President Roosevelt steams down
to the head of the column Of the warships
anchored in Hampton roads today and or
ders hosting signal set on the May
flower. sixteen battleships and four supply
ships, column six miles long, under COM
mand of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans,
will Up ANCHOR and, in single file, pass out
the Virginia capes in stately review.
The band of every battleshp will play
the Star Spangled Banner" the sides of
the ships will be lined with sailors. the
officers will be at attention and the Presi-
dent will stand with head uncovered
When the last ship in the line has passed
the Mayf1ower that vessel will head for
Washington.
Admiral Evans fleet will turn south.
Where it is really headed for Is not
known. The program at present Is that
1t shall arrive at San Francisco about
May l of next year.
No matter what the real destination of
the fleet may be, the naval Importance of
the movement may be summed up in
these words Of the President from his re-
cent annual message: mo fleet of such
size has ever made such voyage"
The fleet has been designated officially
by the President in his message as the
Battle Fleet. This is not because the fleet
is necessarily going out to give battle, but
because 1t is the fleet that would give bat
Tie II this country were engaged in war
with another maritime power
1t is the first time that any, fleet of the
United States has been called a battle
fleet in time of peace. 1t is departure
in naval nomenclature that is significant
to many persons. To those in the navy
1t is regarded as meaning that this fleet
is being made ready to give battle and
that the settled policy Of the Navy De-
pertinent hereafter is to have a fleet keyed
up to battle pitch all the time.
The ostensible purpose, and the only
purpose SO far as has been given out and
so far as the naval officers of the fleet
know. of the cruise is for practice. That
means the solution of problems of long
continued seamanship In concert, of sup
plying a great fleet with coal and provis-
ions in out of the way places and Of tar
get shooting.
The President has said that the cruise to
the Pacific will show what the needs Of
the navy are. 1t will bring out the de-
fects In training and equipment, and the
best means of correcting them will then
be matter for the Navy Department and
Congress to deal with. The President has
declared that cit will be of very great
educational use to all engaged in it."-Let
it go, therefore, that this cruise is for
educational purposes.

There are many Cherokee's now living
who still remember Se-qua-yah. whose
English name was Guess. This was his
given name for a full-blood Indian has
no surname. When Se-qua-yah located
in the present Cherokee nation he built
him log cabin in a district which is
now called Se-qua-yah in his honor. This
same rude log cabin stands today about
eight miles from this place, and the In
dams point it out as a place of historic
interest Se-qua-yah was unquestionably
the greatest man his nation ever pro-
duced. He was paid liberal annual PEN
sion up to the time of his death and his
widow received the pension until she
passed away.
The Cherokees are the most enlightened
of all nations of Indians. and until few
years ago were the richest people on
earth, when the Osages took first place
in wealth, receiving annually from the
government about $500 per capita. But
they are lazy and shiftless and have lit
tie to show for their vast wealth. The
Cherokees are thrifty and progressive. a
majority of them following agricultural
pursuits and cattle raising. They man
age to keep the government deeply in
their debt, being paid about $4,000 every
quarter.
